A Pest or Just Good Fun

I'd only ever caught one tiny Wrasse previously, so I thought I'd look into this species a little closer and targeted them on one of my days away.
What a pleasure it was to catch such a small and powerful, and, very bonny fish. So I went from only ever having caught one, to, well, have a watch and see for yourself.
Bait : Ragworm, on the float.

[@BeneathTheWavesFishingJersey]

Great Fun and a great way to learn the basics, wether its on a float or by lure. for me wrasse got me to where i am now. :) great content and new to your channel hinny. subbed

[@fishinghinny]

Ah thank you, much appreciated. Yeh the Wrasse are good fun on light gear, they can certainly brighten up an otherwise quiet day 👍🎣🐟

[@stephenfarmer3908]

Great watching the float fishing,love it myself I do it with a 10 foot specimen rod 20 pound mono on the reel rubber ledger stop to move up and down for depth then a bead float bead leader stop again which is about a foot above the ball weight (use the ledger stop to stop lost the float if I get a break off ) then a bead swivel then dropper about a foot long and hook and rag worm as bait ,it’s just great seeing the float go down in a dive brilliant! but it’s great to see others doing the same well done 👌.

[@fishinghinny]

Thanks Stephen It’s a very relaxing method of fishing, I’ll have to do more in the future for other species 👍🎣🐟

[@theanglingfront]

Awesome session! I personally love to target Ballans on the light gear too, the fight they put up it’s incredible! Great watch, looking forward to the next one 🤘🏻🎣

[@fishinghinny]

Thank you, yeh I think so too, I’ll have to see if I can catch some on the east coast too in the future 👍🎣🐟

[@robpattison4868]

[@fishinghinny]

Thanks Rob, much appreciated 👍🎣🐟

[@paulvandermaas6639]

Wow. So many fish and a different technique. Thank you again for an informative and entertaining video

[@fishinghinny]

Thanks Paul Yeh, I was hoping for one or two but ended up with quite a few more 👍🎣🐟

[@MickBrown-oe8ho]

I've caught a few up the mull it's good fun and some of the colours are fantastic.

[@fishinghinny]

Yeh they are a very pretty fish Mick, lots of fun to catch 👍🎣🐟

[@Steven-Sea_gull]

Been trying locally for wrasse on the lures but nothing yet but that's fishing. Nice when you catch your target species well done D 👏👏 great content as always 👍

[@fishinghinny]

Thanks John I should try that for a future vid, Wrasse on lures 👍🎣🐟

[@darrenferrow203]

Some Bonny Ballan wrasse there 👍

[@fishinghinny]

Thanks Darren, yeh they are a lovely looking fish, pattern and shape 👍🎣🐟

[@user-iq7ul6nz8b]

Total Billy Goat country that pet. Great session and content. Can not wait for the next one 💯🤎

[@fishinghinny]

Haha yeh, it’s tough on the feet for sure 👍🎣🐟

[@789stv]

Well done great fishing , make the most of these days. Makes up for the slow ones Tough wee fish are wrasse.

[@fishinghinny]

Yeh great fun and non stop action 👍🎣🐟

[@siltybottomcarpers7418]

The two most common species of Wrass found in Northern waters are Ballan and Corkwing, you can tell a Corkwing as it will have a Black spot on the wrist of it's tail. Ballan wrass are the larger growing to over 6lb. 👍

[@fishinghinny]

Thank you 🙏 I bet the large ones put up one heck of a fight, I’ll have to have another try sometime in search of a monster 🐟🎣👍

[@colinmaceachern9]

Nice video and plenty fish.

[@fishinghinny]

Thanks Colin, yeh great fun 👍🎣🐟

[@stephenboreham9056]

Excellent Hinny 😊

[@fishinghinny]

Thanks Stephen 👍🎣🐟

[@michaelhayes1068]

Well done young lady .. Great fun on a float rig Thank you 😎🎣

[@fishinghinny]

Thanks Michael, yeh a great fishing session, easy, and lots of fun and plenty of action 👍🎣🐟

[@ashleyhoward8926]

Well done Hinn, another fish-tastic success. Keep ahad!

[@fishinghinny]

Thanks Ash, seems like all the fish are on the west coast just now 👍🎣🐟🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@chrisbree3467]

Lovely video Danielle, the wrasse that you were catching were ballan wrasse. They are the most common wrasse around our shores. No two are alike, some of them are really beautiful but some are really drab and you are right, they can scrap a bit especially if they are a bit bigger. Keep the content coming ❤️🐟

[@fishinghinny]

Thanks Chris I really like their shape, they are a lovely fish. I’ll try targeting bigger ones next time 👍🎣🐟

[@stevecoppin4278]

Good Evening Dannielle What cracking session well done girl , take care & tight lines

[@fishinghinny]

Thanks Steve A very enjoyable, and productive session 👍🐟🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@CaptJazzmag]

Can’t beat a bit of Wrassin’ 🐡. We get some real clunkers off the rocks and in the gullies, down this way (West Cornwall).

[@fishinghinny]

I’ll have to get down that way for some fishing at some point, I imagine the big ones will put up a great fight on the light gear 👍🐟🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@CaptJazzmag]

@@fishinghinny that they do! I landed one close to 3lb on a 5g LRF rod the other day - it was a close run thing, even with a telescopic net.

[@fishinghinny]

Haha brilliant 🤩

[@briantaylor8366]

WELL DONE HINNY .JUST COME BACK FROM CRESSWELL TOWERS NO WONDER YOU FISH THAT COAST

[@fishinghinny]

Hi Brian Yeh it’s really quiet east coast just now, I’ve been out a couple times since getting back with o my a tiny Coalie to show for it … I feel another west coast trip coming up 🤩👍🎣🐟

[@Niall-ie3iy]

Nice to see you having fun great wee video

[@fishinghinny]

Thanks Niall, yeh it was great fun, lots of fun on the float and light rod 👍🎣🐟

[@richyiotp1]

A good mix of corkwing and ballan wrasse away over there next month myself to try for them

[@fishinghinny]

Should be even better next month with the weather warming Richy, hope you get plenty, tight lines 👍🐟🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@rayjary-ns6ju]

Great video glad you got your target species

[@fishinghinny]

Thanks Ray It was a great little session 👍🎣🐟

[@allanedoc9835]

Hi hinny Where did you stay, did you camp or motor home or stay in digs?

[@fishinghinny]

Hi Allan I had my tent with me, I camped on the field which is behind the village pub 👍🎣🐟

[@allanedoc9835]

@fishinghinny thanks could you let me know whom to phone or how to book. Iv fished there many times but I normally head to burrowhead but that's a treck and the terrain looks better where you were.

[@fishinghinny]

No need to book in as they don’t charge, just have a meal and a pint at the pub as way of a thank you 👍

[@darrenmall7963]

Where is that place thanks

[@fishinghinny]

Isle of Whithorn Darren 👍🎣🐟

[@darrenmall7963]

Looks a cracking little spot on light tackle

[@fishinghinny]

Yeh it is, plenty of places to fish with a little scrambling involved, nothing too difficult though 👍
