Nice one lads, I'll update the table after the weekend, well done on the Goldsinny Wrasse bonny little fish

Wrasse caught at Dorset 17th July

Phil, do different types of wrasse count as different species ? or are they all just classed as the one species i.e. "WRASSE" The one I posted yesterday was a goldsinny wrasse as you stated however this is a different one a Ballan I suspect. If they are not counted as individual species then just delete the reply. I also caught another wrasse which I suspect might have been a Peacock wrasse but sadly I don't have the photo as yet - the skipper of the boat took the photo however he hasn't sent it to me just yet. It is a fish with most vibrant colours I have ever seen, should I get the photo I'll post it onto the site anyway as a matter of interest, fishing in Poole was like fishing in an aquarium!!
Cheers bud.

It's a corking well done but what was the lure ?

[phill_itofish]

Yes mate they certainly do count as different species.

That second one is a Corkwig Wrasse

He's some info to help id

Niteglow grubs

Thanks for the wrasse species id link Phill. They were caught on a boat and not from the shore and so don't count in the species hunt. I was using glow worm/grubs which are supplied from Moonfleet. I was going for small pollack, small pouting and dabs when I caught this Corkwing. Sadly you cannot see the glow grub I was using in this photo, you can only see the attractor beads, so don't count it in the lure hunt, but at least I now know that all different types of wrasse are classed as different species; I didn't realise it before otherwise I would have paid more attention to the photo's and made sure the lure was visible. The earlier picture of the Pollack I caught shows the glowgrub. I put these into a 35mm camera film container with a small 2" torch which emits UV light beam which the grubs absorb and they are then luminous for several hours. A friend of mine who fishes the south coast has had a lot of success with them and so I thought I'd give them a try. I've attached a photo of the glow grubs that are supplied at Moonfleet Angling which cost £2.75 (Enterprise Tackle Niteglow Grubs) so that anyone else interested could give them a try.
