Lure Fishing Challenge 2011

[5150]

Are we running any kind of bonus system for home-made lures - not ones using a bought mold, just purely made from whatever is lying around the house? Might add another element of fun.....?

Tried that last year with bits of shopping trolley tube. made lovely spinners but didnt catch as many as the usually conventional lures that I bought...

I found one of those old multi-coloured magic duster things and some tinsel, was gonna try making some mad looking feather/fly type things...

Finally....

Off the starting line at last, using my little home made lure/fly thing with a couple of split shots to help it sink and dance in the water... Went down Seaton Sluice with the lightest gear I've got and... Scorpions/Bullheads!

Face only a mother could love:


Pic for size:


2nd catch - can someone ID whether these are seperate's please (ie short and long spined?), I'm assuming both the same with different colourations, but anyone confirm?


face pic, but it's blurred sadly.


First had a lovely blue belly to it with the dark green back, 2nd was all the mottled red's with more prominent spotting to the fins.

Annoyingly missed a small blenny that spat the hook back out and took cover somewhere.

nice 1 5150 are those poisionous ive never caught one but look a bit like a weaver so just wondering

[curtis.dunn]

there harmless but a still would not like to get one of those spines stuck in me hand

[kopite2k06]

cheers curtis i wont panic when i catch one then cos i hate weavers i just tend to cut the line at the hook with them like

[5150]

Just ugly as sin, my wife thinks they're cute. Get some nice breeding colours on them, but that makes them look all the more less like something you'd want to touch!

Same species i think mate, well done this is one i'm hoping to catch but i think they will prove difficult, may stand you in good stead. will update the table now.
