The mornings action started very quickly as it was still pitch black skies when this little Rock Goby took my bait, I had literally been at the Quay for maybe ten minute, this was the first drop in after quickly setting up my rod, attaching a fresh leader and tying on my 2g jig head and hooking on a 1" segment of Isome worm. This was a new species for me and also the fish to christen my new Savage Gear Light Range Fishing rod.
After another twenty minutes or so and quite a few bites that I either missed or I got taken into weed where the hook was discharged I was finally into another fish, Once again to my absolute delight it was another species of fish I have not caught before! This time I had gotten my hands on a Scorpion Fish and what a awesome looking little guy he was to! After this fish though the water started moving a lot faster, or it seemed to be anyway so I changed over the jig head to a 3g one and put on a slightly bigger piece of Isome.
After returning the last fish and changing over jig head I took a walk about twenty or thirty yards down the Quay, on the first put it I had a take on the drop from this cool little Corkwing Wrasse, as you know by now if you read this blog much you will see I get a fair few of these and they have very much become a expected species for me and one I can bank on getting. After a further three more of the same though it was once again time to move position.
I was getting ready to move when I heard a beep from a motorbike horn and looked up to see my brother sat staring at me, he had decided to come down and fish with me for a hour or so which was good as I had now gained a photographer. I sat in the same place messing around with different retrieves while he set up, I managed to hook a further two Corkwings and another Rock Goby this one was bigger though so I asked him to take a picture for me, once he had done this we headed of down the Quay a bit more.
It seemed though no matter where we went small Corkwings and Goby were prevalent in every nook and cranny we dropped into, this was not a problem of coarse as they put up a good scrap on a 0.5-5g rod and were a whole lot of fun! After walking the entirety of the Quay now though and having had a few phone calls from the boss at home we decided to call it a day at that and made this pristine little Goby the last fish of the morning.
