| If worried about your fishing rod, fear not, along with our uptide
and downtide rods, for 2011 we have invested in some additional
Deluxe Sensor Tip rods along with 4000 sized multipliers loaded with
braid to give you the best possible fight from one of the hardest
fighting small fish in our waters.
This gear is available aboard My Way for your use, free of
charge, if required.
Rig Choice, Weights & Bait
Rig choice varies depending on how quick the
drift is and just how snaggy the bottom you are fishing is. Your rig
can be either a three hook paternoster style, with all the hooks
safely above the lead, or my preferred method of 3 hooks down below
the lead. In both instances though it is advisable to use a rotten
bottom, this is a weak link between your lead and rig, so if stuck
fast in a crevice your lead will break free allowing you to retrieve
the rig, and hopefully your fish.
I have found that
around the country various attractors beads often help to entice the
wrasse to your hooks. Depending on where you fish and the
surrounding kelp etc the wrasse can be attracted to - yellow's,
red's, silver or quite often luminous beads.

Trial and error with
various rig beads will soon help your wrasse fishing improve. The wrasse
around Holyhead vary in their eating habits. Some marks will be far more
productive using yellow beads, whilst other areas your catches improve
with luminous and another particular mark, only floating beads work.
Ragworm is the main
bait. Either head hooked, or
1inch pieces threaded
up the hook, leaving only a small trailing tail. This will
help catch ballans, corkwings, goldsinny, rock cooks and also cuckoo.
However the cuckoo wrasse is also partial to the belly white slither of
mackerel |
