[The Cornish Kingfisher]

Q: I have been fishing for about 6 months, now - and all i've been catching is wrasse and the odd small pollack. How can i increase the amount of species i catch?
A: The key for shore anglers is to switch from your usual venues. If you mostly fish the beaches for cod, whiting, dogfish, dabs, sole and bass, ask yourself when was the last time you fished your nearest pier or harbour wall with float tackle for mackerel, pollack and garfish, or tried the estuary creeks and harbour boat moorings for mullet, flounders, weevers and eels.
Even this though, can't give you the variety that rock fishing will. Just three or four trips a year to rock marks facing the open sea and giving access to deep water will substantially boost your species count. These are the marks that produce shore rarities like ling, spurdog, tadpole fish and the unusual flattie called a top-knot.

Thank you for your question!
