Is that a barracuda

[robbo 872]

Not many barracuda in cornish waters, although it may not be long as were catching quite a few new species in the last 2 or 3 years. Plenty of tuna about this year off the cornish coast.

Matt

No mate only a lower limit, which is currently 42cm. I dont really keep a lot but i was fishing a competition.

I caught it just fishing a bog standard running ledger rig. Half a peeler crab on a 4/0 Simple as that really. 20 yd cast into a clear patch between rocks and weed. I always hold the rod when im bassing so i can react immediately when i get a take. Found that i get far more hook ups than if i sit the rod in a rest.
