Tronix Rockfish UL - My new toy

My first impression of the Tronix Rockfish UL(ultra light) is great. It is really light and seems to have a good balance between sensitivity and strength. Time will tell but I'm wishing the weeks away for summer so I can target wrasse, mackerel etc with it. Should be fun playing with mid sized fish on really light gear.

Still I just need some nice calm weather for a few days so I can get out and christen it.

My targets for 2013

Well so far from me the fishing has been non existant in 2013, so while I'm waiting to get off the mark I thought I'd put my targets down in writing to I can more easily review how successful my year has been.

Now fishing wise there are too many different things I want to achieve, some realistic and some a bit more of a push so I have decided to only note five specifics (in no particular order) for this year and mix them up difficulty wise. Some will require a bit of luck and some just need me to put the hours in. More than anything good old Mother Nature needs to play ball with some proper defined seasons and an especailly warm and calm summer would be a real treat!

• Any species over 10 lb from the shore.
• A wrasse (should be easy but a total bug bear for me!).
• A species tally of 20 from the shore (including 5 species I have never caught before).
• Explore more and don't get too comfortable going to the same places to regularly.
• Get to grips with my new light rock fishing gear and the different tatics for using it.
