The little… Blenny I think, took about 20 minutes to get a successful capture. Very small, shallow pool my hand is inconveniently covering. I did post a picture a while ago of this area though. Very skittish little guys. But it was actually an extremely fun task to try and catch one. It has to be dead low tide though, so not sure when I can time a trip and no assurances the pools will still be there with them in it. Such is life, but at least I successfully landed one.
Big split shot? Yeah, I need the weight fishing rocks in the Inlet, lots of current and wave action. Smaller ones are like using no weight at all, not successful. I need to get the bait down and have it hold in specific spots or it gets washed down in crevasses or against the coral rocks and I lose the rig.
The Sergeant Major I was able to target schools (4 to 10 individuals) of about the same size fish in the shallower crevasses. The ones smaller than the picture are difficult to single out. The wave action is such that when I target them, the bait drifts and the larger ones are faster and grab the bait first. I will get a smaller one though. Stay tuned! HaHaHa
