wrasse at mount batton
i can only speak for plymouth on this one
put a float out at varied depths from mount batton with nothing but ragworm for bait should get you wrasse of many sizes, use larger worm baits or cast further to try and avoid the many tidlers.

how do u hook live prawns?
how do u hook live prawns?
RE LIVE PRAWNS
To attach live prawns, carefully pass the hooks point under the first shell section after the tail. Do not attempt to go for more as the prawn will die. Live prawns are gulfed down by all fish and your hook will take.
If your fortunate enough to be able to gather live prawns, your fishing experience is sure to be successful. They make an excellent bait for virtually every estuary species and many ocean going species too.
You'll need a good aerator and continual water changes to keep them alive. If they die, freeze them immediately, however, once thawed, they do not re freeze well.
Dead prawns are simply attached by threading the hook up through the body from tail to head.

Decent Wrasse
Anywhere rocky is good... but i tend to move about, wrasse are pretty terratorial so if you dont get a cracker move on, i use short trace (4-6'') 30-40lb with 2/0 hook on running ledger. no need to cast just flick out where you want! live hard crab always best bout size of 50p piece!!!
This always works for me just hold on when you hook one!!!
