id say sea trout.

you mean ... Ireland

when I started sea fishing everyone used reel up. the only one I knew who didn't was Jim Dobie. after years of trapping my nuts it felt great to use the reel low. with the modern rods I find they are much more user friendly this way. fishing long, stiff rods though into heavy ground can make the...

I fished next to that group of Chinese lads the other day. just me and them on the end. they don't speak a single word of English between then. they were having a great time trying to get their fish in before the seal got them. I had to keep out of the way of there casting though. some very...

you will be causing it when reeling in. with braid you cant reel in slack then tight line. when using your lure you could be working the lure and reeling in bits of very slack line. jerking the lure will also do this. when you come to cast, the tight and slack line coming off the spool causes...

Thank you..:thumbup:

Has anyone got a contact number for him? I have some lead for him.

it depends what species your after and at times where your fishing. worm tipped with mackerel will take all flatfish. whiting like small chunks of mackerel. coalfish will happily take mussel. cod this time of year prefer crab but in the open sea lug can get them.

definitely just looks like a reflection of the pier on the lens. theres nothing there just sand. on the biggest tides you can almost walk that area.

when going for quantity for the freezer I take my medium sized cool box with an ice block in. I don't gut or behead the fish. once I have about 10 or 15mins passed I quickly knock off the fillets. these are layered in the bottom of the cool box and ice block put on top. this I repeat until the...

sorry I cant help with the venues but this time of year your best off targeting the flatfish of clean beaches. size 2, 2 hook flappers lobbed into the shoreline. worms tipped with a small piece of mackerel is all that's needed. to be honest the flat fish fishing is better on your side.

well done nicky, good start.

nice result, where all the fish caught coalies?

you will love it from the first cast. let us know how you get on with it.

I have the rod your looking for and have been using it for many years. Tip Tornado sport. I started with the original formula tip tornado. I used this until it became the sport and a softer match and stiffer grand prix were added. my old formula softened with use but the mk1 sport is...
