Mis-cod-ceptions

Another thing to remember is that 90% of fishing tackle is designed to catch anglers! Look, I'm relatively new to this forum, but, prior to moving to Devon in the late 80's I spent a lot of my youth fishing from Seaham (the Blast beaches) all the way north to Eyemouth - you need to get out and fish various marks in all sea conditions, eventually, you will catch, it's a steep learning curve, but having browsed this forum for a while, there is a wealth of knowledge available, bottom line is ASK, most folks will give you an honest answer.

what is Bottom of the Wherry like to fish as was think of fishing there sunday.
what rigs to us as well as never fished there before

Rocks and kelp mate rottom bottoms definitely needed.
I use pulley rigs

Good thread Philip

Flapper rigs for clean beach

Single stand off paternoster style on a three way (wahey) swivel for the kelp

Can't cast for toffee but most of the places I prefer to fish don't need it

Crab not the be all...my PB came on mussel

6/0s are for the boat

Never go bigger than 4/0 these days...usually around a 2 or 3/0

You don't need a £400 rod to catch a cod!

fished the Wherry Thursday. To the left seems clear. To the right rocky. Ended up on top of central cliff and only lost one sinker. Mind I blanked as well.
