walkway

[danny boy]

Today i decided to fish the walkway at shields and what a big mistake, between the three of us we had 5 rods out and lost weights nearly every cast,but we did get fish,(coalies and small codling.)

After three hours we decided to go and fish the pier just before the gates,plenty bites which resulted in coalies,codling,plaice dabs and flounders.

will not be fishing the walkway until the winter when it is worth losing gear.

Back to the first gates tomorrow.

unlucky m8, its always a nightmare to loose lots of gear, at least you caught

sounds like samphire hoe down my way,not worth putting on to many swivels ect,i just use top swivel,the rest is just tied,at least you didnt blank,can you not float their

i went to the walkway today to test out my new rod and lost 1 set and abit of line when it snapped at the water but my friends lost quite a few set ups. it wasnt that snaggy last time i went and think il be giving that place a miss till winter aswell lol

 

[adam.d]

A big cast is needed at the walkway (150+ yards) if ya don't wanna loose gear

 

[chipper2]

sounds like you need a very fast retreive reel!

 

[adam.d]

Yeah a big chuck and a fast reel is defo whats needed up there. 525's are perfect

big tides will cause more snags as ya gear just drags either way finding snags but best on a big cast into the middle why i like to fish it when the tide slackens off on the ebb

 

[Charlie_Thompson]

Is there not a git big rope out there?

 

[gary2010]

yeah i got snaged when i just lobbed it out to see if there were any fish closer in because people were catching coalies on hanglines lol so i thought id have a short cast about 40 yards and got snaged. i think there is a rope out there because my line was frayed when i got snagged and when i pulled up on my rod the line snaped near the water so maybe it kept rubbing on a rope or something with the tide

aye the walkway is a tempermental place, some days its like a winter hungry cod eating every thing in sight other days like a slow swimming , shy mullet round a jetty and not even take a sniff at your bait even when placed right in front of it , but thats fishing win some lose some
