Hi There

After a few years, maybe 10 I would like to get back into sea fishing in the South West. I'm based in Taunton and was thinking of fishing at either Burham or along the coast near minehead. The thing is I'm not sure on the type of fish I should go for and what bait and tackle I should get.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Spacemonkey, welcome to the forums and back to fishing.

Cant help with your area as I'm down in Plymouth. Sure someone in your area will respond when they see your post.

Tight lines, bent rods and no snagging rocks.
