well we i actually fish with a mate and his father who knows the coastline pretty well, but yeah theres still just something i dont like, maybe it has soemthing to do with the car being broken into before lol... and yeah i love catchin other peoples rigs from macky fishing, you can clearly see they didnt have a heavy enough line lol thats why its also dangerous to fish some places this time of year

yeah you are right about the line i have seen people using a fly rod with 10lbs line on fixt spool and using a 4 ounce lead nealy snaping the rod when casting any how just been talking to my cousin and he said that one of his friend were fishing the sunderland marina the other night and caught 32 codling didnt ask the size but think he may be lying but maybe not said was getting a bit every cast was using macky and and lug

well down that wya i suspect its highly possible, but they'll be tiny bits from right in close lol. we had a half decent night last night, we each had codling upto 40cm aswell as coalies whities and my mate got himself a new pb eel of 60cm (silver eel this is)
