Sea Fishing Angling

At the Southern end of Arran is Pladda. Excellent Pollack fishing around the 2 reefs and lighthose area if you can charter a boat. Plenty of rocky coastline for shore fishing.

Did you make the mistake of casting into the bait fish shoal? It is best to cast to the edge of the shoal as there is more chance of mackerel attacking the stragglers at the edges after they smack into them and stun them. If you cast to the middle of the baitfish shoal then everything is lost amongs...

Hi all,

Can I have some info on beach and shore fishing within the Brighton area around September.

Having never fished the area I am seeking info from those that regularly fish the area.

All comments appreciated

A few mackerel were caught by the rod anglers but do you NOT see what I mean in comparison to the "netters". As soon as you say, "I seen" in this instance... All year long has a little RED "allegedly" Boat been sen trawling the area. Consider this!! "An average caster gives 75M from the shore. THEN ...

I always go for a catheral hull due to the fact that if the weather turns nasty you can get back in quick also same applies going out, you can be on the fishing ground in no time, It has to be said however a clinker built hull is more stable.

Plenty mackerel around at that point. :x

Hi there, thanks for your reply, do you have a cathedrel hulled boat? Do you think cathedrel hulls can take a bashing from the weather, good for offshore? Thanks John Rabbi, Sorry but the original poster asked a question!!! Hi there, thanks for your reply, do you have a cathedrel hulled boat? Do yo...

Have you tried fishing from that boat in a force 5> ? Blowing onto the shore that you launched?

Keith, on this occasion you have alarmed me.

Thanks Sportstar, I chose braid because I assumed that its much finer profile would enable me to use less lead with strong tides and also I would detect bites better, as well as having more 'feel' with the fish. However, after your comment, I will look into it a bit more. Cheers, Geoff :D :D :D Was...
