Sea Fishing Angling

I'm off from this forum as sensible replies are being moderated.... but before I go I will add this in the pendulum cast the power is applied when the lead is behind and to the left of the left shoulder....look at youtube vids....if a snap off occurs when that power is applied the lead will continue...

the bail arm will snap over sending the lead along the pier? Newton's Laws of motion apply even on piers...if the weight is heading seaward when the snap occurs it will continue seaward afterwards. .....unless you can explain using some other physical laws. edited by steve(dontcatchmuch) on 6/6/2011

look at the graph on http://easytide.ukho.gov.uk/easytide/EasyTide/ShowPrediction.aspx?PortID=0440B&PredictionLength=1 think of it as a picture of hills.....when the hill is steepest the water will be coming in or going out the fastest.... at the top of the hill , over high tide, it is nearly flat s...

Chesil is a nightmare of flying leads, crossed lines, litter, fish guts and bad tempers ..... and spiders crabs ...whenever the mackerel arrive. there are plenty of places to fish which are more pleasant and nearer.. try http://haddock-fishyfishy.blogspot.com/2010/08/weymouth-preston-beach.html or f...

Daz, the pop-up bait is a variation of the running leger... onto your main line put a snap swivel to clip the weight onto...then tie on another snap swivel to hold the hook-length, that will be about 3 to 4 ft long ...thread a couple of floaty beads or a polystyrene float ( the ones sold to keep bai...

I'd back up what MikeO says...the books say shallow but experience says deeper. I caught three gar on Saturday at Swanage.... all at about 11 feet deep ( the water is only a few feet deeper ) later in the year they, and the mackerel, will be at about 8 or 9 feet. We quite often use a pop-up bait to ...

who was talking about rocks ? scuffed and abraded leader is just as dangerous as scuffed and abraded mainline.... probably more so because of the false confidence in it. add a leader, add another knot which is always a point of weakness. If a cast of 40 yards with 3oz needs a shock leader then someo...

it need not be commercial fishing affecting certain stocks.... it could be the 'law of unintended consequences', there are nursery areas for bass and bass numbers are on the increase.... however the flounder population in those places have taken a dive. It could be that the bass is predating on smal...

the 10lb per ounce 'rule' is for people built like brick outhouses doing full blooded pendulum casts.... you mention illness so I imagine you don't fit in to that class....if you are using 3oz I guess you are not using a stiff distance rod. I use 3oz weights on 18lb leaders with bass rods and it's f...

this winter has seen the best cod season for years in the south-west and in the Bristol Channel...followed by a really good plaice 'season'.....mackerel have now shown up early in great numbers..... so catches are not uniformly 'declining' netters can only take a fraction of the fish, the sea is a v...

the fish are sold as 'farmed' usually in the mediteranean countries.

There is no minimum size for farmed fish.

they should be labelled as such.... not 'wild' or 'locally caught'.
