Sea Fishing Angling

Been out on Great White once, good skipper and a lovely boat.
Sean will put you on the fish !

The type of person who would cut somebody zziplex in half is likely to need TWO walking sticks !

If you don`t have a fly rod a small bubble float with a fly behind (or indeed in front) may get you away from the weed and into a fish.


Ps My father went grenade fishing a couple of times in Aden during WW2 ................

and blanked !

I think a sideways drift is normal with the angler moving around the boat if it swings. I am sure a drogue would be a pain in the butt to use and would cut down on fishing time retrieving it and putting it back down repeatedly. I would suggest you persevere until you get used to the motion or leave ...

[quote="rabbi2"]Anyone remember the old wire paternosters? Do they still make them? Well the answer is yes. I found a lad who makes them up in his spare time. Back in the 60s we used to have to cast with them as there was nowt else on the market at that time. Does anyone still use them either for bo...

I believe matching the circle hook size to the size of fish is very important. A small circle hook is unlikely to get a good hold on a big fishes jaw . Circle hooks can be useful if you are plagued by small bass etc which have no trouble swallowing a 4/0 j hook and floating away to die after the unh...

I think i read somewhere that dogfish will swim for 2-3 days after having their brains surgically removed.
They are dead but don`t know it.

[quote="kirk"]The Pac Bay items are good but unless they are available from a UK supplier can be costly.

I ordered some thread, 4 reels, from Pac Bay and the post office charged me the duty on it, that was OK, then added either

Have a look at Pac Bay Minima 4`s , they are flavour of the month.

Tough , light and relatively cheap.

Pretty fish and tasty too !
