Sea Fishing Angling

I heard that the best bait for Conger is Conger and it does not go down well with any British Conger Club member for obvious reasons. Anyone else hear this or is it just a myth.

Conger's are shy feeder's and will gently mouth a bait before creeping off with it. Once you strike you have to get it off the bottom before it wraps itself around a rock. They are unreal fighters especially close in (ie down the side) they dive, spin, thrash, grasp and bite through traces. You have...

The Shrimp net shown on the web-link work well. I went last night, dropped the net down the harbour wall and had a dozen good Shrimp within five minutes. Shrimp should be around until early December and they will get bigger until they move-off. Shrimp move in swarms and the fish know it. For example...

Rabbi - There is a new public slip-way and it's free. Bolsach slip-way is about half a mile from the Yatch Club. It's not far from the Coastguard station.

Falling 15 feet onto rocks could have been a lot worse. I would count this as a lucky escape. Get well soon mate.

MRIX - Generating revenues from advertising on this site would help although it would make it a commercial venture for tax purposes. However any loss you suffer could be off-set against other sources of income resulting in a tax refund.

Very good point, but I guess the answer lies in gathering statistical data which would have to involve replicating every cast for at least a complete lunar cycle. In other words the same angler fishing the same place with the same bait, with the same hook and so forth. I have seen a double figure Ba...

Local tips - Mackeral are being caught off the first bend. There are more fish right down the side on the reef than 50 yards out on the inside wall, especially when hot. Float fishing down the side on the incoming tide will produce Pollack, Wrasse and Mullet. If you fish off the back wall then be pr...

My mate who's a seaman has caught Whiting off the ship with prawns from the freezer. Another mate swears by crab sticks but he also reckons he witnessed a seagull being dragged under the mud by a giant Ragworm and a Lobster turning off a gas stove.

If they fine you that much, then your better of doing a runner and ditching your gear. If your an easy target then they will bypass serious criminals and go for you because they are guaranteed to get a conviction.

Depends on what livebait and where the fish are feeding. For instance shrimp on a float catches Bass. Mackeral and Sandeel can be ledgered, free-lined or float-fished, depends on where they are feeding and where you are fishing. For example if I was fishing a Mackeral livebait in 100 foot of water f...

Firstly you have to be able to identify a peeler crab. Softies and Peelers are different. Softies have shed and peelers are about to shed their shell. In fishing jargon the following describes crab baits: i) Hardback - Hard shell not in the process of moulting. ii) Crinkly - Semi-hard and not juicy,...

Look for Conwy or Deganwy tides. Holyhead tides are 48 minutes behind Liverpool.

If you go to Beaumaris Town (North Entrance) to Menai Straits and there's is a mark called Gallows Point behind ABC tackle shop by the petrol station on the way into Beaumaris. Pop into ABC Tackle and ask for Malcolm. He knows the Menai Straits like the back of his hand and there is nothing he does ...
