Sea Fishing Angling

Gulps not very good as a static bait, just whacked out with a beachcaster and forgotten about, but if you treat it as a lure it is very effective, especially the peeler when fished on a 2-10g jighead into kelp forests for codling, pollock or coalies up the west coast of Scotland. The worm, sandeels ...

From the Cadet Base down to 5 Bar is probably the safest stretch of the Fyld for low water fishing , but even then its bloody dangerouse , especially at night which is the best time to fish it. The gulleys fill in behind you damn fast. I always wear an inflateable fly fishing vest, to fish low water...

RIP Mick, shame we never got to Holyhead this year.
You will be missed in a big way.
Always a quick quip at the end of another days blanking.
Heartfelt comiserations to your family and friends.
The pain has gone away.
Mike.

Looks like you had a good time. Wish I could have joined you all, defo looks good lure fishing terratory.
The site with the good beach for Rays that I was trying to remember is the Cock Inn near Glen Luce.
Call me next time you,re out , I need to escape .

Hiya Keith, I,m still around, cows have calved and daughters wedding has happened, so I might get chance to get out to play in the sea soon rather playing in puddles. Forgot to add to the lure rod list the Grauvel Teklons that Veals have. A very highly rated rod by those in the know, and very cheap ...

Best thing is to have a look at the artoffishing website and give Ben a call. He has some very good kit at very good prices and is probably one of the most knowledgable lure angling shops on the UK mainland. I,d also add Savage Gear xlnt rods and Abu Vendetta rods to your list to check out. I use Be...

If you,re looking for a long FS surf rod thats easy cast but good backbone and bite detection look at the Italian Alcedo range of rods. They,ll blow the Daiwa long rods away. Ultra high quality carbon but ridiculously low weight. If I was ever to go back to FS reels I would have these on my to buy l...

Its about time you got the van sorted , I hear the NW been fishing well.
I,m going to be out if I can escape the cows.

Still work as well as they,ve always done. Be careful over rocky , kelpy ground as they dive quite deep. If you fish over shallows buy a couple of Maria Angel kiss.

Test curves were a more common way of rating the old built cane and Spanish reed rods as a guide for the line strengths you could use with the rod. I was taught that the formula was mainline 6x test curve and tippet strength ( hooklength ) 5x test curve. Silk mainlines and gut tippets. I,ve seen it ...

Wish I,d known, I,d have come over for a fish with you.

Bangor pier and the Menai Straits are still fishing OK. Get your bait and bits from Malc at ABC at Beaumaris .

Looks like I,d better not go to my daughters in Devon this week , or I,ll be banned too. >:) >:)
If I do go am I allowed to go fishing and catch some keepers???

The beauty of Anglesey / Holyhead is that with a max of 40 mins drive you can find a fishable mark whatever the weather. Unluckily Mick didn,t bring his oxygen so some of the marks that would have been fishable were out of bounds to us. There were a couple of marks in the Treaddur area that would ha...

As Mick says I,d decided to spend the weekend playing with plastics so didn,t do too well at first. Tried dropshotting with 6" Gulp worms on size 2 Daiichi stand-off hooks at the breakwater, its been a killer system for me for Perch this year so far, and I thought it would be a killer technique for ...
