  1. Bait Discussion
    Hi guys, I regularly visit my closest Chinese supermarket to buy boxes of squid so I always have a supply of bait. I don't live near the coast and local tackle shops have minimal if any options. Whilst browsing the various options of other things available I noticed boxes of 'soft shelled crab'...
  2. Beginners and Improvers

  3. Beginners and Improvers
    It's a 3/0 hook, is this too small, could I position it any differently? Am I hindering myself in anyway? Like hook to big for bait or vice versa. Any criticism welcome

    Headed down to slapton yesterday evening around 4:30. High tide was just after 6. I was fishing 2 rods. On the 1st I was using Ragworm on a 2 hook flapper rig with size 2 hooks.

  9. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 South & West Wales Catch Reports
    Hi guys! Just come back from Cold Knap expecting a good couple of Doggies & maybe an odd Ray, but instead... a blank, somehow? I was fishing two big baits on two rods, hoping for either an early pack of Smoothies to come around or to see if a Ray was lurking about, but instead, all I got were...
  10. Bait Discussion
    Hi all, I've been looking into oils for old baits such as Solent Seagoo & Holy Mackerel, the thing that's stopping me tho is whether it's effective or not...

    Where do you plan on getting bait from? Ive got some bits left over and in the freezer but not much. What baits do you get from a supermarket?
  13. General Sea Angling Discussion
    This is sometimes used in course angling to hold boilies together, but I’m wondering if the same idea could be applied to big squid/lug cocktails to stop whiting and other small species tearing the bait apart before the targeted species gets a look in. Has anyone tried this before?

    Hi everyone, just wondered if anyone knew of any decent spots to collect mussels in the area? Heard down Barry Docks is alright but not sure where or how I am supposed to get to them without putting the wetsuit on :BigGrin: (joking).

  20. Tackle & Equipment Discussions
    Hi, Has anyone tried emulating the PVA mesh bags that carp anglers use to get more scent by their bait from the shore? I invariably have some bait leftover after most trips and wondered if freeze drying or desiccating it, sticking it in a PVA mesh bag and using it as "groundbait" by the hook...
