Hi, I'm currently enjoying the cod season but I'm quite new to rough ground fishing. My questions is about my set up. My mainline is 20/25lbs with a 70lb shock leader, I use the 70lb shock leader as the rig body to make a pulley rig with a 15lb hook length and use 10lb line as a weak link for a...

It's been a while, but getting back in to a bit of shore fishing and got an interested nephew to motivate me! Going to Kirkcudbright for the weekend and looking for some advice. Not sure about Dhoon or Brighouse Bay due to the water quality, any advice on any other decent marks nearby, not sure...

Hi all, This is a random question but I’ll be staying in st Austell for a night with work, on Monday. I’m hoping to spin off the rocks at blackhead Tuesday and Wednesday but don’t have any accommodation. Is there anywhere I could pitch up a tent for the night without causing a problem or being...

Simple, robust and effective rough ground rig. I personally find this to be the best fishing rig to use for rough ground fishing for a range of species. Cod, Bass, Rays, Eels and Huss etc. And a video showing the rigs being used for Winter Cod fishing over rough ground.

Here is the video from a shore session showing how I like to target Wrasse - Ballan Wrasse and Corkwings. Also, there is a video showing how I make my "Wrasse Rig" Very simple but also very effective.

Anyone who knows me knows I LOVE my boat fishing. So my shore fishing usually takes a back seat. This session however really gave me an itch to get back out on the shore again!! A long drive and hard conditions but you cannot argue with the result!!

Hello everyone, I found this forum and for once I have decided to join in, and ask a few "newbie" questions. I am interested in beach fishing, and like may have just bought a pair of rods, reels and all the gubbins to start me off. However, I see a lot of photos and youtube articles where those...

Hey there, I may be heading to clifden at the end of the month if lockdown restrictions allow. If anyone could give some pieces of information about good spots where you can fish from, I dont mind beach, rocks or piers, I'm also curious as to what sort of fish you can pick up this time of...

Returning to some sea fishing this year, to accompany my river trout and grayling fishing. With the Forth Coastal permit (Fishing Around The Forth website) it's now possible to fish C&R for coastal seatrout. But interested in float, spin and fly for mackerel, pollock and bass as well!

Recently learnt that flatfish prey on gobies. I'm now wondering if you could livebait gobies/blennies/small fish etc. for Flounder or Plaice. Has anyone ever tried this or could provide me with further information? Any other unusual baits for flatfish?

Had a session at sandwich bay at the weekend and put the video on youtube. Please watch it and like and subscribe if you enjoy it.

Hi, I hope that someone can help and that I'm posting this in the correct forum? As result of an injury I need a total knee replacement and was about to have it in March just before the lockdown, however it was cancelled. Although I'm new to sea fishing I really enjoy it, even getting out into...

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...

Hi folks, used to fish as a kid regular as clockwork but haven't been for about 10 years what with young kids, bills to pay and working far too hard! Planning to get back out there with my son who is dead keen and just wondered if anyone had a few tips on when/what weather and conditions I...

Hi All Great news we can finally get out again. I am after some info and advice for disabled friendly marks around the North West. I fish with a friend who has to use crutches after the loss of the lower half of her left leg so no rock spots please. She can fish from beaches but prefers piers...
