shore fishing

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...

I thought I’d start a new thread about the above. Now it could be a pb, a session of a lifetime or even just witnessing a catch. I was chatting on another thread with rekamdor about boat owning. It wasn’t till he mentioned Dunbar, that the old memories kicked in. This one comes to mind...
