Good morning Hope you're all well and catching plenty! Quick question. After a recent east coast trip, I washed and cleaned and dried out all my gear but... Never got round to having a good look at my (fixed spool) reels. Now, they seem to be very stiff to turn. Novice question, but do you...

Evening all Hope you are in good form and catching plenty. Not been on here for a while, been mainly coarse fishing but the youngster and I are itching to get to the coast, so we are planning a Hornsea trip on Saturday. My question is this. How long does frozen lugworm last in the freezer? I...

Thank you to you all. We've both got a lot to learn, but having a lot of fun in the process 😁👍

Evening folks Here is a thrown together hotchpotch, that I dare to call a trip report. Myself and my daughter are pretty new to the sport, having a coarse fishing background but with a whole lot of stuff to learn about sea fishing. No fishing action of late due to a chaotic house move, this had...

Low tide at Hornsea was a good day out in the end, Trip report coming out now.

Morning folks Hope you are all well. So, the most eagerly anticipated fishing session in months (been moving house and had no time). My plan was get up early with the youngster, car packed, sarnies/flasks already made and get to the east coast early, for what I thought was a 9:30am high tide...

Brilliant 😁👍

Or, a couple of 3-piece rods. Might work out a bit cheaper and I know I'll get to the shore with my rods not having blown off the roof on the M62 😬

That was my thought. Going to have a try out at the weekend!

Morning all Sorry, not been on in a while. Was bidding on one on fleabay but got pipped in last 5 seconds and my internet was too slow to counterbid! I'm in no rush for a boat rod, won't be getting out afloat until summer. Definitely, definitely, 100% going somewhere (beach) next Monday...

Afternoon folks I was recently given a proper lucky dip box if mixed odds and ends. Some good, some in the bin and some unsure 🤔 Quite a few spools of line, some new/unused. However, I have zero idea how old it is or how it has been stored (heat, sunlight, etc). Would you trust it? Or Would...

Not much interest in the multiplier or big centrepin. Contemplating keeping them and getting a low end boat rod so that whenever we go boat fishing we don't have to hire gear. Asked on the boat fishing section for advice, but any thoughts on cheap-ish boat rods (just for small-medium sized...

How do folks I've done a bit of shore fishing and a lot of freshwater fishing, but only half a dozen boat trips. My young one and I are both thinking about buying some tackle of our own, rather than hiring each time. Just looking at/pricing up Rods. Any recommendations for a budget starter...

The Harlow reel has attracted a Steward's enquiry. Some mysterious bidder is bidding up then cancelling (4 times). Some sharks on eBay...

Morning all Put them all on eBay. The Harlow centre pin reel is stirring up a bit of interest!
