So...as the title says I'm off to Skye for a week in big tent with the other half. We're staying on a campsite just outside Dunvegan. Have just read fiveyardcast's excellent report and am in no doubt that I'll be taking my lure rods with me.... BUT is it worth taking the beach stuff? Bait will...

Meh....sorry...spent literally all day down there...10 bloody hours almost.....and caught this with the last cast! So yeah...a blank! Face like a lobster too!

Nothing as yet....but at least the tide has now turned.

Been ages since I've been on here and even longer since I've been out! So have a spare day today I thought I'd give it a go down in Southwick....near Portslade. Just got here and the tide is against me but on a day like this....doesn't matter..I can be here all day. I'll keep you updated if any...

Haven't been around due to work being ridiculously busy...Christmas is a bar's busiest time and it's been non stop. During the time my rods have been in the garage a bloody mouse has decided to do me a favour and eat through both of my rod bags! Still they're the ones that Sonik supply with the...

Nope.....my girlfriends brother in law.....he was fishing with a Turkish bloke he met a while ago.

Exactly what I have just done...stripped all the braid off and put mono back on...knots were driving me nuts....wind and the one attaching the leader....and even with glasses the braid was difficult to tie for me.

Agreed...they tasted fantastic! ?

I was on Chesil Tuesday last week and plenty of mackerel around....baitfish leaping to their deaths onto the shingle and could actually see the mackies chasing them the water was so clear! And the mackerel were BIG too....

Bugger .. and a brand new old stock Penn Surfmaster 60 with spare spool for 35 quid....I collect tomorrow. Supposed to be a great reel....built to last.

Dammit....ive got my eye on a Daiwa SS 12ft for 50 quid brand new

Probably all that money you spent on the fishing gear she took so much pleasure in destroying ?????
