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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Afternoon folks Apologies for my absence. Moving house, not had time to scratch my backside! A friend just gave me a box of gear. Think the previous tenants in his house had left it in his shed. Is any of this any use to me (for shore fishing)? Or is it for boat fishing, or is it for the...

Evening folks Got chance of a last minute escape.to NE coast tomorrow, but didn't have time to get properly sorted for bait, especially mackerel! The wife was at the supermarket and I rang he to get some mackerel, she asked if I preferred smoked or with chilli, I said it was for fishing and raw...

Evening folks Hope you are all in fine Friday fettle. By chance have any of you fished either of these marks, south of Scarborough? Might be able to sneak a day off work Tuesday, forecast looks ok, tide times look doable. Found some info here...

Evening folks Here is a round-up of our second trip, having learned a lot but still with a lot to learn. After obsessing over the weather all week, (east or west coast), we went for the eastern option. We were both super giddy about getting to the coast again and despite getting packed and...

Morning folks Hope you're all well. Just planning Saturday's action! Contemplating Mappleton, Tunstall, Skipsea or Hornsea. Fished Hornsea a few weeks ago and had a great day, but fancy trying somewhere new. Like the look of Mappleton but hear it's a tiny car park and not sure we'd get in...

Evening folks Hope you're all in top form. A quick question/plea for advice! Just started sea fishing, one trip under our belts, which went really well, but looking back and looking ahead, our organisation was pretty shambolic! Apart from a constant retreat from the incoming tide, (lesson...

This is my first trip report on her, for my first beachcasting trip. Skip to next paragraph for trip report, here is the brief backstory. I did a LOT of fishing as a young lad, growing up in Cumbria in the 70’s, there wasn’t a lot else to do, (our school was collectively/notoriously crap at...

Happy New Year Folks! Hope you are all well. Planning my first trip this week. Possibly Hornsea area. Got all my gear ready. Baitwise, I'm not sure. Bought 4 wraps of frozen black lug, some mackerel and a box of squid. (All is currently frozen. The lugworm wasn't easy to find!) Possibly hoping...

Afternoon folks Got this book for Christmas. Has much changed since it was published???

Morning all Been looking at options for waterproofs. Was initially tempted by flotation jackets, but asked around and opinions were mixed. On a bit of a budget. This one popped up on Fleabay! SUNDRIDGE MARINE PRO SPORT JACKET...

Morning folks I am looking at the empty work calendar, cooking up a fishing trip (or two). If you could go (shore) fishing anywhere in the British Isles, where would you go? (Maybe with Haroldswick being a bit too far, unless the fishing there is exceptional!) Have got a van, so can do it...

Afternoon folks Hope you all had a good Christmas Day 🎄 Quick question??? Tide times! When I was a youngster I used to get a tiny book with high/low times. In this modern digital age, which resources do you generally go to? (Looking online there seems to be dozens!) Any thoughts would be...

Afternoon all Looking round at possible alternatives for not freezing my proverbials off this winter. Was looking at possible beach shelters and/or a flotation suit! (I had never heard of these suits before, but reading up about them, the marketing bumf says that one would definitely help keep...

Evening folks Just starting up sea fishing (again, after a long break, after all my gear got nicked from my shed). Coming from a coarse fishing background, so have a bit of kit I can use, mainly looking at what terminal tackle I might need to start up. I have: Beachcaster rod Fixed spool reel...
