Yes some live sandeel would be most welcome! Even using fresh deads or fresh frozen. Occasionally get some bigger ones on the sabikis and metals, sometimes 30cm long!

Would you recommend getting one for bait collection then? Also want to try them for the table too, heard good reviews 😋 Appreciate the info,Tight lines,

Anyone use them? With the price of bait continually rising and fresh bait being so key for a lot of species, I'm really looking to focus on being more self-sustainable with bait. Thinking a decent pushnet will perhaps be the best option for efficiently collecting prawns/shrimp/sandeels etc. Was...

Lown chai in St. Austell a good bet (y) Found their lug of good quality and plenty frozen bait macks/squid/herring but didn't ask about crab or razor, maybe give em a ring? Always get my razor from morrisons great value. I have an idea though, make a couple prawn traps out of 2L plastic bottles...

Remember a day out on the plaice couple years ago, rag tipped with raw shop brought prawns outfished lug for them, think we had just over 70 to the boat between 3 of us. Thinking of putting 2-3 elasticated on a pennel with the last one tail hooked for the plaice. Will let you know how I get on...

Thanks mate appreciate it, look forward to giving it a go and hopefully, fingers crossed, will result in a lower number of dogs when ledgering compared to fish baits... tight lines,

Yes mate I agree the shop bought prawns aren't bad for hounds though I generally use hardbacks or whole squid for them, tight lines,

That's good to hear thanks mate, what have you caught on them?

What did you catch mate and how did you present theM? Float, ledger etc.

Yes mate, been meaning to do it for a while a now and will get round to it soon, especially with the price of bait etc.

Not talking of the shop bought prawns from abroad, but does anyone use live prawns or even frozen/fresh deads from the local shores here and if so to what success? Hear from some they're a top bait in areas, and are plentiful in the rockpools along the area I fish so collection would be easy...

I'm looking to target Rays in areas I haven't explored much yet or know much about. but suspect SE rays to be there. Therefore, was thinking of doubling up bait to maximise scent trail etc. and was thinking of blasting out two clipped-down sandeels to increase the odds slightly. I think it's...

I only hear top things about them, have been looking at a few second hand myself and very tempted but worried I'm gonna end up with a very used rod that's gone soft? They do sound the business though (y)

Whats your thoughts on the T Zero compared to more modern rods?

If you're still looking for a rod and can find one sitting about, I haven't come across anything on the same level as the conoflex bass bandit, exactly what you described lovely tip which could register a seahorse burp from 100yds away, yet strong with plenty of power going into the mid and butt...

This is a great tactic for bass on shallow water (1-6ft) clean-ground venues which have a strong tidal run. Cast out and just keeping in contact with the float as it arcs round in the tide, the redgill will flutter and do it's thing from the push of the water, no input from the angler needed...

Grew up along Southampton water and still fish it a lot but never Town Quay just prefer more quiet areas, having said that would be a great place for starting out, plenty of dogs/pouting etc. and a few sole have started to show so I'm told. Couple months time things should liven up as the hounds...

Thanks mate, really appreciate it. Yeah hopefully something will pop up, that's great help I'll have a search! Tight lines,

Hi all, recently got given a shimano from a family friend who no longer goes out fishing but hasn't used this reel in years and it has very little use, seems an older model built in Japan so hoping it'll serve me well as an estuary reel for my bass rods. Only issue is, the spool cap is missing...

Cheers mate yeh they can give a great account of themselves and seem to fill that slow gap in the year to some extent. Would love to catch a few eels of that size, Tight lines,
