Passing through Falmouth we stopped so I could but some frozen bait to fish over the weekend . Cant believe it, no answer to any calls to shops listed on the ‘ net’ . Went to a couple that I had used before, both closed . Tourist information said there arent any except Trago Mills . Went there...

Hi all. In 3 weeks time I will be staying in Helford for 7 days , I have boat fished from there before , but the fishing in the Helford River estuary is a new area for me. I really would like to target Bream, but really anything will do. Any hints, tips on locations, baits etc , would be very...

Hi all . Has anybody here any experience of using these ? I am just building a 50 lb class rod for myself and was thinking of doing the above ring configurations. It is supposed to make bringing in larger fish easier , as the multiplier does not have any side to side movement ( allegedly ) I am...

Hi , just booked a couple of weeks break on Shetland for next year, I was wondering if anybody has experience of the Charter fishing there. I intend hopefully to have a day out from Cullivoe, chasing the bigger cod, but it looks as though getting an indiviual place maybe difficult if not...

Just heard that the Skipper Dave is retiring, boat sold and going to Weymouth . Sad day , have had some belting days out with Dave . Best wishes to him , and can anybody suggest a good Charter boat in the area ? Need bookings for 2024. Dave

Arrived on Saturday, car packed with all sorts of gear, my rock rods and reels for a planned assault on the Cliff Marks that I have got to know over the past years.I also had packed a load of freshwater gear , as next week we are staying on the River Teme, so Barbel fishing is my plan there...

Right peopleses… I am really fed up with boat rods that are made with highly polished, laquered or otherwise shiny blanks. Over time these rods chip and scratch and no matter how carefully you look after them they will need either a full rebuild or rings replaced eventually. I am not into re...

Had a day out with Skipper Dave on Trio last Tuesday, weather was pleasant, sea conditions pleasant, small tide and a North/Northeast breeze. Plenty of Mackerel to a good size, and some Cod, and Ling showing , with a smattering of other species which did not interest me. I finished with 4 Cod...

Well folks, arrived eventually, Saturday evening , we moved into the self catering cottage and after a quick snack we ( for that read I ) decided to scope out the rock marks at the bottom of the field outside the front door. A yomp down the field, over a stile and along the low cliff top...

Hi guys. Once again I will be visiting Orkney in July . I have been three times and know a couple of shore marks , The Barriers , the big pier at Kirkwall and Hoxa head, but am looking to broaden my horizons a bit , could anybody on here advise on other locations ? I dont mind a bit of rock...

Had a few sessions from cliff mark off Port Qiinn, sea has quite a bit of Maybloom , no mackies showing at all, had some stonking wrasse on mussell , down the sides into boulder jumbles . Fishing bottom baits further out had the usual doggies , but hook snoods are being nipped off , I suspect...

Hi all, looking toward a future club trip, we were wondering if anybody has any information re charter boat fishing off the East coast of Scotland . Information seems sparse, so any help or pointers would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance. Dave

Well, our trip to Etive has arrived and we have been here since Saturday.. weather has been in turn chite, sunny , chite chite, sunny ,sunny , chite, repeated, and that was only one day ?. In fact it has not been that good anywhere as far as I can tell, but you have to make the most of any...

Been here for a week now, and as I have not wet a line in the sea for so long, it was good to get onto the cliffs and drop a bait in, I only fish short stints , around 3 hours in the evening taking in the sun setting and a bit of darkness . So, not fished every day, but so far have had Bass...

Found this elsewhere. Nothing new in the world really . Dave

Just wondering ...... Dave

A couple of hours tonight . Fishing from a harbour wall .Would have preferred Bass but instead managed 3 Scad and bumped off a couple of other fish , probably scad again, all to floatfished sandeel. Endgear was a home made sliding float with integral light, fished under depth as tide rose, 2 ft...

With another 5 guys had a charter out of Hartlepool on Friday, sea a bit lumpy but easily fishable , each angler experienced and hoping for good things. Short answer is that apart from small whitings things were dire, I had a small Ling which was biggest fish of the day. We tried Shads, Bait...
