After the strong Southwesterlys we have had over the last couple of days, I saw that the wind was dropping down and that meant an opportunity for some codling, but I would have to endure another silly o'clock session for low water at 4.15am. I arrived at Rossall promanade car park for 1.40am and...

I generally use a tronixpro bait pak for taking my bait on sessions, but I find that it's not great at keeping the bait frozen for long sessions (even with freezer blocks), but it is convenient to take as it sits on top on my seat box. I hate throwing bait away and am reluctant to refreeze...

As the Fylde coast hasn't been fishing well recently due to the weather, I decided this weekend to head over to the Mersey to try to catch some codling. The mark I fished was Eastham Slab, I had never fished there before. My plan was to arrive at 1am and to fish the flood up to high at 4.45am...

From September through to the end of October I like targeting thornback rays on the wirral peninsula. So for my second trip this year I ventured for an early morning session at Perch Rock, low tide was at 6.09am; so I arrived on the beach at 3.15am. The baits I use are mackerel, bluey, squid...

I writing this report up for a mate who is completely computer illiterate! Neil popped down for 2 hours to Elphinstone car park in Plymouth for a quick session around 1pm this afternoon. It was one of the venues that we looked to fish last week before deciding on Wilcove pier. So this was the...

I had been planing for a couple of months for a 3 day fishing trip down south to meet up with a friend who has been posted to Plymouth from Faslane with the Navy. We had planned to fish Wednesday afternoon/evening in Plymouth targeting conger and then have a long session at Chesil on Thursday...
