    Artificial shrimp

    My kids bought me a selection of Weston salty shrimps for my birthday. Anyone have experience of these.?? Are they best hopped along the sea bed or danced around under a bubble float . Hoping for some experience and inspiration to help

    South Coast Cogden, I would stay well clear!

    We did that at dungeness. Same thing. Skipper came back later to have a go but thought better of it as there were several angry anglers that lost tackle to his netting within casting range

    South Coast Slow night

    Great report. I always have my Nikon compact binoculars with me now when fishing. Not only to have a general scan for anything interesting but to screen people to see what they're up to. Learned this from fly fishing when a bloke down the bank was catching and I wasn't so I went for a chat to...

    South Coast Got one of my "extra" targets for the year!

    That's proper angling. It's not always about double figure fish, it's proper finesse so well done. Beautiful pics too.

    South West Should have stayed in bed 🙄

    Great report Agent F. Sounds like you put in a lot of effort, I think the jacket and trousers were trying to tell you something. Nice catch tho . Calling the CG is wise and thoughtful.

    A 1 lb 9 oz monty is impressive. Good report and pictures. We called pout ' montys' because on the boat their eyes would bulge like

    FS Casting preference

    I might have to get over on a field and practice that. I've ordered a 14 ft rod for my chrimbo gift so it might need a practice with a long rod and a low left FS.Cheers. I used to do a good 200 practicing on grass with my multiplier when I was codding and got funny looks from people swishing my...

    FS Casting preference

    Was wondering that as a right hander whether casting with the reel in a low down position using the left hand to release the line while the stronger right arm is free to load up the rod is better or not.. I did it with Abu 6500c's back in the day but not with FS reels.

    What’s your worst tackle purchase ?

    A Shakespeare ugly stick beachcaster. My first ever rod as a beginner and the salesman in the shop must've thought it was his lucky day and dumped it on me. It was a rubbish rod
