I often hear about shore fisher men, trying to justify the purchase of a new rod because of the lightness of it. I can understand this if your going to spend time standing in the surf holding a rod or spinning or repeatedly casting , but for shore fishing which is generally cast, wind in, rebait...

Hi gents I fished the steps Sunday night on a big tide, light north westerly winds and clear skies, I thought I might be in with a chance of my targets a few R's. Bait was some Swansea bay lug which were coming to the end of their usefulness definitely a bit ripe ;) . Two hook rigs were on both...

Hi gents, I wouldn't be heading for a surf beach normally this time of the year but water temps are up and Swansea bay is dogged out lol. We arrived on the beach about 3.15 pm, its a very big tide so arrived to fish over high water to avoid us having to sprint up the beach in an attempt to stay...

Hi gents I fished the steps in front of county hall from 5.30 to 10.0 pm. It was an overcast day but thankfully no rain.

Hi Gents, I set my alarm for 2 am, after wandering about my sanity, I phone Fulf to make sure he was up, I need not have worried. Our first lures were hitting the water about 2.50 am, mine a white SG gravity stick paddle tail and Fulf a white Albie. We had a half moon shrouded with high clouds...

Hi Gents. Me and my mate Fulf headed out on the hunt for a few silvers, Started around 9.30 pm just as the light was changing. We were greeted with a light onshore wind, 1 ft surf, a rapidly dropping air pressure, and an overcast sky, all and all there was room for some optimism. Fulf went with...

Hi Gents Any experience with the above reel, seems a good price for what will be an occasional reel rather than first out of my tackle box as I favour multipliers.

Hi gents I often fish the surf beaches of the Gower South Wales. I usually fish with two hook flappers with snoods about 14 ins long. Recently I've experimented with the top snoods spaced out more and about 2 ft long, and I've noticed the fish coming on the longer snood. I'm toying with an even...
