The period from mid January through until late March sees some of the best wreck fishing for pollack here in the UK with fish in excess of 20lbs possible. However this year also sees the added possibility of some very big cod being caught from the same wrecks with fish above 20lbs, and possibly even [...]
I’m often asked exactly which mono line I use for fishing, but I can’t answer that specifically as I tend to choose different line for different types of fishing. In short, for me, there is no perfect all round line that covers every eventuality. That said some come close! When using mono on both shore [...]
It feels like the fishing Gods are conspiring against me! When I’m working away the wind turns to the west, increases to a good force 6 and builds up a big, steady surf that just screams cod. When I’m at home, which is rare enough these days, the wind drops, the skies clear and the [...]
A full range of Sebile plugs and lures are about to appear in UK shops as part of the Pure Fishing portfolio of brands. Sebile need no introduction to the more experienced UK lure bass anglers as these guys have been importing them from overseas for some time, and to great effect with large numbers [...]
I’ve been using the new Berkeley NanoFil line now for over 8 months and in that time its spawned huge conversation and interest with the people I’ve been fishing alongside. I’ve also been getting a growing number of questions re NanoFil fired at me via Facebook and e-mail from anglers who have picked up on [...]
I think most of you are aware that one of my favourite things in sea angling is hunting new species! One I’ve been after for a while is a brill. I’ve tried a few times to catch one of these stunning looking flatties, but so far they had avoided all contact with my baits. To [...]
Coming home from a recent trip to the west of Ireland, I’d engineered a few free hours before my ferry was due to leave. My target was to catch a mullet in the harbour at Kilmore Quay in County Wexford. There are mullet inside the harbour here, but the best fishing, if you can find [...]
Devotees of the iconic Penn International reels can now custom build a reel to their own specific colour designs, plus have it uniquely engraved to create a reel specific only to you. This applies to anglers anywhere in the World! You can choose any reel from the single-speed International SV series, the 2-speed Penn International [...]
Some of the commonest questions I get asked are about the advantages and disadvantages of Fluorocarbon, and does it justify the general increase in cost over standard monofilament? To keep things simple, Fluorocarbon is a special line designed to be much less visible when immersed in water than monofilament is. Some people doubt this, but [...]
Although wrasse can be caught from the shore pretty much anytime from April on, it’s August when the wrasse fishing really hits top gear. This falls in nicely with many anglers summer holidays, and with minimal tackle you can enjoy some great sport. For average sized wrasse up to 3 or 4lbs, a 2-4oz spinning [...]
