| Out on the big briny last night, caught over a hundred mackerel in a couple of hours, put loads of tackers back but had some lovely plump ones at last. Water has warmed up loads, 16.5 off Plymouth last night. Started to really hit them at about 8 O clock and were still pulling them out as the sun was going down. The sea was glassy going back in and several big fish on the surface, could have been Bass or Salmon as non are running at the moment, cracking night out with a nice beer at my local for last orders. |

| Apart from the fly casting which is my main sport, i do the occasional spot of sea fishing from the shore, can anyone recommend anything different , ie places, spots, apart from the usual mountbatten etc, relatively local . |

| Have a go with your fly rod one evening at Queeners Point (Rame head) or the grotto down near penlee point. Any decent sized fry imitator or lure will work for Mackerel, Bass or Pollock, lovely way to fish. You can get some pretty decent sandeel imitations in a good tackle shop, good luck mate. |

Depends what you fancy going for really. Most marks will unfortunately be infested with dogfish, but my favourite south coast spots are inthe Kingsbridge estuary for Thornback Ray, and the north Cornish coast (between Newquay and Trevose Head there are some cracking marks) for Small-eyed Ray. Used to love night sessions down there when the ratchet went screaming off... |

| Never ever fished a lot for Ray, I had a few good Thornies off Cremmyl beach back in the day but never tried other than that. Wonwell is the south hams is meant to be a good spot for Small Eyed and Blonde ray but apparently you need to cast 300m! |

| I forgot to log my report the other day, Fished our side of the Mewstone and hit a huge shoal of Pollack all about two pounds in weight, we were catching full strings on feathers which though good sport I didn't take any because they aren't brilliant to eat unless they are a lot bigger IMO, but there were absolutely tons of them there, caught a few Mackerel then home, only fishing from 7 onwards in the evening as its too hot, too bright for fishing. |

Yeah and that's just to put your live eel in the right spot! Then you've gotta get the fuckers off the bottom! I've been down Trevose all weekend and tbf it would have been perfect for Small Eyeds. Flat as a pancake which is rare for the north coast,so you're not literally risking your life to climb down and unhook the buggers. I'll have to dig the rods out. |

| My mates were at Harlyn for the weekend, I couldn't face the crowds and cried off, the metal spike at Mother Ivies bay is a really good spot for all sorts as well. |

| Rock salmon is pretty good but only when it's fresh. When it's not fresh it's bloody awful! |

| Also Punchy, there's lots of general rules of thumb when it comes to shore fishing. Use your local knowledge if you have any. Make sure you're fishing the most productive part of the tide. Get your bait set correctly and put it out in the right areas, and at the best time of day (or night)The best bit of advice I was given, was to target your species. Buying some ragworm and throwing it out at a convenient spot in the hope of a bite ain't gonna bag you a specimen. Always decide what you're targeting, and use the killer bait for that species. Oh and most importantly, if you do find a top secret mark that fishes well, DON'T EVER TELL ANY OTHER FUCKER ABOUT IT !! |

What a cnut. Is he still alive even? I thought the Herald just regurgitated his 'top tips' on an annual basis. |
