Plugging

In my opinion probably the best plug maker on the market – Rapala Plugs
Looking at the Rapala web site they write about the first Rapala ever made in the 1930’s, by a Finnish man who whittled a piece of cork down with a knife to imitate an injured minnow. He caught bags of fish on [...]

Storm lures are ever growing in popularity so I decided to have a look at their entire lure product range.
Storm say they get into the head of fish, meaning that they try and understand what makes fish react in the way they do to certain stimuli. With this knowledge in hand they then produce some [...]

Just a very quick post about today’s attempt at Kayak fishing.
The wind where I went at Poldhu was fresh off shore. I have bought a leash to attach myself to the yak as it travells quick in the wind and I do not want to become seperated from it.
I did about 2 hrs trolling, the [...]

I have added a new category for Sea fishing shore marks.
I have great knowledge of marks in Devon, Cornwall, The Isle of Man and Dorset so that’s where I will start. However when it comes to the rest of the country, I am starting to struggle.
Ramsgate, Dover, Sea Brook, Fleetwood, The Tyne, Whitby, Lowestoft are all areas [...]

There is a whole range of fishing kayaks now available on the market. You can fish from any kayak but some are better than others for the job in question. I will cover 3 of the makes and models here.
Ocean Kayak Prowler 13 Angling edition – This is possibly the most popular fishing kayak on [...]

I use a carp rod now for most of my sea fishing.
I like the sensitivity gained when using a lighter rod and weight. I tend to only use 2- 3 oz of lead and allow the tide to take the bait, moving it around the seabed allowing me to cover a large amount of [...]

Exmouth in Devon was the first place I ever went fishing to try and catch a Bass.
I was about 15 years old and my brother had just moved down from the Cotswolds to set up business in Honiton. We were both very keen anglers, having lived on the Isle of Man we had a good [...]

Almost any lure will catch Bass !
The modern Lures made by Rapala, Abu, Redgill which are designed to look like fish with colouration and movement fish very well indeed. In fact most modern style lure are very productive in the right conditions. Many lures when spinning simulate an injured fish which provides the Bass with [...]
