The problem with soft baits like mussel is keeping it on the hook when you are going to cast. i will look here at a few solutions to this problem. Mussel as a hook bait Mussel in my opinion is a very underrated bait. It occurs naturally on almost every beach along the UK coast line and is a huge natural food source to many species, including birds, fish and humans! Some creatures have developed special adaptations to catch shelf fish such as mussel. Rasping teeth like our well known wrasse, knorr through the shell to get to the meaty interior. Birds have developed strong probing beaks and other shelf fish have developed ways to bore into mussel shells for a tasty snack. Fish are [&hellip
Just a very quick post…. Do any of you fancy a Kayak sea fishing trip to the Manacles?

Tony sent me this message regarding questions from Roger and Delboy about using peelers and coloring prawn. Thanks Tony for your time to conatct us! Tony said about Prawns and Peelers: crab cannot be induced to peel although put under the exact conditions to peel over a long period of time may induce them too, but i have tanked them, and fed them with pellets to try this with no success, as to colouring prawn, it is as easy as food colouring and i then vacuum pac them, normally red or green
I headed off to the beach today to grab some snaps of the storm that has hit the Cornish coastline. I visited Lands End, Sennan, St Just, St Ives, Godrevey, Praa sands and Porthleven to get some shots. The weather was bad and the light was useless most of the time! The combination of large spring tides and the on-shore gale that was blowing made this storm have a heavy impact on the county. Tree’s were blown over, towns were flooded by the sea and it’s not over yet. Remember though, when its safe to get fishing this storm should produce some great sea fishing, so its not all bad.  
I have been considering this for a while, a beginner’s sea fishing series, but I am unsure if the winter is the best time for it or not. Having reflected on this for a while and with Christmas dawning soon I have decided it’s a good time for you to ask for some fishing tackle as Christmas presents to get you started later in the year. I guess you are asking why winter is not a good time for beginners. Well, my reasons are as follows.  Its cold and you need expensive protective warm clothing The best fishing is often in rough weather and sea conditions. This requires heavy weights and good casting abilities You will likely loose more gear When the going gets tough, [&hellip
I realise this is a very basic level post about Sea fishing, however some readers here have asked for a basic explanation of what exactly it is. Its really kind of hard to define, but I have attempted to cover most of the bases. Image thanks: Emrys Catching fish The art or practice of catching wild fish in their natural environment. Rod and line fishing has gained in popularity over the years and is now one of the largest sports in the western world, with sea angling making up a large percentage of anglers. You are not restricted to the open ocean. Fishing in an estuary is also generally considered as part of the sport. In fact many popular species are found high up where [&hellip
Dexter Wedge I wrote about kayak fishing with a dexter wedge here and the species this lure will catch are endless. Bass, Cod, Pollock, Wrasse, Gurnard, Mackerel and Gar fish are all easily taken on this simple long casting lure. I use one on the bottom of feathers and it out fishes the feathers easily. Baited it is great for Cod! Widely acclaimed as one of the best artificial sea fishing baits around, suitable for so many fishing situations. Excellent lure for almost any predatory fish and whatever selection of lures you take with you on your trip, the Dexter Wedge surely has to be amongst them.Always casts well, giving you the edge in turbulent weather. It has a wobbling action when retrieved catching the [&hellip
I was fishing some rough Ground about a mile off Helzpehron cliffs, Nr. Poldhu, Cornwall on my Kayak scratching for anything that might be down there with a two up one down rig but, when I changed to gilling I started to get into Pollock and had a great days kayak fishing. THE MARK This location is one I found by chance about 2 months ago. I was on the Kayak looking for inshore Bass fishing marks when I saw some pot bouys about a mile out. I paddled in their general direction and when I got within about 10 yards I worked out my drift direction and speed. I choose a line that again would take my closest to the line of bouys and [&hellip
You should always carry a knife with you encase of entanglement in rope or fishing line while angling. An important tip I have been told is to carry a good quality knife with a serrated blade for cutting through things in water. For some reason a serrated edge is much better through rope when it underwater or wet
