The Fishing Thread


The south shields lad who goes under Fishing in the UK on Ytube posted a new video yesterday looks like he had a decent mackerel fishing session at the leas /marsden at the weekend
 
Lads catching mackerel from the rocks near Marsden yesterday morning.
Fished again today on a north east clean beach looking to target early bass.

I think the water needs another degree or so. But I’m hearing tales of bass being caught already.

Used lures. The offshore wind was a good help on the dropping tide but it was too strong. Waders on following the tide down. Very small swell.

Tried metals, Sandeel imitations, a load of Savage Gear stuff the lot and got nowt.

Normally bait on them beaches mind near trow rocks iirc. Especially early on. Not many lads fish for them so I’d imagine the ones that have been caught either fishing for the mackerel or the bait on the bottom. Try a gulp ragworm or fresh rag.
We had a bit success around the black path area, while back now but we actually bait balled it early one morning.

We live a mile from a canal and over the years it has been populated by Zander.
Thinking in the next few weeks to have a go either live or dead baiting for them.

Small spinners will catch them.

You can eat these.
 
Tough fishing this week on the Hampshire Avon.
No Barbel and evidently like most Rivers the bastard Otters have destroyed it.
Spoke to the Local Tackle shop and they confirmed just this.

2 nice Chub.
Biggest 7lb, and a 6lb. A couple of smaller ones.

Fishing into darkness just heavenly. Tawny Owls and Bats.
