sea fishing

[redpaj]

just love sea fishing going to the coast in the middle of winter with the temperature at -10 trying to hook into a large cod, and then in the summer with a tshirt on and a 10` rod spinning for a bass around the rough coast line or in the estuaries of wales just cant be beaten

Used to do a bit in my 'yoof' well you would, living on an Island. I had a resurgence of interest in my mid thirties, bought all new gear - about £300 worth. went out with my brother one cold January evening. Sat on a freezing cold pier for 4 hours and caught jack sh*t. HE caught a 18lb cod. Sold my gear the following week.

I got bored with all the gfroundbaiting required   

Better to get a speargun and get in amongst em


Tho not in this climate

guys guys never say die (unless its of hypothermia in the winter while cod fishing ) sea fishing is one of the best ways to get away for a few hours and i guarantee the wife wont want to come with you, she wont want to smell of all the old fish and worm bait that you use

Caught a 7 lb bass when I was in Ireland. plus a couple of 3 lb-ers too.  Yummy

had a 4:5lbs bass last summer on the plug at one of our local estuaries down here, wrapped it in foil with some garlic butter inside, cooked slowley for 90mins on low heat in oven some baby new potatoes and some garden peas served with the bass and topped it off with some fresh crusty bread and a bottle of beer nice

Mine were all caught with ragworm on a ledger in the River Barrow estuary about 10 miles up from the open sea in S.E. Ireland
Great sporting fish to catch as well.

Called salmon bass by the locals in Ireland.

thats one of my aims in life to go to ireland and fish the coast and the large easturies over there all i got to sort out is a few mates to go over ther with me

Well just outside that particular estuary last month saw two trawlers go down. one with 5 men lost and the other 2 men lost

They call that area the graveyard of a 1000 ships.

  cant do boat fishing i throw up something terrible once spent 12hrs on a trip out of cardiff throwing up never even got my line wet that was my last ever boat trip

Its well rugged off the rocks down that way.
By "The Hook" lighthouse.. Its my favourite place in the whole world.

Fishing for - conger, wrasse, mackerel off a light tackle, bass, pollack, mullet, dogs

I even saw a basking shark when I was a kid over there must have been 20 feet long. Scary when in a boat the same size as it.

I can sympathise with you on that one. I went out from Brid once, 10 hour trip, started my own ground-baiting before we even got out harbour.  ....NEVER AGAIN!
