    Fished the point at Dungeness today. 8,45am to 2,30pm. High water at 11ish Lots and lots of weed making keeping a bait in the water for more than 5 minutes impossible. Not that you needed to. Fished 3 hook clipped rigs, and I doubt that more than a couple of times I didn't have a triple shot of...

    Advice Penn fathom Mag 2

    Ok, this is probably a really dumb question, but.... What direction of the mag control increases or decreases the braking effect? Clockwise says more and anticlockwise says less. But, is that less or more breaking or less or more spool speed? Sorry to be so dumb but I only use nobby or slidy...

    West Coast Help finding a venue 🤫

    Hello. One is after some information. If I was to venture to Scotland (I've put west coast as you have to use a prefix 🙄)instead of Norway for a week's fishing, where would you recommend? As Jax would be joining me, easy access marks would be preferable and target species would be cod, haddock...

    Advice Screw in rod guide.

    Hi everybody! I've gone all retro. Does anyone know where I can get a screw in butt guide for a Brent 12ft surf caster? Thread size looks like m4 but I'm guessing it will be an imperial equivalent. Thank you 👍

    South East I don't believe it.

    Last week Darren and I decided to have a try for a sole at a local shallow low water mark. This was after an unsuccessful attempt at galloways the previous weekend where we were attacked by killer whiting. Well, we failed. The whiting were there in their millions. To prove a point, I waded 5...
