    Tripod orientation?

    I see a lot of fishers aligning their tripods at right angles to the sea. I have also seen a few rods and tripods go over with that set up. Not knowing any better I have always set my up tripod facing the sea thinking anything pulling is pulling against the strongest set up of the tripod. Are...

    Advice Tip tape?

    I have done a forum search and can't find much. Is it mighty bright or are there alternatives? Also looking to tape up the GT's and my Imax rods, x4 rods in all. How many sections to come down the rod first one or two? That leads on to how much will I need? Never tip taped a rod before...

    Advice Breakaway seat box conversion

    I have been using a sherpa to hoof the old beta box about but it was a bit of a faff at times, having to clip and unclip at either end of the session. I thought the seat box conversion would be the solution. Purchased this week and fitted yesterday morning. Box re-arranged and ready for last...

    Cloud or moon?

    The sea trout fisher in me likes a cloudy dark night for trying to catch sea trout, no moon, moon being bad. To be fair I have caught sea trout on moonlit nights. Do you have any preferences if you are out at night, do you think it has any influence on your catches either way the moon being out?

    South West Terally Bay

    Took the spinning gear down to Terally Bay tonight. It was a bit mucky and weedy but I was there so gave it a bash anyway. Three small pollock and this wee beastie. Only about a pound but more significantly my second solway bass. Took a white seeker like the first one last year.
