Beach shelter or brolly?

Evening folks

I am new on here and just starting up sea fishing.
Been looking around the internet at tackle and seen a lot of beach shelters and umbrellas.

Any recommendations would be much appreciated.

Cheers

I will look at the replies with interest as well as I can’t see the point in standing out in the elements when you can at least get out of the wind and rain.

Personally I will probably opt for a beach shelter but which one is another matter

I would say shelter… easy to set up and use. What type of locations will you be fishing?

I haven't got either so can't really help. If the weather is bad, with health isssues, I just go fishing from my armchair on Youtube! Plus, I struggle most of the time to cart my gear around, a beach shelter would just be another large item to carry.

Thanks JR! Very nice offer! With a 4 litre Jeep and the price of fuel, plus the travelling time, anywhere near Chisel is a bit off my plans!

On the move a lot or walking a long way, use a brolly.
Pitching up camp, use a shelter.

I use both.
The brolly is a tf gear one and the shelter is a genuine beach buddy.

I've tried cheap shelters and they really are poor quality compared to the like of a beach buddy or Ian gold's igloo.

Sell the Jeep and get a Micra…… at least you could come fishing with the TSF village idiot

I’ve used both, but prefer the stability of a beach buddy, I’ve had brollies fold inside out in gusty winds. You can bury the flaps of the beach buddy in with shingle and get a pretty solid shelter. A brolly has its place, on a beach with a distance between high/low water marks, where you have to keep moving up and down with the tide or having to groin hop (changing locations regularly), you can bury the back of the brolly in shingle. I found brollies easier to transport as they will fit in a decent hold-all, my buddy had a separate bag.

NE coast.
Anywhere between Hull and Whitby.
Just starting up, coming from coarse fishing background.
A brolly is great on a lake, but not sure one would survive a winter storm on the beach!

If you have sand and pepples you are laughing and get one.
I take might every session on Chesil

Haha! Need the Jeep (or a big 4x4) to tow my trailer. We bought the trailer in Dorset years ago & towed it home with my Sierra. Very risky business, so I don't think a Micra would do the job!

 

[Live in hope]

Sure you didn’t pick the cart up with your horse that you called sierra

 

[Live in hope]

Back in topic I have me shelter for my beach and south coast marks all bar a couple of places up the channel good waterproofs. Even moving a shelter ain’t to bad once your used to it just lift n shift and hope if it’s a tad breezy you don’t do a Mary poppins up the beach

 

[fishing hobbit]

I use a shelter

 

[Wolf]

I use my brolly more than my shelter

Just how big is your trailer.? When I was a wee lad my old man used to tow a 21ft Monza caravan behind a 1750cc Austin Maxi.
