Have to agree Kev, this forum is the bees knees in my opinion. All our members know what they are talking about, well almost all.

I Have to say Kev, just got round to opening the box of Wishbones i received yesterday, and the quality is superb as always mate.

I have had a couple of members here ask for packs of pop up rigs (there were only part of my Chesil session pack).

As a result I have added a 5 and a 10 pack to the Seaswest Shop. Ideal now that the spider crabs have started their relentless crawl into shallower water...

If you go to Abbo Tackle you could buy 10 whole small pop up beads for a little less than the price of five whole rigs from yourself.

Tongue in cheek but a sore point with me last year as he was basically charging £5 for five small beads, still can’t believe it lol

When the summer silly season is on the coast anglers will pay anything to get some tackle.... problem is that a single pop up bead has zero effect on lifting a bait off the bottom, the only practical ways are a necklace of beads and expensive or use foam cylinders and a pop of bead as a sight attractor with the bait.

Yep I realise he was trying to cash in on the pop up craze and even £2.50 I could have lived with, but double that was a bit steep!

I did wonder how much those smaller beads would actually lift anything.

After having to say something (politely, but I couldn’t not say something!) I left beadless but on the beach I sliced up an old float and used inch long segments from that.

Presumably that was enough to lift the small baits but very little was caught by me or anyone else that day

No worries bud. Good luck for the Conger hunt, and mind how you go.

morning Ian I fished hard for 7.5 hours and landed 6 conger all small (best about 6lb) 2 thornbacks 4 - 5lb each and 5 doggies. I will post up a report once I have some coffee and get the old brain cells working at 100%

Out again on the Bristol Channel yesterday, and at a renowned know snag pit full of braided line snags from anglers that have not worked out how to use a rotten bottom link ... Sighs.....

I fished slightly to the right of the worst of it and after casting out a plain 5oz lead and reeling in found some clear ground. For a change it was not raining and dare I tempt fate by saying the sun came out! (that will bugger it and we will have rain now by the Bank Holiday/Coronation weekend).

Baits were whole squid and sections of herring. I fished hard for 7.5 hours, at first on the boulders, then on the cliff. Surprisingly my soon to be 67 year old legs are fine this morning, so the long yomp and constant scrambling about must be doing me some good.

I landed 6 conger all small (best about 6lb) 2 thornbacks 4 - 5lb each and 5 doggies. 20 years ago you would never see a dogfish here, I can only assume that now in conditions where salinity levels are high in the Channel, Douglas the Doggie finds the environment to it's liking. I did lose one heaviest fish that screamed off, pulled about for about 30 seconds and let go of the bait - it could have been anything, even a mermaid. .. Well maybe not as I imagine being Somerset they are all in the nearest chippy scoffing their faces....

Rigs used were again my rough ground rigs, link to my eBay shop enclosed. The only difference is that I use lead lifts as well to get that extra movement from the snags on reeling in.
