Seen it all this evening!!!!

[CoarseanglerSteve]

Walked along the prom this evening (the Gynn Wall in Blackpool), a few hours before hw, walking the dogs and meeting daughter as its father's day.

Came across a guy fishing, with 3 carp rods and bait runners, on a carp style rod pod, with the tips just poking over the wall, complete with bite alarms and bobbins!!!

I so wanted to tell him there aren't any carp in there mate ! I didn't stay long enough to see if he was using a boilie, but he did have on carp style bombs and short hook lengths!!

Species hunting/scratching/scraping the barrel? It's a sad fact that many 'anglers' only know setting traps with round baits. Oh the gynn wall!

 

[ouchthathurt]

Well that’s the bite alarms screwed… salt will corrode those right up! I wouldn’t have me nevilles anywhere near the sea! ??

Did he come out of his bivvy ?

You know what!

I fished the other evening for 3hrs with two rods and wished i had some bells.

My legs were aching next day, and i put it down to standing looking for bite when f the bells were ringing i knew something was happening

The only bite alarm I've ever had is called Norman - he's an old wooden clothes peg with a spring & a shiny bell! ??

Probably some numpty carp “ angler” who decided to show the salt lads how to do it.
He wont last long , first spot of rain or breath of wind he will scuttle off .

Mate of mine used his carp gear etc four rods bells etc, trying to hair rig lugworm etc etc. I've pushed him into a simple running ledger,he catches now. Carp rods and reels are good but fancy rigs aren't! Bolt rigs are a running ledger but they don't run lol

Sadly I have seen the same at princesparade Hythe, bivvies included. All set up below the high tide line!!

Swine probably caught a 20lb bass too on the ebb...

 

[Action Man]

Was he dressed in full camo, looking like he is ready to go to battle with a pond pig?

 

[Wolf]

Would like to have seen his face trying to land a decent bass or a smooth hound

Sure they don't fight as hard as a twenty pound carp.

Carp rods would be more than up to the task, and from what I've read a lot of the carp lads are loading their reels with 30lb braid.
