This is excellent. http://worldseafishing.com/forums/

It is a generalisation and in a number of cases a 12ft lb is simply not up to the job...allowing for the margin of error to ensure a clean kill. Lets not get into a debate, but penetrating the wing feathers on a Pheasant is all but impossible with a 12ft lb, as with a Canada, the reasons can go on, even though we all know every air gunner only ever takes head shots!! ....and neck shots.

Hi Edgar, it mentions on the BASC site they are not suitable quarry for air rifles, is this a shotgun elitism thing or am I chattin' ecrementoso?

Hi Sean, I have no interest in shooting these birds, I'm just curious as to the reason, I've only ever shot rats and one Magpie, well maybe two maggies, don't they move too?

Why are these not suitable quarry for air rifles?

Lovely action, I could eat it meself.

I've fished it a long time back, Cogden and West Bexington, no different from most places as far as I'm concerned, wasn't snaggy where we fished yer just gotta watch out on windy conditions as it can take the pebbles from underneath yer rather quickly. We had a good fire going on the beach from the plentiful flotsam. Apart from what we brought we also cooked a nice bass we caught, lovely.

PM sent Mr Fish.

With respect Johnny, they live there, we visit for a week or two and, like me, most are lucky to get a few hours fishing.

There's no way I'd pay out for a sea licence in Spain I've fished there many a time no problem. Considering the size of the fish they have a cheek, since you have enlightened us I'll be giving the whole of Spain a miss for our future holidays. Allelujahhhh Greece. The more I think of this the angrier I feel, we Brits spend billions over there on holiday and they want a licence from us? FFS!

Plenty of mullet in the harbours, also bream but most are small, good fun tho' on a light rod, bait? bread and use the small limpets that are attached to the harbour walls and rocks, worked for me. Never done anything with spinners. I use a Shakespeare four piece travel rod, brilliant, take it with me everywhere, even when out on me bike.

My advice is to buy a rod like the John Wilson Avon Quiver among my rods, this is one of the most used. It can be a float rod or a quiver, excellent all rounder. One I caught using it on the Dane.

I've never fished lower than Spurn Point but here's a link to maybe some decent advice. http://www.sea-fishing.org/ftopicp-42901.html

Lovely fish, they don't half bolt when yer hook them....re yer photos, a poor attempt with the square face masks, you'll never get in the KKK wearing them.
