Buch 145 Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 Ive got a spare week with nothing to do so im thinking i might try abit of fishing for mackrel. I have NOTHING i have no idea what im doing all i know is what i would like to do. I live quite near southport so i wa thinking i would try beach casting there, is that feasable? Or do i have to go somewere like blackpool ad cast off the pier there? I dont mind spending abit of money because ive wanted to go for abit but can any one point me in the right direction for kit i need and any advise on gear. Also do i need a rod license or anything? And finaly possably the daftest question, is there a season? As in can you fish all year round and if you can can you catch stuff al year round? Ta for your help. Quote Link to post

tomnobes 1 Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 try taking a look at world sea fishing forum they will point you in the right direction of local tide fishing times as in best time to fish on the push or drop and some good local fishing marks normally inly the well know ones as some people like to keep some marks a secret. Fishing for markel is that simple not much tackle required and you don't need to spend a fortune as with anything you can pretty much spend as little or as much as you like. Try your local tackle shop most a more than happy to talk (for hours some times) enjoy your fishing 1 Quote Link to post

gonetoearth 5,144 Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 Ok ta mate. Yer southport would be a trek to the sea i thoght id seen people at formby and that casting off the beach there but your right i might have a look at rhyl they have banned beach casting at formby , although no one takes any notice , there is a boat fishing club at anisdale just behind pontins,there are several boats run fishing charters out of liverpool marina walk in and check out notice board, beach casting is a bit tricky at first casting set up etc go down to the coat gaurd station at crosby at high tide sit and watch the lads setting up most will pass on info etc , good little tackle shop in litherland facing the snooker club , he will point you in the right direction , good luck Quote Link to post

You want a spinning rod of decent length for spinning from the beach as opposed to a beach caster. Take it from me, after a half hour of spinning with a beach caster & a heavy weight you'll know all about it! I've got a 10ft spinning rod and I can chuck a set of feathers out near as damn it as far as I can the beach caster. For me the beauty of this set up is that it can be doubled up as a bass rod with slightly different gear on it. as has been suggested, the lads over on worldseafishing.com are the boys when it comes to sea fishing, just google it and join the forum. Tight lines! Quote Link to post
