tilfertilfer 706 Posted July 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 correct malt if theres sand and kelp in the bays with deep water behind you should catch on both tides if the fish are around but you wont no till you try lol,when i was young i did all the foot work for years up and down the cliffs and i have had some great memeorys as well as fish ,but look at me now am f****d 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I find the silver foil type feathers the most effective.. Just chuck them out on the spinning rod and reel them back in.. I fish off rocks and piers mostly for them.

I`ve been a dozen or so times that's all not counting the week when I went every night and could only cast out 8ft ---I love it but I don't catch a lot Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NEWKID 27,372 Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 As the lads have said Stig, find a bit of deepish water off of rocks or a pier and silver foil type feathers are hard to beat.. Jerk the rod as you retrieve, ( sweep the rod back them wind up the slack)... Good luck mate, not going Bantham are you mate??? Lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
