That's all you need mate, wack a couple of feathers on it and you're set.

 

All this fancy fishing gear is designed to catch fishermen and not fish

You can get shakespear rod n reel for £30, tenner on weights n feathers or those hokkai type lures job done.

Just make sure rod can handle decent size weight 6oz plus.

Was out on saturday and could see a couple of guys getting them on a boat. My casting from the rocks was falling short of the shoal by a hundred yards. Going to be higher tides this week so hopefully it should bring them in closer to shore.

Is there a way of finding out where they are or do you just cast and hope for the best

[rabbit demon 302]

I was trying to get into the same shoal as the guys on the boat but fry bubbling on top of the water is a good indication and sometimes gulls catching wee fish, cast in the general direction and the mackeral and sea trout wont be far behind them. Most of the time it is cast and hope for the best. Fishing as the tide is coming is the best time for them I find. Iv never caught a mackeral at low tide from the shore.
