Thread: Fishing tomorrow!

You can take the boat as well as the net that is.

Just using the smallest jig heads and soft baits I could find in the local shops ( designed for trout I think)
The idea definitely has merit tho just need to get some smaller versions of those fly type things the Americans use for "fluke" fishing I recon and clear enough water for them to see them in.
If Im not gonna catch enough to feed the neighborhood it needs to be fun to warrent the effort.

Cool. In the US, they use soft baits or small bucktails bounced off the bottom. In the UK, it's bait fishing with marine worms. Either way, I think light, sensitive gear with small hooks is the way to go.

Bucktails! Yea thats the word.
Them but smaller would be the go I recon, I was trying the softbaits with 8p braid and 10p fluorocarbon which is plenty light to be dragging over cockels, Pacific Oysters,engine blocks, wheels etc I recon
As I said I was getting hits but our flounder have very small mouths compared to their Fluke so smaller terminal tackle required I think.

I think any netting is shit so I am happy for the flounder

Flipper and his mates had gone today but managed to find a reef with a few reasonable cod.

Kids loved it !!

Should be tasty

I’m hearing ya .
Over the last 30 years I’m still a fan of the Cast iron skillet/pan on the beach over a driftwood fire with Butter , then gently ensconced in White bread with even more Butter and more Salt than the Dead Sea

Bread crumbs are good too.

I was out there yesterday, idiot on a jetski

It was the worst fishing in the 5 years that I've fished the area.

One small snapper, one annoyingly undersize kingfish, one tiny scorpion fish and two undersize blue cod. Also had an almighty hook-up on a jig. Bit off two assist hooks tied to heavy duty kevlar cord. Too much grunt for a barracouta, I'm guessing mako.
