SEA FISHING
For anyone unfamiliar with the site always check the FRESHWATER, SALTWATER and TACK-TICS pages. The Saltwater page now extends back as a record of over several years of (mostly) sea fishing and may be a useful guide as to when to fish. The Freshwater stuff is also up to date now. I keep adding to both. These pages are effectively my diary and the latest will usually be about fishing in the previous day or two. As you see I also add the odd piece from my friends and correspondents if I've not been doing much. The Tactics pages which are chiefly 'how I do it' plus a bit of science are also updated regularly and (I think) worth a read (the earlier ones are mostly tackle and 'how to do it' stuff).
A bite on bait - at last!
Martyn and I have been really persistent with the free-lined fish baits this season and mostly it has been a waste of time. Well, a few evenings back it actually paid off. Unlike most of our recent trips which have produced only pollack and small congers; my pal actually had a proper bite which ran with the bait and was nicely hooked on the circle hook. It was no monster but at least it was a bass on bait. Not a bad way to finish the year and enough to encourage me to have another go next season.
