2025 doing something new / different

Decided that because I often visit the coast with the Motorhome that I may as well do a bit of fishing? My trout fishing gear isn't suitable and it's only seasonal anyway.
My something different will be using a 12 foot beachcaster and reel along with the sea fishing paraphanalia, sinkers, hooks line etc which I have just purhased fron eBay and await it's delivery. Having done a bit of sea fishing in the past with some old gear I inherited (I lived closer to the coast then) I remember that purchasing bait from fishing shops was expensive, but their are otther alternatives!

Mackeral, sardines, musssels & squid or even some ox liver are all suitable baits and can be bought cheaply at supermakets.


It's whiting season just now and they are one of the tastiest fish methinks so looking forward to 'tight lines'
