Polite Notice

This is a sea angling forum for the debate of all angling related topics, including: shore fishing, boat and kayak fishing. Here you will find pictures of anglers going sea fishing and catching fish. You will find angling related debate. Sometimes anglers will retain fish for the table. Whilst we respect the personnal choice of anglers to follow catch and release practices, this is not a conservation forum and devout conservationists unable to accept anglers sensibly retaining fish should seek out alternative forums. Anyone preaching catch and release or criticising other peoples reports will have their posts removed.

Harbour rag  - Creepers - Maddies, are a small lively type of ragworm found in harbours, head hooking 10 or so on a hook can fish well for flounders, i have seen them far out fish crab on certain venues, just dipping them in water so they stick together helps when casting so they dont fly off the hook..

Genrally used for smaller species Phil, mostly used for flounders in harbours and esturies were casting distance is not important..
