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.

Cant agree more with that dav, two summers ago i was getting loads them to well over 1 1/2lb but last summer i only got half a dozen of that size and i probably caught more fish last summer than the seasons before. They were just a lot smaller

For some reason dave , back then there wasnt as many seals bothered with the gare unlike now , why i dont know , the only thing i can think of that has caused the seals population to boom is the barrage , and the fact that they can gorge themselfes on salmon etc which must increase there strength and numbers .......not really sure tho ......
