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.

Found one dead on the beach at Runswick this year, I'd never seen them round here previous to that.

Whilst fishing the Spring Festival I caught a cod that was full of pipe fish.

At a guess i wouldnt of thought they would be any good as a bottom bait especially in dirty water , lack of scent and all that , maybe a clear water thing and even then they would just look like a bloody bit of kelp , maybe the fish are gorging themselfes when the pipefish shoal up creating  alot of movement especially in clear water ........ :confused:
