If I was a kayak angler, I’m pretty sure I’d pick Sea Angler up the moment I saw it this month, as the cover boasts a competition prize well worth winning – a Tarpon kayak that would set you back £900!
As it is, the cover also has a photo of a nice shore-caught cod on, so I picked it up and read it immediately, anyway. That’s my kind of fish!

FEATURES
How To Cure Cod Fever!
Kent angler Shane Pullen has five great remedies for curing the annual cod twitch.
Fixed-Spool Stigma
Former world champion Chris Clark shoots from the hip when he talks about fixed-spool reels. Why, he asks, do anglers knock them when they are such great fishing tools?
Great Bait
Squids in! Sea Baits has moved into bigger and better premises. This can mean only one thing…even more quality bait for you to choose from.
Pop The Cork
Ireland’s Cork harbour is one of the fishing wonders of the world. Easy to get to, the fishing is exceptional and even if the weather lets you down, you can still fish.
SKILLS
Manage Your Bait
Good bait is quite expensive, but do you know how to look after it so it goes on the hook in tip-top condition?
Do You Get The Point?
Your hook is an essential bit of angling hardware, but are you stuck in a rut and using just one pattern, or even one size, for all fish and all baits? If so, that could be a big mistake.
More Cod At The Double
Always considered a match fishing tactic, double patting is now used by lots of sea anglers to ensure they always have fresh bait fishing right through the season.
