Guys, thinking of going over to Alderney in August for some serious bass fishing
  , however the airline wont take any rods over 5 ft. So what travel rods would you recommend for overall fishing?Also any one been there and sampled the fishing? I here it is top notch but what parts of the Island are best? -------------------- |

what sort of rod are you looking for anyway? I saw a lovely 3 piece greys sea spinning rod to cast up to 3oz, 11 foot long, for £90 in a glasgow fishing shop... I was so tempted to buy it myself as the finish and look of the rod was amazing, and it has a very good firm action too.

Chappers: It's with Rockhoppers from Brighton direct, for 120 odd squid return
Glasgowdan: Thta sort of rod would be good but ideally I'd like to take a 12 footer/3 piece (Bass rod) and a heavier 4 - 8 oz beach rod Spasor: I'll give Mark a bell and see if he can arrange tackle hire -------------------- |
