forgive my ignorance but what is an anchor trolley?

you can use any size dude, just remove the backbone to create a flapper, even a 3lb bass will quite happily take a whole mackerel. the best bait i used is live sand ell, with just a 1oz lead to take it down but it may be hard to keep them alive with the limited space on a kayak. insert the knife just before the dorsal fin either side of the back bone, remove it and hoook it up with a set of 6o's pennel rig.

you glue them inside the hull, not in the water?

do you know a good online chandlers as our local one really does not cater for kayaks.

thank you for your concerns, but i am well aware of the tidal conditions and fast currents in this area, i used to crew for dave clements a long time ago on the silver fox and have a skippers licence myself, i'm just new to fishing from a kayak. the tides are great around here for this sport as a 5knot current takes you a good distance. i launched from larkstone beach yesterday 1 hour before bottom so i'd get a little of the outgoing tide and experience paddling against the current seems the tides are running fairly fast atm because of building springs. i managed to get to bull point light house in a little over 1 1/2 hours taking it easy exploring all the bays. i caught a bass going past the tunnels over the vast amount of gully's there but only the one fist so far. i will go out from shell beach soon and jig over the pinicales just off mort point but not toooooo close to the races. i paddled out about 1000 yards and caught the current back to ilfracombe and got back in under an hour, they i went around hillsbourougher exploring the fishing potential there and landed on hele before going back to larkstone. this fishing potential is awsome in this area especially spinning/plugging/trolling for bass and jigging for pollock ect. personally i wouldn't like to try targeting the ells, rays or tope as i dont fancy being dragged out to lundy! picture overlooking larkstone beach with the pier in the distance, you cant really see the beach but its a good spot to launch with all day parking for £2.80 right from where the pic is taken. and ramps down to the beach: btw did you know we have leading lights in ilfracombe now?

hi i live in north devon (ilfracombe) and in the summer there is a huge amount of inshore hot spots. my favourite is going from barricane beach in woolacombe and heading over to mort ho point targeting big bass that are plenty full from may to september good pollock over the pinnacles that lie 100yards from shore. there is the usual supply of bubbling mackeral but these are more of an annoyance. there is a fairly steep path to barricane as you can see but its managable! barricane mort ho

what do you use as a power source as none of these fish finders are battery (4xaa) operated are they?

how do you connect the sensors to your boat?

thank you guys.

would that be heavy enough to hold in the bristol channel? where is a good place to purchase it from? btw how much and what grade/weight chain would you use and what length?

hello all. i have purchased myself a new kayak an islander, strike http://www.islandersitontops.com/strike.htm and have started to fish from it looking for friendly community to share stories and tips with. i live in Ilfracombe, north devon, uk and have many suitable launch points within 10 miles of my location with a wide range of fish to target. i have fished from the shore for over 20 years and have only now plucked up the courage to take to see!
