bretty, is the terminator made by abu?, if so, i have used one, yhey are intended for the freshwater, but i have caught bass and even large mackeral on it. another good thing to try with the whole light gear thing is flat fish spoons. The attractor spoon i was using the other day(sonar, made by delta tackle) not only caught the flounder, but also a couple of bass. i was just slowy retrieveing it along the bottom. - great fun!

alot of people say thatyou need alot of hevy tacle for sea fishing, to cope with the waves, tide, and even big fish! and although i like all of the heavy boat fishing, i have recently discovered how much fun you can have with light tackle. i have a long, lighyt carp rod, with 4LB BS line, and also a rather light spinning outfit.this really gives you a decent fight with those bass of about 2/3LB. And as more and more fish arrive in the coming summer months, i hope to be catching thosse bigger fish on such tackle. is there anyone else out there who enjoys this mehod of fishing instead of just reeling in small fish with huge multipliers, and 20LB line. i strongly reccomend you to try fishing this way. This works especially well in esturies and small harbours such as pagham harbour. Find a decent spot, where no-one has fished(or very few) and you'll be suprised how many fish are there. I recently was fishing a spot in chichester harbour, where the bass kept on biting, and there wasn't any more than 5 minutes beween catches.

i use a carp rod for any type of sea fishing: piers, beach, esturies etc... and although people say for sea fishing you need heavy line, i use 4lb BS line. this is brilliant for good fights with bass, mackeral etc...

THANKS FOR ALL OF THE REPLYS, AT THE MOMENT IM FISHING AT A SMALL SPRING FEB FISHERY IN WEST SUSSEX CALLED HAMBROOK TROUT FISHERIES. BUT I INTENT TO MOVE ONTO NATURAL RIVERS WHEN I BECOME A BIT MORE ADVANCED, BECAUSE I WOULD PREFER TO CATCH THE NATURAL FISH IN THEIR NATURAL HABITAT. IM AFTER ANY INFOMATION PEOPLE CAN GIVE ME IN REGARDS TO FLY PATTERNS(NYMPH/WET FLYS) AND ANY DECENT RIVERS, CHEAP FISHERIES( AS IM ONLY 14, AND DON'T HAVE MUCH MONEY TO SPEND ON THE EXPENSIVE FISHERIES), AND ALSO ANY HELPFUL HINTS PEOPLE CAN GIVE ME. IVE BEEN SEA FISHING FOR 5 YEARS NOW, SO I'M NNOT TOTALLY NEW TO FISHING.

hello, ive just started fly fishing and i have all the gear except the flies. im 14 years old, and was wondering if anyone out there could suggest any suitable wet fly/nymph patterns cheers tom
