  1. If you're spooling the line on yourself you could try running the line through the middle of the yellow pages or something similar. This should help to keep the line under a decent tension. Cheers 101
  2. Almost there now. Wedding on Saturday and then heading out there on Sunday. I must admit that re-reading this post has me looking forward to it. I'm taking my light spinning gear and a selection of spinners, surface plugs, hooks, floats etc. Not sure how much fishing I'll manage but will get out once or twice at least. She'll be glad to get the peace and quiet I'll post a report when I get back. Cheers 101
  3. I take it the bass will take lures - wedges and the like? And the mullet bread? Really starting to look forward to this now. Good to hear that Corsica is a nice place - it certainly looks it from the photos I've seen and I've yet to hear a bad word said about it! Thanks for the replies folks. 101
  4. Thanks for the info mate Had a quick look at some of the sights and it's certainly whet my appetite. I'm not sure exactly how much fishing I'll get done as it's my honeymoon but I have no doubt that she'll be quite content to sit and read in the sun while I go off fishing! Truth be told she'll be glad to get rid of me for a few hours! I'm still not sure what gear I'll be able to take but it'll probably be a fly rod and a spinning outfit. I have no idea what to use for bait off the shore or what lures to take but I'll enjoy experimenting. We are hiring a car so hopefully we'll be able to get to some of the places you mentioned. We've heard great things about Corsica and your post has got me looking forward to this now! Cheers 101

    Corsica?

    Hi Folks, I've recently booked a holiday to Corsica in July and was wondering if anyone knew much about the shore fishing potential. We're staying in Sant'Antonino near Calvi. I'd be interested in any information anyone might have. Cheers 101

    SPINNING

    Have a look at the Shimano Exage travel range mate. They pack down small and come with a hard travel tube. I have a 7ft telescopic version and a 9ft multi section rod which I use when travelling. They both fit into my suitcase. I've been impressed with both rods. 101
  7. Cheers for the info mate - it's appreciated. Had a wee go tonight but I think the mackie have disappeared as I got none on this rig or feathers. I did get a nice codling and a few coalfish so it wasn't a wasted trip! Thanks again 101
  8. So at a guess would I have the hook length hanging about 3 ft below the lead with the cork on the hook length. Or Could I set it up with a sliding lead and a stop knot so that the hook length is shorter and easier to cast? Or Am I way of course here?
  9. Any chance you could describe this in a bit more detail mate as it sounds like just what I'm looking for! Never had much sucesss ledgering for mackerel but this sounds ideal. I'm just trying to picture this rig in my head
  10. Already posted this on another forum but I thought I'd add my comments here too. Just wanted to pass on my thanks to Ian and others who have worked tirelessly to get RSA in Scotland to this point. When asked earlier about any issues people wanted to raise I mentioned a local issue, which although on a small scale compared to many of the issues raised, is something that concerns me. I have to say that I'm very pleased to see that the point was not only taken onboard but included in the report. I think this proves the benefits that this whole process can have for every recreational angler in Scotland Keep up the good work and as others have already said - If there's anything I can do....... Cheers 101
  11. Not sure about Cockenzie but Granton is fishing OK just now so I'd expect Cockenzie to be similar. Most people mackerel fishing round here will be using feathers (or similar rigs) which are very effective. To be honest, if you really want to get the maximum fun from catching mackerel, try using a light spinning rod with a spinner - something like a Dexter wedge or abu koster. You'll soon find that mackerel can give a good account of themselves on light gear Good luck
  12. Plenty of time yet mate and the best is probably to come. Last year they were still around well into September and there were even some being caught in October (although mainly the odd single). I even saw one caught at Scateraw Harbour in November! HTH
  13. Good to know Ian. A great deal of thanks to all those fighting on behalf of RSA in Scotland
  14. Not really sure if it's on a big enough scale or not but the annual nonsense that goes on at Torness needs addressed. I have no doubt that that area could be a great Bass fishing area if it was left alone and didn't suffer from idiots every year bagging and selling on every juvenile Bass that they catch. In the grand scheme of things it might not be a top priority but it's a real shame that an area which, if left alone, could produce some excellent sport is ruined each and every year by idiots keeping undersize fish and the illegal netting which is alleged takes place. This has been reported time and time again (only occasionally do the fisheries guys turn up) and yet the problem still exists. I've met enough people there to know that they are willing to travel good distances to catch Bass. Maybe if they were protected the sport would really be something? Again this is a problem that I get frequently annoyed by but I'm not sure if it merits further action or not? Good to have the opportunity to raise the issue anyway
