They are no gimic! Bought my WF8F last week and was extremely pleased with the results. Shoots really well and it will add a bit of f extra distance to a caster with ability. Only slight negative, was that if its cold it feels a bit to wirey, but once the sun gets up and you get a bit of heat on it, its is subtle enough. Besides, what line do you get an unconditional 5 year guarantee with???

no probs...not sure about the boat yet..like i said, it wont be till next year.

yeah electric tape is another good stop gap and a bit more permanent than grass

we used to catch on plastic white beads!! maybe not technically bait, but it was just a small 5mm white bead "forced" onto the hook!!

i said grass was a cheap alternative...it was a suggestion..try it yourself if you have an old rod that needs built up and you will see what i mean..its an old coarse fishing trick we used to use for pole fishing in matches. If your speed fishing on the pole the joints wear down quickly, and a quick easy repair job was to stick a blade of grass between the joints. You know what its like when its raining and your rod gets stuck together by suction from the crap on your hands and the rain, it does a similar effect when the grass gets caught between the joints and releases fluids. Between the fluid from the grass and the blade itself, its enough to hold a loose jiont in for a session.

thread highjacked...lol bloody boat anglers!! lol

yeah thats it....they never said they had moved ah well at least its still there..used to be ok for a bit of info if you were not sure what was happening!

yeah funny i used to see reports about torness for mullet on cold november mornings at the outflow.they say there is usually big shoals around there in the winter..but are you prepared to go there on the off chance? There used to be a forum that was all reports on torness but it got shut down. im thinking of starting a forum for scottish shore anglers only..no boats or english stuff!

light match rods, 4lb line with 14 hooks....bit of fun...bread on the hook, and groundbait them with mashed bread...swear by it

well we were catching this side throughout september last year, so im pretty hopefull for it! shame the lows are all am this week, so its not worth fishing in the evening i think this side. lucky im off next week tho, going to have a try for these mystery mullet that have been spotted

forget the sprays, good old candle wax! does the job everytime, or even a blade of grass!! May sound daft, but it works

yeah its pretty impressive the inshore fishing at the moment in the forth...im not even bothering going to different marks cause i have got everything i need on my doorstep

the picture on that site you found is completley wrong, thats a bass that has been sitting about for a while and started to get rigamourphis.

omg its a bass!!! lol pollack are not silver and dont have scales like that! check out this pic http://www.southshields-sanddancers.co.uk/...os/sea_bass.htm now check out the pollack http://www.samsardtoe.ac.uk/images/jpeg/pollack.jpg

its defo a bass, not a pollack...just leave them in the sea for the ******** or their menus will be a bit sparse! edit note: please avoid rude slang descriptions of racial groups. Newt [ 08. August 2005, 06:20 PM: Message edited by: Newt ]

good stuff 101! Thats the bit i was on about...i fished the lows on saturday and sunday evening and had fantastic couple of hours both evenings into darkness! I had a couple of pollack on saturday evening and had one last night..plus sh*t loads of mackerel! On the species thing...when we were fishing into dark on saturday night we could see these fish rising that were not mackies..but they would not take anything we put at them...now yesterday there was a guy down who seen the same thing on the morning low tide and he said they were small shoals of mullet!!! Now he is a reputable source..and it kind of makes sense, as he said he has seen them at a sewerage outflow pipe along by the cliffs before..so may have to have a shot at them! And there was a bass about 2lb caught by one of the "mackerel kings" yesterday. The boy i know who was fishing and seen the mullet in the moring low, was fishing floated fish peeler, and he had a great session. His highlight was a pollack at about 4lb. He had wrasse to and lots of mackerel and a small codling. I think for the wrasse there its best on the high, and fish it now more than ten yards out, thats how i see the majority of wrasse caught there....anyway good to know my tip put you onto some fish!

cheers boys...will have to see what happens (ie still waiting for the big payrise!) But im pretty hopeful for next year!

you can get plent just of the breakwater on rag and lug on the breakwater that i told you about!

lol im not even going to bother with that side of the water this summer i think! There are plenty of fish on my door step so no point travelling miles.

oh you cannot miss it

low tide...it just doesnt seem to fish at all on a high...might be something to do with the lows being in the last few hours of day at the moment tho?

im not going to mention it publicly, because not as many people fish this paticular park of this mark, the choose to fish of a pier...but...dig around my previous posts and you will find out which breakwater im going on about

its a westerly! fished last nite at the breakwater, and it was emmense! fished 1 hour and had 20 mackies and 1 pollack about 2lb. You should have seen it, the mackies were chasing the saithe all night, and we are talking massive shoals of mackies smashing into the saithe. Got most of them on the spinner, but it werent easy as it sounds. They shoal was constantly moving up and down the breakwater, so oyu had to be quick when they got infront of you. I have never seen mackies like this before from the shore, they were just smashing into everything...

or get a bottle of buckie throw at them!
