How do you fish the Isom worm? do you jig it like other soft plastics? any help appreciated as I am not a regular sea angler. thanks in advance.
Pete
I normally use a standard dropshot type rig baited with a size 6-10 Sabpolo hook baited with a section of Isome worm, I rarely use the whole worm. I haven't had much success at the Hoe with lrf lures, but that is probably because l haven't tried hard enough.
Berkley Gulp sandworms also work, as does the Gulp Bloodworm.

Vagabond the most unusual species we have had fishing at the Hoe was a Topknot and we have had a few Dragonets from the beach on the Folkestone side.

Yes of course it was a Black Goby, locally wrongly called a Blenny, I have never even seen the Butterfly or Montagu's Blenny which I understand are very attractive little fish.

n4lly I will have a couple of spare LRF rods with me so this will not be a problem.
Shanny, Tompot, and......... ?

Darn it! We are in Cuba until 14th October and I have no free weekends after that until November. I would have liked to have a go at this.

I feel for you Dave. I was brought up in Kent (Welling) and used to fish Dartford Lakes, Danson Park, Horton Kirby and Foots Cray Meadows when they were day ticket coarse fisheries and anyone catching a carp was immediately bestowed Angling God status. Lamorbey Park in Sidcup was a brilliant venue for rudd during the mid-seventies. All these places were a bike or bus ride away and capable of producing a mixed bag with the odd larger specimen. When I moan about having a bad day on the Kennet I just think how my fishing would have to change if I ever moved back to Kent, it would probably stop.
What about the Kingfisher club http://www.kapscoarse.co.uk/ . I used to be a member and they had lovely waters at Shorne & Hoo, I see their lakes are now predominantly carp but they have river venues too.

I am on the KAPS committee and I must point out that at the moment we have a two year waiting list to join the Society. That said our river venues are seriously underfished and even in the summer you can have an entire stretch to yourself.

I was down at the Hoe on Saturday and did well on Isome worm catching Pouting, small Ballan Wrasse and three species of Blenny. A pity the Pollack didn't show up.

Note: this does not refer to the effects of any post-fish-in curry.
There is a great all you can eat in Folkestone which does a fantastic Madras curry, if anyone fancies a post fish in scoff; it costs £9.50 on a Sunday look here for details: http://www.orientalbuffet.co.uk/

...and if you are desperate enough for bites so as to fish those ragworms on the bottom be aware it is very snaggy.
We were warned beforehand and used sacrificial weights - old nuts and bolts, scrap iron, lead strip wrapped around rig tube, anything !
Others were not prepared - three stages followed
1, Run out of weights
2. "Borrow" and run out of mates
3. Use whatever could be found lying around. A discarded coke can with pebbles in, or whatever - I can't quite remember what this character was using, but I think it was one of his socks filled with whatever he could find.
Preparing to cast
Oops ! I think his bale arm is still closed...
...but the fishing is extremely interesting - plenty of species. Norma and I intend to be there.
Dave
Surprisingly when I am LRFing there using very light leads (5-20g), I lose very few leads. I normally set up drop shot fashion with a US grip type swivel holding a short length of line to the lead and as I am using braid i just feel the line down to the bottom and bounce the lead off the snags. I rarely cast out just a straight drop down will put you on the fish up against the structure around the sea wall.

I propose to hold an AN LRF fish in at Samphire Hoe on Sunday 13th September;
Samphire Hoe is off the Dover to Folkestone carriageway of the A20. You access Samphire Hoe through a traffic light controlled tunnel in the cliff. Samphire Hoe postcode: CT17 9FL and Samphire Hoe is signposted.
There is ample parking available at a reasonable £2.00 per day and an angling day ticket is £6.00 for the day
High tide is at 12:10 so meeting around 8:00 The park opens at 07:00, but you need to get there.
Expected species will be Wrasse (Ballans, Goldsinny and Corkwing), Pollack< Pouting, Blennies and Mackerel. If you have drop-shot gear it will be ideal I will have a couple of rods spare. The best lure to use id the Isome or Power Bait worms also ragworm works if you are desperate for a bite.

The line on the web page states: "avoids the incessant barrage of tackle and tactics". as for the people we like this is just a pen profile of the contributing writers, nothing sinsiter in that.

In my case, I am a purchaser of antiques, but not the owner.

Well, Sue winning the antique lures at the Wingham fish-in auction; has started something. Yesterday at a flea market in Faversham she first finds a nice old brass and wood centre pin and picks it up for a fiver, and then picks up a whole and built cane JW Martin and Sons rod for twenty quid. After all she is now an antiques tackle collector and I have been reduced to an antique tackle payer!

I still fancy doing a sea fishing fish-in - maybe down at Lee On Solent, see if we can get some smoothhound. Spod rod should be sufficient for those who don't have beach gear.

I am up for an LRF session at Samphire Hoe, early September would suit me around the weekend of 12th 13th.

Very sad news indeed I have had a number of conoflex rods over the years, DC6, Flick tip and I still own a Scorpion Sport. I must admit I now use Century, when I need to use a conventional beachcaster.

I had my first session of the year, at Samphire Hoe yesterday, Nothing much on the plastics so I resorted to using drop shotted ragworm. This resulted in a mix of Pouting, juvenile Pollack and three species of Wrasse, Corkwing Ballan and Goldsinny. Nothing big but on 5-20g rods they put up a good scrap.

Fishing in Cuba with my best mate Richard a few years back. I cant remember what we caught it didn't matter; but what a joy to think two lads who grew up fishing a pit slack in Newcastle would end up there.

To me they are all blues rock rather than pure blues exponents, for that look at the likes of Keb Mo, Ben Andrews, Little Toby Walker and Gary Clark Jr.
