no resan why not i guess ,just wandering with these two sharks is it possible to target the smaller ones (or avoid the 400lb ers)

If you hook a big one you could always earn some brownie points and get the shopping in before paddling back from france (assuming that's the direction you get dragged.) It would be one hell of a rush though!!

 

Forgetting the blues etc what if you hook up with one of our new friendly great whites?

[Mark Crame]

Be careful when collecting Crayfish from your river there mate, you need a licence to do that from the Environment Agency if you are in what they deem to be a "go" area (i.e one with more signals than natives). If you are in a no go area, you are only aloud to remove them for scientific purposes

 

But they are damn tasty!

 

 

We have neither - our localeis abundant in Long Clawed Turkish. You need a licence to set traps for them but should they come up on a deadbait - as happens loads - then you're fie. Not sure where hand-gathering stands but that is something we have done.

done the tope on the bream rig myself (a mate landed one useing a barbel rod with a quiver tip!!!)

i wandered if the smaller sharks maybe hung out in different areas ,i know with the tope by me it seems they come in packs of similar sizes

My dad a long time ago was feathering up mackies, on my uncles boat, off Dale W.Wales, when a suspected tope hit one of the mackies. I remeber seeing that rod slam down, and I heard me old man swear for the first time, funny what you remember

For me A good sized Tope, Conger, cod over 10lb, Bass anysize is a good one, a decent Pollack and a Bluey would be a bounus.

 

To see and hopefully assist in landing a Tope on the fly and same with a Blue conventional tackle or otherwise, just to see one on a yak would be great.

 

As for a Porgy I aint interested myself but would take my hat off to anyone who gets one.
