Easy?

 

Live prawn Nicked just behind the head with a fine wire hook ditto for sand eel, I dont lip hook sand eel as they seem to die within minutes, Both clear water methods better suited to the south west,and west, I would scratch for small pout and then live bait them for a big bass!!

Someone once said to me "Dont worry It could be worse." So I didn't, and It was!

I made a vow today, to never again argue with an Idiot they have more expieriance at it than I so I always seem to lose!

Best way I've found to hook live sandeel is to pass the hook through the mouth, then gently out of the gills, then nick it in the belly about 1/3 of the way down. Drifting the Shambles for bass, sandeel hooked this way will last at least two drifts, if there are no takes. Using my Shimano Inner Guide rod and 14lb braid, I can feel the sandeel wriggling and can tell when a take is imminent because it will go absolutely mental.Just remember not to hit the first take, a bass will hit a sandeel first to stun it, before coming back to swallow it. Too many people strike on the first take and pull the bait away from the fish

I always hook live prawn and shrimp through the tail, as this keeps them alive a lot longer and seems to ensure a hook up on every strike.

 

Prawn and shrimp on a flowing trace about 3ft long.

From a structure I would use the same rig for sandeels, but from a boat, lengthen the trace up to 5 ft. long.

 

Small sandeels are just hooked through the lip, but larger ones have the hook passed through the lip and then lightly nicked under the skin, about half way along the back of the eel.

I top lip hook sandeels and don't really have a problem keeping them alive. If they servive a drift i keep them in a bucket of water for the next drift. Anyone like using live mackerel over the wrecks..

Free to choose apart from the ones where the trust poked their nose in. Common eel. tope. Bass and sea bream. All restricted.


New for 2016 TAT are the main instigators for the demise of the u k bass charter boat industry, where they went screaming off to parliament and for the first time assisting so called angling gurus set up bass take bans with the e u using rubbish exaggerated info collected by ices from anglers, they must be very proud.

Upgrade, the door has been closed with regards to anglers being linked to the e u superstate and the failed c f p. So TAT will no longer need to pay monies to the EAA anymore as that org is no longer relevant to the u k . Goodbye to the europeon anglers alliance and pathetic restrictions from the e u.

Angling is better than politics, ban politics from angling.

Consumer of bass. where is the evidence that the u k bass stock need angling trust protection. Why won't you work with your peers instead of castigating them. They have the answer.

Recipie's for mullet stew more than welcomed.

Angling sanitation trust and kent and sussex sea anglers org delete's and blocks rsa's alternative opinion on their face book site. Although they claim to rep all.

new for 2014. where is the evidence that the south coast bream stock need the angling trust? Your campaign has no evidence. Why won't you work with your peers, the inshore under tens? As opposed to alienating them? Angling trust failed big time re bait digging, even fish legal attempted to intervene and failed, all for what, nothing.

Looks like the sea angling reps have been coerced by the ifca's to compose sea angling strategy's that the ifca's at some stage will look at drafting into legislation to manage the rsa, because they like wasting tax payers money. That's without asking the rsa btw. You know who you are..

Drifted live mackies over the table top Nr the Nab towers for bass on a big spring, Lumpy drift but Pukka fishing.
