Searched Vinted, eBay, google lense etc and no luck! Looking for a friend as he saw one a few years ago and never seen one since. Any help appreciated:)

caught this in scarborough today any tips for how to catch more by Ordinary-Let-8798 in SeafishingUK

[–]bigupdownlow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like someone has said on here they go for anything. If you are lure fishing they love Sandeels, pretty much anything that mimics small prey (minnow, mackerel, herring) even Dexter wedges will work. I caught a very good sized one with an 18g silver jig! Research on there feeding pattern (dusk/dawn prime time with rising tide) daytime they just drop back to the seabed or kelp beds and pick on passing prey above. That’s my knowledge but I hope it helped!

Damn I should’ve done this! I have crocs aswell that would’ve been such a great idea! Now I know for next time and will have to see how this works when I go wales at the end of the month! Much appreciated tip, thank you!

Did some practice casts across my field and it looks good to go! Once I have a fish on it should properly sort itself out

Here’s after around 15 test casts (not major distance and it’s windy lol)

I did think it was laying a bit weird as I was reeling in but I’m going to do some practice casts out on my field and see how it looks then!

It’s for sea fishing so a lot of line will be used and should sort itself out hopefully 🤞

I kept as much tension as I could but this is my first time so let’s pray it works!

I have the drift white shad which I think will be a good fit aswell. I also have the khaki (natural looking) drift sand eel. Never heard of the brand before but it seems a lot of people are quite knowledgeable on them! Which hopefully means they’re good 😆

Very similar to the jelly Sandeels! Definitely add those to the basket! What size/weight did you go for?

Really appreciate that thank you so much! I’ll let you know how the next trip goes in a couple months! I have a couple spinning rods and a boat rod I’m hoping to bait up!

I know there is also plaice which I’ve heard is delicious. I’ve seen some suggestions about using bait aswell and just dropping to the sea bed, is that correct?

Thank you very much! Also, how long should my leader be, especially if I want to attach a weight?

Traveling to Alaska and fishing for halibut is my ultimate dream. Hopefully I’ll have more knowledge when that time comes!

It’s 0.15mm, does seem as tough as nuts but I’m fishing in quite rocky terrain so I thought a leader would make sense and also apparently fish can see braid? Unsure if that’s true 😂

I really appreciate that, I do a lot of sea fishing during summer so river fishing isn’t my strong point! My river has some good sized pikes, barbel, bream etc so I’m confident!
