at last some decent water to fish in!!!
i was gettting fed up pulling whiting out 3 evenings last week .
Hopefully some bigger fish might be about now the sea bed has had a good turnover.

Also has anyone tried that new smartbait stuff? (peelercrap sticks)
Just want to hear if anyone has caught any decent fish on them?
Anyway best of luck to all who are out fishing this week and i wil let you know how i get on tommorow.

If you rule out any bait Ben blanks on you'll end up fishing with a bare hook!

Never rule out a bait just because you have blanked once or twice using it.

I always fish with various baits every time I go, unless that is, if I know my mark extremely well at all states of tide and covering all seasons. For example, whilst reading a web article the other day from wellyfish, covering flounder fishing in one of our rivers, stated, that the best bait to use in the autumn was peeler crab, whilst in the spring this switches to rag.

So as we can see, we have a two pronged effect going on here.

I agree with you m8 .
A good mix of baits does have its plus points but as all of us know luck is a huge part of it!
If you cast in the right spot and use good fresh bait you are just giving yourself more of a chance.(well sometimes anyway)

talk soon
