NEWKID 26,263 Posted July 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Cheers lads, Your right Bell they're very nice from the sea I'm off to Guernsey at the start of August for a week seeing family, I'll be doing a bit of fishing out there and I might have a go for the mullet off the rocks, if I catch 1 it'll go in the pan as will any bass I'm lucky enough to catch Quote Link to post
baw 4,360 Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Well done fin, your face says it all. What bait were you using newkid and method please. Quote Link to post
NEWKID 26,263 Posted July 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Caught on maggot Baw, first 2 were caught on the stick float, but once the tide starts backing the flow up it's impossible to fish the float properly so the last one was caught at the top of the tide on the groundbait feeder.. You've got to keep the feed going in down there though, got through a couple of pints of maggots and a pint of caster plus 1.5 kilos of groundbait... You'd like the Exe Baw, it's a very good Salmon river plus there's loads of wild brownies, the upper reaches up to the moor are lovely bits of water.. Quote Link to post
robbo 802 Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Yeah my 10 year old boy loves it too, but it's a nightmare taking them both at the same time! My daughter is a proper girlie girl too at times, hair & nails, etc, but she loves a bit of fishing and rabbiting as well. She wouldn't blink if I asked her to gut a fish or a rabbit, she'd be straight in there! She wants to be a forensic pathologist when she grows up, she's got a huge interest in the insides of things! A forensic pathologist, what a thought out career choice, My youngest girls the same, in that she is not squirmish at all and seems to have a real understanding of life and death... we lost a ferret earlier this year and Fin was in bits but Isla turned round and said " everythings got to die Fin" she was upset but dealt with it with no fuss.. it's funny how they're all a bit different. Well done to fin. It makes your heart swell when they catch stuff like that kev. Well done to you for taking the time and having the patience. I had four to teach, thats why im as bald as a hens egg.lol. Your daughter sounds like a well balanced young woman. Or a future serial killer. EVERYTHING MUST DIE. 1 Quote Link to post

WILF 44,408 Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Tidy mate, them Mullet fight like the clappers.......well done your boy Quote Link to post
NEWKID 26,263 Posted July 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Tidy mate, them Mullet fight like the clappers.......well done your boy Cheers Mate, we had a few hairy moments around the net, as soon as they see it their off again, as we've talked about before they've got some power... Was only fishing 3lb fluro carbon fir hook length and a size 16 hook, I've not caught many on the stick before so that was a nice change, you normally hook them on the feeder when your fishing for the bream down there...

Aye looks a good stretch mate, bet the brownies are good last hour of light. Can't beat tidal stretches for variation. Quote Link to post

How do you find the fluro carbon mate, is it worth the money? I'm a mono guy but for the trout on the bubble you need as light a gut as you can get cos the c**ts can see it. I know the fluro is thinner under the same strength as mono, just too fkn tight to try it Quote Link to post
