yes chilli we are makin a few quid at £8.75 a kilo

at the moment we are fishing with big green sand eels (lance) i think you call them but they seem to bite on anything from a red gill to jelly worms or lead head shads fished with a 8/0 wire hook and 12 oz of lead in the tide i was using 30lb braid but have gone up to 60lb now because the fish can break it and a new penn 320 gti every month as they are totaly fuxed after that time

gill nets are good to catch the small bass but the most efficient method is a rod
