Good news appears to be very thin on the ground at the moment. Whether it’s the threat of nuclear war with Russia, the cost of living crisis or the risk of contracting the delightfully named new virus, monkeypox, there’s never been more reason to switch your news feed off, get outside and go fishing. Now summer has arrived (doesn’t it come around quickly?) I hope you can decompress and let your worries wash away with a rod in hand on holiday, if you are lucky enough to be going away with family of friends this season. With that in mind this issue brings you a great selection of summer holiday Where To Fish locations from around the country, such as Tenby, Newquay, Weston-Super-Mare and Suffolk. We’ve also got some great…

A few years ago I found a lovely spot in North Wales at Gimblet Rock, Pwllheli, where I spent time on holiday with my family. I was lucky enough to go fishing and even luckier to land a sizeable bull huss (a photo of which sits proudly at home on my landing wall). Several years later, and sporting a few more grey hairs, I convinced some mates to take a road trip and returned to the same spot. On the 29th January I met up with Brian, Russ and Steve. We packed all our gear into Brian’s van which was the biggest vehicle to get there altogether. We set off from Kent at nine am. It was a very long journey – just over 6 hours – so I felt…

Cornwall’s Atlantic coast is of World Heritage status. Open to 3,000 miles of ocean it features soaring headlands, thrusting into deep blue water, endless beaches of golden sand, big estuaries bordered by accessible rock strands, coves, and protecting breakwaters. Add a huge range of UK species enhanced by semi tropical wanderers from places such as Biscay, Madeira and the Azores and it is everything the dedicated shore angler wants. TOWAN HEAD Towan Head is on Newquay’s doorstep and rugged with deep water attracting a wide range of species including wrasse, bass and small eyed ray. Mullet are plentiful around the whole of the headland but must be coaxed with ground bait. Several species of tropical fish have also been recorded. Be aware – the head is subject to massive swells…

Tenby is widely regarded as being the jewel in the crown of Welsh tourism. Aside for being an extremely pretty little harbour town where you’ll find lots of great pubs, restaurants, accommodation options and numerous popular tourist attractions. Just offshore, boat anglers can experience superb boat angling. None of which should come as any great surprise when you learn Tenby’s Welsh name is, ‘Dinbych-y-Pysgod,’ or ‘Little Fortress of the Fish’! Just over two miles due south of Tenby Harbour, on the opposite side of Caldey Sound, sits the historic, monastic, Caldey Island; a tranquil sanctuary of meditation and home of a brotherhood of Cistercian monks. Caldey is a beautiful, unspoilt, gem of an island; its coastline studded with numerous secluded coves and beaches. From an angling perspective such diverse topography…

By the turn of 1900 sea angling with rod and line had become a major recreational pastime with its stronghold being the fishing towns and coastline along the English Channel. Seven years earlier the British Sea Anglers’ Society had been formed and had its headquarters in London’s Fetter Lane off Fleet Street. The membership was principally drawn from the better off and outright wealthy and it had great flair. Angling writers of the time including Frederick Aflalo, who was its founder, and F.D. Holcombe, who between 1900 and 1925 was its secretary. During a visit to England in 1912 Charles Frederick Holder, who had founded the Catalina Tuna Club, addressed the Society members and the following year said in his mammoth book, Game Fishes of the World, that the BSAS…

I have always had a fascination for big fish, having caught marlin to 500lb and tuna to 700lb, nothing peaks my fishing passion as much as a hard fighting tuna. Having enjoyed a couple of UK trips this year targeting bluefin tuna, tagging and releasing, I was keen to try and get some more arm-aching action on stand up before the year came to an end. The Irish trips to catch bluefin were excellent and yielded a couple of nice tuna; however, it is a different type of fishing being chair-based fights, plus at times you are battling the wild Atlantic conditions almost as much as the fish! I was craving some warm sun on my back and a mental escape from all the trials and tribulations of 2020. My…

Q I often struggle to catch mackerel when anglers fishing alongside me are pulling up strings of fish. What am I doing wrong? GARY DIXON, GLASGOW DL says: Assuming you are using the same or similar lures, it is likely you are not fishing at the depth the fish are shoaling. Start by engaging free spool on your reel, while checking the flow of line with your thumb. Allow the lures to drop about 12-20ft, recheck the flow of line, and jig the rod. If you don’t feel anything release another 12-20ft of line, recheck and jig continuing this process through the entire water column until you feel fish hitting the lures; you’ll soon develop the knack! Q How much should the vent in a fuel tank cap be opened,…

In the last of this series we see how to prepare the scaly species for the table including black bream, bass, mullet and gurnards. The technique is the same for all ‘round’ fish. With these species it is necessary to remove all the scales before cooking if you want to eat the crispy skin. Also, be aware that these species have small pin bones that need removal so as not to spoil the eating experience. The master fishmonger from the Boathouse Fisheries will show us his technique and pass on hints and tips for easy filleting. Cerion has chosen a bass of about 3lb to show us the technique of filleting which will leave next to nothing on the skeleton. A fish of this size will feed four people with…

Designed specifically with cod in mind, Seadra Nimbus Slow Jigs are the result of two years of extensive field testing in the English Channel. Beautifully finished to a very high standard, the range consists of two popular and proven colours, holo pink and rhubarb & custard, both available in either 160g or 200g. Each lure comes ready rigged with a pair of perfectly matched, corrosion-resistant, assist hooks mounted on what appears to be kevlar braid. The hooks are attached to a solid stainless steel ring, which is in turn attached to the lure via a stainless steel split ring. The leader, either fluorocarbon or monofilament, at the end of your (usually braided) line, is tied directly to the solid ring forming an incredibly strong link between leader and hooks. Using…

The Essex coast has always been a great place to head for targeting bass, and with some local knowledge it can produce some very big bass too! Don’t be afraid to ask in your local fishing tackle shop; this is always the first place to head for and they will be all too willing to provide valuable information and supply that all important bait. BAIT Bass can be caught on all types of bait: squid, fish baits, ragworm, lugworm, shellfish and peeler crabs. All these have their place at certain times and in certain weather conditions, but if there is one go to bait for all conditions on the Essex coast then it has to be ragworm. Bass absolutely love to munch on a lively ragworm! Hooked through the head…

I look to find fish wherever I go on holiday, and the key to success is research. So, when the opportunity arose to grab a cheap week on the bleak volcanic Canary Island of Fuerteventura, I hit the internet. Google Earth (an indispensable tool for the shore angler) revealed a mix of jagged cliffs, black rocks and huge sweeping sandy beaches. I was going to stay in a small coastal resort called Caleta De Fuste, which consisted of a small sheltered sandy bay, protected by a large stone breakwater, and flanked to the north by a rocky outcrop. Crucially, Caleta has a resource that any travelling angler should make immediate use of – a local tackle shop! No matter how diligent your pre-trip research is, there is no substitute for…

Tucked away between the Suffolk Hamlets of Shingle Street and Bawdsey is a stretch of beach which is named after one of the access roads, East Lane, and which is steeped in history going back to mysterious events during the Second World War. SPECIES Over the years it was known for a good run of cod in winter and spring, then bass, with some good fish too. How times have changed with the demise of the southern North Sea cod stock. Thornback ray and more recently smoothhound have provided company for the bass which patrol the beach in search of food. It’s a stretch of coastline which really does allow all types of angling, from rock fishing to the south, along the sea defences of East Lane, right through to…

GETTING THERE Cocklawburn is reached from the A1 by following Scremerston then Cocklawburn Beach road signs. Access to Chiswick beach is from the A1 by minor roads signposted Goswick and Cheswick. Head for the latter passing East House before continuing past a row of farm cottages then over a rail bridge to find a parking area beyond. The beach is about five minutes from here and popular with dog walkers. The only local tackle shop today in the locality is Go Outdoors at Scremerston.…

Seaton is a seaside town situated in East Devon between the villages of Beer and Axmouth. This is a shingle beach which goes off to clean sand, with some rougher areas of ground around its periphery. It’s a beautiful beach surrounded by some great looking scenery. A bird’s-eye view of this venue would show you chalky cliffs on the left-hand side and good views of some rugged looking coastline on the right-hand side of the beach. This venue is part of Lyme Bay which is an area of the English Channel situated between Start Point to the west and Portland Bill to the east of Seaton. There are all sorts of possibilities when it comes to the fishing at this venue and it offers a good variety of different species…

During the course of our week at Ballydavid, the tremendous boat fishing they had experienced in Belmullet on that exploratory trip back in 1966 came up often in conversation. It wasn’t long. before someone, I think it was Des (Brennan), remarked that the following year, 1996, would be the 30th anniversary of that first historic trip. “We should arrange a reunion, and you should join us Dave, the fishing there really is excellent,” Des had remarked; I really was living the dream. The following year our arrival in Co Mayo coincided with hot, calm and sunny weather, more or less the exact opposite of what the trio had encountered all of those years ago. Sitting in the bar of the Western Strands Hotel, Belmullet SACs present HQ, that first night…

The blackfin tuna, thunnus atlanticus, are occasionally referred to as the Bermuda tuna, blackfinned albacore, or deep bodied tunny. It is the smallest tuna species in the genus Thunnus. Blackfin tuna are considered tropical, warm water fish and have a relatively small distribution throughout the eastern coast of North and South America where they are found from Massachusetts to Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. Blackfin are especially prolific and thus targeted by sport fishermen throughout the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean. The current IGFA All-Tackle record for blackfin tuna is held with a fish that weighed 49lb 6oz, caught off Marathon, Florida in 2006. Given an average size of between 8-20lb, blackfin are the perfect target for the light tackle enthusiast using a light to medium weight spinning outfit,…

I do a lot of bass fishing tackle development work with Savage Gear these days. However, interestingly, this Waterproof Rollup Rucksack was developed way before I ever started doing anything with them. Because I am always carrying camera gear with me when I go fishing, I am bound to use some kind of rucksack, and with the sort of unpredictable weather we get in the UK and Ireland it makes perfect sense that the rucksack I carry be waterproof. As a result, I have a lot of experience with various waterproof rucksacks, from very expensive and specialist camera bags which have been on my back in the tropics as I have swum from reef to reef with sharks swimming below me, through to something pretty cheap like this 40-litre rollup…

The latest gear and technology for boat-owning anglers BOAT EXPO LIVE Head south west to Portland Marina later this summer for a new boat show Portland Marina in Dorset will host a brand-new boat show this summer. Boat Expo Live will take place from August 4th to 7th in Osprey Quay around the waters of Portland and Weymouth, well known  as one of the hotspots of boat angling activity around the coast of the UK with numerous charter boats and many thousands of private angling boats fishing the waters every year. As a result, the new show is ideally located for new and experienced boat anglers and at a venue with great facilities and that is a fully operational marina. The expo is aimed at leisure boating enthusiasts who have…

I have been using lures over offshore wrecks for over 30 years and over the decades there have been few changes to the most popular choice of terminal rig, or the basic technique employed to present a lure over the rusting hulk of a wreck, or a reef. Back in the 1980s ‘the’ lure to use was an artificial sandeel, more specifically a 172mm Red Gill. Popular colours then were red, black and orange, just as they are today. Red Gill lures remain a hugely effective lure, notably for various species including pollack, bass, cod and coalfish., These days anglers turn up for a day offshore wrecking with a huge variety of different lures, in all of the colours of the rainbow. Jelly worms, shads and a host of different…

A few years back a group of angling friends, Adam, Rob, Gav, and I decided to venture away from our same old angling surroundings for the last 12 months and put some time into an area of South West rock venues where we would target the hard-hitting black bream. This species is one of my favourites to catch from UK waters, and, if you’re lucky enough to catch one, it is also one of the tastiest as well. Cooked in tinfoil and steamed to perfection, served with runner beans and creamy mash; it really does the trick! ROUGH GROUND TACTICS We would be targeting the bream over rough ground with kelp and lots of objects the fish would try and dive down into once hooked. We all therefore decided to…

Nestling along the Jurassic coastline the long shallow rocky scars within Kimmeridge Bay are well documented for producing bass and mullet to lures and the fly. But what other options does the bay have to offer? I teamed up with Scott Titt and Will Chellingworth, who are both members of the Swanage Angling club, one September evening to find out. WHEN Early morning or late evening sessions are always recommended along this patch, especially during the summer months when the whole area gets extremely busy. There is plenty of shoreline for lure anglers to roam well away from the majority of folk but it is extremely shallow. For those wanting to fish with baits hard on the bottom there are far fewer opportunities when the beach is busy. Picking the…

Weston-Super-Mare is a seaside town situated in north Somerset. It is a very popular holiday destination in the warmer months of the year. The town’s beach is surrounded by many attractions which keep the holiday makers busy when they visit. The beach is set in the heart of Weston Bay and is part of the Bristol Channel. As you scan the horizon from the beach you will see a number of very distinct landmarks. When facing left on the beach you will look out on Brean Down, a popular destination for walkers and an area which boasts numerous fishing locations as well. The Grand Pier, which can’t be missed when looking across to the right-hand side of the beach, has to be one of the most famous landmarks in the…

GETTING THERE Parking and access to this venue couldn’t be easier; just park, walk a short distance and fish. You need to be aware of holiday makers, especially in the warmer months of the year. In the height of summer fishing can become almost impossible on this beach because of swimmers and varied water sports. In the busier months of the year we recommend early mornings, late evenings, and night fishing at Seaton.

Sandilands is quiet, sandy beach situated close to Sutton on Sea on the Lincolnshire coast. It is a stretch of the coast that offers the anglers a variety of species to target. If driving, aim for the golf course next to which there is a large car park. You have an easy walk up the concrete steps and onto the beach. It’s a very popular beach with families. It is also a popular spot with anglers. SPECIES A couple of years ago they had a big run of big bass with several going into double figures. Although the bigger bass have not shown in large number since there is still a chance of catching some nice fish. In the warmer months along with the bass the smoothhounds arrive. These can…

I wonder how many anglers go on holiday with their family and, as if by magic, end up close to the sea and a bit of fishing! I can’t imagine there are many people out there who don’t love a seaside holiday, but how does the mad keen angler get out and about for a bit of bass fishing and also spend time with their family? I must admit that it’s a balancing act I have never really had to get used to because, as a family, we live so close to the sea and there is loads of fishing around us which I can fit in around work and family. However, I do remember when my wife and I went on our honeymoon many years ago now. We had…

In these cash-strapped times getting a few days away fishing with mates has become that little bit more difficult for most of us. But if you fancy a short break with big fish over 100lb, and potentially lots of them, then the short hop north over the Scottish border for a common skate safari is a quick and affordable option. With just this in mind, father and son Sandy and Adam Riach, along with fishing buddy Keith Kinnear, headed south from Inverness, while Mike Jr and I left Anglesey, picking up Tom Wain from Sandbach on the way. We met up as a group in Oban on a Wednesday night with two days ahead of us targeting common skate with skipper Leigh Taylor aboard the Laura Dawn 11. The boat,…

COX & RAWLE DONGLE RIGS RRP: £3.75 INTRODUCING THE DONGLE Cox & Rawle have just completed their ready-tied version of the dongle rig. It seems like sea anglers all over the country are eager to get their hands on these rigs. From what I hear, there are many anglers who are already enjoying some great results with the dongle rigs as well. A dongle is something you attach your bait to. It was primarily rigged to fish baits below the hook when fishing with a single circle hook. Many anglers now also use a dongle when they want to fish a single J hook in the top of a bait. A major advantage of using a dongle is that it gives you the ability to clip a bait down next…

The casting float rig makes use of the weight of the float to cast the rig without the need for an additional weight. The rig can be used with both lures and bait and it is deal for targeting fish high in the water column such as bass, mackerel and garfish. The float can be left to fish or retrieved when using artificial lures. One other key aspect of the casting float rig is the ability to set the depth of your hook snood and fish sinking lures and baits over rough ground while keeping the hook clear of any snags. Casting floats come in different weights depending on what and how you are fishing. Tronixpro EVA casting floats, such as the one featured in the illustration, range from 10g-80g…

The braid market for us lure anglers is changing fairly rapidly for the better, and we should all be jumping for joy . No more do we need to pay silly money to fill our spinning reels up with high quality 8-strand braids, and for that I must give a lot of credit to Daiwa and their brilliant and aggressively priced J-Braid which came onto the market fairly recently. But there are other braids out there at similar prices which are just as good. I do love lure fishing with those ultra smooth, Japanese style 8-strand braids . They are so thin and they cut through wind and current incredibly well. Of course, that level of finesse comes with a lessening of abrasion resistance and perhaps overall toughness, and as…
