    You could try them on drifts by casting them downtide as far as possible and winding hard. I have some similar and they hammer down faster than you might think. A friend used them over rough ground for pollock to good effect, I've only tried the once...nadaย

    I empathise, there are a few about and hopefully in May or June they will have recovered from spawning and packed on some weight.ย 
    A friend has also reminded me that we are also going to see if we can get a Northumbrian LSD ๐Ÿ˜

    Plaice and a few other flats, double figure cod and pollock from the kayak, and a tope but not from the kayak. I have seen my friend's video of trying to land a 40lb fish and he came out second best but fortunately no claret.

    No but they look just like the 10kg haul she caught before this one, a prawn is a prawn, unless they are those alien ones they get in South Africa (District 9).

    Too lumpy here, but the positive I take from that is; the rugby is on and the pub is ten minutes away ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ‰๐Ÿป

    Yes, should have said! I use it separately from the fishing rod due to lack of hands etc when on the yak. The cod enjoyed mouthing the lead weight I think and a couple of times the camera was nibbled by fish, you should be able to see my lure(s) in a few of the shots including a missed take from a small codling.

    Second one I should have put the lures down first! I am hoping to make a rig to stop the camera swinging around to lessen the seasickness ๐Ÿคฃ the camera is 8' or so above the lead weight and generally I kept the lead about a foot above the reef.
    Last time I used it I found that I had a dead pixel(s) which is annoying but I will keep it going for the foreseeable as I get a lot of information from them like wrasse and ling just watching it go by and little bits like how many urchins are in some areas and I often wonder how on earth I don't get snagged up more.

    I`m bored as I am awaiting the kitchen being fitted so I`m going to see if I can post up some recent catches (past 4-5 years) for those who like to see a few fish.
    I`ll get some new ones hopefully when the hurricane season passes ๐Ÿ™‚
    First up a smallish wrasse to a cheb rigged creature
    and on a sidewinder minnow

    Yay, it worked!
    Afew of those things you guys call unicorns I believe...

    Sometimes two at a time

    Sometimes funny coloured kelp codling

    Pot bellied pigs

    Not a cod, and apologies for the rubbish pic but ia lunker like that wasn`t staying in the water to be photographed, too many seals around....

    Oddities...
    Is it a gremlin?

    Nope a SSSS

    And a wrestling match to unhook and I had 3 from 3 different drifts that day!

    Hope it floats ya boat.
