Popular Post Tony smith Posted July 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 11, 2021 I want to get back into beach fishing. So I thought I would give Gilkicker a try with my son Terry. We got to the carpark at 8.30pm ready for the long walk. Terry is a keen Carp angler so his trolley was well appreciated After a 1/2 mile walk we set up two rods Terry was on Rag and squid I was on a whole squid both on pulley pennel rigs Within 20 min Terry had a screaming run nearly took the tripod over nice 4lb Smoothound It was 2 hours until high tide the weed was being a big problem. It was nearly unfishable. We stayed until 2.30am just as we were packing up I was in. I had a nice just under 3lb Bass. Had a great time it's been too long since the son and I went fishing. We will go back when the weed isn't such a problem. Well pleased with what we caught off the beach in difficult conditions 👍 I know it's not boat fishing but thought I would share this with you all.

Tony smith Posted July 11, 2021 Author Share Posted July 11, 2021 Hi Jon Sheriff 😂😂 We could do with a beach section for boat owners who hit the beach now and again. I love all sorts of fishing mate. Not sure on what a sheriff would do apart from report on what's been caught 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy135 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Good report Tony. As Jon says, probably all of us have trod the shingle at one point or another. I quite enjoy the occasional shore dangle as it's a different experience to a boat session. Neither better or worse, just different. A shore sesh can be good when it's too windy to take the boat out and I often take my beach gear when we visit relatives in Devon - some spectacular shore marks down there.
