Hey there, basically i have literally like no experience with lure fishing, im big into fly fishing, carp, coarse and the piers and beaches too but id like to try the lighter side of the sea sport, so what im asking is if you have any advice it would be greatly appreciated, what rods, what reels, lures, what weights, braids and any good places? around the south tyneside area, thank you
well here we go.you need a rod anything frome 7ft to 10ft and casting weight from 10g to 28g.i personaly like a 9ft with a fast tip action as you can cast your lure were you want it to go lol.ive just got the new okuma octana casts 10-35 g with a xxfast tip.
line i use berkley whip lash camo 25lb.reason you use braid as your intouch with the fish as braid dose knot stretch like mono.also i use a 12inch shock leader!!!! but dont use any normal shock leader as bass will see it aswell as pollock.use florocarbon .
lures.you need to buy lures what represent the bait fish in the water were you be fishing ect.... like sand eel colours makeral colours and lance colours.but remember lures are very exspensive and its like a drug once you buy one you cant stop...now if its sunny conditions go with something thats light in colour.now we come to fishing in the dark????
you need to use black lures ...why you ask?? well when your fishing a black lure in the dark the bass or pollock look up and see a black Silhouette and they will smash it
clothing wise. you can use neoprene chest waders but i find if your walking a lot and rock hopping they it can be hard work.i use repala breathible chest waders with wading boots also boots have spikes or studds on sole this willprevent you from slipping on green mossy rocks or rocks that are coverd in sea weed hope this helps you ladds good luck
also head light: you can use a head light aslong as its got the red light on it.but remember if fishing for bass do knot direct your lamp on full beam on to water as this will spook the bass.you can if you have the red light on but if knot turn your back to the water so your facing the shore as your changing your lures
also for got to mention reel;any reel size from 4000 to 6000 will be fine must have grag on though
I've just bought a bass travel rod for the hols but intend to use it here as well can't wait to get started going to invest in some breathable waders and boots at the of the month
It's handy to see what people use up here rather than buying them then learning you've bought the wrong ones as the choice is vast and I costly if you get it wrong, cheers
should use weedless trebble hooks on your lures as i do never ever loose a lure
Paul, what kind of weedless trebles do you find work best? Iv been looking at these, apparently they just slide onto existing trebles, but not sure if they'll affect the action of the lure or not? Have you used them before?
