Had a walk along the pier tonight. Halfway up the slab I saw a bloke spinning with a fixed spool reel, rod upside down, reeling backwards! I sh!t u not! Its 20 years since I saw someone do that

ha ha on the end on sunday there was a polish bloke who was twisting his full body side ways to cast out similar to the hammer throw at the olympics i thought it must have had something to do with all the green him and his mates were smoking. also seen a old asian bloke using a 10oz cannon ball boat lead on a spinning rod

On Wednesday,the kid who went over the side into the water, after his mates rod,was doing the same thing-upside down, winding backwards.

Nobody, not even his "mates", bothered to try to point out the easy fix

Haha, that's exactly what I am trying to stop my 6 year old from doing at the minute. he isn't moving the rod, but twisting his body instead - but as I said, he is only 6!

I fished the 44 but felt out of place as I was the only one without cans of fosters or bottles of cider!

Would love to take the bairn fishing on the piers to catch something but people like this are one of the reasons I dare not! I am trying to teach him good fishing habits etc, but this time of year with some dodgy folk around its quite hard!

I was up in Eyemouth at the weekend visiting the in-laws and my mother in law was showing me some of the decent marks up there - just as we passed one a bloke caught a fish and after reeling in he began to throw it repeatedly against a rock until it was dead rather than use a priest! Might just be me from coming from a trout background but it just seemed a bit dodgy.
