around the end of September wen the seas build up and it gets colder .

i was been safe and in a safe place as there was no one near me for a fair good distance just idiots full ov drink starting

best off going somewhere away from everyone when learning to cast mate,sandy beach at low water spot on,just you gonna spoil peoples fishing and put people at risk if your lead goes off course,weve all been there mate.anyway,i think mid october prime time for cod,you might pick them off before.

they think they own the piers this time of year, put some daylight`s on with your clean lead, stay your safe distance and you can cast all day long,

they`l just think your 1 of them........!

Got to agree with Davey, stick some daylites on and you have plenty of practice casting aswell as chance of a few fish to bag. Remember to always use a shockleader 10lb per 1 ounce of lead, tight lines mate.
