  • Random nugget of info.

    Go check out beaches at low tide, check for rocks gullys, weed beds, sand or pebble bottom.
    What wildlife, shellfish, crabs in rock pools, sandy beaches might be covered in little spoil heaps like mini mole hills, that indicates main food for fish will be rag/lug worm or razor clams.

    You may get really lucky. My old home is beachcasting with loads of low mark snags and high mark rocks to trap line.
    This equates to treasure.
    I always go for a walk on the beach when home and nearly always find lost tackle, i had boxes of weights and recycled terminal parts, clips, sheilds, swivels etc etc.
    Clean up the beach and never buy anything other than line and hooks again and sell excess weights on for beers :)

  • Thanks for all the information. I'll start saving some mackerel for bait.
    I'll talk to some of the other gus fishing, but they're mostly using feathers for mackerel, same as me. Maybe if I go to some other beaches there will be people doing different tpes of fishing.
