  • My wife bought me sea fishing trip on a boat out of Ramsgate for Christmas last year. Finally got round to it last weekend. Went out on with a couple of friends and really enjoyed it. I was sick as a dog on the day (getting over a nasty virus, not seasick), so I was pretty much useless, but others caught, loads of dogfish, smooth hounds and small bass.

    I live 10 mins from the swale and have been harbouring a hankering to try beach casting for ages. Any tips on starter kit and general advice for a total noob?

  • The best single bit of advice is to go to your local tackle shop, ask questions and listen carefully. If it has only got the ubiquitous carp gear and everything is only available in camouflage you're on a loser. Try local sea fishing clubs, you'll be amazed how helpful people can be.
