Welcome Tim. Just saw your post - that is heck of a lot of useful info. in a single post! Thanks for sharing. What sort of lures do you use? I have been using Rapala-style lures & Eddystone eels so far. I've caught fish in the past on Mepp-style spinners mainly (& mackeral on mackeral spinners & feathers). Found an
article on Portland lure fishing at the weekend & the guy's fav. lure is a
bright orange jointed lure:
Had to laughed, as I recently painted a big, bright orange Rapala-style lure from a Lidl's tackle box blue & white
. I guess the idea is to use something that is hard to miss: bright & vibrating/rattling - rather than worry too much about it looking exactly like a fish. So much for my grey & white Rapala J13 ...actually supposed to be good in clear water on bright days - I can rarely see it in the water though.
Magpie, are the top guys built like shot putters? (Was surprised to see an eating contest on TV in the USA won by a little Japanese guy...up against some of the biggest guys I have ever seen!
).
