Blackpool sunset tonight. We went for the hounds and rays but only doggys tonight.

I went to Rossal Beach Blackpool tonight and caught 1 Bass, a baby Thornback Ray, a plaice and a doggy. A most enjoyable evening spent by the sea I loved it.

Well done mate, looks like you had a good session and a couple of nice bass there. I'm going tomorrow night. The smoothes have arrived in the Northwest along with the bass and Thorneys. Plus all the flatfish and doggys, So I'm hoping for a good session.

Nice one mate. 😁👍

Good luck mate 👍

I'm hoping too get out this week myself. Thornback Ray will be the target, with the chance of a Bass and maybe a Smoothy.😁👍🎣

Bird boxes not good this time of year mate birds are starting to build their nest now.

Good luck elmo, let us know how you get on mate. 😁👍🎣

My back has gone several times over the last few years and think the worst was when I was brushing my teeth, I bent over to spit in the sink and my back locked and I couldn't move for quite a few minutes and when I could eventually move it was the most worst pain ever.

My plans for this year are too hit the beaches as much as possible, I'm loving my shore fishing so far this year. What ever fishing you do get out and enjoy it that's what it's all about.😁👍

I don't really use Facebook mate thanks for the idea anyway. 👍

I'm getting an Ian gold super match tripod for my beach fishing, My old one broke when I last went about 4 weeks ago but it had been sat in my loft for quite a lot of years and had plenty of use in the past. 😁👍

Yes mate tackle and some terminal bits for my rigs, I'm still waiting too get my rod back after having eye replaced . The wife has bought me a new Ian gold tripod for Christmas. I'll just be using the 1 rod set up for the time being until I can get myself another rod and reel. I'm trying to sell my bedchair and brolly system at the moment that should buy for a rod and my birthday in February so hopefully a new reel for that.

Sounds good mate, I wish I lived closer I'd come and join for a session or two. I'm itching to get out on the beaches, I just need too get a few more things sorted and I'll be there, I can't wait I've not felt like this for a very long time about any fishing. 😁👍

I also watch the fish locker workshop, I watch more of the shore fishing than the boat fishing, boat fishing isn't really for me, I'm sick as a dog soon as it gets a bit choppy.😂😂

I think I'm going to have to find those tope beaches and have a go.

I been watching lots of YouTube videos and I've seen a few on tope fishing from some beaches in North Wales and I wouldn't mind catching some myself. In the summer months I love catching smooth hound and I would imagine a tope is like a smooth hound on steroids.

Well at the moment I'm still getting some tackle together, I've bought myself an original penn 525mag and I'm getting a eye replaced on my beach caster. I'm in the North West so I'll be fishing the Blackpool area which is about 40 miles for me and when the weather gets better, I'll be going to North Wales around about 150 miles were i want to fish but the travellingis all worth it. I can't wait mate.😁👍

@ the mods can’t we have a sub forum for the sea angler’s among us ? Top idea BB.😁👍

I think my carp fishing is over for the foreseeable future, I'm just so bored with it at the moment, I won't be renewing my night card or day ticket. I actually went shore fishing a couple of weeks ago and I'm back in love with my sea fishing, I went with a couple of mates and had a great time, I only caught a few whiting but the thing is you don't know what's on the end of that line, I had to borrow a rod and reel from my mate, because I'd sold all my gear but guess what I'm starting a fresh with new gear and I can't wait. I did keep 1 rod and tomorrow I'm going out to buy a new reel. I will be hanging around on the forum and keeping my eye on things, it's been great being part of this forum and had great advice and learnt a lot in my short time in carp fishing but my first love for fishing has always been sea fishing even though it involves more travelling and cost but I don't really care, it's all about enjoying my fishing and over the last 2 years I've not really been enjoying myself. So I wish everybody tight lines and great fishing and catches and will be keeping an eye on things. All the best Keith.

Mine would be Perch. Tench. Carp. And sea from the shore Smooth hound. Ballan Wrasse. Cod.

Welcome to the forum Andy. Just enjoy your fishing and time on the bank, that's what it's all about mate. 😁👍🎣

I fished in some of the worst weather that I've ever fished In but it was worth it, I ended up with 5 carp biggest 13lb 14oz, it was good to fish somewhere different. 😁

I've used the Bank Tackle hooks curve and wide gape for quite a few years now with no issues at all and they are cheap as chips.😁👍

I will have a look for that B B cheers. 👍
