Whatever feels right for you mate! Personally I'd only fish a chod/zig in weed, drop off lead of course. If you're staying put keep on trying to find a spot or locate where the fish are, if possible. Then you'd know whether or not to move. I'm envious mate, enjoy the challenge!

As long as you have the essentials elmo, just focus on enjoying yourself mate. If you forget something then you can get over it somehow. Being on the bank is quality time. I wish I could have more time there, but work and family take priority at the moment SO, QT shoutld be cherished, you deserve it buddy! Tight lines

It's a fugly fish for sure. No pics of the 88lb common he had thoughπ

If you're using small hooks it's tricky, but wet the end and give it a little twist, it will go. I sometimes struggle getting it through the slim anti tangle sleeves, but it does with a little practice.A thin bait needle can help sometimes

I found that a split shot stays in position, sometimes the putty can move or even come off! Extreme!! What's that all about?? Enjoy experimenting with it elmo

Something didn't feel right, so I moved several hundred yards, I'm only putting out a few freebies in pva mesh with the hook bait. Every 15-20 minutes, I'm adjusting the zig. Feel a little bit more confident π

Well my first fish, it saddens me to say was a couple of pound bream! Gutted!! Lovely morning, chucked a zig near a few shows, so fingers crossed

The wind has finally dropped, sun is glaring in my baited areas, but I'm just happy to be here!

I'm not going to lie, I'm finding it a bit daunting, way out my comfort zone. It feels like I'm fishing at seaπ€―

No joy yet! I'm made up to just be here. Fott high waves rolling in so hard to spot any activity. Thanks for all your well wishes lads

Well I'm loosing my virginity tonight!! All loaded up, going to have dinner with the kids then off to the resi! I don't mind admitting I'm quite excited to finally get on the bank πππ

Bait loop, kd type knot and shot where fluro stops to anchor the boom section, only knot at hook and swivel at lead.

Yep. I think it's COVID related in the fact it's only one person per boat, so I'm guessing the regulars got first look in, for the outboards. Not sure about storage! I can fit it in my extra long wheelbase van easily enough. My mate can't drive so that's 2 of everything we now need, due to COVID regsπππ. I've got to make my own coffee now!! I'm looking at possibly getting a little rib too! No point in having a motor with nothing to put it on!

I've been twice prebaiting. The weed is as you say Nick. I have put a bit of bait on obvious clear spots. Went to book my boat safety course to be told I now need to buy a small electric motor and leisure battery!! Blinking annoying and quite costly! π

Will do mate, it's almost time to wrestle the gear out the back of my lock up. Next Friday I'll be on the bank & try to detail it. Honestly so easy, all you need to do tie the hook and to the swivel. I've found a link, it mentions a video that may make it clear. Hydrolink https://www.rigmarole.co.uk/products/end-tackle-accessories/hooklinks
