Hi Pscylo,

Garfish are more of a sport fish ( on light float tackle ) - like you
said, they are supposed to be edible but a lot of people get put off by
their green bones!


Yeah, I had relised that. To be honest I took one look at it, and though
"that ain't for eating". Monkfish look that way to me to, but they taste
damn fine, so I'll try anything once, even with green bones.


You don't need a license for sea fishing.


Excellent. I didn't want to shell out as it's not likely to be a regular
thing.

Well, it turns out I have at my disposal a 10ft beachcaster, and
multiplier and fixed spool reels. There's a few manky old hooks and that
in there as well, but I guess they're cheap enough to replace.

I'm guessing you can buy a rig for float fishing ready made (not sure I
want to get into tying them at the minute). I don't mind spending few
quid, so it's off to find the tackle shop in Cromer.

BTW, anyone ever fish in the Wash?
