BUT - in the meanwhile stick with the methods you know (work down the
beach taking a couple of short casts between each beachcaster - that
way you get to pick the brains of all of 'em.) My guess is you'll do
better than most and
not be tempted to switch gear for a long while...

Cheerio,

Nice one Derek... thanks for the pointers. Was watching one chap pull in a
decent size LSD with a 12ft broom handle and he says "Didn't even know it
was on there!" So much lead and tide that he never noticed the bite or even
the extra weight pulling it in.. Very "detached" fishing..

I think i will wait a few weeks for the decent Mackerel and keep fingers
crossed for Bass. I seemed to be getting lighter and lighter in Devon,
almost fly fishing. If i can use enough weight to get the distance and sink
the lure behind the breaking waves on these sloping beaches i'll be happy i
think.
