Hi all, had a small (plate size) flattie, caught on worm for my first sea
trip. only had a few hours, pressure from the wife and kids.
I think I may buy some grip leads as the current/tide was moving the bait
around and bringing it in quite a bit, only had bomb type leads so I think
that was the problem plus I need to get the tides right! But what fun! tried
floating later on but the sea mist/fog soon put a stop to that! couldn't
even see the sea let alone the float!. Managed a fair distance with 3oz
lead, without over stressing the rod which pleased me. Next time out I will
wade out to get the extra distance with a heavier lead. regards, Lee.
