The Poacher Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Went down the local beach with the kids again - and got some fish - again. Its been a great summer. Theres no secret to the success, I buy $10 worth of worms, using #6 long shanks and fish a high - ish tide. THe kids love it. I often just hook the fish, let it settle down, and call them over to hold the rod. Soon they get bored and want to wind it in, only to realise there is a fish on - they think they are gurus!!! One day soon, I wont get a bite, and none of us will know what to do! Its going to happen sooner or later. Anyway, get out there raiders.

The beach is such a great environment for the kids and a fish. I take my little girls down on the beach where I can fish, they can play in the sand & squeal the beach down when I hook up a fish and reel it in for them to see lol.

MikeyR Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Steve, You're setting some bloody high standards for the rest of us to keep up to! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poacher Posted March 11, 2011 Author Share Posted March 11, 2011 Thanks all, Mikey R - I promise they are not high standards. I honestly can't believe how good the beach has been this year, and how easy. You got to get out there!!! One trick I am happy to share is that I do use 8lb fluorocarbon leader. Snapper and jewfish are hard to catch, but not whiting off the beach on a worm. Anyway Mikey, hope to see you soon, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
