One of the most important bits of kit you can own is your trusty tripod but it can be a difficult decision to make especially when buying online with limited photographs to guide you to making the right choice. We decided we needed to do a guide on exactly what features you are getting for your money.

Making your own rod tip lights

admin — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 14:52:55 +0000

Xmas has gone and money in short supply i made myself some tiplights for next to nothing
I like to tinker about with anything, and ive come up with a tip light which i made and tried out and it really does work.
Firstly i went to my local 99p shop and found a pack of 4 lighters with small lights built in.
Just unscrew the tiny screw and slide the light section out..

next get a pen top and cut it down to the size so that when the bulb is pushed into the pen top the bulb is just sticking out.

now when you push the bulb into the pen top, because its cone shaped and it gets smaller, as it gets tighter the metal tag is pushed down together and it forms a switch,(theres no soldering or anything) and the bulb lights up. don’t force it in too much or you will have trouble pulling it out

there are 2 plastic prongs on the bulb at the back which you can use them to pull the bulb out.
you now can tape the the pen tip to your rod end or break the plastic off the pen tip and just tape the cone bit on..
hey presto a tip light for nothing and you still have 4 working lighters

I tried them out last night and they worked fine, it was just getting dark and not pitch black.

Heysham – Winter Cod fishing

admin — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 13:33:01 +0000

ok as i couldn’t get to liverpool i thought i would try my luck on the north wall thinking it would be the usual pin whiting and dabs.

so got there about half 7 quarter to 8, it was blowing a gale with side ways wind i thought i must be mad why am i here on the crappy north wall (soon to eat my words) i should be in liverpool chasing fat coddos lol

set up baited up cast out bang little bite in the gale force wind
resulted in this little blighter

caught on blow lug
happy i had beat the blank on my first cast i proceded to carry on thinking well it could have been worse might have come and caught bugger all, second cast resulted in another

and then another

followed by a double header of the smallest whiting and a small dab
the whiting went on the hook as live bait

then i saw a couple of blokes walking down the wall towards me to introduce them selves one of which was bait digger nice bloke if i must say who said he had a rather nice coddo he said his camera had died, so me being a genorous bloke walked half a mile down the wall to be greeted by this bugger lol

wow i thought there here, there on the north wall i was gob smacked thought the wall was shite lol so took a few more for him there is 1 picture of a young lad who was fishing with bait digger who has 2 small codling

nice too meet you bait digger nice fish and a nice bass enjoy your fish suppers for the next few days

anyway i was full of beans and fishing full of anticipation i ran back to my rod and it was a blank,

the young lad who holding the too coddos came over with some bait and said they was leaving so i waited until they left and poached there spot lol

i got there and caught these little bait robbing fish

like what i did with that sign haha

then it went dead for an hour catching bugger all i thought ah well last cast a bit gutted i aint caught a cod but hey thats fishing then this little fish struck like it was the last supper or something

i thought i can’t go now there just starting to bite again and its a baby cod (safley returned) there has got to be a bigger one out there so i used the last of my bait on a 1/0 2 hook flapper casted it about 70yards, just as i was rolling a smoke BANG BANG BANG my rod went!1!!!!!!!!! i shit myself gently struck into it YES fish on ”this aint no witing ” , i said praying like the pope at the armeggedon, please land this fish please get up the wall i will go to church every sunday for a WEEK lol, then i landed it my second ever decent cod chuffed to bits i was, did my little cod dance, it spat a load of shrimp out of its gob which i used as bait but to no avail. and a average size chewed up whiting
anyway glad i went heres a few piccies of my coddo not as bit asd bait diggers but hey i was over the moon

got home at half 12,

bait was blow lug, fish wouldfnt entertain black not even the whiting.

cheers for reading guys i going to bed a happy man tonight

Anyfish Anywhere Bait-Pak Review

admin — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 20:49:06 +0000

I first spotted these properly when fishing with Sam (GentleGiant) a few weeks ago… I have to say, they are absolutely brilliant!! But then, the simplest of ideas usually are.

The Bait Pak is basically a cool bag, with a carry handle, that straps onto your tripod using velcro. Simple, but really handy!! – And only £15!!

The Bait Pak comes with three velcro straps, which can be positioned anywhere around it using the loops in the stitched webbing around the outside.

For me, this is one of the handiest bits of kit and perfect for fishing low water marks where you are constantly moving up and down the beach and stood in the water.

As above, all the straps are adjustable to suit the position of your tripod, keeping all your bits and bobs just at hand!!!

There is plenty of room for a few rigs, a couple of leads and even a spare reel! – As well as your bait of course!!
