Tip of the day,

Heres my tip for today, hope everyone can find it in their heart to add some more!

When spearing Bass, especially spooky ones, attach a squidie (plastic squid shaped lure) to the front of your gun. (I attach mine at the front line attachment point.) A nice bright contrasting colour is best.. even better with a bit of glitter on it. While it wont attract bass, it will cause a few of them to stop for a closer look, or come a little closer than usual to check it out. Giving you an extra second to get the shot off..

Joe

Re: Tip of the day,

As im feeling generous today I'll throw in a second one,

After mullet? But having difficulty getting them to come close enough or slow down enough to get a shot off? Take a slice of bread with you and mush it up in the water, Mullet love bread!

Re: Tip of the day,

I carry a small pair of line cutting shears ( Beaver do a pair for £7-£8 ) on my float , when gutting/descaling spikey fish like Bass or bream in the water snip off the spines/spikes first , no more spiked fingers .

Re: Tip of the day,

Oooo like that one.. hate spiked fingers... alternative to cutting a hole in your socks is just to walk down to Church Ope in them... guaranteed holes! lol

My tip is if you do that, dont let anyone see you walking down the beach.

Re: Tip of the day,

Keep you knife/knives razor sharp, clean them well after each dive and keep them sharp. It might save your life one day. Make sure the straps haven't perished.

Re: Tip of the day,

Less serious then...
If you get run over by an idiot in a speed boat be sure to find him at the slip and punch his lights out. (Mind you be prepared to be charged, stupid legal system!)

Good for cutting a hole in your socks too (to let the piss drain out). Watch out for your toes though.

Re: Tip of the day,
