The title says it all really,
Is there a specific season for sea fishing.
Thanks Station

Edit, When buying sea fishing kit is there anything in particular to look out for?

You can rod-and-line fish all year round in the sea,no specific set season,though certain fish are seasonal like mackerel,bass,and cod.

There's no closed season for sea angling, seasons are really dictated by fish availability due to migration patterns. No rod license required either. But the minimum sizes permitted for sea fish apply to sea angling as well as commercial fishing boats, undersized fish have to be thrown back.

Cheers folks!!

Wen buying ya sea fishing gear think bigger IS better works for me

All my m8s i go fishing with think my gear is a bit over kill........But hey Leepy dont loose fucking nothing apart from a seal one time

Stay away from multipliers unless you are match fishing.

using a multiplier is an art form when beach fishing it that jamming ya thumb to stop the spool esp with draylon line friction burn thumb

spelling

Dunno if you looked at that site, but there's a section in the FAQ on sea angling tackle that goes into what tackle is best for shore fishing, beach casting, boat fishing etc.

cheers booj bookmarked that for when head is working.

any1 know what the legal minimum size for bass is?
i thought it was over 15inches but mate at work reckons 14inch?
any1 know the official rule for bass

At moment it's still 36cm...there are various groups lobbying for this to be raised to 40-42cm, this will ensure that the bass have had a chance to spawn, as 36cm not all bass will have done so.....

Get out there, thwere's plenty of bass about this year

Monk...x

this need doing

thers a lot of people using lures for bass round our way now ,light tackle and a few lures away you go
there are large shoals of mackerel about too ,not seen shoals like it since i was a kid ,long time

mate sent me this last week ,he was well chuffed

When I started sea fishing, I made a point of tasting every kind of fish, and I'm happy to say I would put most of them back - especially bass - which I reckon's highly over-rated.
I wonder if I'm the only sea angler who always carries a drop / landing net and an unhooking mat ? (The latter, of course being mostly used to sit on no matter wherever I'm fishing.

I reckon our best fish is freshly caught mackerel... though I'd have a job putting a black bream back .. and I'm quite partial to the odd pollack.

I like to fish light myself, and one really neat thing I discovered recently is the 2 ounce breakaway lead.

It never fails to amaze the wealth of knowledge on this site.

I wish i could sea fish, i live miles away from the sea

That's the problem for most of us - and unless you keep going back to the same holiday place and hence get to know it, it's difficult to actually catch fish.... that and being at the mercy of the tides - it's difficult to chuck spinners and flies about when surrounded by bathers !

E2A: I don't think leepy was joking

bro it takes us about 4.5hrs to drive to were we go shark fishing then another 3hr steaming out on the boat so 7.5hrs befor we even drop a line in the water

he dont tho mucka my reel is like a fucking winch my line would proberbly tow a small car

hello, get yourself on world sea fishing forums, the uk420 of the sea fishing world, if its not on there you don't need to know! lots of luck, gg xxx

cheers for the replies on the legal bass size 14 inch it is then!!

that pic of them 2 bass is beautifull would of been more beautifull if they had been returned but hey ho i also keep the odd one for my nan to eat, my dad and grandad were fishermen so she loves a nice bit of fresh fish.

i go for the light line spinning plugging approach, i would like to do commercial rod and line bass fishing but looking into it even a cheapo set up is around 10k and im sure it would take me a couple years min to suss it out but some peeps round my way are regularly earning a good whack

leepy man your posts are soooo funny its quality u r like the pepsi max style hero of 420. from growing to fishing to fighting you like to do everything BIG glad to hear the seal got away though!

Thats dedication for ya fella

i guess i dont have the excuse then
