Questions we get asked

Short answers to the things people ask before they get in touch.

Will you tell me your marks?

The general areas, yes — the pages cover plenty. The exact spots for the fragile rough-ground marks I keep back, because that's how they stay worth fishing. Ask and I'll point you in a sensible direction.

What tackle do you use?

Nothing exotic. Honest shore gear that survives rough ground and salt. The tackle page goes into it, and I'd rather you spent on the right trace than the shiniest reel.

Is this a shop?

No. There's nothing to buy and no affiliate links. It's a logbook that happens to be public, written by someone who fishes the coast and writes it down.

How do I read the tides and weather pages?

Start with the session logs — they tie a mark to the state of tide and the conditions that actually produced fish. The theory makes more sense once you've seen it applied.

Can I send you a photo of a catch?

Please do. I love seeing what the coast gives up, and if you're happy for it, the odd reader's fish ends up on the site with a credit.
