Oh and someone told me use cod liver oil capsules. Probably a wind up but hey cant hurt to try;)
 
@Woodlander

Might be worth taking a small garden spade along next time mate......there maybe some Lug worms about (normally see little curly casts in the sand) if they are about........white rag worm at the low tide mark too......go down two to three spade depths........and sift through the sand with your hands......be sure to fill the holes you dig!!
Peeler crab are deadly for the flounders and Bass.......but VERY expensive unless you can forage for your own.
With both peeler crab and frozen sandeel you need to use elastic cotton to bind the bait onto the hook.
Worth having a Mackerel or two along as well.....good all-round bait to have........keep all bait out of the sun and cool if you can:thumbsup:

Had any bites yet??:)

Fishing is a funny old game when you first start out mark......as we both no doubt remember :)
I was lucky enough to have a good mate who was right up on it and only too willing to help me along.
So much out there these days tackle wise......my first beach caster was an ABU 484 and what a cracking rod it was too.....accounted for some good fish back in the day :):thumbsup:

True buddy
A can still remember sitting at my grans burn (small stream) with a branch and line,hook and bread as bait catching brown trout. Must have only been 6 or 7 .

Funny enough bill it was an ABU I had for my first beach-caster. Black and green.
