Checking your Mainline
You never know if your next cast could hook up with that fish of a life time that will take your line to its limits. Checking the mainline can be done by simply running your thumb and index finger along the line were it is subject to damage at the end of your line caused from rocks, shells or rough sand. If you feel any roughness you should change the line. View our range of sea fishing lines

Lure Fishing from the shore.
Latex and other imitation sea fishing lures attract a large variety of species such as Bass, Pollock, and Mackerel all lures have different methods on how they should be fished, some are a copy of a real bait fish and some just spoons or rubber strips. We recommend the following lures, Bass Bandit, Sidewinder, Skaliwags Mackerel Stripe and the famous Dexter Wedge. They can all be found in our extensive lures section. However there is something for everyone and a lot boils down to the venue and success rate. Catching a Big Bass off a lure on the shoreline is very rewarding which is why so many sea anglers become totally addicted.
Safety whilst fishing.
Remember your sea fishing tackle can be replaced but your life cannot, beware of tides and dangerous rock marks! Always plan, best advice is to purchase a Floatation suit from a reputable source. We stock a selection of high quality floatation suits in our clothing section.
