going fishing in cornwall next month - some advice please?
Hi, I'm not a fisherman although I've done a little when i was younger. I'm going on a 4 or five day hike along the Lizard some time next month - just me and a backpack - and I thought it would be nice to try a bit of fishing, so I bought a shimano telescopic rod with a 30g cast weight (because it folds up to about 35cm and it's over 9ft long when extended). So I'm thinking that mackerel, flatties and bass are probably my most likely catches, but I'm not sure if the rod's strong enough, and although I've done a little reading and remember how to tie all the knots and stuff, I really don't know how to catch fish. Will the mackerel be around in June? Will my rod cope with bass and flatfish? What fish would you recommend I try to catch bearing in mind I'm trying to save on weight?
Can you think of any tackle or techniques that would be particularly suitable?
Any other advice much appreciated
Thanks!
The rod should state the capacity one the side somewhere. If the water temp is below 65 degrees f then stick to live local bugs, worms , or other live bait. If over 65 then try silver mepps # 1 spinners with no fuzz, and plastic worms. ( Black or green)
