Sea fishing isn`t so easy nowadays but if you like to eat what you catch you could always try a trout fishery
I haven`t been in a while but I do like to send a fly out for a trout and I love to bake one too why not? Fewer fish? I thought you could still throw in a line with 6 feathers on and at least reel in one or two an hour? Mind you I'm talking about 25 years ago. Lots might have changed
Very true, on the south coast around Hampshire it has become very hard, OK you do get the odd day/night, but most of the time one good fish and that's your lot. Winter time after Whiting you will get a few more, if your looking for cod try Sainsburys on the way home
Most definitely fewer fish due to overfishing the past 30 years or so. Yes, you can still be lucky and have the odd great day but invariably it`s a struggle. Even for the small trawlers!
If you are struggling the best thing to do is have a chat with other anglers at the venue you`re on. Alternatively there are lots of good vids on youtube you can look at. As an angler, who has fished all over the place, I never hesitate to try to get info from locals 🎣
I`ve never added it all up but if you consider I pay around £150 on average per rod and around £80 per reel and I have, I think, mid 30`s of each! There are also all the bed chairs, bivvies, nets, trolleys, boxes, floats, hooks, lines and sinkers! It runs into many thousands over the years!
