Any advice on beach fishing in the summer being new to this i thought spinning only in summer. I have been lucky spinning but enjoy beachcasting and was wonder will this produce fish as it will in winter.

hey costa, yup conventional bottom fishing will work very well over the summer months, ranging from flatfish and doggies, upto rays and tope. where abouts are you based, and what kind of venues do you usually/intend to fish? if you let us know where you fish, the lads on the forum will be more than happy to set you straight. problem is, your question is so broad, i could write a small book here for you, and still not cover alot of the aspects that may be relevant to you, and your marks. fill us in with a few more details on what you'd like to set out to catch etc, and i'll hopefully be able to offer some kind of sound advice.

Cheers,
Patrick

Depends where you're fishing mate, But I'd say stick to the sort of rigs you'd use during the winter...
When I got out in the Summer I take the K2, The Uptider, and the Spinning Rod, So I can fish 2 Rods on the Bottom as usual and Fire feathers with the Spinning Rod to try to pick up some Fresh Bait...
Which is hell this year due to the face that there ARE NO FLIPPING MACKERAL!!!
Try 2 Hook Scratchers baited with Rag, Mackeral, Sandeel, Squid Combos and that should get some species interested. :D

Hi k2 mate we have fished a few time together. Pookies mate north forum one thats talks wierd as from portugal lol.

Did you say you spin of the beach? And were would you suggest to beach fish this time of year. Also any deap wter marks you know off that you can use beachcaster for bottom work and spinn too.

I know you a north down man but any were do.

Also forum meets any coming up as always good crac. Heading to bangor with rob in a few weeks to wrasse can you spinn in the harbour and what for.

Sorry, Im a Pier monkey, I don't spin of a beach... I wasn't thinking straight Joe... lol
Im trying to get a Portaferry Trip Organised within the next few weeks... Waiting to see how many replies I can get on the Buddies thread entitled 'Alright Northern boys, time for another one'...
I still havent fished Bangor Properly for Wrasse, Im sure spinning would produce Coalies, Pollack and Mackeral though... 8)

can you get wrasse in portaferry and what kind of spinner will jelly worms and sandeel work

I'd say stick to silver spinners til you Guage the size of the Pollack/Coalies... IF there's Clonkers showing maybe Jellyworms or Deep Spun Sandeel would do the Job...
