If it's only sea fishing you are looking for on tips,rigs ect then the sea Angler is quite good,but
as the lad's above say you will get more from this site,i.e whats being caught and where,also
the baits that are proving to produce the fish and where fish are being caught,also there are
some great report's put up,and most of us are willing to help,so if you PM the lads on this site
me included then you will get an idea of what is being caught in your area and the best baits
/lures and state of the tides that are producing the fish,then you cant go far wrong hope this
help's

Good Luck
and
Tightlines

True this site is brilliant ive learned alot on here! Plus its a great way for Anglers to get to know eachother and share tips! :D Try Total Sea Fishing i get it in my local Easons for 4.69! Does anyone else here get it? i tink its great and there is usually always a free gift that comes in useful. There is free floating beads with Novembers issue and last month had a Dvd About bait,rigs,tactics and loads more which i found good! Theres not as much advertising as in Sea Angler but i still think Sea Angler is good aswell :) Each To His Own Though

I usually get both mags, last months total sea fishing had a good dvd from ultima, but as everyone says, this site is probably the best source of information for irish fishing. Just have to look at the catch reports, look at the rigs and baits used and then give them a try yourself.
Good things come to those who bait.

Do teh subscription to Total Sea Fishing. You get a load of free gear and get it delivered to your door. I had it on subscription for 4 years and then stopped as I noticed that they began to re-hash old articles. Excellent Magazine, bit UK centric but other than that can't fault it. Get it for the year, get the free gear and then stop ;)
