We spend the morning learning approaches to shore fishing and techniques and making our own traces.
I got a lot from the trace making as previously I found it a bit off-putting but not any longer. Sure you can buy rigs reasonably cheaply but now I know exactly what's going into the rig and how strong it is, also being able to adjust a rig to suit the conditions is essential in my book.
Following a short break we went to the beach and with a few casting lessons were fishing in no time at all, using the rigs we made earlier. Throughout this session we covered bait preparation & presentation. Also learnt about picking out the better spots on a beach to fish.
Overall I would recommend this course to anyone who's starting out shore fishing or looking to improve.
I had my 9yr along for the day too and he really enjoyed it, and caught his first flounder which left him really pleased with himself!
