just wondering.

some of you lads compile a list of fish you get in a season.
i just noticed a couple of yous have the likes of butter fish and lesser sand-eels on your lists the question is what bait and hook sizes are you using. :wink:

i get plenty of Launce by foul hooking. only ever remember fouling 1 lesser sand-eel many moons ago.

managed to lip hook a sandeel while spinning, for mini speices i use a small piece of mackeral or worm on a small hook and use light gear, ie 8ft trout rod
