Sea fishing!

[MattyF]

Now that's a sea trout!! Caught in the estuary? My PB is 11lb but been in the river and black as owt !! Do get some sparklers earlier in the season though.

Had 27 sea trout last season , this year was for about 6 , they say commercial netting does not effect the runs but it's hard to not think that due to COVID they where not operating at peak run time last year and the result was pretty amazing...
I was reading that north East Sea trout go to feed in Norway in deeper waters which is why they get so big unlike the west coat sea trout which just stay off the coast.
Any way amazing fish.

I dont target sea Trout but...

 

I have caught them on a long line,one time I caught three on the same string. In winter they feed right up to the water's edge.I caught a 8 pounder in about 2cm of water beleive it or not. I could hear it splashing as I went down through the forest to check the long line.

 

This was using Mackrell chunks for bait.

First photo is 6,12 and not sure if that was a ferrox or a sea trout, the 2nd one was ferrox of 12,02 and the 3rd one all so a ferrox of 16,14, I had targeted a ferrox for many years but with zero results and then the 2 fish in the last 2 photos where caught with in 24 hrs of each other on the same water but about 5 miles apart, other lads had been catching them for several years but lady luck was not on my side until these 2 came along,

Not a fish but something from a house clearance, probably obsolete but thought I'd see if anyone wanted it as a gift before I try elsewhere. I've no idea if it works.
