mini species

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:

got my sprats and sandeels while feathering for macks and the like, foul hooked tbh, and i specificity target some of the smaller species using coarse gear :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :D

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

i had a very funny feeling about foul hooking :lol: at least your honest eric i suppose your going to do the decent thing and edit your species list for 2007 :shock: :lol: :wink:

Ive caught launce on the fly not foul hooked or anything right in the mouth, got it on a blue and whit deciever size 1 hook.

nope not at all, never :shock: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: their none the wiser

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

for most of my dangling i use a 4 fot 6 bait caster ,1 ounce lead and a size2 - 8 hook depending what i'm after and a small piece of mackerel or worm tail .
