Winter spinning....?

Sun Sep 22, 2013 1:31 am

With winter on the way, I've decided that this year I'll give it a go during it. I usually stop fishing between October and February, as I didn't have the clothes for it, but I have now so I'll give it a go!..

Usually when I'm bait fishing, I have my two rods out and spin with a third, so my question is....
Is it worth spinning during the winter?...and is there much to catch on a spinner or even feathers??

Cheers (I know it's two questions!!:) )

You can catch coalies whiting and possibly little codling using feathers , but lrf is great if its calm enough, you can get lots more species,sorry that I'm nt much help, good luck:)

I agree with bassboy - lrf tactics mean you can target small pollock and whiting from harbours in winter. I've picked up a few codling as well with the lrf rod this summer which hopefully is a good omen for winter. Herring are great sport too on light tackle.
