Re: match angling tips
6/0 pulley rig with a full mackeral is my advice for the comps on the wexford beaches and mussel works well some times.

Re: match angling tips
Start fishing your club comps first and pay attention. Successful match angling is very hard if you intend to fish opens. You need an ultra competitive mindset in order to be successful but remember, these days, on most beaches, you're not going to be catching anything over 30cm so scale down accordingly. Give it a go and enjoy yourself.

Get a car and a driving licence. That way you won't be dependent on others for lifts

Re: match angling tips
like all angling things have moved on since you left the fold, rods that snap are the new black,hook sizes are now so small i need a magnifying glass to bait up ,you need a beach shelter that looks like a pyramid but for some reason they call it an igloo? a headlight for night fishing that cost more than a months mortgage and a silly hat ! oh i forgot you started that one !
