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.

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

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

at least your honest eric i suppose your going to do the decent thing and edit your species list for 2007

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
