Tackle for sea fishing, Part 1

I have my computer to thank for handing me a new slant on cod fishing from the shore after it reunited me with an old fishing pall.

I am not afraid of computers, but because of the increased amount of work I do on a computer I had always shied away from using it for social networking other than getting my Daiwa seat box online. But, like many, I finally gave in to signing up for a facebook account, and that is how I managed to once again hook up with my old pall J, who I had not seen for about 10 years. Both J and I are from Cambridge, and probably started our fishing lives in the same way, fishing local rivers.

The last time I saw J he was working as a chef in Cambridge so I was totally surprised to find out he now lived in Cromer 鈥?just a few miles up the road from me in Great Yarmouth. He sea fishes all the time and, like me, also works in the sea fishing industry running one of the greatest uk fishing tackle shops – Angling Directfishing tackle wholesale superstore.

As soon as we had reacquainted ourselves, we were both talking about fishing and organised a trip to meet up somewhere around Norfolk to target the early run of winter cod. The cod start to show in late September and the volume of fish increases over each following set of spring tides. The cod, or rather codling, are in the 1lb to 3lb class with the odd better -sized fish here and there 鈥?the bigger cod usually arrive after Christmas. It was this early run of codling we wanted to target and for cod fishing marks in the channel, it鈥檚 really hard to beat the area around Norfolk’s Beaches.

When you are fishing with other anglers, and doing features like this, you have a duty to protect some information, such as location or type of discount fishing tackle in particular the precise mark otherwise you will rapidly lose friends. But J was happy to reveal the exact location of where we fished, so that everyone can enjoy this mark. Most anglers flock to Cromer beach because it fishes well, but J prefers somewhere slightly different 鈥?an area nearby known to local anglers as the rocks.

Instead of following the crowd towards the town centre car park, park your car in the town centre on the main road and then walk down towards the water, past the uk fishing tackle shop. There you will find some of the best codling fishing in Norfolk. As for specific marks, the whole of the Cromer coast fishes well.

J prefers to pick the points that jut out from the bends in the beach because he knows that the ground beneath the water in these areas is somewhat different to the ground either side. Whereas much of the beach is shingle and sand, these points feature a lot of broken, rocky ground and this is where the cod are going to be looking for food, and one particular type at the top of their list 鈥?crab which you can also get in a little discount fishing tackle shop on the coast of Cromer. This is where we stopped to stock up our tackle Daiwa seat box and get bait for out fishing session. It’s a handy little fishing tackle wholesale store with a good selection of products.
