Hi TB,
Fishing is not just about catching fish, it's the whole experience of angling, each trip you should have learned something more, ie: weather conditions, bait, tide, location and so on.
With time you will start to build up a picture and knowledge.

Its now time everthing should pick up, bass should be in good numbers soon searching for crab and sandeel, smoothound are already showing as are rays and congers, great tides coming up, you should see a improvment. Peeler crab is the bait for april/may off the beach but hard to come by at mo  |
