My youngest boy wanted to go catch the mullet he had spotted at the end of the canal gates -
We went back the next day for him to target his first, within 10 minutes of floating bread on the surface this lovely fish inhaled the hovis flake, struck and fish onnnn 🎣 after he got a good scrap from it she slipped into the net, quick photo and then released.

Mission accomplished and a happy lad 🐟

Cracking bycatch and a new PB 💥

Disco Dan was out with his nephew putting him on some smoothounds when Dan's rod arched over and the ratchet screamed off, he originally thought he was into a unit of a hound. After a decent fight this 22lb5oz Tope surfaced and a nice bycatch personal best tope for Dan while fishing 3/0 Octopus dongle pulley rig

🎣 Targeting Tope from the Shore – Get Your Tackle Right! 🦈
When you're chasing one of the hardest-fighting fish in UK waters, your tackle needs to be up to the job. Here's the setup I trust:
🎣 Rods - beach casters, something up to the job and reliable
Zulcron XT 435
Zziplex HST
Century T1000

⚙️ Reels A strong, reliable reel is essential. Penn Fathoms, Daiwa Saltists, or a quality fixed spool with plenty of cranking power and a solid gear system will all do the job.

🧵 Main Line I tend to use 18lb Varivas Yellow Sport thanks to its low diameter for maximum casting distance, but any quality 18lb+ mono will work. If you're fishing rough ground, don't be afraid to step up in strength.

🔗 Shock Leader Match your leader to your casting weight and casting power. I recommend 100lb leader material for abrasion resistance and the confidence to put a big bait out safely.

🪝 Rigs Keep it simple:
Heavy pulley pennels
Pulley dongle rigs
Wire bite trace (essential)
Finish them with strong 8/0 circle hooks, octopus hooks or J-hooks.

⚓ Leads Choose a lead big enough to match your bait. If the lead is too light, large baits will spin during the cast and cost you valuable distance. Grippleads are my go-to for holding bottom and ensuring solid hook-ups.

🐟 Baits Fresh is always best!
Half mackerel
Double squid
Herring
Sardines
Bluey
Secure every bait tightly with plenty of bait elastic or latex to keep it streamlined during the cast.

🌊 Conditions Matter Tope are often at their best around the flooding tide and high water, especially where deep channels or gullies are within casting range. A gentle to moderate swell can help, but always put safety first. Many anglers also find fishing improves during falling or lower atmospheric pressure ahead of a weather front, as it can encourage fish to feed more actively. Always check the latest tide and marine forecast before heading out.

💪 Get your tackle right, fish fresh bait with confidence, and when that rod hoops over... hold on tight!
Tight lines and good luck! 🎣🦈

41lb 10oz PB TOPE 👇🏻
Kyle has been searching for a big girl recently and after finding plenty of 20s and lots of hours put in, this one gave him a good scrap even after it was up on the pebbles 😅
A new personal best - the phone call said it all as soon as she was back in the water 💦

Great angling mate and well deserved 👊🏻
