has anyone fished from dock or shore with portable fish finder and if so, how does it work?

I have not used a portable one on shore, because you need to be over the water. It sends "waves" to the bottom and when they come back up to the fish finder you see where the fish are below you, because the wave bounces off the fish and not back up to the finder, just the areas around the fish. I guess it might work on a dock, but definitely not on the shore.

the flounder in jersey just go nuts over marabou jigs.You'll need light tackle,4 lb test is perfect, but the just cant resist an eighth oz jig. I like green,yellow white and grey jigs. Bass Pro has them real cheap.There is no need to tip them with bait.I'll guarantee if you try this you'll kill them.

If you are fishing from the bank of a lake and using a regular rod and real not a fly rod then maybe I can help. I've been fishing the same lake for about 10 years.  There are many good baits out there but the two that work best for me are salmon eggs and power bait. You can get them at any walmart k mart etc. Usually spring and late fall are the best times for trout where I live. But in the summer go as early as you can or close to sun set. Use a 6-10 pound test line I prefer  a gold size 10 eagle claw hook and pinch on a small lead weight about a foot above the hook that way the weight stays on the bottom and your bait will float about 10 inches above, or you can use a slider weight. All this stuff is very inexpensive. Less then 10 bucks. It's best to get a map of the lake bottom so you know where the deep holes are and where cover is. But if you can't just try different places. Just cast as far out as you can tighten up your line a little and wait.  One little trick I use is to throw some little rocks or pebbles as far as I can where I am going to fish.But only do this once in a while. The noise will sometimes attract  fish.  When you get tired of waiting for the fish to hit your bait re-cast every 10 minutes or so in a little different place. If you get bored with bait fishing try a mepps spinner they work really well sometimes. The colder the water the better it seems.

Is a long line with buyes, every 100 yards or so, a small line with a hook and bait is atached.\nUsually is several miles long.\nThe boats leave it for a day and return to check what is been hooked. Usualy marlins and sharks, but can be anything.\nIt is not a selective method for fishing, and is prohibited in many countries.

ADVANTAGES: This particular rig has been working for hundreds of years. You almost can't go wrong. Simple and deadly. A "sinker-slide", a "Pyramid" sinker, and a "Circle" hook can catch a variety of fish including, Sheep-head, Redfish, Trout, Drum, Catfish, Croakers, Whiting, ETC.\n\nDISADVANTAGES: There really aren't many. It depends on where, and WHAT you are fishing for.\n\n Then again, If you mean this Q as an analogy, many MEN/WOMAN get "caught" "hook line & sinker", so it must work VERY well!!! lol

Sorry I'm not a guy to answer your question, but here goes anyway. The lures work plain and simple. I bought a set of them and use them for mostly large and small-mouth bass.\nThese fish seem to love them. It seems that the bigger fish like them even more. I was fishing with a crayfish and wasn't doing well at all. I changed to the Flying Lure and the second cast pulled in a 21" smallmouth. I kept catching nice size fish for the rest of the evening.I hope this helps you make your decision.\nHappy Fishin!!

Mostly luck.  I have caught a 30lb redfish on a 3" finger mullet, and a 25lb snook on a 2" DOA Terror eyez. One theory is that larger fish like small bait b/c it requires far less energy to consume them.- Florida

I live in Sussex and I asked the same question today. I haven't seen any for sale anywhere.  My hubby got one in a fishing tackle shop of all places in Angmering!

ask local fishermen.\nthe bes way i know is troling with jigs. you can also cast spoon baits from a pier or jetty, if they are in a feeding frenzy reel in fast so the bait is close 2 the surface.

I love going out on chartered fishing trips in the ocean, in fact last weekend I caught the biggest fish(small shark) and I won the jack pot. Fishing from the bank is so boring now.

If you are fishing from the side you should rather make use of the sliding sinker method.\n\nSinker = 1ft line tied to sinker end of line you must tie a swivel.\nHook = 1ft line tied to hook end of line you must tie a swivel.\n\nNow run main line through the eye of the swivel that is connected to the sinker. Now tie the main line to the swivel that is connected to the hook. Fish will now be able to swim off with the hook with out feeling the weight of the sinker

Just came back, You can catch sea trout( look for the long underwater grass and throw out a live shrimp) snook, black drum, sheeps head, redfish, the list goes on. Jack are fun as well as ladyfish. If ur lucky u might get a tarpon!

A zig rig, is for fishing floating baits on, or just under the surface, throw a sliding weight, as small as you can get away with up the main line. Then a bead, then tie on your swivel. If you are fishing 5 feet of water, try a 4 1/2 foot hooklenght, This can fool carp who have got too used to being caught off the top. It also stops ducks and moorhens taking the bait in many cases. It can work really well at times. I love doing it,, tight lines
