Fishing Bells
would it be worth setting up a fishing rod at night and camping out?
like attached to a bell so it wakes me up or something, i have no fishing experience but im doing a big cycle tour of europe and as i'd be spending almost all day cycing, im wondering weather to get a telescopic rod and set it up outside my tent when camping on the coast or would the fishies be sleeping at night, i genuinly have no clue lol someone fill me in. ta.
Wooooooowwww.....grand adventure. I love cycling in Europe but I've been lucky.
I was in Germany for a few years and from UK we get cheap flights and ferries so I've done quite a lot of Europe on a bike either camping on sites or wild camping ( not allowed in some countires, eg Slovenia and southern Germany because of the danger from bears and wolves) or staying in backpacker hostels.
Mixing both gets you a hot shower and a chance to catch up with the laundry, some good company, and relative luxury for a day or two before the next wilderness leg of the trip.
Some tips on mine here..booking hostels,campsites,etc.

The telescopic rod is a good idea. Mine is a few years old and before that I used one for eleven years that cost peanuts from a market stall in Singaore and it kept me in food from lakes and rivers and the sea just as well as an expensive rod would.
My current one is made by Shakespeare but other firms like Daiwa do good telescopics that will last a long time.
Leaving a rod unattended though isn't a good idea at all.
For that kind of fishing use a hand line. Or do as we do at home and I've also done on beach camps when the tide is right.
When there is a low tide in the evening so the high tide is overnight, peg out some short lengths of line with baited hooks way out on the sands or rocks. Use long pegs sunk deep into the sand using a rock as a mallet. Tie them to rocks if you can't peg them.
You can do it in daylight if nobody is going to get caught and injured walking around hooks and lines ....be careful with them if there are people around.
You'll need to wait for the tide to get low again to get to the hooks but overnight you're hanging around there to sleep anyway so waiting hours for the tide isn't a problem.
Strong braided line is best, which you can cut from a hand line wound onto a plastic or wooden frame bought cheaply in any seaside town.

Use 1/0 or similar hooks...ask in a fishing shop for that size or just look at the packets. It's always in big letters what size the hooks are.

Bait can be bits of fish or meat or some limpets cut from the rocks or worms dug from the sand. Limpets are good. They're tough and they stay on a hook while the sea is bashing it. Two or three on a 1/0 hook will encouage bigger fish to get interested instead of little ones.
Come back when the tide is out again and retrieve any fish you may have caught. A dozen hooks will pretty well guarantee a fish for breakfast and you might get a few.
Here's a simple way to cook limpets so if you don't get any fish you can still eat from the sea.
