I use a piece of panty hose with at least a kg of sand in it for weight tied just above the wire leader. The panty hose tears open when a fish is on and dumps the sand.

We have also caught large sharks within short casting distance from the beach which makes you think when swimming or bathing... :?
I’m close but too damned daft to understand.

Boat is out on anchor 300 yards offshore. Rope is all the way into the beach, or two ropes?

You pull the boat in and the other line takes the bait out attached to fishing rod.

Then how does the fishing setup release from the tow line?

Thanks for any. I don’t think I can keep a boat 300 yards out, but maybe a buoy..

Getting in the boat is easy with a loop anchor system and then we carry the bait out and drop it.
