I will travel to Scotland near Edinburgh for a week, and was thinking about doing some BFS fishing with my ultralight casting rod. Now, all the lakes/rivers I could find near are only for fly fishing, for which I do not have equipment.

So I decided I give a try to fish the sea from the coast. Are there any licence needed for this, any recommendations, piece of advice is very well welcomed.

Thank you!

I've got a Mavllos Resolute rod and a Histar Aurora Air reel. I want to go fishing in small lakes, rivers. Mostly for chub, maybe perch.

I am having hard time picking soft bait and fitting hook size and wight. Not sure whats the general rule.

Was looking for soft baits on aliexpress, Supercontinent copies of Tanta and Awaruna in 5cm (around 2inch) size looks good to me but I am unsure, and especially about hook size and weight.

Thanks.
