Hi all, I went out last night for my first proper attempt at finding a hound or two. I met with a couple of mates and we got set up. Fishing a low water mark, we were very early and still had about 3hrs of ebb to wait for as they usually show on the flood. The time wasn’t wasted though as we had...

Hi all! I’ve not been on here for too long and for that I apologise. Truth be told, fishing has been tough the last couple of months down Kent way and although I have been catching, nothing has really been exciting enough to warrant any more than brief posts on Face Ache. However, Saturday night...

Hi all, I ventured out to an E.Kent mark Tuesday night to meet up with a good friend, Terry, for a dangle. I arrived later than hoped because of work and family commitments, Terry was already set up and had been fishing a couple of hours or so. By all accounts, he’d already had 2 small hounds...

Hi all, Another fairly productive night on the hounds last night. Had 2 in quick succession not long after dark at 8lbs 1oz and 10lbs exactly (always nice to get a double in!). Beyond that, things went ominously quiet until the tide eventually turned. Again, in reasonably quick succession, 2...

I’ve been having a shocking time on the beach lately, missing or dropping fish left, right and centre, not to mention losing gear to snags and overruns. I wasn’t optimistic at all when I headed out last night, expecting a weed fest but surprisingly, it wasn’t too bad! My first venue saw me...

Hi all! Not posted in a while mainly because the fishing has been sh*notverygood!! Anyway, I’m on holibobs with the family and unlike previous excursions whereby I’ve had to make do with crappy telescopic rods, this time I’ve built a roof box and I have my big boy rods!! Woot!! I’m staying...

Hi all! After a weekend of competition in the boat with my dad, I missed my regular Saturday night session on the beach and was itching to get out. Monday nights forecast didn’t look bad for wind but if I went, I was gonna get a soaking!! I decided to take it on and set out about 7:30 in the...

Hi all, just a brief report…. Went out of Dover on Saturday evening on Chloe-Jo charters with Billy White. It was a nice opportunity to take my 9yr old son Ollie out and hopefully land a few fish. Well, unfortunately, the fish didn’t really get the memo!! We had a fair few doggies between us...

Hi all. As is usually the way, I headed out Saturday night to a fairly local beach to target a ray or two and maybe even look for an early hound. It was a nice calm night out and was steadily producing dogs but not in silly numbers, just enough to keep interest going. Eventually, I found my...

Hi all, not reported for ages but I’ve just put up a nice report in Wales section after a week away, thought y’all might like it! https://www.talkseafishing.co.uk/forums/threads/not-a-bad-1st.5864/

Hi all! I’ve just got back from a beautiful weeks holiday with my family in Pembrokeshire. We were staying in an ideallic static caravan overlooking some stunning scenery on a lovely lady’s estate, it was awesome! So much so, my family and I are genuinely considering relocating to this part of...

Hi all, having not been out much over the Christmas break and certainly having had no success on the couple of occasions I did get out, as soon as new year was done, I was out on the shingle New Year’s Day. It was a slow session, starting from high water and fishing down the tide I managed just...

Hi all, an opportunity has presented itself to me to fish the Padstow area of Cornwall!! I’m only getting one night on the 9th January so I don’t want to waste my night hunting for a reasonable looking mark. Do any of you lovely people have any suggestions? Those who know me will no I’m not...

Hi all, So after a lot of umm-ing and ahh-ing about whether to head out again on Wednesday night after a late one Monday, I finally made my mind up, got my chores done and headed out. I’d done alright on Monday at this mark, eeking a 3lbs ray out among the whiting and dogs but I was convinced...

Hi all. Recently, I’ve been out with a couple of mates who have only just properly gotten into sea fishing. I’ve been helping them out a bit, suggesting purchases and showing them what’s what here and there. It’s been nice to share my experience and apparently, a little knowledge. So, last night...

Hi all, I headed out last night fairly locally as I’d heard of the odd ray coming up and thought I’d chance my arm. I arrived shortly after 7pm with high penned for 10:10pm, quickly getting set up with both rods loaded with bluey and fired out as far as my little arms allow. I was getting a...

Hi all, So, last night (Saturday) my daughter had a friend over for a sleep over whilst my wife had 2 friends round for drinks… there was only one thing for me to do, hit the beach!! I was going to try a LW spot on the N.Kent coast but the wind changed its mind and went from 4mph NW to 15mph NW...

Hi all, So I’d been planning a trip to North Wales in search of a tope for many months and on Thursday night, the time had finally arrived!! I set off from home in Kent around 7:30pm for a very long drive. Thankfully, the roads were behaving themselves and including a dinner break and a couple...

Hi all. So I was invited out by a group of mates on Wednesday night to fish a fairly prolific hound spot. With the weed the way it’s been and the distinct lack of hounds after the warm spells, I was less than optimistic about it. Nevertheless, I thought I’d show willing and go along but decided...

Hi all, so I’m not long back from my holibobs with the family. We spent 5 days in Burry Port near Llanelli, South Wales before travelling around to near Watchet in Somerset for another 5 days. We couldn’t have asked for better weather, the whole time was scorchio!! Being a family holiday and the...
