Hi all, is it just me, or has it gone very quiet? I've had a few fish but nothing special, dropped a nice eel, and had a couple high singles and a few rays and small bass, but only a couple of fish a trip, and some blanks 😭 Highlight though was this beauty for my species hunt 😍 Hopefully once...

Plymouth fireworks this week, so down yesterday in the van with the Mrs..... Mountbatten carpark the destination.....which allowed for a crack at the elusive Topknots! I've never landed one, closest I've come was lifting one out and having it fall off at Poole 🙈.... nightmare. Anyway, we were...

Finally after threatening a poaching session on Goatee's area for ages, I had a couple days free this week....tides were rubbish locally so a plan was hatched to top up my species count. I went through what I'd caught and sorted a list of targets for the trip, and possible locations on route to...

Ah this wind has been such a pain locally, I got on the phone and ordered some worm down Weymouth!..... Tiddlers were the target.... hopefully a Baillons wrasse, Gilthead bream, black bream ...and maybe a scad if I stayed till dark. I fished the piers, harbour for the afternoon and evening, it...

The weather looked good last night, and I fancied a few hours fishing, unfortunately after an unsuccessful attempt at getting any worm I decided on an easy ray bash. Hopefully I could find a SE for my species hunt. I've not had one this year yet, but have seen the odd ones coming out, so...

Hi all, just back from a few days in Cornwall/Devon with the Mrs. Had a cracking couple of days in Fowey. Mullet rods out for a few hours the 2nd morning for a couple of nice ballans, 2 bass, a dog and a black goby. Then the last day had a little rod out...11 Dragonets 👀, lots of Ballans and...

As the local fishing has been dire, I've not bothered since my tiddler bash a couple weeks back, and getting restless I saw a break in the weather and decided to get my ass in gear and go try for a ray and a hound. As I arrived the rain started to come down lightly, and it was pretty much on...

Hi all, been slacking with reports again, so as I had a few fish this week on a short trip to Devon with the Mrs, thought I'd do my bit and post a quick report. I started with a couple of hours in the rockpools, not something I normally do, but I had a couple of targets I needed. The fishing...

Hi all, not much to report recently unfortunately, just the same old stuff over and over again 😆....thornys, eels , and dogs ! This was the best of the eels. Then this week i headed south to pick up some Sandeel for bait....ah I thought an opportunity for a bit of fiddling 😁 Well I have...

Out again today, lovely weather.... sloooow fishing....not helped by finding a chipped eye after 2 crackoffs 🙈 So one rod only ....not enough 🤷 Just a couple of small rays and straps ...oh well always next time. This little bugger had thorns both sides and had my thumb ....not happy 😢 Cheers Si.

Hi all, rain and wind finally stopped, so I grabbed the big rods (they were still around after unpacking from my hols) and joined a mate on a local mk for a bit of ray bashing. It was going to be a low water session on a mark we both fancied that is normally fished over high ....first time for...

Hi all, no posts for a while as I've been abroad, but now back I headed down to Cornwall for a launce... probably the last chance I'll get before the end of March deadline. It was a tough decision, as I was keen to go to Boscombe, but in the end hoped the odds of success were higher in Cornwall...

I hope this is the right section? I don't normally fish freshwater, but I was missing my fishing on holiday so booked 2 days at this amazing lake just 20 mins down the road. Fishing, was 7am-7pm, but after arriving and sorting stuff out it was about 0830 before I got a bait out. I was getting a...

Thursday 9th February...seemed an ordinary day, light winds and a bit of sunshine. Perfect for a last quick session before I'm off for a few weeks in the sun ☀️ (lucky bugger I know 😎), anyway I wasn't expecting much as it's been very poor lately, and last trip on the mark two weeks ago I...

Yep, Sunday night had a few hours to kill so did about 3hrs down with 3 lads over high....had a good chat and we all blanked ☹️ However, I did go Friday, took a long walk and again was looking at a blank after 3 hours, (conditions were not great too rough for the shallow mark), when I had a...

Hi all, well it happened the dreaded blank!...in fact 2 in a row....7 hours of motionless rods and untouched baits 🤔....not much fun, to the point I actually left early both sessions (unheard of that for me!) So a very poor month, just a few rays early on ☹️ And If anyone is thinking of coming...

Hi all, well unfortunately my planned hike west didn't happen Friday ☹️.....just one of those things, stuff cropped up for my mate, weather wasn't great, very early start, poor fishing etc etc. Saturday was then going to be the day...extra hour In bed, and mate didn't need to get back...

Hi all, I finally got out yesterday and braved the wind, after a few days of horrible weather over here! I was in 2 minds about going, but eventually dragged my ass out of bed a couple of hours late! It was my first trip this year, and more of a join a mate local and have a yap for a few hours ...

Right for Tat etc 😃........it was bloody cold,wet and windy!!! .....Happy new year all 👍👍👍. 😁 I was so tempted to leave it at that....🤔 Nah start as I mean to go on in 2023....be "Nice" the Mrs would say 😀....so a quick round up as promised, after a rather poor effort for reports in 2022 ...

Hi all, just a quick post from yesterday for the tiddler lovers out there 😃 Plymouth was the venue, and what a fab place it is for getting out the wind and finding a few fish while most places seem rather tricky atm! First, I did promise to let John know if I decided to come down....sorry...
