    South East Another couple

    Went out after hounds again , wind was meant to be quite calm but was met with a big onshore wind and coloured water . Persevered through the weed , which wasn't as bad as Saturday night actually. Me and a friend fishing this time , dead for about hour and a half and then a flurry of runs with...

    South East Smaller hounds and schoolies this time.

    Headed out after hounds again , would have preferred a later tide with it being on dusk meaning starting in daylight. As expected nothing happening until the light faded and a decent bite and lost what felt like a proper sized one taking a bit of line etc. Hook pulled. Next few casts had a...

    South East Screaming reels

    Havnt been smoothound fishing since spring, and with plenty of frozen peeler ,conditions and tides lining up for once I thought I'd give it a go last night.

    South East Few bass

    Put a pic on the banter section , but thought I'd make a quick report from Tuesday night on here to keep the reports coming in. Long story short had an urge to bait fish for bass , had a few on lures recently but nothing big. Went local.where usually fish to 4 5lbs max not a big fish area. So...

    South East Rare daylight trip. 1st ray of the year 😁

    Had it in my head I really wanted a ray so went last Thursday first of the spring trips, whiting and dogfish , although felt close to getting one if you get that feeling haha. Unexpected day off today so thought I'd have a go at the midday tide , 9 out of 10 trips are nighttime for me so felt...

    South East Few hours on the pier.

    Been northerly winds for ages stirring the shallow water up . All forecasts said a drop to flat calm last night so thought be a nice evening to try with a 2130 tide so well doable without staying up till silly o'clock, but still able to fish in darkness which I prefer. Went to local pier type...

    South East Blank

    Went to a reliable venue at low tide. Very rarely blank here . Using lug target bass. North easterly wind was refreshing but strong and pushing weed in constantly. Got pushed back onto the beach a lot earlier than normal due to the onshore wind meaning I was fishing into inches for a while...

    South East Glad i bothered.

    After a weed wipe out Monday eve I was wondering whether it would be worth going anywhere , but with plenty worm left and no work thought rude not to and had a little plan to try and avoid the weed. Went to a local harbour and fished in close from above enabling only a small amount of line in...
