East beach hasn`t fished well for years nor has West beach close to the camp,very poor,The Point fishing the tide down or the breakwaters at the bottom of Wight Way,which is a top draw for black bream are probably better options...Alan

It`s already starting to build up over here,we saw fluff chuckers at a local spot yesterday and yes i am serious so unless i do silly o`clock or fish places that i don`t really want to fish i think we Island anglers are in for a tough time but we need the money so i will have take up...

On fire Bud,well done,i thought i caught my one and only herring once off Brighton Marina years back only to be denied as it turned out to be sprat,ah well in nearly 60 years of fishing i guess there`s still time :unsure::giggle::giggle:...Alan

Glad your pleased with the rods Tommy,target achieved as well and a family bond day too, doesn`t get much better,i have been tempted to get a pair but i`ll stick to my ttsmld`s for the clean beaches over here,strange seeing that beach as the last time i fished it was in 1978 when i was on a...

Always good to see a proper catch report at this time of year when we`re all struggling a bit through catching the usual suspects,it`s the late winter early spring reports the boosts this old fat git into action;) well done...Alan

The green elites are a superb clean ground reel although the mag slider could be moved easily by accident but perfect for sussex beaches,my opinion for what it`s worth is if it ain`t broke don`t fix it...yeah i know....i`ll get my coat...Alan

A question that has been asked many times over,if the fish is above the size limit i don`t see why not,bass are staging a bit of a fight back which is great to see, but surely half the thrill of fishing is seeing a plump female being released to carry on the good work.The ones i could cheerfully...

Nice outing Tommy well done on your PB,i`ve acquired some bad habits over the years too and my wife loves them :whistle::whistle:...Alan

Enjoyable post,interesting to see a bream caught this time of year,the next couple of days the water temp is going to start dropping quicker so things will change again and things will get tougher,well done on getting out though but too bloody cold for my arthritus:)...Alan

My ttsmld`s for clean ground in my opinion can`t be beaten but my afaw match pro`s run a very close second,i also have a serious soft spot for my Ian Golds Enticer for lighter work...Alan

Well done fella,most of the whiting down my way about the size of sprats,nice to see some quality fish...Alan

Interesting replies,my position is that i`m 67 shortly and not in the best health also we`ve a very small hospital with a very large percentage of elderly people over here. i`ve been fishing for close to sixty years and to lose a session here and there doesn`t seem to be so bad at this time of...

Having not been out of the bung for ten days now as the infection rate on the Rock has been through the roof i suddenly got the urge,so out with the frozen squid and sandeel wraps to defrost,charged up my headlight,checked over all the gear,all good,tonight my local beach just 10 mins walk,5 by...

10 mins walk to Colwell beach,5 more to Totland,10 mins by motor to Fort Victoria,doesn`t matter where a beach is i`m going to land up there sooner or later living on an island...Alan

Gaffer tape...but i only take it when the wife comes with me...oops!! she`s just seen this???...Alan

Good result,nice mixture of fish,i`d give you an extra like if i could for the "Oh Dear"?...Alan

There are certain things that will help you catch more fish,good fresh bait,the right tackle set up (6/0 hook does not work for plaice) weather patterns and doing your groundwork for your target.An experienced angler fishing at poor mark may not catch more fish but he will stand a better chance...

Whatever your comfortable with,there is no stigma involved nowdays,neither make you a better or worse fisherman,both go the distance now and there are fors and against both.Gone are the days when the multiplier users teased the fixed spool users into the ground saying they couldn`t cast to save...

Good informative read young man,top job,on the fly fishing story some 15 years back i was mulleting with float on the river arun using a porky pig near the Ship & Anchor pub pontoon when a guy came up and asked if he could fish near me as it was his hot spot to which i was happy with as long as...

The water temperatures` still dropping down here and unless there is a weather pattern change will continue for another couple of months,it`s a shame really as the only time we`re weed free the weather and fishing is rubbish (apart from the occasional hot spot!) Keep your chins up fella`s it...
