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 😍PXL_20230902_211834663~3.jpg
Hopefully once this heatwave passes, and I'm back from a trip....things will improve. 👍
 
Fished the channel on Saturday was hard work ended up with 2 small eyed and a spottie all in the last hour of the ebb. Fair few fishing but only other thing a saw was a small strap come out. Mind that tide was travelling on this set of big tides.
 
Nice report mate. Things are slow at the moment, and here the bloody weed is a nightmare. At least your giving it a go. 🎣 🎣

Just like 1 I lost as mate knocked it off with the net 🙈.😢....ok maybe not quite as big 🤔...that's a monster mate well done indeed 👍

There was one out at 68cm on Friday in the LRF comp....any idea how long yours was for comparison bud?
 
Seems very Quiet around Solent venues atm but, over on Isle of Wight they seem to be doing very well for Bass/Bream/Rays judging by reports on various sites.
 
My brother was watching tuna chasing gars n macks right close in penberth cove yesterday
