    A day at Nab .

    We were surprised at sea state. Nasty swell coming out over the Chichester Harbour Bar but little wind out there despite a breezier forecast. There was a gentle " beam on" swell at anchor but was insignificant. Blew up a bit on way back in 3ish. Very few dogs as the Whiting (full of sprats)...

    A day at Nab .

    What a lovely day we had yesterday fishing on the "whiting" grounds north of the Nab / edge of the Shipping channel. Apart from a bit of a swell , it was calm seas and excluding one shower - it was sunny & warm. As to the catch - no cod - no spurs - loads of whiting some of which were 2lb ish...

    A day at Nab .

    Friday - Off out to Nab area or maybe French banks (great bass fishing out there) but tides at start of springs so may not have enough time out there to make it work. Expect will stick with general nab area & apart from the things they catch a lot of in Wales also have a go for some Spurs (had a...

    Blue fin Tuna sighted off Chichester in Solent

    Its alright for you west country boys - its a novelty for those fishing not far out in the Eastern Solent. I think quite a lot seen further out & heard the same about hook ups . Its really exciting & I can see "catch & release" charters for this down your way & elsewhere. Tight lines.

    Blue fin Tuna sighted off Chichester in Solent

    Many will recall the 400lb Blue Fin Tuna that was washed up in Chichester Harbour this year. It was in fresh condition & no sign of damage. Picture on Neville Merrit's site https://www.boat-angling.co.uk/category/catch-reports-2020/ I believe this to be true (given the source) & the - A Blue...

    Solent inshore?

    Yes - good to see the Spurs (not the FC) coming back early. Straps coming out to open water getting more every year with some good ones between the pests. Small hounds tend to stay around all year & not migrate. Bet someone gets a juvenile Albacore (tuna) before March. We had 2 last year and...

    Charter was out yesterday Nab area- loads of straps, several small smoothies, dogs, whiting, bream, garfish, pout and rays but nothing to get excited about. Some cod in the nets & on long lines Spurdog should start appearing soon - great sport last year.
