    South East Not the worst start to the year!

    Hi all, having not been out much over the Christmas break and certainly having had no success on the couple of occasions I did get out, as soon as new year was done, I was out on the shingle New Year’s Day. It was a slow session, starting from high water and fishing down the tide I managed just...

    South West Advice please!

    Thank you all for your advice. I’ve had a pm or two so I think I’ve hatched a plan… fingers crossed the weather’s on my side! Watch this space for the report. 🎅🏼

    South West Advice please!

    Hi all, an opportunity has presented itself to me to fish the Padstow area of Cornwall!! I’m only getting one night on the 9th January so I don’t want to waste my night hunting for a reasonable looking mark. Do any of you lovely people have any suggestions? Those who know me will no I’m not...

    South East Successfully avoided the whiting

    Hi all, So after a lot of umm-ing and ahh-ing about whether to head out again on Wednesday night after a late one Monday, I finally made my mind up, got my chores done and headed out. I’d done alright on Monday at this mark, eeking a 3lbs ray out among the whiting and dogs but I was convinced...

    South Coast No sleep, a long walk, my biggest fish and 2 specimen sized fish.

    That’s a proper away day that!! What a blinding session with some awesome fish caught between you as well. Top marks indeed! ….I’m not in the slightest bit jealous. 🤔

    South East Definition of beginners luck!

    He mentioned getting a new one but I asked why?! It works fine and he can see what his doing well enough with it. Too many people get preoccupied with having a light to rival the sun!! No need imo. I told him he’d be better saving the money towards better rods or reels!!

    South East Definition of beginners luck!

    Hi all. Recently, I’ve been out with a couple of mates who have only just properly gotten into sea fishing. I’ve been helping them out a bit, suggesting purchases and showing them what’s what here and there. It’s been nice to share my experience and apparently, a little knowledge. So, last night...

    South East Unexpected new PB!

    Seems so, it never had a touch all night!!

    South East Unexpected new PB!

    Hi all, I headed out last night fairly locally as I’d heard of the odd ray coming up and thought I’d chance my arm. I arrived shortly after 7pm with high penned for 10:10pm, quickly getting set up with both rods loaded with bluey and fired out as far as my little arms allow. I was getting a...

    South Coast Turbot, plaice, sole, gilt bream, black bream, gurnard and thornback. Not a bad session!!!

    Top stuff! If only every session was as varied… and busy!! Nicely done.

    South East New mark shows a smattering of promise

    Only because 1) just a pic of a pout makes for a more boring report and moreso 2) they’re really not too common over our way. A few more have shown in recent years admittedly but a few years ago, it would’ve been big news!! …..I whole heartedly understand your disgust though. ???

    South East New mark shows a smattering of promise

    Hi all, So, last night (Saturday) my daughter had a friend over for a sleep over whilst my wife had 2 friends round for drinks… there was only one thing for me to do, hit the beach!! I was going to try a LW spot on the N.Kent coast but the wind changed its mind and went from 4mph NW to 15mph NW...

    North West Tope… my 1st attempt!

    Landed that on a bass rod and a 2 hook flapper mate, no reason why not!! I think 5lbs would be a record!! ?

    North West Tope… my 1st attempt!

    Hi all, So I’d been planning a trip to North Wales in search of a tope for many months and on Thursday night, the time had finally arrived!! I set off from home in Kent around 7:30pm for a very long drive. Thankfully, the roads were behaving themselves and including a dinner break and a couple...

    South Coast Happy bday Goatee

    Happy birthday Goatee, hope you’ve had a great day and get to wet a line!!

    South East Warm evening. How do people lose 80 yards of line ?

    Probably a multiplier user snarling up mid-cast. It happens all too easily sometimes, especially after a decent fish when you don’t necessarily concentrate on line-lay as much.

    South Coast Chesil what a plaice

    Nicely done sir!

    South Coast First cod.

    Great stuff! Well done. I’ve only had the pleasure of fishing the mighty Chesil twice but I loved it both times, I wish I were closer. I didn’t have a cod unfortunately but I did manage black bream, pouting, conger and a small undie… such a magic place, you never know what it’ll throw up!

    South East Bass o’clock!

    Hi all. So I was invited out by a group of mates on Wednesday night to fish a fairly prolific hound spot. With the weed the way it’s been and the distinct lack of hounds after the warm spells, I was less than optimistic about it. Nevertheless, I thought I’d show willing and go along but decided...
