    South Coast Shoreham 04/04

    As the title suggests I headed to shoreham after work yesterday. I fished 1 up and 3 down in the hope of a plaice. I fished a couple of hundred yards away from the west arm in the hope of a bit of shelter from the easterly wind which as the session went on turned north east. I fished 2 hook...

    South Coast Highcliff 12/02

    First post in a good while for me but as title suggests I headed to highcliff in Dorset for an evening session. I'd seen a report of a Ray being caught at the weekend and with other reports suggesting many parts of the south coast fishing slowly i thought I'd try for myself. Went to the local...

    Advice New fixed spool reels

    So as the title suggests, I'm in the market for a pair of new reels. I've only ever used fixed spools so definitely sticking with them. I've used nearly all the daiwa range from my carp fishing days and of late the penn affinities both for carp and beach. I'm now looking at the shimano range...

    South Coast Shoreham 04/03/23

    I had fished shoreham last sunday and managed 3 small plaice so decided to go back for Saturday's morning tide which was 9-45am ish. Baits were frozen blacks, razor clams and mussel meat. Arrived to find quite a swell and some big breakers which were colouring up the water though the sea was...

    South Coast Shoreham 22/01 and 29/01.

    Well my first sessions of the year and decided I wanted a try for January plaice, never had one in January so that was my target. I looked back through january reports from the past few years on various social media and decided upon shoreham to try for my plaice. The week leading up to my first...

    South Coast Milford shingle bank 03/12

    As the title suggests I headed to milford Saturday with the plan to fish the mornings ebb and the evenings ebb. Small tides which are ideal for milford and with an easterly wind the bank would give me some shelter from it so I thought it was worth a try. Left home early to fish the mornings...

    South Coast Hayling Island 14/10

    As the title suggests I fished hayling yesterday. Not fished here all year which is surprising as I it's normally my go to venue. I managed to leave work at 1pm, gear in the van already and the 2hr drive was soon done. I picked up some ragworm on arrival to accompany bait I already had from my...

    South Coast Chesil, 3rd time lucky?

    As the title suggests i had another visit to chesil beach, my 3rd attempt at a week this year. My previous 2 attempts this year were disasters with being struck down with bronchitis after one day on my first visit and popping my knee on my 2nd trip, I was hoping for better luck this time...

    South Coast A first visit to cogden, 27/08

    As the title suggests I visited cogden for the first time yesterday. Seen enough reports lately of fish coming out through the day so thought why not. I've read about the clay beds in reports on here and other social media but had no idea where they were so I just walked east until I'd had...

    South Coast First post in a while and new species.

    As the post says I've not posted in a while though I have been fishing when able to so thought I'd share, hope it doesn't send anyone to sleep haha. Had some mixed luck of late, some bad, with the odd bit of good luck thrown in. My first bit of good luck came in the shape of a pb hound of...

    South Coast Negative vibes lead to a move and a new species.

    All week I had hayling Island as my destination for my Friday nights fishing. Reports were that a few hounds were caught in a match their recently so that was my intended quarry for this trip. Arrived there about 4-30pm and after a visit to the tackle shop I set up where I had been advised to...

    South Coast Widewater/shoreham 29/04

    Had a late finish at work on the Friday but not overly worried as the high tide was near midnight so a steady drive down saw me arrive just before 8pm and instead fishing the lagoon section I opted for an area near the church of the good shepherd, probably 300/400 yds to the east. Rods out by...

    South Coast Easter weekend.

    I was contemplating a late drive Thursday night or an early start Friday to beat the possible easter traffic. With a 2 or 3 day stay on a campsite I was heading back to hordle cliffs after last weekend catching a few rays there. Got to work Thursday morning to be told that the 2 fellas I work...

Bait was a combination of bluey,squid, ragworm and sprats. Started fishing 2hrs before high, 1 scratching rod with a loop rig with rag...

    South East Widewater lagoon.

    Fancied another session on the plaice. Was seriously considering a drive to west chesil but with plenty of plaice being caught at Brighton/shoreham etc I decided on the shorter journey for me. Got to the beach with a good few hours before high tide. Set up and cast out, one rod a loop rig with...

    South Coast Hurst shingle bank 25/02

    Well it's been a while since I've wetted a line what with poor weather and other things. My van was in for its MOT and a service Friday morning and not really expecting it back till midafternoon I was surprised to get a call just gone 11am that it was all good to go. Not one to miss an...

    South Coast Southbourne 22/01

    As the title suggests I headed to southbourne Saturday. I fished a new part, for me anyway as I'm normally along the bistro section or east of the bistro. This time I was slightly west of fisherman's walk. I got down around midday as I wanted to walk up to boscombe and basically scout the...

    South Coast Abbotsbury 15/01.

    So as the title suggests I went to abbotsbury on Saturday. It wasn't my intended destination as I was heading to southbourne for a ray session but for some reason I just carried on going and decided to head to chesil. Armed with only frozen bait, squid, blacks , sandeel and mackerel I thought...

    South Coast Hayling 18/12

    Not been out for a few weeks due to a bad case of shin splints and with the pain easing over the last week I fancied a bit of easy fishing. Having read the recent hayling thread on here I decided to head there for an evening's fishing. Eastoke is my go to and despite wanting to try other areas...
