South West Soooo slow out there☹️

[Si-fly]

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
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.

Bad luck on the slow fishing mate, but well done on losing the eel

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.
