NEWKID 26,211 Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Had a go on live eels today in the Teingn Estuary, managed one about 2lb and bumped one, bloke beside me had one but that was it out of about 6 of us... Speaking to a lad early who was fishing the sea wall ( I fish the estuary side) he had caught a few over the last few days on crab.. The end of this week should be better, once these easterlies bugger off.. Quote Link to post

the monkey 337 Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 the mackerel are off north wales but are very small and patchy ...fished hard for them for about two hours and only had about 10 but they were tiny ....I reckon everything is about a month behind Quote Link to post
comanche 2,799 Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Mackeral are very patchy off my bit of Sussex. A few bass about but the pair trawlers have been working the ground for weeks . Apparently they are not supposed to target bass but simply claim to be after cuttle -non of them about either ! Seems the the famous Kingsmere rocks off littlehampton are to be declared a no fishing area even for hobby anglers favouring catch and release . That just means the trawlers will circle the area scooping up anything that strays from the nursery /conservation area and the long term result will be pretty much the same . Quote Link to post

air gun ant 1,666 Posted June 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 my mates just text and hes been today and got 3 flatties and a smaller bass about a 1lbs but with rain forcast for the rest of week we probs wont fish it now for a fortnight because we fish pretty high up the estuary and fresh water pushes them back after weve had some rain Quote Link to post

Definitely mate, that would be good thanks..I met up with an old mate yesterday, he's got a few spots in the Exe I don't know about so we're going for an evening next week, on the eels again ( you can get them at Exmouth docks)... I'd love a session on the Dart mate, I've never fished it from the shore, been out with Dave Harrison on Gemini, on the skerries a few times and wrecking quite a bit out of there. Every time I've gone down the river on the boat I e promised I'll fish the shore but not got round to it... Quote Link to post

Nothing took though, possibly a monster bass I sat for 9 hrs on a beach in Cornwall, then the rod was pulled off the rocks, I grabbed it expecting that surge of a huge fish..... Nothing there lol..... I was pissed right off and went home lol Come on Ant where's this giant bass and story we're all waiting for..... I've got work in the morning...
