The Summer 2013 Sea Fishing Thread

BHAWise · May 16, 2013

With our season now done and dusted its time to turn my attention to fishing for the summer. This year ill be chasing the Bass from the east pier in newhaven. Only had the one session so far this year with nothing other than a small plaice to report.

Any other NSC'ers who like to fish feel free to share their summers fishing results here!
Tight lines

I too will be bassing, from Seaford, Cuckmere haven and a few other marks.
East pier at Newhaven good with live pouts around the piles ;-)

Will give that a bash tomorrow night! Not got a great deal of hope just yet but you never know.

Had a half decent night off the east pier last night. 2 plaice a sole, a eel, few rockling and some whiting. Things could be hotting up?

Gregory2Smith1 · May 18, 2013

was the sole sizeable?

BHAWise · May 18, 2013

Yeah was a decent size. Both plaice were around a pound as well. Nothing huge but a start. The whole squid on a 6/0 pennell went untouched for the whole night. Again..

I can vouch for that. Myself and a friend fished the East Pier about 10 years ago and there was a couple of lady OAP's float fishing live pout just off the end of the East with considerable success.

only had a couple of sessions this year from shoreham and brighton marks... not much to report other than a sizeable bass and a flounder; much prefer freshwater myself

Been plenty of plaice, flounder and dabs from here in Shoreham Beach and off the arm. Mackerel being reported from the beach before the recent blows, also some schoolies making their appearence. Personally I've had a couple of good sessions but 2 or 3 blank days too

Definitely found pier fishing more productive for myself compared to the blokes I've spoke to who have been beech casting. Hopefully a warmer week with nice south westerlys will help.

I shall be spinning for bass with my favourite dexture lures off the hot pipes near carrots cafe once the waters warm up but until then ill still be on the lakes fishing for carp

Tight lines !

Just got back from a evenings fishing at Langney point in Eastbourne, caught a couple of Smooth hounds on a pennel rig baited up with whole squid, second rod was being fished with lug all that got was a couple of small flatties and a rockling.. Only had one nice Bass so far this year just about big enough to take home, looking forward to a few months fishing now the footys finished.. 23rd of june is looking like a top date for fishing with the supermoon

No, i use the tides4fishing website, which is also good, gives you the tides, moon phases etc all comes in handy, that and a reasonable knowledge of some of the better spots to fish in the local area. Will have a look at the app you mentioned always handy to have the info at hand

Coldeanseagull · May 20, 2013

Mainly been coarse fishing these last few years, but do recall some good sessions off the east pier at Newhaven and Southwick beaches. Prawn, slipper limpet and peeler being my preferred baits, but white and red rag always worth using for the flounder. Caught a couple of nice lobster in the pylons at Newhaven!

Pevenseagull · May 20, 2013

Shoreham blank, Brighton Marina blank, under cliff blank, Newhaven blank

I need to get on a boat

Coldeanseagull · May 20, 2013

You need to make sure you're at the right venue, with the right bait, at the right time.....then get a boat
