Any fisherman on here.

[Pretty pink fairy]

i found a dead dog fish on seaford beach when i went for a walk with the missus dogs the other week, is a strange looking fish, kind of looks shark like.

Im looking forward to it, i see people fishing near Newhaven port all the time but i dont think i have ever seen anyone catch anything

how did you explain that to your mrs when you came back without your dog

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

Just out of interest, does anybody on here do Spearfishing?

Get some feathers and go to the marina.

Have fun.

Just round the corner for me. Went last Wednesday lunchtime, and caught nine mackerel – including four at once!
Felt pretty pleased, until I realised everyone else had caught plenty more...

Ah, but when filleted and lightly grilled and drizzled with a hint of lemon juice and sprinkled with a little salt, were they not the best Mackerel you have EVER tasted ? ...... Then tell that to a Carp angler who has to put his fish back.

Lordy, what a life, a Pole's three nutritional sources are Vodka, Carp and Beetroot.

Next, what is a Stomper ?

A large boot like the one that is going to come down on your head next time I see you for drinking all my APA the other night.

brighton marina is not all that, only really good for mackeral in the summer on the short arm and they charge you per rod to go there, seaford beaches are pretty good for flatties and bass, around the tide mills area. eastbourne serves up some quality fishing during the winter months around langney point, some great cod have been hauled up there, and in the summer months dover sole a plenty, thats behind the sewage treatment works. inside shoreham harbour is good to for flatty bashing, after this blow it will be a great time to get out there....but watch out there's going to be a lot of seaweed floating about....fishermans nightmare!!! also you can get the sea angler magazine from the newsagents that is 1 quality fishing magazine, hope you find this reply of help...

Tide mills is a great spot just be carefull of the train track.
Had some brilliant sessions in seafood including my own PB a 12lb bass from the beach & yes I have pics

Brace yourself for a lot of wasted time but some magic moments too ! Although dissed previously, don't write off Brighton Marina, you don't have to cast far and you can talk to other anglers and get pointers and tips. Don't start by beach fishing, that way lies madness and dissapointment. You need to be able to fish and cast comfortably before banging it out off the beach.

Sea fishing is a full on experience if you dig your own bait collect your own peeler crabs and make your own rigs. It has its own special language too as regards fish names and methods.

anyone here know what a Spikey is ?

Sorry Vegster but I can't get over the thought of you banging it out off the beach!

Egad !, you purloined ten of my English pounds you rascal, I quaffed only my share of the booty

Ditto, i fished tidemills a lot as a kid, there used to be stacks of big flounders there, i regularly had over 20 a trip, the best was 3 1/2lb and had plenty over 2 1/2 lb, sadly a lot of these got trawled for use as potbait so don't see that many any more.
I prefer to fish Whitehorses these days, CLIP IT AND WHACK IT!!!

That's o.k. I prefer mackerel anyway.

 

[Whitterz]

Pike angler here, fish various rivers/ lakes across Sussex, syndicates mostly. Have done alot of Carping in years gone by, but nested into the pike scene around 7 or 8 years ago.

PM me if you have any Q's...

 

[moggy]

There's still a few bass about but you'll have to be quick, they'll be gone this time next month.
Best place by far is the hot pipe, fishing of the jetty just behind southwick power station near carrots cafe.
Or do what cardboard says and go carping. If she's bought the gear for that, that is ?

I would guess so as thats the fishing her coach is taking me 2 when we go out for the first few times, he also brought me a load of fishing mags. I have to say i never meet a nicer man,

Yeah them trawlers are a nightmare around that area, I'm sure they come in closer than they are supposed to, still beats brighton Marina though.... Always a waste of time unless ya after a few maccy off of the west arm
Really need to get out a bit more actually... Been neglecting it a bit lately

The bigguns won't be gone mate just the schoolies, I've had em in November but yeah the hot pipe will be your best bet.... Just remember it's a waiting game & you learn while you wait
