Fishing at night what can i expect to catch?

[dazzer6666]

Used to coarse fish loads, and (no titters at the back please) competitively. The Ouse is good, particularly the tidal bit around Hamsey, but the Adur is better. Stuffed with fish. The Arun was always hard as hell, hated it.

I spent a whole week in France carp fishing a few years ago without a bite.

I SUPPOSE BEING IN THE SOUTH OF FRANCE COMPENSATED , not for me though, NEED TO BE CATCHING FISH

ABOVE THE WEIR where the pipe crosses the river plenty of bream with a few surprises thrown in the mix

Agreed...as long as you get the tide right....

Think you mis-spelt carp.

I'm a glutton for punishment because I'm going back to the same lake in a few weeks.

You could be right there.

Yep as a member of H&DAC I agree, that is the best spot to fish on the ouse south of barcombe. caught some nice bream, chub and carp there, and spinning for pike in the winter can be good too!

And I bet that was still more interesting than watching the Albion under Oscar...

yep that's the one, the Hamsey village bank has restricted access now, you used to be able to walk up the cut from Hamsey farm but i've noticed there's private land sign post at the entrance to the fields and access from the old barcoombe railway track has been stopped as well , SIGN OF THE TIMES EH , i used to walk up the old railway line to fish at the mills in Barcombe

Another member of Hassocks here. Yeah the "Lewes side" is Ouse angling whereas the opposite side is Hassocks AC. There is a good run of most species up there.....Bream, Roach, dace, Bleak, Eels, Mullet, Pike, Sea trout and carp to 30lb.

Just a note for any river lovers.....from Wiley's bridge in Lewes, right down for as far as I know, it's free fishing. Carp to 30lb been caught opposite Tesco and all the species mentioned above are present again as well as the occasional Bass and Dab !!!!

You can park very close by the river on the Hassocks side (just above the weir) - access through the farm on Lower Stoneham off the A26 (out of Lewes, past the Ringmer turning)

Have never fished the free stretch in Lewes but mates who have say it's brilliant. Added bonus is you can smell beer all day

All this talk has made me think of rejoining - used to be a member (and of the match team). Just got to find the time to actually go.........

I rekon any stretch of the Ouse...whether hassocks or free section is worth pre-baiting for a month....just particle feed when the tide is going out plus a few bits of your chosen hook bait....probably boilies. Then Bivvy up for the night on June 15th and fish the tide out on the 16th.

The Weir at Hamsey should have some good features, calm areas and must be worth a go at some time,

I'll grant you Bass but I think you will find your Dabs are in fact Flounders.
