Good luck mate, you shore fishing from the camper?

[air gun ant 1,666]

No camper tonight mate coz I'm supposed to be up early for beating tomorrow/today lol it was ALOT rougher than I expected, biggest leads I had were 8oz and within 5 mins of casting out it was on the shingle 150yrds further down, weed was a bitch and then the rain started. So just got home, going to have a beer and then try and sneak in to bed without waking the dragon big fat blank for me unfortunately tonight

You goin by the pitch? They seem to be catching more 100 yards north of ferry,

[air gun ant 1,666]

big fat blank lol it was rough as a bears arse and weedy as hell, couldnt hold bottom so left at high tide fishless.

Most lads are fishing low water till 2 hours after , tides are dropping off now so should be better this week, you use crab? They be gone again soon the fish, there was a comp a few week ago, 78 codling weighed in and won with 2 bass, think that was between 17 folk fishing

[air gun ant 1,666]

Yeah mate had crab, squid and fresh black, are they fishing low water in the channel? I was going to try sandy gap next time but if you know anywhere better your advice is appreciated lol

[baz 464]

At the minute, the channel is fishing best, crab from low water up a few hours, there has been some big bass pulled out up the coast, 12-13lb + , and a few off them too! again crab is catching them. Tides are dropping this week, and low water is perfect for a dark flood. Most lads are catching between 3-6 codling a tide in channel, average 2lb but have heard of a 6lb comin out

Low water 11pm tomorrow night, rising tides, could be good first of the flood. Just try and keep away from any source of fresh water if possible, with all the rain the last few days it will drive the fish into more saline water.

Can ya not get hold of any crab? Generally worm gets nailed in the channel by the crabs, ..... Lucky fella getting all that fishing done, my mates old man is off up to Scotland fishing too , he goes with a few lads....you know him? A mr green???

[air gun ant 1,666]

Yeah got frozen peeler in the freezer, and I'm off to the tackle shop now to buy some more lol, I'm treating myself to proper bait pump since my home made one fecked up, so I'm only going for a pumping practice don't think I do know your mate baz? Where's he from? I might know him to talk to

[baz 464]

You got a bait pump yet ? Iv got one I don't use you can have, it needs a clean up but there if you want it, it's the 2" bore.

[air gun ant 1,666]

Cheers baz, no I didn't bother in the end as I've got a home made one, it's a bit crap but does the job so I bought a lead mold instead lol and I was a but annoyed they didn't have any crab! So I think I've got a half dozen frozen peelers and some frozen black to last me the night. So I've just been tesco and bought some mackerel and squid to spread it out. Set of in half hour
