Re: Sussex report 2008

Calico they're yours , soon as i get to the post office ( tomorrow ? ) . Don't think it costs much to send so you can buy me a pint when i come down to Brighton instead ! Better still you can tell me somewhere to park for fishing the pier that doesn't cost £6 , are they trying to get enough money to coat the pier in gold leaf or something ?

Re: Sussex report 2008

I heard we get some big early season Bass on the Sussex coast , is this true ? Please tell me it's true , and if it is how early are they ? Do you get them in close for a shore dive or further out and need a boat and where do you get them ? Sorry for all the questions but I've started dreaming about fish and need to get back in the water soon ! (did snorkel with Whalesharks in Tanzania which was amazing but you can't eat them , well maybe Podge could )

Re: Sussex report 2008

As an update on the diving, some friends went out on saturday ( the first dive of the year for them) and had about 6-8foot viz on the bottom whilst diving a local wreck. That said they described it as very wintery with only a few small wrasse about.

Re: Sussex report 2008

I think ill leave the water testing for u jwells ,the fish will disapear soon until after about may time, well as far as rod fishing goes they seem to disapear maybe the od flounder about, at the end of April an algae plume covers the coast until about june and fish become very scarce , but if im wrong and there are fish earlier please let me know cause i cant wait to get back in the water.

Re: Sussex report 2008

Don't be fooled by the cold water, March/April/May are usually very good for big bass and flat fish. It is fare to say that May Bloom will kill it for a while but sometimes it doesnt last too long.
