Good two weeks of fishing coming up. High pressure coming in.
Need to get a day soon.

You'll never catch anything at that distance
Sounds good - will need to check dates, I should get more concrete dates sometime in the next week or so.
The old focus passed it's MOT so I don't have to spend too much time running around attempting to get it fixed (and costing money!).
Been eyeing up a couple of rods... but spending more on the anti-algae for the pond than the rod costs!
The rods on my mind at the moment are..
* DAM EGI rod - it's unto 35g so lighter than the spinning rod I normally take along - would work from boat and shore.. but the spinning rod would work probably... although the spinning rod I have is 20-50g and it's not too happy with 20g..
* Kenzaki 12/20 boat rod.. 3-piece is stiffer and would do wrecking and inshore boat.. although I have something that fits this range....
* Supercast second hand - realistically my time using something like this would be limited when working.. probably just when I go to france with the father-in-law.
I think in the future I'll have less time for shore work.. so I'll probably stick with boat/spinning orientation.. perhaps a super cast bass would work better ... I don't know - at the moment I don't have the money so not worried about it too much
Hehe I wish.. Just got the formal intent to offer, know the details and timescales.
Just put it this way.. they take long enough for me to go fishing - almost to the second holiday

Tempted to get some small squid lures too... see if there's any squid/cuttlefish around.
might be best fishing off a harbour wall/pier for squid rather than the shore,
although i seem to remember watching a vid of some people diving by the lifeboat station on the eastern side of Selsey and iirc there was some cuttle fish about...
goes off to youtube to see if i can find it
EDIT: i think it might have been an episode of the BBC program "Coast"

on a large (spring) tide all the rocks that make up the breakwaters are exposed, and inbetween the breakwaters its quite a clean sandy bottom,
to my knowlegde the ground doesnt get rough untill you get round to the eastern side of Selsey Bill
I've got a Kenzaki 20/30 3 piece, Its an awesome rod. Will take big rays and Congers in a strong tide no problem. Its really light and nice to handle. Picked mine up from Poindexters in Southampton for £80. I've got another Diawa Proteus 12/20 which is great fun to use, the only issue I found with that is it struggles when you got over 16oz of lead.
There's a Kenzaki new model now with a kind of burnt orange colour on it, its look pretty nice
Ok, upon looking at the number and variety of lures.. I'll stick with the one I have at the mo.
Looks like it's warming up a little.. reports of mackerel being caught in Brighton too..
Ordered my flotation suit too.. although hot for summer, in winter/sprint/autumn they're good for both shore rock marks and boat trips

Yup.. considering the 12/20 3 piece (being stiffer than the 2pc). Although I just had to pay for a new apple laptop battery to fix the MBP (well apple is forking out for the graphics chip they cool incorrectly). May be later in the year for the 12/20. I have a few rods at the moment that cover 6-12, 20 (well 12-20 very old old ug stick), 5-10oz casting uptide (20-30) and a 50lb (30-50lb).
For now.. I think the rods will have to wait - thanks to apple.
