Fishing - Anybody doing any ?
- Thread starter 4T5
- Start date
Always dangerous. These days I just take enough cash for what I need plus a little extra in case I see something. I went in today with £40 and spent £21 so that was ok. I just love tackle shops, I even love the smell of them!
Internet tackle shopping is getting to be a bit of a problem, can't really limit myself
It is!
I have just done it again. Ended up grabbing a Fox Warrior XL fishing seat, Maver tackle backpack and few other little bits and bobs that i have realised i need.
It certainly adds up doesn't it! I have spent a fortune, well compared to what i thought i would spend anyway. Think i have got everything i need for now though.
Proper impressed with the Maver tackle backpack:
Bargain for £25, given the quality of it.
Also decided to buy some decent boilies, gone with 'Sticky' Krill boilies 16mm. Should hopefully help me bag some decent carp.
have you caught anything yet? was expecting a catch report or two
Managed to get out this evening for a couple of hours and managed to bag 3 nice carp, 1 mirror and 2 common:
They certainly liked the boilies i posted above. Great evening
nice one
Too busy
I did catch a little baby smooth hound (literally about the size of a hand ~8").

that seems to have been my average size at Selsey this year, only had 2 decent ones (4lb + 8lb) :/
yet last year we were hauling them in down there
when are you down there till?
have you tried a few miles down the coast at Dungeness? very deep water with just a tiny cast, some big Bass have been had down there

Yup thinking of trying Dungess, got some insider info on that.
Low tide from the high tide point.. you can see the the gutter..
With Google maps.. ~50-70m.. and 100m gets you to the sand/mud bank beyond.
At high tide.. overcast.
Ahh better
New rod happily shoves 150g+1/2 bluey (i.e. big bait), and with 170g you can feel it start loading.. not perfected the distance but considering it's a overhead thump.. that's going a serious way!

So with a heavy onshore wind (there's kite surfers and wind surfers going nuts), I got the 6oz and put electrical tape on as a streamer so I could see where I got to..
I can hit the gutter easily with the heavy wind, I figure that's probably 50-75m range with the sand bank and mud further being 100..
Looking at the side of the beach profile you can see the distances better..

Lol, needing a new phone as this one is literally falling apart.
did you get round to Dungeness in the end?
next summer i might book a few caravan breaks further over that way rather than going to Selsey all the time,
talking of Selsey though, im back down there again soon, looks nice thismorning
More boring photos of my evening catches:
Fat Common:
Another Common:
15lb Mirror
Barble, had a few of these:
2lb perch:
Coul do with a fishing friend so i can get a better photo. Size really doesn't show in the pictures i am taking.
Loving getting back into it though.
