Well ladies and gents, welcome back to Muscle Fishing himself! 🎣

Finally, after a long battle with my decrepit knees, I think we might actually be on the mend! 🙌

A mix of hardcore physio and regular chiropractic treatment has meant I can now walk and stand for a decent amount of time without ending up nearly on the floor. 😂 We’ve still got work to do, but finally, I can see some light at the end of the tunnel!

With the weather being nice over the past few days, I’ve been on a bit of a mental health rescue mission. The fishing didn’t exactly want to rescue it… but luckily, good friends did! 😂 Lots of laughs, good times and, most importantly, getting back out there.

As for the fishing…

The inshore fishing, sub-10 miles, is shocking. At times, it feels absolutely barren. There are plenty of squid and cuttlefish around, which is at least keeping things interesting.

Offshore is a completely different ball game. There are plenty of fish out there, but unfortunately, the cost of fuel means these trips are few and far between.

So far, I’ve managed:

🎣 BLACK BREAM
🎣 BASS
🦑 SQUID
🦑 CUTTLEFISH
🐟 POUTING
🐟 SCAD
🐍 CONGER EELS

Let’s hope the inshore fishing picks up very soon, because before long we’ll be needing to bomb off a minimum of 20 miles just to find any decent fish! 😂

But for now, it’s bloody good to be back out there. ❤️🎣

🐟🦀 Watch this bass circling a live crab!

The bass is clearly thinking about making a meal of it… but the crab had other ideas! 😂

After a bit of circling and sizing each other up, the crab basically says “not today” and gives him a proper warning with the claw. 🦀✋

Spotted this while out for a walk around the harbour. Unfortunately, we can’t fish here… but after seeing this, I really wish we could! 🎣

Had a little go for the squid last night.

Ended up with 7 for the troubles.

Now some people love squid fishing, some are not so keen. I think the slow retrieval and lack of much happening for the most part makes my brain switch off a little and get on the bored side.

Do you love it? Or do it for neccesity I.e. Bait!

Squid jigs used were from C Weights Tackle

I Will go again next month and try and get the addiction for it when they are in bigger numbers.

Fun social evening regardless!

🎣 BLUEFIN TUNA IN SUSSEX! 🐟

Well, no one can say they’re not here!

Here’s the evidence — a single Bluefin Tuna coming right up behind the boat for a floating pouting. 😳

I know down west you see plenty of them and they’re certainly not a rare sight, but here in Sussex there aren’t quite as many that come to say hello!

Luckily, we managed to get this one on camera. 🎥🐟

🎣 Who else just loves this fishing situation? 😂

When you’re fishing close together on the beach and your mate starts winding in what we both think is a decent fish…

Only to realise he’s actually managed to pick up my rig, his rig AND a dogfish on each rig! 🤣

So technically… double hook-up? 🎣🐟🐟

Not quite the fish we were after, but you’ve got to laugh! 😂

Ah, it’s good to be back out! 🎣

Albeit only on the beach, but I’m grateful for that right now!

I decided Dover Sole would be the target species from my local Eastbourne beach. Armed with frozen lugworm and squid, the plan was simple: stay local, fish for three hours on the flooding tide and see what happens.

It’s been a very slow and tough few months for shore anglers across the South East, but hopes were relatively high. Calm conditions, a bit of colour in the sea and a flooding tide — it all looked promising.

And it was bites from the off!

I landed a small Dover Sole in quick succession and thought this might be the theme of the night… but it turned out otherwise.

No more sole! 😂

I did, however, manage a bass, a small smoothhound pup, dogfish and a load of rather tiny conger straps, which regularly ruined my nice rigs and resulted in a few choice words! 😂

Overall, it was a busy session, but the quality was definitely lacking.

Regardless, I was just grateful to be back out fishing again. It’s been a while, and even a few smaller fish were very welcome!

🚨 Fishing alert — Dover sole are here! 🎣

After months of slow shingle beach fishing in the South East, things are slowly starting to pick up.

This little Dover sole isn’t quite the size I’m after, but it was a very welcome sight! Dover sole are a prized flatfish and can be found around sandy and mixed ground, with the autumn months often a great time to target them from the shore.

Back you go little guy — hopefully we’ll meet again when you’ve put a bit more weight on! 👋

There is only so much resting a person can do! We have traveled light, 1 rod is doing a few hours in search for the Dover sole. Expecting very little but very thankful to be out!
