For me driving west is my favourite time of the year. When your driving somewhere and you see Stonehenge you know your going on holiday! Cornwall inbound for large creatures!!

I hope everyone has got over Monday already!

This weeks video sees me live baiting for bass and lure fishing at the same time. It was a handful at times and a few funny moments might make it worth a watch.

Have a great evening and hope everyone’s doing well!

Small tides means anchoring for Eels!

We only had about 4 hours of fishing but in that time we managed both targets. A few Congers and some Black Bream.

Steaming out in the Polycraft-UK 300 Tuffy, We anchored the wreck for 2 hours on the ebb and 2 hours on the flood.

The bream were a nuisance on the big baits. Stripping them very quickly as they hit the sea bed! Well that was until I used a Flappered Bream as bait. Problem solved! Suddenly we got a few decent Eels.

The black bream were fun inbetween waiting on bites. Using light gear and small strips of squid. None of big size but they will get bigger throughout the summer into Autumn.

If you see a small window take it. You never know what you might catch and myself and Will had a great laugh in the process!

Still loving the 300 Tuffy boat and would never look back to a SIB or RIB. There is something about small boats that adds a little excitement!

Muscle Fishing Report

Bass on the kayak was the order of the morning. Fishing from 5am until 10am. A short window which needed to be nabbed.

Unfortunately the bass seem small this year, even when I have done live baiting they don’t seem a good size.

Trolling around the reefs and various sand bars at Bexhill I know can be a nice productive way of catching a few. Today was no different, a few bass over the session, around 10 in total. Mostly small though.

The takes while trolling are savage, even the small fish put a great bend in the rod. Hopefully some more sizeable mammas and daddy’s will arrive soon!

Hope you’re all well and having a great week.

Kind regards

From This - To That

You’ve prepared a lovely bait, giving it time love and care. The meal is ready to be consumed by your target.

It’s sent to the horizon, you’re ready to perch your little bottom on your seat box and take in the sights.

Rattle rattle.

You wind in to find your rig as wrapped up and twisted as a fireman’s hose in a forest

Strap Eels!!

They are becoming the new dogfish for me lately. Luckily 1 or 2 fish on this session made it worth the constant unraveling and re-straitening

Muscle Fishing Report

A late evening, early morning session locally saw me targeting hounds with Dirty Squid and Pulley rigs. Big tides were an attractive draw, but the water wasn’t as dirty as I’d hoped. Regardless we can’t blame our tools so we set to work.

An hour into the session my dad lost a nice fish due to a clip somehow working its way out of the swivel. We will never know!

Shortly after I had a big slack line bite, wound down and the hound was on. Taking line off the drag and creating some excitement. The first hound was around the 5lb mark.

The next few hours saw my dad land a hound as the rod flew off the holder. Even with drag set. A small 3/4lb fish. Plenty of little annoying straps.

As high tide arrived the bites had already stopped for about an hour. Just as we were talking about leaving my rod had a gentle knock followed by slack line on the beach.

A big fight with large knocks and a few runs saw me land what I think is my Shore caught PB hound. Which I estimated around 10/11lb.

We packed up about half an hour into the ebb and headed home. These sessions are never easy to do and make you rather tired the next day but are the sessions worth doing in my books!
