Brighton Inshore Fishing

Quick one, as I am out with a group chasing squid on the shingle in five minutes First sailing, we tried for bass harder than 2nd sailing. 9 landed, just 3 killed. stacks of squid for those that wanted 2nd sailing was really a squid trip bar me and one other. Just 3 bass landed, one killed. A couple of gurnard And a shedload of squid and cuttle...

Just two hours of first sailing before a very heavy fog appeared, completely un-forecast, and visibility dropped to twenty meters, forcing a return to port. In those two hours we had managed to boat 9 bass, with 5 keepers. Not too tragic

Bass strangely absent this morning on the last of the ebb. squid and cuttle feeding furiously. But it was only in the last ten minutes, which co-incided with the first peep of flood tide, that we found some. Just two of them killed for the table. 2nd sailing a little better. All on the flood, by getting Way from the crowds we found both squid and bass in feeding mood. Ten bass landed, 3 for the table. Plus stacks of squid all round

Finally back out again, and hoping to pick up where I left off. But sadly, the surface fishing wasn't really happening, other than a lad on our first sailing catching his very first bass , and on the surface lure. It took a move to deeper water to take 6 bass, 4 for the table, and if course, squid. 2nd sailing, new flood, and I had to run a bit to find the fish. Finally we found some quality ones, with four killed and the same released. And the squidding we did well away fro
