Brighton Inshore Fishing - Catch report 26th September 2026

Another great day afloat. First sailing, the first action of a stag weekend for my four guys. Less experienced and I must admit knowing what I had in store for them , initial attempts at teaching them how to work a surface lure was frustrating, in part due to it being quite dark. But as the light improved so did the skills, and we managed 23 bass landed. Plenty of keepers but here lays some irony. No requirement to keep any due to activities so all fish released. Lucky fishes.

Far less lucky next sailing which had a distinct foodie slant to it. As a result we stayed in deeper water. with two fishing squid and two fishing bass. 2 table bass and a fair few squid and everyone was happy.

Final sailing, and with low tide, more surface action. Fifteen landed to my four rods, and a lot of fun it was. It's a real shame some wind comes tomorrow, as the fishing is absolutely top notch at the moment
