Hi
why don't you just fish with a 2 hook rig and an anchor 5oz weight with some
Mackeral, Squid or Worm on it.

You'll catch ALOT more fish than casting lures constantly.


Maybe. Though I find it rather a chore cranking in all that line to find out
whether a three inch pout has hung itself on.

In general in the areas David is fishing a moving bait - lure, floatfished,
flounder spoon or at least twitched over the bottom on a light lead will
outfish a static bait (except maybe for soles, dogfish and eels) until
winter storms colour the water and for a little while even then.

I saw bass, scad and pollock taken on lures last night all fish between 3/4
and 3lb. I spent most of the evening wading for a larger bass but although
I saw a couple I couldn't interest them :-(

Cheerio,

Well as luck would have it I have to spend the whole dy next tuesday in
poole, got important appointments first thing and last thing, not worth
coming home, so guyess I'll be trying all sorts of things off the beaches
there.

Wheres the best marks in poole (well, the best that anyone will tell me in
so public an arena?)? Baiter is a good poole mark isnt it?

Didnt SEE any. Christchurch Angling told me whiting to a decent size
had
been taken aplenty. I assumed there'd be late season bass. also,
because
of the calm condx, i was hoping thered be flatties...hence my prawn.


If there are bass present off a shallow beach you'll usually see
something -
there should be late bass aroud for another month yet unless we get some
ccccold weather.

Flatties? Maybe, though a live prawn is more of a bass bait. The
flounders
should be starting to build up round in Poole harbour by now - anyone got
up
to date news?

Cheerio,
