Bass came in and they went mad. took rag and mackrel.7 were caught in. all were size limit but only kept 1 for the table a 4 half pounder.other caught were just over 2lbs each. When gutting this fish I noticed in its stomach was full of tiny green crabs. and they were not peelers. not that I've ever wasted money on them. as I have found them no different from normal crabs. so there you go. A good nights fishing in the end for Me.Hubby and H :-) Lorraine

August 2003 Time: Day 11 January 2003 Gillkicker Hmm! Seems the area is definitly in decline. Apart from it being a freezing cold evening, i only managed to catch. 1x Whiting, 1x Weaver and 1x small Pout. High water was approx 17.30hrs and apart from that, there isnt a lot to report about. Doug 11 January 2003 Gillkicker Turned up at 3.00pm, high water at 5.30pm. It was so cold, my bait froze within 20 minutes !! Stayed until 9.00pm. I blanked but my mate had 1 small dab. I am thinking about giving up on this fishing lark.. Andy 3 January 2003 Wot no Whiting or Cod! Well all i can say is that im starting to believe the theory about Fishing easterly winds. Started off going to Hurst shingle bank, but the Waves were chasing me up the beach. Matters didnt help cause it was a north easterly wind. Bearing this in mind i decided to go to Hasler Wall! The Sea was pretty calm but only managed to catch a few Pouting. Did lose a few big Fish after getting snagged, also it was an extremely cold night. High Tide was approx midnight.

March 2003 Time: Day MJH 20 January 2003 Fished from about 4 in the afternoon till about 8ish at the ferry boat did not get a bite, then moved down to the pub on the beach fished that till about midnight not a bite, which was a bit strange after all the gales, the high tide mark had about was 6" deep with slipper limpets must have been millions of them. Geuss the fish must have eaten so many that they could not move :-) .... had a chat with one of the locals he had about the same luck as us ..... but never mind really nice beach to fish and with the chance off big cod and bass all year round still could be a good mark ... will try again at some point ...

1 January 2003 24 August 2003
Got to the castle about 5.00pm an gt a small brill
about 1 and ahalf pounds on first cast then it got a bit blowy so moved
around to the groynes and about 8.00 caught a bass abou 2 pounds followed by a
nice black bream about 2 pounds at about 10.00 then about 2.30 am the rod tip
bent over to a whopping sole of about 2 and a half pounds which tasted great
by the way. then a very small pouting gave itself up for me about 4.00 am .
that was it for that session .. not bad nite though and love fishingthe castle
. all fell to rag and squid cocktail
19 July 2003 Time: Day 28 December 2002 Fished the Shingle-Bank about 1/4 mile from the Keyhaven foot-bridge.Arrived at 15:30hrs H.W due @ 18:30 hrs-sea coloured and moderate.Had rag/mackeral/squid for bait. Attended with Bill and Mike-Mike`s first trip for ages so we were all looking forward to wetting our lines! Mike landed a Bull Huss first chuck,on his normal bass set-up i.e mackeral fillet on a 4/0 running ledger-returned after a photo.This was followed by a large whiting on a rag/mackeral cocktail.Bill and I were "cheesed-off" to put in mildly. Then the dogfished arrived-any bait with mackeral was snaffled,eventually about 8 were caught and returned,also the odd pout and whiting were landed.At about 20:30 hrs Bill landed a codling after loosing several big-fish close in-over 3lb and gut full of small green crabs,(refer to Lorraine`s report Eastney 7/12/02) . A good days fishing-we will return! Vic Worley

most of the day during the high tide when we caught a 14" bass and a
scorpian fish we were using ragworm on asize two hook
28 December 2002 Time: Day Managed to find some time to Fish the Beach section over the Holidays. The conditions were nice and mild for the time of year,even though it was blowing a gale on the open Beaches. High water was around 6pm and all in all i managed to catch five species.
Only problem with this section is the snags,if you can avoid them the Fishing is non stop. You dont even have to cast out far,to be in with the Fish. Doug 24
