It really is that time of year when the fishing slows up. The best chance of fish are either Rockling and Pin Whiting after dark or Flounders during the day. As such, i havent got too many reports for you all this week. On the plus side, its only a few weeks away from being when the first few Garfish and Plaice may start showing if last year is anything to go by, although it has been much colder.

Pevensey bay, Seaford and Eastbourne have all fished similar with Flounders, Dabs and Rockling during the day. After dark it is pretty much similar with the odd Pin Whiting thrown in. Pevensey bay is probbaly your best bet if your planning on fishing this week as the water stays dirtier longer and you will find that this holds more fish. A few anglers fished Pev on 07/03 and had quite a few Whiting and Rockling with some Dabs and Flounders thrown into the mix.

Hove has been producing some Flounders and Rockling in the day, as has Worthing pier. 


I also took out my new 16ft Rod which the guys at www.abfishingtackle.com sent to me. Its the 16ft Mitchell and is an entry level rod for the class. A full review is coming shortly but all in all a good rod for the money. It gave Jon, who wont mind me saying is a novice caster, extra yards after a few casts and whether this helped or not it got him into fish. For the price it is a very good way of adding a few yards to a new to beach casting angler. It was fairly heavy compared to 16ft rods of a higher price but this is what you pay for and in terms of functionality, casting and bite detection, i feel it offers very good value for money.
