POST about fish.
A late afternoon rumble down Manor hill onto the Marina walls at low tide.

A sort of alt title I guess.
It is still IMO a bit early in the season for the marina walls too be producing decent numbers of fish but there are signs of improvement, even if half the world are starting too realise that mankind is over fishing the oceans. Thus, I found myself rolling over too the east wall and a low tide underway. Very few anglers left on the wall at this time of day & state of tide of which is quite normal even during the busier summer days.
As a result it is always hard too get a clear picture of how the main part of the day had fished or how many had indeed been down there. I do get some info from wardens but that often is a little sketchy and not over detailed due too them watching both walls and lack the time like I have too stop and chinwag with anglers on the wall. mind you, too get said sketchy info I usually have too actually see the day warden and I think I got there just after day dude had gone and Ali arrived for the evening/night shift.

Yes I confess I pad some reports, regular readers here will know by now how I waffle the padding in but I will say if the fishing has been poor, half decent, crap or good. The problem I do have is trying too drag different bits of info together & some fish reports arrive a week or so late when I next see the angler on the wall or 3 days later post too the book of face.
A good example of this was the rumour 10 days or so ago when I had heard of mullet caught.. or dropped high on the east and mentioned I would try and confirm that bit of info. i should have posted a couple of days ago but it had slipped my mind(easy done these days). Anyhoo said mullet(s) were confirmed when I came across Roy A earlier this week and did indeed confirm at least one decent mullet and another dropped at the wall a week earlier.
I am often reliant on FB posts from one or two of the various fishing groups there, some ppl will message me how they got on, wardens will update me and quite often when someone re visits they will mention prior visit & how they got on. this results , often in staggered info or late catch ups. If any readers here would like too share catches but are reluctant too do so on facebook anyone can do so by emailing here using the link on the bottom of the homepage. Emails too the website come directly too myself and this also is the reason that the shop doesn’t take online bait orders, the emails only reach the shop if a message needs relaying such as invoices etc.

Feel free too email me a catch info/report, if you don’t want me too put your name up here in a blog please say so when u message though as I lost my psychic abilities when I hit puberty 😂😂

So, back too yesterday, perhaps 6-7 on the east. I stopped an chatted with a new visitor dude fishing up on bay 58 ish who had been there some time and had still too see a fish. A decent chinwag but no fish !…
Along the straight section there were a couple of pairs fishing and looking quite glum regarding fish but did say they had a decent day on the wall.. for a change decent sunshine, the water had cleared much of the silk and visibility was improving all the time. Im betting that over the high last night visibility was very good but I ddidn’t wait that long too find out. Down towards the 20’s and news of some small(returned) plaice and a little gurnard that took feathers on the retrieve. All in all, slim pickings yesterday on the low tide.

from East too the West(that triggers a fats domino tune in my head !) and again not so many fishing. Some near ready too pack up for the day and others recent arrivals for the night session. Hugh was back with his dog which looked somewhat bored of the goings on and while there I did see him reel in a small plaice and there was a cuttle in a regulars bucket on the extension. A yap with Ian & Wife Sue told me there had been a few mackerel earlier as well as a decent bass on the low bays but things definitely seemed slow going as the tide turned.

Again a similar story on the west as was on the east. too few anglers too really catch how things were fishing but can confirm a few plaice & bream, plus as said a bass on the low bays and a cuttle on the high. Am not sure how the high fished but hopefully Ali may have some info when I see him later too day when I point the wheels down the wall.
Am contemplating fishing tomorrow morning too just after the high as JNR mentioned he fancied a dabble on the wall tomorrow, time will tell.

Thats it folks, not much of a catch report for yesterday unfortunately but hey, as said, I still think for the wall its a bit early and I can confirm the local boats are doing well on the bream and squid atm.
Aaaaannnnddddd so, until the next one, I bid you all ADIEU
