Shall we make Mondays Bream day ? sounds like an idea eh. It could well have been for some yesterday. As per I took the quad down yesterday and was met by a near empty wall. I gathered most had recently left after the 2.40 pm high tide and a lot of people struggling.
That said the first gent I met(yup he told me his name)who I defo recognised as a regular from some years back was having a whale of a time and on a roll for sure. He had a few quality bream, 2 red mullet an eel of which he was already wondering what decent recipes were about and even had a strong bite as I was chatting too him. Too save distracting his catching I moved on and the next couple of guys also remarked not only the 1st guys fish but that they were also well into bream and I was only just past the first steps. I was already thinking that quite a few had packed up too early for a change. By time I reached 29 which didnt take long due to so few anglers I could see two lads landing something on bay 33. Yup they also confirmed bream were coming out.

From those 2 there was quite a gap and I could only see 1 couple and 2 singles along the straight section the furthest being a recent visitor and very regular being ChrisH who again confirmed Bream activity as well as Wrasse, and some other bits and told me of 2 who had recently left that had caught 4 dogfish. considering how few anglers were about there was a very high proportion of Bream catches and I wonder how many would have been caught had there been more there with bait in the water. Not only was the ratio high but so was the quality of the Bream of which on average sizes were better than many Id seen this year.

Overall catches confirmed and reported yesterday there were as said a fair few decent Bream, plaice, dogfish, wrasse, red mullet, Bass & schoolies, smooth hound pups there was even a flounder putting in an appearance. there are a few micro species down some of the Vs, mostly blennies and crab activity is starting to increase below bay 15, there was a dropped spider yesterday about bay 20 but cant confirm type on the lower bays as no one was netting for them yesterday while I was there.
Conditions yesterday afternoon were less choppy than previous days and with the heavy clouds early evening and decent sea colour it looked what may would call very fishy, the down side was that Low tide was 8.40pm. Im not sure many would have stayed past 8pm but will check today with the evening warden as to if anything happened species wise or macky wise last night.
High tide today is 3.48pm, I will be doing a run today , not sure about tomorrow as I am in Haywards Heath for pre op assessments, and no its not gender reassignment, someone has kindly decided I have been begging long enough and hopefully they will remove my gall bladder on the 18th of August.

And with that, until the next one, I will bid you all ADIEU
