.. the weekend, not exactly a fish report more a waffle report so if ya want it , scroll dow n cut the guff.:)
As I type I can see movement on the trees where I am halfway up manor hill so it looks very much like an accurate forecast on xcweather today with a westerly/SWesterly breeze of 14 upto 20ish that will stay fairly constant until 9pm ish this evening.
Its bright & sunny or should that (dad pun arriving) read ” BRIGHTON sunny” out there ;). Based on yesterdays feedback (I wasnt there , was at the AMEX) the weed is still heavy and probably worst over high tide. Although crappy the high yesterday had other benefits to it(more in a bit, you know the drill with me by now :).
After discussions yesterday I am told that the shop will now open daily to 6pm ish & I will call in the shop to confirm that on Sunday. So unless Vic is reading this I will update the shop hours once confirmed. (Gizza call vic so I can update.) Once confirmed I can adjust which time I arrive on the wall with any spare top ups that people need if they have missed the shop being open.
A quick note about the next few days weather wise, today & tomorrow (tomorrow looks best day of week) things are looking good, less wind tomorrow will prove very good for those that like to float with hardly any wind too bother anglers on Friday.
Saturday looks very much like today has been in the morning but then conditions change somewhat. The wind speeds of 15-20 ish will see an increase somewhen after lunch with expected averages of 20-30 after 4ish and potentially showers/rain mid morning until 4ish (dont quote me tho it may not rain at all !) Either way it looks like it may be a bumpy day on the wall dodging a few waves and hopefully not serious enough to stay open.
Sunday we have expected due westerly winds with gusts peaking about 20ish so expect the straight front section to get somewhat bumpy at times with the lower bays better protected from the elements.
Next week from Monday on things look again too look up and the weather pretends to again be back in summertime mode and we should all see flat seas and sunshine. As the old fart CLIFF would say
“Here come summer”
Right, as I did say at the start of this deliberate ramble to make the size of the blog look impressive…. I didnt visit the wall yesterday so am entirely reliant on any FB postings as to what did or diddnt happen on the wall yesterday on the fishy front, so here goes….
Plenty of bream lower bays with high water the best time to target them, Bass of various sizes top n tail of the wall with signs of early morning mackies with little to no anglers on the wall 1st thing. High tide in the afternoon and 30 mins prior saw quite a few small shoals buzzing in & out for the best part of an hour with plenty for all that were fishing for them.
As above I mentioned the high tide, this mornings high of 5.30am also saw a similar burst of mackerel, the few that were at the gate as such got to see some of it which must have been a bit frustrating as the wall didnt open until 6.30am.
Some of the morning anglers were lucky enough to get one or 2+ prior to the mackies headed for deeper water. It is fully expected that the evenings high tide will again produce a similar run of mackerel around the high time of 5.52pm
Its looking sunny and breezy out there, perfect conditions for the unwary to get sun burnt as the breeze will deceptively cool the sun on your face.
And with that, If you are on the walls later I will see you then, so until next time I bid you all ADIEU
