A quick round up of sorts since the last one a few days ago.
Recent blows have left some damage on the lower bays that we hope gets dealt with next week so some bays on the lower section of the east remain closed Until sorted.
Over on the west night fishing is beginning to be stepped back as the autumn weather starts to take hold and numbers wanting to fish slow up. This week the west is open Sat & Sun and as far as Im aware will be the same next week but please keep an eye on the home page and there may be some late announced openings still if demand is there.
Catch wise things are starting to slow down as far as summer species are concerned although bream and wrasse can still be found and at this I cant resist saying they are in the “usual places” (take a look at the wall guides). bass are still to be had but I suspect not for long now as they are expected to start finding deeper waters for the winter (yes they often prove me wrong) I fully expect squid to be caught this weekend as we hit a patch of calmer weather for a few days and im aware that the lure boats have had some over the last couple of days they have been out.
Rays and conger are being caught along the local beaches as are sole and Dab although the dab are not that common on the walls they do happen ! Plaice are still about and it seems that the sizes are improving over those caught in the earlier part of the year.
Feed back from any night fishing atm is almost non existent so as far as the wall is concerned I have got nothing, zilch, nada, absolutely nowt to tell you how the west is doing at night BUT, based on the few reports Ive seen from the beaches west of the marina id say there was a chance of rays, eels, squid, sole even a mackerel or 2 to be had out there, & yes I have seen the catch reports.
Looking a few decent days ahead to get out on the water. The local charters are doing well and some are running specialised squid trips for anyone that fancies a bash, it should be decent also for those with access to a fishing kayak with calm clear forecasts for a week or more ahead.
Yes things are slower, that or its simply that the weather has put people off venturing out and posting up reports in the various FB groups.
Its Friday as I type and have already had a couple of invites out to “fish” that is already getting some serious thought but 1st a small matter of football and and a trip to the Amex tomorrow, (john, are you going ?) BHAFC Vs Wolves with a rare 3pm KO, Sun or Mon look possible to go have a dabble {if my body is in the mood} followed by WED evening BHAFC play Liverpool in the Carabao cup (should be fun) followed by an away game next weekend against Liverpool in the league ! fun fun fun eh
Well thats it from me for today so as per I will bid you all ADIEU
