BRIGHTON MARINA FISHING for the East and West breakwaters

Thurs round up

Thurs round up

A bit of a long day re organising some images so I can put up a new gallery page , Im sure you will be able to find it .. its under the galleries section with a little tag Sussex arms on it also … some of you know what that was in the past , if it takes off I will expand it in the Views gallery to start with and maybe expand it into a place of its own.

As to the fishing .. read on.
This week really has been a spilt.. light n dark, night and day, decent & tough going .. I think you may be getting where this is going. Daytime this week other than random shoals of mackerel has been tough going with mainly a few mackies, a few plaice and a few bream in a contest with 100’s or even thousands of spider crabs invading the marina waters ! a not so easy going but sort of getting better.. yes they are getting better but things are not as good as this time last year I feel.

NIGHT TIME DAY TIME , yes its a pun on a BBC wild life video clip but it really is a case of the nights are/have this week been good. Loads of rays (by marina standards) seem to be almost throwing themselves at anglers some of the time, Brian Basco Bianquera managed to land 4 himself, no weight info but pictured is one of them mid week. Both walls have recorded some decent sized bass and mackerel shoals do seem to have been teasing anglers by showing up at silly o’clock in the mornings 1st light, and last light fade away. Bream numbers seem to be slowly picking up with bays on the west seemingly the best choices (work em out)
Ive not been told of any horse mac yet but who knows , they cant be that far away.
Regarding night fishing , please main lights & headlamps/torches lights down the side in the water .. BLUE prefered , white is ok but red and green are nav lights and a big no on … tip lights .. what ever you want, they r tip lights..
re lights in the water, please leave your car batteries at home , we do not need them on the walls & nor do we need people TAKING UNDERSIZED BASS.. watch your sizes, Sussex(IFCA) fisheries do patrol the walls randomly, be it day or night & they have received reports of people not paying attention to sizes so .. expect random visits up there.

The extension has been busy during the day and was booked out last weekend as is this weekend to private groups at night.
Want to book the extension at night ? get a group of 10 to 16 & a list of names preferred with a sole contact point. They then will book with David Grinham in the shop, The contact then becomes responsible for all that night on the extension, usual rules apply , no fishing inside, no tents no glass etc, you get the pic im sure.
Once you are settled on the extension pass your number to the night warden for easy contact etc & you get to fish up there in peace.. organiser then responsible as said for all behavior up there & making sure its handed over as clean as you found it . Easy eh šŸ™‚
