Over
the last week the sea fishing along the south coast has really taken off! Shop
regular and bells Of Hythe Sponsored Angler Steve ‘Perez’ Perry has seen at
least a douzen species beached over the last week and some of the fish have
been excellent specimens.
Steve
has seen a lot of good Sole over the last week and they have all fallen to a 2
hook flapper with smaller hooks on cast into the surf (30 yards) The Sole have
an appetite for our fresh Dungeness Black Lugworm.
Steve
has also seen Plaice fall to this method but they are being caught at 70 yards
range.
Steve
also managed a bonus fish from Chesil beach last week in the form of a Red
Mullet. The Mullet came to a 2 hook flapper rig fished with Ragworm.
Another
shop regular Sam Quilliam has also been on the fish this week with one
spectacular catch in particular. Sam managed some Sole and Codling also on our black
lugworm.
The
on a trip to Chesil he also had this 44lb shore caught Conger!
This
fish was caught when Sam originally hooked a Pout on a small rig, then as Sam
reeled in the fish the rod hooped over and all hell let loose! The Conger took
the Pout on its way in and after a great fight Sam (with the help of Steve
Perry) managed to beach the fish.
Another
shop regular and bait supplier Darren Mills had a good fish this week. Darren
who fished Chesil managed this nice 5lb 6oz bass at range.
