| Re: whats around at mo??????? this time of year round these coasts it gets a bit barren on the beaches, i would recommend some of the deeper water venues,the piers at deal and dover or perhaps dungie |

| Re: whats around at mo??????? Awfull time of year mate, Bass are around all year but show in numbers about april time, skate will be showing soon aswell. There are really no hard and fast rules when fish show, sometimes they come early other years there late, most years they don't show at all :-)  __________________ Flag of the day=Micronesia??It's very small. |

 Re: whats around at mo??????? hi people! fished st margarets bay near dover a few days ago fished the first 2hrs before high tide an 1hr after, using rag with a mackerel tip on a 2 hook flapper, all i had was 1 pollack and 1 small flattie, lol and hooked a crab through the head. i am quite new to kent (originally from cornwall where its f***ing hard NOT to catch) i tried sheerness by tescos last week and blanked  I am limited to where i can go as i always have my 2 kids in tow, so usually a beach where they can do their own thing! i'm in north London so not usually fussed where i fish as the closest mark is 1 1/2hr drive. any advice on a good (quiet) beach north or south of the thames eastury? oh and HI! i'm a newbie here :) be nice to meet up with members here as i have seen alot do and have a fish/pint..  |
