| Seems a few of us fish south devon by boat! I went out last tuesday, caught 3 sandeels on a 6 inch spinner! Not a single fish showed on sounder so cancelled thursday trip. Water temp still only 48 degrees. Sandeel or peeler?? Most of you come down on the sandeel side. Well just to throw a tiny spanner in the works, last year I caught over 60 bass off Teignmouth and used neither! What was the killer bait? Metal. A 12 foot carp rod, fixed spool reel, 12lb braid and plain silver bar spoon. No other colour seemed to work. Couldn't get a bite on the famous rapala j13 either. Best area was drifting over pole sand but I caught bass up to 5 and a half pounds in the estuary when it was too windy to go out. Just drifting from the bridge down to the end of the moored boats opposite the boatyard. Tight lines guys see you down there soon! My boat is the blue hulled shetland, cream deck, called Nimue. Callsign vsvr2.     |

| Dave & Nimuie Wandered if youve heard of any decent catches off any of the wrecks around 6 / 7 miles recently ? Hoping to get out this weekend and dont know whether to try for plaice on the skerries or go for some pollack and cod on the wrecks ? Any sign of them bass yet ? Cheers guys. __________________ So near yet so far - Wembley 2008 - Zideered Right Up ! |

| hi mate the bass have arrived off portsmouth so it's odds on that they will be down your way try on the spring tides or on the tides leading up to the springs. good luck |

| Hi guys' I went out a couple of weeks ago and my total catch for 5 hours fishing consisted of 3 foul hooked sandeels! The good news is that if the sandeels are about the bass are sure to follow. The water temp was only 48 degrees so hopefully its warming up a bit. I'll definately be going out in the next week or sowill keep you informed. Tight lines. Jules, ( Nimue) |
