Forum Smutt Meet 2006 Details

[Greenheart]

Venue - Selsey Bill Sussex
Date - Saturday 27th May 2006
Meeting place - Selsey Bill Pub at 12 noon



To find the pub, head west along Selsey high st & hillfield Rd. The pub is on the left about 50m before the beach.

As can be seen from the following photos, it's a nice venue, with easy parking, good beaches & deep water within easy casting range. Species caught here are: Smoothounds, Bass, Bream, Mackerel, Gurnards, Small Brill, Turbot & Rays.
Bring some good gripleads as there is a strong tiderace.








High tide is at 00.23hrs on Sunday morning so bring a flask, as this will be an all night meet. It's the highest tide of the month (5.3m) so weather permitting it should fish well.

Tackle & Bait Shops:

Raycraft - High St Selsey, Tel 01243 606039 They can supply fresh Ragworm & other frozen baits, but no crab.

Southern Angling Specialists SAS 2 Stockbridge place, Stockbridge Rd Chichester. Tel 01243 531669 They normally have supplies of Ragworm, Lug & the usual frozen bait. Devon Peeler (90p each) & hermit crab can be supplied to order. Ideally one weeks notice is required.

Shoreline Angling 7 Shore Rd, East Wittering. Tel 01243 673353
No further details known.

I understand from the local tackle shops & Forum members who have fished here before, that the West sands beach is the best spot for smoothounds so this will be the provisional venue. This is reached via the West Sands Caravan park so please respect caravanners rights to access, quiet & litterfree beaches. The final decision on where to fish will be taken on the day, depending on the wind & weather etc.
For anyone wanting to stay overnight, there appears to be plenty of B&B accomodation in the area.

I look forward to meeting you all there.
