Going to fish Huirst Castle on saturday I know the weathers going to be bad but I think all fishermen are mad anyway.Anybody got any suggestions on what riggs to use and has anyone fished it in the past few days?

thanks Carlton from Warwickshire

thanks Richard i will tell you on sunday, had to take a 2 hour trip today to Burton~on~trent to get a beach shelter because I phoned Christchurch and Poole tackle shops but they had none I hope I dont need it.

thanks for replying

Just a little tip for anyone going to Hurst Castle before April 1st, you will have to park near Keyhaven or Milford-on-Sea and walk about a mile and a half as the Keyhaven ferry doesn't run until April and there is no vehicle access to the castle. So, fish light!

Beware on high spring tides too.

A cast of 100 metres from the shingle beach opposite the castle puts you into 75 feet of water.

Hi everybody, down south are you a wolverhampton supporter cuz im a aston villa supporter, fished huirst castle saturday morning fishing very hard due to strong pull on tide had a job to hold bottom with a 6 oz grip lead no takes in the morning but afternoon and 3 good bites and missed them due to drinking a cup of coffee or smokeing a fag. Had sucess with 1 bass about 1 and a half pound :lol: Mainly all bites were taken on ragworm on the other rod using luggworm no takes at all. I would strongly recomend the new shakespeare navigator beach shelter held up to v. strong wind and no problems erecting it It onlt took about a minute to put up. I put the bass back no point in keeping it as i would like to see it grow bigger

ejoyed the day tight lines everybody

Yep, Wolves fan. I hate Villa....., just kidding mate. Great result for you guys yesterday. I was hoping for a point. Makes the great escape look even more difficult now. There's a fair few of us down here. I was fishing off Boscombe Pier 2 weeks ago, walked back to the car and a guy with a Wolves hat on gets in the motor next to me. Went to Poole Angling last week, and blow me, bumped into another Wolves fan..... I know of at least 6 others in close proximity. I think they have seen the light and moved away from Wolvo.

You were lucky to hold bottom. I was at West Bexington yesterday and the sea was massive. I couldn't hold with 8oz on grip wires. Felt sorry for 3 guys I met at Abbotsbury, they left Oxford at 4 in the morning to fish Chesil.

Give me a shout next time you're down this way and we can meet up for some fishing if you like (and I can poke you in the eye for yesterdays result too)

My daughter is a wolves fan so that makes 7 of you and 6 of you live down south and thats all the wolves supporters to record ha ha only jokin' :lol:

I fished Chesil 4 times last year me and 7 mates came down we made a day of it we had a bbq in the evening and the other lads drank all the beer i didn't as i was driveing later on in the evening. A few of the lads went swimming in the evening cuz it was so hot had a great day between us. Caught loads of garr fish and black bream but no bass. I found a good place near a pub called the Ferry Bridge { just as you go over the bridge on the right hand side} Fish in to the bay on light tackle the bait was ragworm my wife and daughter caught 5 bass but were not allowed to use sand eels because it was a nursery area. Will be down again in June or July to fish Chesil with me mate who are all Coventry supporters sad or what :roll: so when we come down i will give you a shout so they can take the piss out of you insed of me all the time.

Be down at Huirst again in May

see you soon

Carlton

She must get her good taste from her mum. I bet you were gutted when she said, "Daddy, I prefer Gold n Black. Claret & Blue just isn't fashonable" :mrgreen:

Defintely give me shout Carlton. I'll pick up with you when you go to Hurst again too.

[carlton]

No she does not get taste from her mom she supports man U and what a pathetic team they are

do you suggest i fish the Castle itself in the deeper water and is it getting a bit late to cod fishing ??

cheers
carlton :supz:
