Just a quicky to introduce myself. Im Mark, i live just outside havant. I try to get out fishing atleast once a fortnight (weather, tides and mrs permitting! lol) for the past couple of years i have been fishing alot on hayling and had some relativly good catches including bass upto 6lb, cod to 7lb and smoothound to 5lb. i do however like to fish all around the south coast and not just be tied to one place, my best fish to date was a smut weighing in at 15lb2oz taken at selsy west beach around 3 years ago. i like to try and get down to dorset atleast once a year to fish chesil beach and portland (which is where i am heading this weekend) i love to fish places that i have never fished b4 and relish the challenge of trying to find what works best on the day. i wouldnt say that im a match angler but i do enter a couple of comps each year just to keep things interesting. i placed 3rd at an open match on hayling run by kings tackle just b4 xmas but that is the best ive ever done.... infact thats the 1st time ive actualy caught anything whilst fishing a comp! lol. anyways thats enough rambling from me, the forum looks really good and i look forward to reading and posting catch reports from various marks. catch ya laters Mark
