Littlefish and myself are looking to fish Erith Pier one day next week if anyone is local and fancies joining us.
Date is open as it depends on who is free and the weather

Have sent a PM re what day.
According to the Grapevine there are Flounders , Bass and Big Eels coming out at the moment but you can be sure that if the pin whiting are in the river you will get them as well.

The Grapevine also mentions Cod at Gravesend but I don't now numbers or size but as I am stewarding on a match there on Saturday I will be able to get a bit more info.

Do they still let you park in the Supermarket car park? Last time I fished the pier I was told in no uncertain terms that the car park was for customers only. Failing that, where else can you park close by? Kind regards.

only the carpark by the supermarket is theirs the one the other one is the councils even though it has their trolly bays in it.There are also about 10 spaces right by the entrance to the pier

No problem parking there now John - the best place to park is right next to the entrance to the pier,it's not actually a part of the morrisons car park.

Is that the 'Thames experiment match' that is held every year to provide the relevant authority with an update about the condition of the water and the type of fish there? I'd like to go along but alas cannot make it. I'd be interested to know how the anglers on your stretch do. Kind regards.

yes thats the one but its invited teams only, I have fished it for a number of years but now act as steward after a nasty fall on the rocks a couple of years ago.

I will report the outcome of my section tomorrow when I have recovered from the "lunch"
