| Newhaven Report Well guys, I was going to do a fishing trip to the south coast last night, but got drunk instead  . Anyhoo, I decided to fish off the harbour arm at Newhaven today. Got there at 11.00 am, conditions perfect, hot sunny weather and the wind was low. Result was that the sea was quite calm. Set up for 2 hours before high tide, and cast (now improved  ) into the incoming tide. Used a variety of baits - lug, sandeels, mackerel strips, mussels. Two BIG bites and lost both - the air was blue I can tell you. In fact I was ready to land one - a bass, but it struggled free nnnaaaahhh!!!By about 1.15pm (an hour before HT) I'd had enough of sitting and waiting for the next big bite. So out came the four feather mackerel trace. An hour later and I have 4 garfish and 3 mackies, all good sizes. Never caught garfish before, so well chuffed. All returned to fight another day. (N.B. Saw some kids who didn't know how to knock out a mackerel, so advised them how to do it before they started kicking it about.) Packed up at 3.00pm, with a severe tan and an empty stomach. Best day by far for me. At this moment in time I love fishing Rob     |
