Always best with high water after dark. We do have high tides at night this weekend, I will be doing them and expect to do well. Start about an hour or so before high water and fish it down to 3 1/2 hours after, then give up and go home.
A fair few smuts around at present also some gilthead bream and the odd decent bass.

Cheers for the advise to both of you i am hoping to get down there saturday night somewhere by the arcade (NOT THE FAIR END) i think its eaststoke, i might get there early so i can find a space as the last couple of times i have been over hayling at night it has been really packed, my only problem is my motor may be off the road so will have to try and convince a mate to come along winking

lets just hope i can get out i am due a decent sized fish lol
thanks again Darren.....

Why not try the Coastguard Station or the Funfair? Plenty of parking and it's all free after 6 pm.

i always thought that the eaststoke end was more productive at night. When i said about being no space i meant to fish not for my car lol, where is the coast guard station anyway?

You could be right about Eastoke but I have never done that well there. The Coastguard Station is a couple of hundred yards west of Eastoke Corner (where the shops are). Oddly enough I am going to try Eastoke myself again on Thursday night - will probably be around groyne 20.

ill trust your judgement on that after all its your area, i want to catch a smut and maybe a bass would be nice, so would you advise moving on to the west a bit then???
