Southend Pier Fishing Report 19thFeb

I sneaked out to the pier from 12 ish to 3.30. Big tide, not raining - result total blank lost 4 weights

oneday i will catch a keeper from the pier. It may reqire a night licence for a night session - but I cant see why no big fish seem to be caught in winter, even though the water is not that deep.

Southend pier is cursed, Its anglers that keep trying to burn the thing down, someone even bunged the skipper of a ship to drive over it. :lol:

Good luck on the boat thursday happy

Cheers,

I presume you fished at the pier-head, that is just about the only place you will lose tackle on the pier as the ground there can be pretty snaggy. (It's one of the reasons I don't bother with that area of the pier, also the fishing is not very good there either - unless you are spinning or feathering for mackerel etc.)
The stem fishes a lot better, and you would have to be extra-ordinary unlucky to lose any tackle there. There is a deep wide channel that cuts a swathe across the seabed around the vicinity of the 3rd shelter.
Enough said.

Tight Lines.

The pier head can be one of the best shore marks in the uk during the summer months.
