Anyone seen any fish?
I spotted some mullet today, like U-boats on steroids, but otherwise all I can see is a lot of bored, hungry looking terns/gulls - I did see one of them with a fish in its beak, but that's about it. 
I heard there were a few cormorants queued up at Tesco's fish counter..... |

Yes mate I am still catching but as ever it's a whole lot better at night. My last decent bass (two weeks ago) was taken at night just after HW from Hayling beach but have had several schoolies and bream since then. We have some evening tides coming up this weekend and I fully expect to catch - probably between 9 pm and midnight. |

He he, can't be bothered with all that fluff chucking I want to cast out some bait and pick up a decent size bass rather than loads of schoolies. |

I know what you mean those schoolies on light tackle can be such a bore...but good when a fat one hits.

That was one of last seasons pics but a cracker any road up.
I think that was a fly that i tied up when i first started but cant be sure what it is,looks a bit flatwingish i suppose.
Cheers
