Loadsa beam at Hayling ... day & night.
Strip off peelers/worms/squid in seconds.
Very rare to see one over the 24cm limit.

The only local beaches to produce decent bream on a consistent basis are Pagham and Selsey East beach. Generally this means fishing those venues from mid April to early May.

It would be very difficult to recommend a local beach which produces sizeable bream in July.

A typical Pagham fish in April.

My old Dad used to get them at Eastney a few years back. Knowing where he lived and he wouldn't have walked very far, I would say try about 100 yds east of the bus shelter and cast well out.

i've had a fair few from southsea castle recently fishing the tide down at night, most just took simple rag on a 2 hook flapper with size 4 hooks i fished two nights consecutively and had about 7 or 8 bream, three of them were pretty good at 28, 27 and 25 cm but nothing comperable to clarissa's monster i'm afraid

You need to head west a little bit for good bream now mate, Hurst castle.

Fish squid strip on a small rising tide in from now to mid September should see you land 1lb plus fish with a real chance of one over 2lb. Always a load of old boys fishing there who really know there stuff about the place, well worth chatting too!

sandy point is good for black bream,the bigger fish earlier in the season but still the chance of a half decent one.can also produce giltheads end of august into september if you fish the right spots.tight lines

Eastneys still thowing up a few decent sized ones, this year is most definately a better one than last for bream, but if you want the best chance as clarissa says pagham by the rocks, or near the lifeboat station should defiantely give you a few.
