Match is from 3pm till 7pm. People fishing competition usually meet on the east side of the nightclub towards the end of the pier. If your fishing best to get on the pier for 2.20pm ish ? £10 to enter .... the organiser takes your name and money and you then pick a piece of paper out of a hat ... the match is a walk off which means the person who picks the lowest number walks to where they want to fish, then the next lowest number walks off and so on .... the person last to walk off is the person who picks the highest number . Match is sizable fish only .... most fish keep alive in a bucket of water okay but if you catch something good that you wish to return immediately someone will weigh it for you. Once the match starts you are allowed to change fishing spots if you wish. No overhead casting on the top deck and no leaving litter or seaweed.

Most matches (depending on numbers fishing) pay out top 3 overall weights, heaviest flat fish, heaviest round fish and most sizable fish . Any baits are allowed to be used.

Thats about it i think.

The Pier very rarely gets closed due to the wind. A gale force southerly on a spring tide may see them close it. It will take a huge sea and strong wind for it to close, though they may lock the jetty up on occasions if it looks dangerous. Aint too sure what time the pier closes this week as the nightclub has only recently reopened and will be open most evenings this week. Expect you could probably fish till 7-30pm - 8pm but cant guarantee it .

Remember to be careful where you park !!!!!!!!!! The traffic wardens are rights b@stards in Worthing and have to give you a ticket for anything

What a load of crap the fishing was today ......

Highlight of the day was watching Highwayman dropping a £1 coin through the pier decking and into the sea when paying his entry fee :laugh: Highwayman also managed to create a new club record of moving to virtually every possible fishing spot on the pier.

Penn Sea League Chump won with 2 flounders and a whiting for 1lb 5oz.
Yeti was 2nd with a single flounder for 1lb 3oz
I was 3rd with 2 flounders and 2 rockling for 1lb.

Yeti got biggest flat (1lb 3oz), PSL got best round (4oz) and i got most sizable fish (4)

Mark_S threw back a sizable whiting which would probably have earned him £10 :wah:

Next match is Sunday 20th January
