Been reading the post on here for a couple of months & thought i better start posting some myself, so here go's.

Dusted the rod's down, got some rag & headed down the river in tilbury, running a little late but made it 2 the point with 1 1/2hr befor high tide, weather was nice, very little wind (& fish) but the sun was shinning. Fished 2hr after high tide & didnt even get a bite!!! Nothing, not even a little nibble, rag & squid was coming back as it went out. GUTTED...
Never mind, must keep trying, thats why thay call it fishing & not catching!!! ]]> FUBAR666 http://www.worldseafishing.com/forums/blog.php?b=481 http://www.worldseafishing.com/forums/blog.php?b=480 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 08:18:26 GMT The Yellowfin Tuna Fishing in Grand Isle Louisiana has really started heating up.

The fish are showing up early in big numbers at several of our summer time hot spots. The wahoo fishing was great this past week and is only going to get better in the next few weeks. We had several excellant catches lately. The cobia should start showing up soon. April is a great month to sight cast for cobia and mangrove snapper. Grouper season will reopen in April and I can't wait to fish some of my deep drop areas for monster grouper. Red snapper season will open June 1st, the Gulf is covered up with giant snapper right now.

started with 3 hook flapper with no bites, tide running we had a some early weed,
changed set up to a running lead with a two hook wishbone fishing with black lug tipped with squid.

8 oz lead lost grip a number of times, no real sign of bite, pulling in what i thought was a tescos carrier to find a nice codling of 4-5lb
picture attached,

fished to till 3.00am hoping for more, with no joy. cold night but enjoyed every minute.

"reel it in" went arse over T*t how his flask and cornish pasties made it alive i will never know. very funny to watch!

one thing i was going to ask can any one recommend a good place for bait, I live in chelmsford, bit disappointed with what i got from the local shops (no names mentioned)

The sea temperature certainly has taken a dive and reached its lowest at 3.5c in the middle of February. Compared with this time last year it is at least four degrees colder.

This could be the reason why the angling has been a bit slow of late (check out my post COLD FISH). We as anglers tend to blame the lack of sport on everything apart from the most obvious. The most common excuse for the lack of fish at this time of year is because the sprats are in – or they have followed the sprats out to sea.

The sprat season off Deal is normally from late December until the end of February. They shoal inshore, and on the spring tides sometimes get washed up on the beach. When the tide is at its strongest they normally swim close to the seabed and very near to the shoreline where the run of the tide is at its weakest. As the tide eases they start to rise in the water and this is when the sprat netters catch them. Normally their territory would extend no further than half a mile from the beach.

It could be reasonable to assume that, in the murky water off Deal, the fish feed on the sprats when they are close to the seabed. Cod, for instance hunt in ‘dirty’ water by smell, feel (using their barbell under their chin) and possibly at the last moment by sight. When the water is clear (very seldom inshore at Deal) then the cods feeding habits would be reversed.

Throughout the season many cod are caught on small live whiting, which were either intentionally presented on the hook or accidentally left due to a missed bite. However, this fish/bait is being presented hard and fast on the seabed and available to the fish when and where it comes across it in its almost blind hunt for food. With plenty of pin whiting about at the moment we cannot blame the lack of cod on them.

Sprats are an oily fish and deteriorate quickly after being caught; therefore the ones that we buy from the fishmonger are not very good for bait – unless you use them for tipping with worm. The redder the sprat (also herrings) is around the head and gills, the older it is. Also fresh sprats, straight out of a net, are silver/black around the head and are stiff enough to be snapped in half, as opposed to the floppy ones from the shops.

Hopefully the sea temp will warm up soon, and the cod fishing, or lack of it, becomes a memory until the next season. Mind you, saying that, with last summer’s sea as warm as 18c, the fishing also seemed to take a dive – must have been the sprats.

My views on Global Warming are ……..Brrrrrrr followed by Grrrrrr. ]]> CELOCANT http://www.worldseafishing.com/forums/blog.php?b=469 http://www.worldseafishing.com/forums/blog.php?b=468 Sun, 21 Feb 2010 17:19:09 GMT A cod from the shore! it must have been all of 5 inches long, nice days fishing though with a bit of spring sunshine and no blank A cod from the shore! it must have been all of 5 inches long, nice days fishing though with a bit of spring sunshine and no blank ]]> PompeyPete http://www.worldseafishing.com/forums/blog.php?b=468 http://www.worldseafishing.com/forums/blog.php?b=467 Tue, 16 Feb 2010 23:04:18 GMT hi i have heard this is a very good spot and am planning on fishing it sometime this week and wondered what tackle and bait to use thanks hi i have heard this is a very good spot and am planning on fishing it sometime this week and wondered what tackle and bait to use thanks ]]> aylesy94 http://www.worldseafishing.com/forums/blog.php?b=467
