Fished east end by lifeboat last Wednesday!! Impossible! 2mins fishing 30 mins clearing weed. Told its been like it for 4 weeks! I gave in and went to Selsey. A lot of weed there as well but it was possible to fish.

Hi mate, fished selsey an saturday, using peeler, lug and squid, only caught weed,
some chap foul hooked a smallish mackie, it was a waste of bait, as i would cast out and reel in 25mins later without a single bite - for 7hrs!!!

Fished Hayling Last night ( wed) Weed was'nt a problem at all. The wind was though!!!. Bit slack until darkness, started to get smutts about 11.30. Top one was 10lb. Lots of school bass as well.
Also stokes bay was very good on wednesday Smutts taking mainly Hermit & peeler. Hayling better for Peeler & Rag . More weed around stokes bay and lee than Hayling.
