fished there today from about midday till hightide around 4. pouting every chuck, sometimes 2 at a time. no sole, no bass but at least it wasnt a blank.
the worst problems was the snags, pulled a few in but snapped out on most. the river bed seemed full of balls of old fishing line with mussels all over them which has never been such a problem in the past. must have lost about 6 or 7 rigs, just give up in the end !
the search for a big sole continues, off to dungie at the weekend! give up with the rivers at the moment !

unlucky john,seems the medways been propper crap this year.

hopefully dungie will be alright mate.might pop down there during the day over the weekend if i get time for a few mackerel.ain't had none down this way this year yet and could do with some for bait.

 

[john68]

yeah i could do with a few for the freezer.
it seems the thames, the medway and the swale aint been that clever, i was hoping for a bit more this summer than whats been showing, maybe it will pick up soon eh?

river med was good for codling last year, the whiting never made an appearence though. few flounders to boot from riverside 2 last summer. dont bother for sole becuase the ones that are in the med have no chance with all those pouts there.
