[Lucky strike 2]

Just got back from holiday and 4 of us decided were coming down selsey area tommorrow night, just wondering if anybody would like to point us in the direction of least amount of weed. is pagham still showing hounds? or should we go to the windmill, or nightclub area?. i know tides are huge. north westerly winds. any recomendations are welcome.

Weed will be a problem everywhere I am afraid. Pagham area hasnt thrown up much in the way of hounds since mid June, but it is often overlooked for other species. I would recommend you go bassing somewhere in kentish lands, and hang on to the juice for smaller tides.

will just av to grin n bear it with the weed then i guess as the crabs have been ordered and paid for now

 

[fishyrob]

Good luck. It can at times make Dungy red weed seem like a tea party, but the further West along the shingle you head, the less problematic it will be. Plus you have a NW wind tonight, which might help lessen the problem.

well thats what i was hoping really, i think we`ll head to the night club area, i dont know any the area past the club, any info would be great.

i fished 400yrds past the nightclub 3 weeks back had an awesome hour and a half had 6 smutts my boy had 1 i was going 2 nite but my head no said but heart says go go catch some long way to go to get weeded out got 200 crabs living in the fridge or you could try bracklesham bay thats further west

 

[wingers]

there was no weed at selsey sunday night to worry about and plenty of smuts that was at the windmill

the tides are much bigger though tommorrow and i think theres been a blow too. does anyone know if pagham is showing any fish at all or is it weeded out too??. really cant decide at the mo which mark to head to. we`ll be getting there for low water tommorrow anyway so we can av a look about before we set up. am favouring the club end of the holiday camp at the mo

I fished about 200 to 300yds down from the Embassy club West beach last night and I was weeded out badly all evening.Unfisherble after high.Pete.

what was it like before high peter,did u have any fish. what was the wind doing?? maybe we`ll go to the windmill then. trial n error really

Three of us fished Selsey last night from 21.00 - 01.30 and the weed was very very bad from about 22.30 onwards - i've fished the place abit and it was bad, 6oz grips just pulling around. Could be the reason why we are not going tonight = big tides = big weed, but the wind was not bad at all.

Had a 6" pout at high tide with half a hundred weight of weed ...saved a blank but did not know it was on there.Pete.

Fairenough, weve changed our plan,heading to dover now instead. a few hounds and some decent bass showing down there.

 

[skillpot]

selsey will be as bad as it gets for weed. massive tides this weekend will make it even worse. last night a m8 fished there and he said it was unfishable for most of the night

i agree with rob, id go bassing!

 

[Lucky strike 2]

we are. been a few nice ones off the admiralty at dover in the last week so we are heading ,big crab and big makerel baits with big leads,and closer to home. tide will be a pain but theres a nack to fishing it,and by the sounds of it it hasnt been too busy.

I once had a flounder that made my rod move a little bit.

Oh the excitement.
