Ok (and don't laugh!). :roll1: Monday morning Stephen and I are planning to have a crack at the newly reopened South Parade pier, to see if we can't smuggle an early big bass or two into our cool box. :fish:

Either way, we are then going to pack up at lunch time, head for the New Forest, meet up with our good friend Robbie (who will have worked nights), catch the ferry to Hurst Castle......and then fish the night there!! Interesting plan.....not all my idea, but it might just provide a catch report.....who knows ??? Not sure when sleep is going to feature either, but hey, if you're not in it and all that!!

I promise there will be no stealth blank......I will share with all!! :secret:

Wish us luck (please!!)

Andy. :clap2:

Sounds like a good day planned to me, hope all goes well and I might bump into you on the pier!

I'll pootle up to the pier on Mon.; but HW is 5pm 'ish.
But, best fishing on the jetty is 3 hrs before and 2 hrs after ....

Hmmm......Very interesting you should say that mate. :g: Last year 95% of our bass that were caught in daylight hours came 3 hours either side of low (with a majority of those in the 3 hours after); that said.......we were using 'live' wrasse and pollack, I wonder if that made a difference?! :g:

Interestingly, we never had a single bass on live bait after dark (hence my post towards the end of last year 'Anyone had any luck catching bass on livebaits after dark?' We did, however, do well after dark on bottom baits around high water (hell, I even had my last decent codling (3lb) on rag and squid after dark there in mid August!!)lol.

All interesting stuff Ada.........We'll have to wait and see what this year holds.

Regards.

Andy.

have had bass on livebait at night,but have more success at night from a good scented bait,bass are like flounders and plaice in daylight...sight feeders,night and coloured water best use a gooooooooooooood sniffy bait.
a.c. you've got sp sussed....best time for biggies is over low as near to the pub door as allowed....livebait.....pout/pollack(catch pout thro the grids on boat deck)

forgot to mention...downtide of the flow.
