SALT WATER

                                                                                  Lulworth cove

               My favorite type of fishing has to be sea fishing. The possibilities are endless, there

            are many more species to hunt at unknown sizes, these fish can turn up anywhere you

            just have to be in the right place at the right time.

            Me and my friends like to fish a few south coast marks, mainly deep rocky marks for

           conger pollack wrasse gars etc. 

                                                                       Berry head quarry Brixham 

                 Berry head quarry is one of my favorite marks it offers conger, huss, bass, cod,

                 pollack, wrasse, plus lots of smaller species. During the day we fish for mackerel

                 gar, pollack and wrasse, at night we fish for the conger. The best state of tide has

                 to be around low tide when the flow has eased, neap tides seem to produce best 

                 results. We have landed conger to double figures and lost one or two bigger fish

                in the snags.

                                                                           Sun rise on portland bill

                 Another rocky venue we fish is portland bill this mark is better for the wrasse and 

                 pollack but there are fewer conger around. 

                                                                        Sun set over the river crouch

              Being Essex boys the rivers Crouch & Blackwater get explored by us occasionally 

              we have found lots of good marks both on shore and afloat. From the shore we have

             found very good bass, mullet, and herring fishing. On the boat we have located productive

             areas for bass, mullet, thornback rays, sting rays, cod, and tope. My pal Rob caught a

             carp from a salt water mark on one of these rivers, you never know what you will catch.

                When we look for areas to fish we look for areas where fish might shoal up to feed

             like mussel beds or gullies. Good places to look are bends in the river where the

             tide makes a back eddie and where creeks enter the river, these can be good hot spots.

                                                                  good fishing
