First time I have used iWeb. Quite impressed.

some cracking fish there oh. i love that common carp. is the adur the name of the river?

[OrangeHopper]

All the carp I've had out of there have been in superb condition unlike the bream and that particular chub.

Yes the Adur. Enters the sea at Shoreham harbour which is at the western extreme of Brighton/Hove. It is only a small river but it has carp and pike over 30lb and most other species go to good sizes. The eldest's tench was 5lb 8oz which is bigger than any tench I've caught. I saw a sea trout the other day that was certainly into double figures.

Far prefer the river to any commercial puddle. You really have to work at it if you are going to consistently catch good sized fish.

sea trout? it might be worth having a go for them next june/july during the nights if you have parts of the river where there is some good flow?

i'm the same. i never fish stew ponds. if i'm trout fishing, i'll head for a hill loch where a good trout might be 1 - 1 1/2 lbs. not as big as the stewponds but preferable and infinitely more rewarding.

you're getting some great fish there oh.

Shush! That would mean I would have to buy a Salmon and Sea Trout licence.

Might get out there tomorrow.

Nice pics

[OrangeHopper]

Not a bad day. Only now getting a bit cold.

A small bag of chub and roach with the best being a 1lb roach.

[scotspine]

nice one! you're lucky being able to get out just now. our season has closed until january, although i probably won't wet a line till around late march/april.

did you get my pm about the site?

[OrangeHopper]

I have just sent you a pm scots. Thanks.

I would normally be like you and wouldn't expect to get the rods out again until the mayfly hatch but I have now decided to try and fish through the winter. Got some pike stuff today then saw a monster grab hold of a 2lb plus chub this afternoon. Poor chub was struggling away for ages.

The trout reservoirs now stay open during the winter as a result of the warm/hot weathers we now get down here. One of the reservoirs actually closes June/July/August. Weird!
