Any ideas for Saturday?

[Mike Fox]

Hi,

It's an early afternoon low tide and neaps on Saturday, so am thinking about trying some deepish water for conger, huss, or blonde rays (species !!!)

 

Haven't tried 100' deep locally since July - so am not in touch with what's where, but was thinking about finding somewhere an hour's travel or so from the chain ferry (7 miles for me with tide), and a few hours on the mark, before getting tide back home again.

 

Was wondering about banks, reefs or holes off Ballard Down, or maybe a little further afield...if there's anything there.

 

Any suggestions folks, or is anyone else planning to be out that vague direction fancying a buddy boat in the area?

There were a lot of rays caught on those banks in the Open Mike

 

 

Congers on the edge of the whithouse grounds or maybe southbourne rough

 

we tend to get Huss much further out

Thanks Charlie, Whitehouse Grounds might be a possibility, as we plan to be in the area. Have tried it several times on the drift, and a couple of times at anchor with little success. Have plotted the shallows and deeps, but haven't spotted anything really congery there. Might have a better look at one of the deep bits !

 

Shame about the huss!

Good Luck Mike

 

I am sure that there are Huss marks about, its our ones that are further out

 

 

the edges of the whitehouse grounds have been good in the past for eels

It is bit of a trek but huss can be found just around the corner of St.Albans head near Chapmans pool, be warned if you anchor don't go in too close as it is very rocky and last time I lost the anchor!
