sTTu Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 Just as I'm starting to really getting into fishing and getting to grips with the boat, the winter seems only a few weeks away so I was wondering if you all carry on or does it all die off until the spring again ?

Gnasher Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 middle nov- middle Jan is my fave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I prefere it to summer fishing. Inshore for cod, conger, whiting, and the odd jumbo bass (Alun J style!)! Last year was pretty much a 12 month fishery though with boats also catching decent fish in feb, march and early april!

great white Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Traditionaly the season picks up from now with sumer and some winter species around together. Make the most of the last of the mackeral this month and if you have room freeze some for winter baits. Then in the real winter it fishes on until Jan with a bleak spell inshore in Feb and March However the trends and weathers seem to have changed so much that some species we used to consider summer only now going right through especially wreck congering. As for cod, the mid channel marks were so good this summer for small fish, I hope that we get a few survivors in the winter.

Tight lines Charlie I was planning on going on a Mackeral fest this weekend to stock up but the weather is so bad I didn't go this morning, but might just go for it tomorrow anyway, as there is no way I can bunk off work for any time this week and next weekend is looking like a "family" weekend (ie:no boat!) When you talk about mid channel I assume you mean on the way to France ? Not sure if I've got the confidence to go that far yet in my boat. Is there any year round species that will keep me going a little closer in ? I am really looking forward to getting out on the water on those cold, crisp, sunny sunday mornings ! Catching something would be a bouns too. Cheers ! Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great white Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Stu The next couple of months see the last of the mackeral, garfish tope and bream etc but they will get replaced by sole, triggers, whiting and maybe some inshore cod together with the odd straglers from the summer Fishing for october cod and the first of the whiting usually also brings a few good congers , various rays and very large bass. If we can get a few of those calm crisp days, you will certainly not be alone out there. Tight lines Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sTTu Posted September 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Sounds great ! can these be caught in the bay ? I still haven't got my head around all the baits,different rigs and stuff yet, does anyone ever give a talk for us novices at the club meetings ? Or if anyone wanted to come out with me for a couple of hours sometime I'd gladly provide boat, fuel, bait, food :-) Cheers ! Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newboy Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Think Winter fishing is the only thing I can look forward to, all my summer planned trips have been cancelled due to bad weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
