Bream from Boulder and other news

The bream are here in numbers - if you hit the right spot. Don't rely on local news to find them - during the week, good catches were reported from Princessa, but on Saturday they were hard to find. One day they are there, the next day they may be gone! I caught my first of the season over in Bracklesham Bay but it was the only one. Next day, Arron was out on Boulder and boated 19, the best 2lb 8oz (pictured). His full story is on the web site catch reports page - well done Arron and thanks for the report.

The other bit of news is that we now have some of Peter Gander's unique fishing cartoons on t-shirts and mugs in the on-line shop. Peter has that rare combination of being a keen fisherman, having great drawing skills and a real sense of humour. You can find out more about Peter on his introduction page. We have also produced some of our standard fishing t-shirt designs on ceramic mugs, and for those who need a shatter-proof mug we have something special in the shop too! If you don't see what you want in the shop we can customise t-shirts, polo shirts, ceramic mugs and shatterproof mugs, so just let us know what you would like. Here are examples of Peter's designs:


Fingers crossed for May, we are looking forward to good sport with smoothound, early tope and bass...

Not a lot of fishing

March is always a bad month for me - not because of the fishing, which can be quite good for early plaice, but there are two family birthdays which involve weekend get-togethers, and Easter is coming up too. The family has no sympathy for fishing and thoughts are turning to Spring breaks, "what shall we do with the children over Easter" and other fishing blockages. On top of that, there has been some spectacularly stormy weather - did you look at the Hayling surfcam during the height of the storm? Spectacular. Anyone who left their dinghy on the top of the spit by the ferry will have a surprise: the half inch chain that they were secured to snapped, scattering about 30 tenders all over the harbour and the Winner. So instead of fishing, I have been turning my attention to fishing-related enterprise. Have a look at the Shop to see the result: the first 30 fishing-related t-shirts have been launched, so stop me and buy one!
