predictable fishing.

Thanks Cortaz, will proabably give sat a few hours anyway since im down in the south east, would be rude not too!..as for the 22/5 will definitly give it a go, still building up the hot spot list, so hopefully will get a bit of luck, thanks again for your help, will let yis know how i get on

cheers art thanks for that, its nice to cross check the tables to make sure they arent off.

yeah i remember on evening fishing in june years ago, would have been about the 19th, on a moon transit time close to sunset, day of new moon. warm, warm water, high pressure and approaching thunder.

i had 18 tench in two hours to speci size, it was hectic and the swim was bubbling like a jacuzzi. it can be amazing when everything comes together

Art, any tips asto the best time for tomorrow, the last day before the ban?

If it were me i would be fishing 2pm to 5pm and then 8pm on till about 11pm or so. phase isnt great though, FQ+2.

like Adam said, tomorrow is a poor day,1 of the worst in the month!!
tonite looks much better. ss./mt. at 9& 9.15 so from 8.30 to 10 p.m. best chance(both whitin mins. of each other)....pat, if it was me i would go tonite, wouldent expect lots,...but its a good (ideal :wink: ) eve. to try for a speciman...as for next week, from sun. 18th. to sat. the24th...................F.M. on the 20th.

what about this saturday? looks like the only day i can get out..
by the way if you predicted the fishing last weekend to be crap you were right...... :?

cheers for that might leave it untill sunday so!!!

Thanks for the info, Art & Adam. Was going for sea trout with a buddy tonight, might try for bass instead.

seeing as there is a lot of intrest in this post thought i might add something................almost all sandeel type bass lures have a "flaw"? kiltys,tobys,G.sprats,ect. they all got it :shock: ...what is it?? :)

they are silver and have treble hooks

something to do with all being made from metal??? :idea: :?:

i know, i know, none of then has ever got me a bass :lol: :lol:


anyway more serious question, this weekend, good or bad for fishing?

You can't fish them at dead slow or stop!?

I'll double it and go for two flaws....
1. Hook too weak.
2. Hook on end of bait and not in middle, where bass always hit the bait.

Whats my prize?

Following Pat's comment, can it be that because of the weight being evenly distributed they do not "swim" correctly, but tail down kinda thing? I heard the heads of some jigs are heavier that the tails to avoid this...

beat,tempo, timeing most beat/wiggle to much.kiltys a highly rated lure, i stopped useing them for every 1 bass that u get theres 10+ that see and refuse them..............did any of the lure makers ever even look at a sandeel swimming??? a handel of a steel butter knife propperly rigged will outfish every lure on the market.i know i have tryed most of em.
M.C. I dont rate this wkend.(lunar wise) the wind is/has been from the south last few days, first time in months so it might make a difference
