Hello everyone & Welcome back to the channel!
Tonight we fished in Southampton waters for the first time ever in the sib!
We ran into a few problems before the live of not being able to find a suitable slipway but luckily my last shot brought me to a wonderful slip which I will use again!
The targets for this nights stream were Sole & Mackerel. We struggled heavily in this session. During the light we had a tiny pout which we kept for bait. Before dark we saw some sea gulls balling up by the shore to check it out. It seemed as if bass were attacking a bait ball. I managed to hook into 2 or so school bass on feathers but didn’t manage to land one.
After this i decided to switch spots and we went and anchored up next to a buoy opposite Netley.
The water here seemed to be 16m+ deep so I imagined there would be an abundance of fish! Unfortunately due to the tide pattern, we had no luck on the bait as there was no tide washing the fish around.
We had a real scare when a dredger the “City of Chichester” went past as it kicked up one hell of a wake. This was enough for me to call it an evening as this wake definitely could flip an unsuspecting boat.
However right at the dead while lifting anchor a pipe fish approached the boat and I grabbed it out the water!
In the end we had 1 small pout & the pipe fish.
Thank you so much for your continued support and I hope to see you in the next live!
