  • 11/2010 Fishing Report by Neil French on Spirit of Arun (Littlehampton, West Sussex)

    Nov 2010 by Neil French

    Report on-board Spirit of Arun

    Despite changeable conditions over the past weeks when we did manage to venture out, the fishing especially inshore has been superb, bream in particular have been in good numbers and whilst not as big as those we find in the spring, fish to 2lbs have been common all along the reef system between Worthing to Bognor, on favourable tides with good clarity there have been good numbers of Bass to double figures taking mackerel heads and tails on ledgered rigs, a livebait is always preferable ,but becoming scarce to find especially after a blow , which pushes the mackerel out into deeper and clearer water. Edges of the rock are producing specimen Undulate Rays to 13 lbs along with Conger and Bull Huss. Odd Cod are now showing inside 7 miles, and numbers should improve during the following weeks as they are being reported daily appearing in increasing numbers in commercial nets, we have already found a few in double figures on lures, whilst drifting for Bass. Next month as the days shorten should see the first showing of Channel Whiting and opportunities for large ground Conger, along with double figure Cod with Cuttlefish as the first choice bait on ledger rigs fished on the soft ground along the reef edges. In other port news, I am very pleased to announce the addition of qualified lady skipper Mick Mahoney to the “Spirit of Arun” team, she has been familiarising herself with the boats handling with a view to evening trips during 2011,and is already an active contrbutor to various angling magazines and forums. Ivan Warren has now officially retired having sold “Michelle Mary”, a well known and respected skipper , and a previous port reporter to this paper for many years, we wish him well for the future.

    Report on-board Grey Viking

    The cod fishing has been superb when the wind and tide has allowed us to get out the wrecks. The Cod are slowly moving inshore now and it looks like a decent winter season is on the cards, given the quality stamp of fish about at the moment.
