A pretty good day today, A few Plaice and some nice Bream, also this Ray at 18.4 lbs...as a point to note, I can't recall anyone who actually fished for a Ray not catching one...

12/10/2016

Some nice PLaice around, and Cod showing too, only a matter of days one would suspect before the Whiting show too...

15/05/2016

Not a bad day today, had some nice bream, couple of decent rays, smoothhounds, and a few mackerel starting to show up now...

08/05/2016

Bream have arrived! 45 to 50 on the boat the last few trips...

24/04/2016

A good day of Plaice fishing today, Up to 4.5lbs! with average being around 2.5lbs

23/04/2016

There are not quite as many fish off littlehampton, but some decent fishing has now started, Bream & Plaice mainly.

10/04/2016

Winter...4 trips between November and February...stacks cancelled due to high winds...Got out Friday, at last, Plaice from around 2lb to 2.5lb, First Bream of the year (a good keeper) a few whiting, also keepers. Only getting better from now, with really good catches of Bream due in a few weeks or so, if your thinking of Bream fishing in the next month or so, then get it booked as it's that time of year now where things kick off...

One trip out since Nov 5th...been windy...really...windy...

Loads of Whiting and Cod to 9lb

here hoping for more settled weather soon.

19/10/2015

27/09/2015

From around mid August...if you have kids..get them fishing :)

27/09/2015

Over 40 nice sized Plaice on the boat today....

11/07/2015

Lots of real big Smoothhounds around at the moment...This one topped 13lb. Hounds have to be pretty much the most fun you can have on light gear.

30/06/2015

Skipper John leading the way :)

29/06/2015

Small tides in the last week or so, but Rays to 15lb, two bream over 4lb! and quite a few tope. mackerel have arrived too....Next week bigger tides so could be even better fishing.

24/06/2015

Skipper John had a 4.5lb "verified" bream last week...soon to be in Sea Angler magazine, yesterday was Bream,, Hounds, rays, and tope, some really good fishing happening of late. The boat is pretty booked up at the moment but there are often spaces for 1 or 2 people and still a few dates for the whole boat...

22/06/2015

Prime angling in worthing now have live sandeels in stock...

30/05/2015

Spaces next Saturday due to a cancellation...

04/05/2015

Last one of the season...? caught while drifting for Plaice, nice size bream are coming up now as well...

22/03/2015

2nd Bream of the season yesterday, very very early...bodes well for the next few months...

Ok so firstly the excuses for a 4 month lack of posts,,my lad was in hospital for 8 weeks, so no fishing for me...I then broke my Sternum (obviously bare knuckle cage fighting..) So no fishing for me..then Christmas happened and I was away. then I had to go away again, so no fishing... Then I had to do some actual work, to pay for skiing and other such luxuries ;) so finally I am here posting...So the Winter was pretty epic aboard Adelaide, From September Cod were being caught, pretty much always on Bream gear, and through the winter months there were a nice amount of Codling and Whiting,Cod again nearly always on small hooks/baits meant for whiting. Since Christmas pretty much every trip has seen at least 1 cod. Around a week or so ago Adelaide was the first boat of the year to bag a bream, a male to just under 2lb :)

I finally got out today and despite a Easterly wind (this is the kiss of death for fishing) it was not too bad, a cod to 5lb on a lure, drifting Kingmere Reef, and quite a few whiting, though a little small, plus 2 plaice up to 2lb, pretty much the other guys had similar fish, apart from the cod...Considering this can be a "tricky" month it seems really good generally at the moment. Cod catches are the best for like years, The plaice are starting to show, and bream cant be that far away...I think this year will be a good year all round...

So...whats been happening on Adelaide during October...Mainly the boat has been bobbing up and down in the harbour, has to be one of the worst Octobers for wind! The couple of times she has got out have been pretty damm good, lots of nice Plaice and Lots of Codling :) Also this month there have been few Cod...up to 17lb! considering how warm the water currently is, this could bode well for the winter cod fishing. November should really see more of the same. On a foot note if anyone wants to post any pictures here be it on Adelaide or anywhere then please do, And please feel free to post your own reports on the fishing, be it on Worthing pier or on a boat :) oh and one more thing...If you go into Prime Angling in Worthing and tell them you came via Adelaide you will get a 10% discount on your purchase. It's a really great shop with a real good selection of gear, and their fresh bait is out of this world!

Got out yesterday, had in mind to stock up my freezer a little with Bream, Had a few...but as the fishing was slow i went for hounds. They have to be one of the best fish around for the excitement factor, endless energy and endless fun on 6lb class gear.
