we moved up the over end by the bridge and had millions of wrasse

 

lost a small bass it was my m8s first fishing trip sp we tried to get alot of small fish witch was succesful

 

we had a cracking day finishing of with fish and chips

Good for you Sam. It's the pleasure that you get out of it not the size or quantity of fish that matters.

 

And don't Chish and fips tase good after a day in the fresh air

Try the other side of the quay, ferry way and the next slipway up for better fish, over the years (makes me sound old!) have had bass to 4lb, wrasse to 3lb and lost some good mullet, problem can be the tide and weed, evening session most productive. Also if losing a lot of kit try a one hook pat (weight o bottom) and fish shorter snoods. Live pout best for bass, we went through a phase of catching them at the haven then going to the quay and fishing with them, one evening me and my bro had 12 bass betwen 1-3lb and a 3 3/4 and a 4lb in the space of 2 hours not bad for quay fishing out of teh back of a car!! Also u will start getting some good silver eels there which go really well.

Another thing Sam is to do with this.......

 

(Also u will start getting some good silver eels there which go really well. )

 

Sections of silver eel about 6" long are an A 1 bait for Tope. The other good thing about silvers as bait is that they freeze well. It's worth taking some home and freezing them.
