will church Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 My new boat has arrived and should be kitted out with all safety gear for a run out on Sunday (all seemed to work on the 'dry' run on the Thames). I have never fished in the solent ever before (gulp), can anyone point me out a couple of marks that are fairly sheltered, easily reachable, and there is a good chance of catch something (oh just anything!) Quite fancy taking a bream home! Failing that is anyone else planning a trip out on Sunday that I could 'shadow'? Many thanks Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newboy Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 Where are you launching from? There are places in the solent, but they tend to be shelters when wind is too strong for others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul D Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 When we fished the solent last week the weed was horrendous. Hopefully, this shan't be as bad next week as I think the tide is smaller. Not sure on bream marks in the Solent. ( apart from marks where you can catch REALLY small bream ! ). Christchurch Ledge is the place I would go for the for larger ones but this is not in the Solent of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam F Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 Will, Head for Sowley Boom for smoothies to squid and peeler and small bream to worms. Rays to mackerel and the odd bass thrown in. Smaller tides are better as less weed = more fishing time. It is marked on the charts and clearly visable. Look for the stakes in the water stretching towards the IOW, fishing about 1/4 mile off the end of them in about 25-30'. Launch at Lymington. If you want marks for Chritchurch, send me a PM and Ill dig a few out for you. Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

will church Posted July 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 I failed in getting ready for it Kam, I'm sorry to say.... But next Sat night I'll be staying in Lymington ready to launch bright and breazy on Sunday. Did you get out in the end mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newboy Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 No, it was Owen's birthday party yesterday I don't think the missus would have forgiven me if I choose fishing over the party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
