[Earths Wildest Waters - The big fish]

The Great British Hake Off

[The fishing in the south east is dead!]

I envy you guys fishing west and north of the south east as here it has become a complete waist of time for the true coarse angler. Even the day ticket fisheries are packed out at weekends especially and i cant stand them anyway.

And i am sure you all know its carp all the way and a 15lb bream is a nuisance to many down here .

I used to fish the mole as a kid and now it is all owned by match fisherman and the Medway is not that much better . There are a few syndicates or clubs that have the use of coarse fishing but they are now becoming as packed as many day ticket venues and i really struggle to find just basic small fishing enjoyment such as roach and rudd and skimmers in peaceful surroundings

 

Rant over from a grumpy angler who blanked yesterday on a day ticket on a monday morning still recovering from his float being bombarded by method feeders the day before

CDAS have a stretch of the Mole at Betchworth which hardly has anyone fishing. I fished it for a number of years until i moved away last year and mostly had the place to myself. Its full of small roach and dace which are easy to catch and big perch, chub, bream and pike although you have to work at catching the bigger specimens
