[Fresh Fish]

Hello Everyone,

 

I have lived in pagham my whole life, I have finally decided to get fishing, I am going to be getting reasonable beginners gear both for spinning in the harbour and some beach fishing,

 

Any advice on marks, rigs and bait would be greatly appreciated, I am a complete novice, green around the gills.

 

I normally do two or three charter boat trips in the summer months, but use the tackle provided, I want to focus on enjoying our local beaches and harbours, I recently took my wife to the harbour after not going since i was a boy, how sorry i was when i realised how great it was down there. And what i had been missing out on

 

Just a quick intro guys, look forward to hearing from anyone,

 

Cheers

Hi Fresh Fish

 

Your PM address doesn't work. Have you registered with the forum?

 

I'm pleased to offer what I know about Pagham.

 

Yep, that's Pagham alright ....

 

 

 

 

I'm also involved with Pagham Yacht Club on a fishing course they want for their youngsters;

I've already done a Friday night talk there to a group of youngsters and interested older anglers.

 

I used to live in Nyetimber, but now am on the seafront at Hayling Island.

 

If you'd like the Sea Angler/TSF articles I've written about the Pagham/Selsey venues, I'm only too pleased to send you.

 

I think the Selsey one is here (minus most of the pics) ...

Look, listen and learn.

Get your wife interested.

Most anglers are only too happy to impart knowledge.

..... 15 posts before PM becomes active.

 

So that includes you then, Newd?

 

How are your Blues doing? I guess there's a wait, which is when you turn 'moody', eh?

 

Actually there are two separate runs of bluefish.

 

The first comes from the Delaware and Chesapeake Bay in late October to mid-November. The second comes a little later as northern bluefish (slightly bigger than their Chesapeake cousins) move down the coast from their New England summer.

 

When conditions are right, these fish will chase anything and everything in their path up onto the beach leaving thousands of their prey stranded on the sand.

 

They will churn the water red with their feeding frenzy.

 

Aren't they naughty compared to coddies and Ytings?
