Shanklin, isle of wight

[danny_b]

Hi guys and girls

 

Im venturing down to shanklin in a week or so to see a friend, and i was thinking about taking a lure rod with me to have a go at the bass while she's at work, so i was just wondering if this is a good idea or not, or for any information really on where to try in shanklin. i looked on google earth and the groynes look interesting?? Is there any rock marks in shanklin or anything?

 

Thanks in advance

Danny

Interesting...I'm off to the island in August and have never fished it either. I rather fancy the southwest side close to the Needles...just a hunch.

 

Rich...is Scotties in Shanklin?
