Anyone who fancies something a little different, and is in driving range of Brighton Marina should get themselves down to the West am before the next blow, as this settled weather has brought the squid in in good numbers. Piccies and a report from yesteday on my site www.fishyrob.co.uk click on DIARY and APRIL and 13th. Get you jigs out for the squids!!

:clap2: Your turbot looks like a brill, although it's turbot coloured. Check for nodules behind the gills, turbot have them but brill don't, although to make life difficult, immature turbot don't often have them. :clap2:

It's definitely a brill. The other identifier for brill is the white spots around the edge of the body, these are clearly visible in the pic. Even dinky turbot have a lumpy back, I've had one of 1lb and it was lumpy.

Like Fresh coffee? www.Bean14.com

the easiets identifier is that turbot are scaleless on their eye side whereas brill have tiny scale therefore if rubbed from tail to head a brill will be rough whereas a turbot will be smooth apart from the nodules.

I really like your site Rob. I live in Lancing. Wonder if squid are off the Shoreham arm? Wouldnt know where to start to catch them but looks like fun.

Hello mate. I should imagine if you get the cuttles there, you would find the squid. I must admit it takes some confidence to fish for them, and you feel like a complete **** casting a squid jig unde a float. Everybody sniggers. Then you land one, and all the tackle shops in Sussex sell out of jigs!! I got to go mackereling in a mo, cos I kindly gave my jig away when I left last time, not reaslising the drought. The tackle box in the marina has some being rushed from spain, and I have a dozen coming from Singapore. Just hope they get here before the squid dissapear!!

Harris Angling have some for a £1.00 look at http://www.harrissportsmail.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=12628

By the way do cuttles ever get taken on the lures I prefer them both for bait and to eat?

After a certain age, if you don't wake up aching in every joint, you are probably dead.

That is very good value indeed, although I do like the ones with the spikes up the side as well.
