Fished Seaford beach last night but seeing that two of my favoured marks looked like they were taken, I settled for a spot near to Edinburgh Road.

From the 8pm start, I wasn’t too hopeful. There was quite a stiff Northerly breeze blowing but the sea was flat calm with no surf. The moon was so bright, that at times it almost like day.

Fished whole calamari on a pennel rig quite close in, hoping for bass. Other rod was baited with lugworm/squid strips and fished at varying distances looking for codling.

There were persistent bites that produced loads of whiting up to about 12oz. Didn’t seem to matter where I put the bait, it was immediately snaffled. Nothing touched the whole calamari apart from crabs and small stuff nibbling away.

I carried on until 2am before calling it a night. Total for the night was about two dozen whiting, none of which were keepers.

Hopefully the wind will come round to SW soon to stir things up a bit.
