Haven’t been able to get out for quite some time now and have missed out on quite a bit of fishing. The only thing I’ve caught is a case of ‘cabin fever’ and fishing withdrawal. So once I decided I could go, I settled on Seaford for Sunday night.

Got to Edinburgh Road at about 6.30pm during first hour of the flood tide. No wind to speak of and not much in the way of movement in the water. There seemed to be a few people fishing further East and some to the West. Just one other guy fishing near me. Had a chat and he said he normally fished Shoreham way but had come to this way for a change. So far he hadn’t had much luck. This didn’t look too promising.

Used frozen black luworm on single 1/0 clip down on one rod and whole squid on 4/0 pennel on t’other.
It was very quiet with no bites or fish to disturb my relaxation and star gazing. It wasn’t until about 2 hours before high water when I had a reasonable whiting of around 12oz.

I missed a couple of stonking takes on the squid at about an hour before high water and then nothing until an hour after, when I had a few more whiting and some small Pout.

There was no further action and at 2am, decided to call it a night. Although it wasn’t the best session I’ve had, it was great to be back out after my spell of involuntary incarceration.
