Good evening, the fishing locally is mixed with some venues seemingly full of fish whereas catching fish at others spots can be more of a challenge, one reason for this is due to the vast numbers of Squid which have returned inshore which do tend have a knock-on effect on the fishing, whereas beaches which still hold colour in the water have more fish present. For the week ahead more decent weather is forecast so why not get out and see what’s on offer locally whether its fishing or targeting Squid.

Here are Worthing high tides times for the week ahead:

Monday 9th November: 10:55 (6.1m), 23:15 (5.9m)

Tuesday 10th November: 11:29 (6.0m), 23:50 (5.9m)

Wednesday 11th November: 12:02 (5.9m)

Thursday 12th November: 00:26 (5.8m), 12:34 (5.8m)

Friday 13th November: 01:00 (5.6m), 13:06 (5.6m)

Saturday 14th November: 01:35 (5.4m), 13:38 (5.3m)

During the past week the weather has remained settled with mainly dry conditions with plenty of cloud and occasional sunshine with the winds mainly from a north easterly direction. The sea has been calm and the water has cleared at most venues though some of the shallower beaches hold a bit of colour inshore. Little change next week as a similar weather forecast is predicted.

At night Whiting have been caught in big numbers from some venues as shown by a match fished at East Preston Friday night where the winner had 60 plus fish in 4 hours, although other venues have seen rather less Whiting caught but expect them to be more widespread in the coming days.

There are still some Dogfish being caught mostly during darkness or venues where the water has colour along with the odd small Smoothound and catching a Bull Huss is also a slight possibility. Codling seem scarce this year with the odd fish caught and there are some Pout showing mainly at night.

Lots of Squid have been caught throughout the week and most of a decent size. Brighton Marina is the most reliable venue to target them both during the day or at night although the beaches and any structure where there is good clarity is worth trying with darkness and flat and calm seas ideal conditions.

Although conditions have been favourable there has not been many of the summer species featuring in catches other than a few Garfish, Black Bream, odd Mackerel and Shad. As usual Brighton Marina tends to offer the best variety of species and there is plenty of smaller bait fish shoals present in inshore waters.

Most Congers seem to be very small straps bar the occasional better fish but if Whiting are present, it could be possible that a few bigger Eels might move in, and Whiting can fish well as either a live or dead bait.

Small Eyed Rays have been frequent catches mainly from around Shoreham through to Brighton plus there are still some Thornbacks and the occasional Undulate Ray being caught. Hove and Brighton beaches are a good place to target them at night, and Bognor and Pagham may produce a few Rays also during darkness.

Bass are still around with some sizable fish around 3 to 4lb plus Schoolies are about in numbers in the local rivers on worm baits. Lure fishing could still be worthwhile with good water clarity. Inshore boat anglers are still finding large Bass not too far offshore.

Anglers wishing to target flatfish could find a mixture of small Plaice, Flounders, Sole and Dabs to worm baits with Shoreham through to Brighton venues which could produce the best chance of catching. Flounders can show from the local rivers ideally at night during a cold spell.

Prime Angling usual opening times are 8am till 5pm Monday to Saturday and 8am till 4pm Sundays. We are located at 26 Marine Parade, Worthing, BN11 3PT, just to the east of Worthing Pier with limited customer parking available at the front of the shop.

Good evening, thankfully after recent storms consisting of strong winds and rain some decent weather has returned during the last week and there is still some good fishing on offer and it seems there is a wide variety of species still and signs of a few winter species moving in along with the lingering summer fish and with more reasonable weather forecast for the week ahead why not get the rods out and give it ago.

Here are Worthing high tides times for the week ahead:

Monday 2nd November: 04:34 (5.1m), 17:04 (4.8m)

Tuesday 3rd November: 05:53 (5.0m), 18:26 (4.8m)

Wednesday 4th November: 07:07 (5.2m), 19:36 (5.1m)

Thursday 5th November: 08:08 (5.5m), 20:32 (5.4m)

Friday 6th November: 08:58 (5.8m), 21:18 (5.6m)

Saturday 7th November: 09:41 (5.9m), 21:59 (5.8m)

The weather during the past week has seen a vast improvement with the strong winds easing earlier in the week and the daytime weather has generally been dry and sunny with light winds. The wind is forecast to be north easterlies next week which means the sea will likely to be calm and the clarity should get better.

Some Congers were caught from Worthing Pier during the week, nothing massive but fish to around 15lb were caught at night along with some smaller straps. Best chance of a Conger in the forthcoming week will be in darkness if the water continues to clear out plus the numbers of little straps will increase.

Whiting have made their appearance this weekend although not in vast numbers yet, a few showed from Shoreham beach in the daytime so expect them to be present in darkness too. Most Whiting do seem to be sizable with best caught of 37cm. There was a Codling caught from Worthing Pier early last week and there are a few Pouting too plus the usual Dogfish.

Brighton Marina is the venue which tends to produce the most variety in terms of species with Garfish, Black Bream returning and Squid are being caught and with the weather conditions there should be plenty of Squid showing during the next week or so.

For whatever reason there seems to a sudden increase in Small Eyed Rays mainly from around Shoreham through to Brighton plus there are still some Thornbacks and the occasional Undulate Ray being caught. Usual venues that maybe worth trying when targeting Rays includes Eastbourne, Seaford, Hove, Shoreham, Bognor and Pagham.

There continues to be good numbers of Bass in the 2-3lb bracket regularly being caught plus there is a realistic chance of bigger fish showing this time of year. Local rivers still hold fish, and Seaford and Brighton Marina have seen some good catches recently. With water clarity likely to improve this week lure fishing could be worthwhile.

Whilst the water was coloured and as the sea state calmed after recent storms good numbers of decent size Sole have shown mainly from around Hove and Brighton. Plaice may make an appearance from the beaches as well in the daytime and Seaford might produce a fish or two. Flounders and Dabs should become more frequent catches as winter approaches.

Prime Angling usual opening times are 8am till 5pm Monday to Saturday and 8am till 4pm Sundays. We are located at 26 Marine Parade, Worthing, BN11 3PT, just to the east of Worthing Pier with limited customer parking available at the front of the shop.

Good evening, firstly due to the recent bad weather during the past week this has certainly affected the amount of catch reports and unfortunately the sea conditions have caused considerable damage to some fishing venues locally so apologies for lack of fish pictures this week and the inclusion of some weather related pictures but hopefully these winds and sea state should hopefully bring some good fishing to those venturing out and next week’s forecast looks better so why not get out and give a try.

Here are Worthing high tides times for the week ahead:

Monday 26th October: 10:48 (6.3m), 23:07 (6.2m)

Tuesday 27th October: 11:28 (6.4m), 23:49 (6.3m)

Wednesday 28th October: 12:08 (6.4m)

Thursday 29th October: 00:33 (6.2m), 12:50 (6.2m)

Friday 30th October: 01:20 (6.0m), 13:37 (6.0m)

Saturday 31st October: 02:14 (5.7m), 14:31 (5.6m)

Strong winds for much of the past week has seen the seas turn rough and coloured and meant some venues have been forced to close and most of the beaches have been close to unfishable and dangerous. Please see accompanying pictures of Shoreham West Arm and Brighton Marina which has been forced to close for the foreseeable future due to damage.

Once the sea starts to settle there is a good chance of some big Congers showing locally with Worthing Pier certainly worth targeting them ideally in darkness or when the water is coloured. If Whiting are present, they can make a good bait either dead or alive. Remember to use suitable tackle when targeting Congers and if fishing from the Pier a drop net is essential.

The conditions and time of year means it is possible Whiting could move inshore and there is a chance of a Codling being caught as will some big Pout. Dogfish are expected to arrive in large numbers throughout the region with a slight chance of a Bull Huss

Bass will continue to show regardless of the conditions and sizable fish have been caught from Worthing Pier in rough seas and chances are some large Bass could be caught to big baits this time of year. Once the beaches become fishable baits fished in the surf are likely to find fish and can be caught over low water. A couple of nice Bass to over 7lb have already been caught from beaches in East Sussex this weekend. Local rivers still have plenty of Bass in the lower stretches and fish to around 6lb have been caught occasionally.

It has not been ideal conditions for flatfish, but some good-sized Sole can be expected when it calms, and the water remains coloured with Hove and Brighton beaches good areas to try. Flounders and Plaice are possible catches to worm baits and Dabs should start increasing in numbers.

Rays will show when seas state calms with a mixture of Undulate, Small Eyed and Thornbacks all possible catches. Usually, night fishing tends to offer the best chance of catching a Ray locally although they will show during the daytime especially if the water holds some colour and Worthing Pier can produce Undulates when the sea is choppy and dirty. Venues that maybe worth trying when targeting Rays includes Eastbourne, Seaford, Hove, Shoreham, Bognor and Pagham.

The weather and sea conditions mean summer species are unlikely to show for a while till more settled weather and clearer seas arrive.

Prime Angling usual opening times are 8am till 5pm Monday to Saturday and 8am till 4pm Sundays. We are located at 26 Marine Parade, Worthing, BN11 3PT, just to the east of Worthing Pier with limited customer parking available at the front of the shop.

Good evening, locally the fishing at present is still producing plenty of the summer species and there are decent numbers of fish being caught and next week there is strong winds forecast which could help entice some of the bigger species to move inshore and in some cases when the weather is considered “bad” the fishing is often good so whatever the weather why not get the rods out and try your luck.

Here are Worthing high tides times for the week ahead:

Monday 19th October: 05:27 (4.3m), 17:55 (4.1m)

Tuesday 20th October: 06:53 (4.2m), 19:31 (4.1m)

Wednesday 21st October: 08:18 (4.5m), 20:45 (4.5m)

Thursday 22nd October: 09:13 (5.0m), 21:32 (5.0m)

Friday 23rd October: 09:55 (5.4m), 22:12 (5.5m)

Saturday 24th October: 10:33 (5.8m), 22:49 (5.8m)

The past week has seen mixed weather with some cloud, rain and even some sunshine and moderate winds. The sea has been mainly calm and clear although inshore has been coloured at some venues. Next week’s weather looks more unsettled from mid-week onwards with stronger onshore winds and spells of rain which should turn the sea choppy and coloured.

Recently its noticeable with improvements with the local Ray fishing and Small Eyed Rays have been caught in reasonable numbers along with a few Undulate and Thornback Rays. Usually, night fishing tends to offer the best chance of catching a Ray locally although they will show during the daytime especially if the water holds some colour and Worthing Pier can produce Undulates when the sea is choppy and dirty. Venues that maybe worth trying when targeting Rays includes Eastbourne, Seaford, Hove, Shoreham, Bognor and Pagham.

It will not be long till Dogfish return in numbers once the onshore winds increase and the sea turns choppy and coloured and there is a chance of a Bull Huss appearing in amongst them and possibility of a late Hound.

Bass of a decent size are still being reported with good numbers of fish regularly showing to up to around 7lb with plenty of fish in the 2-4lb range to baits. If the winds are as predicted low tide fishing in the surf is likely to see Bass show and the usual venues such as Shoreham Harbour and Brighton Marina can see some larger fish caught and the local rivers are still holding plenty of Bass in the lower stretches.

The change in the weather could see some bigger Congers move inshore especially if the Whiting numbers increase but there are still lots of small straps about in darkness presently. Brighton Marina east arm has tended to produce the best Eels recently to around 28lb.

The Codling fishing remains slow, but conditions could see a few more show and there was a 61cm fish caught from Shoreham Harbour last week and there could be some Whiting and Pout about and increasing in numbers.

Whilst the sea has good clarity and relatively calm there are still reasonable numbers of summer species being caught including Black Bream, Gurnards, Red Mullet, Mullet, Garfish and there have been a couple of large Wrasse caught from Brighton Marina.

Again, whilst the sea is calm and clear there are Squid and Cuttlefish being caught mainly from Brighton Marina or the deeper water beaches.

Anglers specifically targeting Flatfish are finding good numbers of Sole about with fish coming in darkness from the beaches although Brighton Marina can see them caught in the daytime too and the water being coloured improves chances of catching one. Plaice and Flounders are about, and it won’t be too long before a few Dabs start appearing. Generally, Shoreham through to Brighton is best areas to target flatties with worm baits.

Prime Angling usual opening times are 8am till 5pm Monday to Saturday and 8am till 4pm Sundays. We are located at 26 Marine Parade, Worthing, BN11 3PT, just to the east of Worthing Pier with limited customer parking available at the front of the shop.

Good evening, the fishing locally continues to provide plenty of species for anglers to target in our inshore waters both big and small and there is certainly enough fish about to keep the rod tips rattling and with decent weather what better reason is there to grab the rods and give it a try.

Here are Worthing high tides times for the week ahead:

Monday 12th October: 00:40 (6.1m), 13:00 (6.2m)

Tuesday 13th October: 01:14 (6.1m), 13:31 (6.1m)

Wednesday 14th October: 01:48 (5.9m), 14:01 (5.9m)

Thursday 15th October: 02:22 (5.7m), 14:31 (5.7m)

Friday 16th October: 02:55 (5.4m), 15:02 (5.3m)

Saturday 17th October: 03:31 (5.0m), 15:38 (4.9m)

The weather during the past week has been mixed with calm conditions and clear seas starting off the week before wind arrived on Friday colouring the water up although the winds eased over the weekend and water clarity improved.

At this time of year, you never know what could appear on the end of your line and on Worthing Pier Saturday evening a Bull Huss of over 7lb was caught. Although Bull Huss are not rare a fish of that size locally is as majority are small. Dogfish have been caught in numbers locally in darkness and they will be caught during daylight in coloured seas.

Black Bream showed from local Worthing beaches with one angler catching a dozen sizable fish in less than a couple of hours during a match Wednesday night in calm and clear water. They have and will also be caught from many venues including Shoreham beach, Harbour and Marina.

Sizable Bass continue to be caught throughout the region mainly to baits although lure fishing will be worthwhile in the right conditions. Local beaches have seen quite a few fish in the 3lb region to worm baits whereas Shoreham Harbour and Brighton Marina often produces some bigger fish and in better quantities. Successful baits differ from venue to venue as will tactics used to catch them. The lower stretches of the local rivers can provide some good sport and fish to 5lb have been reported frequently during the past few weeks.

The calm and clear seas at the start of last week saw some good catches of Squid and Cuttlefish made mostly through darkness to Squid Jigs. Deep water beaches such as Brighton and Seaford saw the best results.

Although we are almost at mid-October there are still numerous summer species still regularly being caught which include Mullet, Garfish, odd Mackerel, Scad and Shad. Remember Shad are a protected species and must be returned. Structures will see a few Wrasse show and there will still be a few Gurnards and Red Mullet caught mainly around Shoreham and Brighton. Very small Smoothounds are still being caught mainly at night too.

Night fishing offers the best chance of catching a Ray locally and Thornback Rays catches are slowly increasing whilst Undulates seem scarce. Venues including Eastbourne, Seaford, Hove, Shoreham, Bognor and Pagham all regularly produce Rays and best areas to target them.

Small straps are still plentiful at night but again most seem to be extremely small fish and in most cases just a few ounces. Usually, this time of year sees the arrival of the larger Eels and signs are they arrived in Hampshire in last weeks beach matches but locally there seems a lack of decent Eels but John Humphrey caught a superb 28lb Conger from the Marina eastern arm this weekend which seems one of the best venues to try for a big Eel.

Only the occasional Codling seems to be reported lately along with the odd Whiting and Pout, but catches could improve in the coming weeks possibly.

Some years there is a late run of sizable Plaice from the deeper water beaches, and a few decent fish have shown from Seaford in the daytime and would be likely at Hove and Brighton too in the right conditions. Sole are still worth targeting at night or during the day if water is coloured with Brighton Marina and Shoreham worth targeting them with worm baits. Flounders are a random catch along with odd Dabs.

Prime Angling usual opening times are 8am till 5pm Monday to Saturday and 8am till 4pm Sundays. We are located at 26 Marine Parade, Worthing, BN11 3PT, just to the east of Worthing Pier with limited customer parking available at the front of the shop.

Good evening, locally the fishing is still producing some very good Bass and presently there is a vast range of species which are regularly showing and the targets can differ considerably with daytime and nighttime producing different catches so there is a lot on offer for local anglers to try for and with some nice weather what better reason is there to get the rods out and give it a try.

Here are Worthing high tides times for the week ahead:

Monday 5th October: 07:04 (4.7m), 19:43 (4.7m)

Tuesday 6th October: 08:32 (5.0m), 21:02 (5.0m)

Wednesday 7th October: 09:38 (5.5m), 22:01 (5.5m)

Thursday 8th October: 10:30 (5.9m), 22:48 (5.8m)

Friday 9th October: 11:15 (6.1m), 23:29 (6.0m)

Saturday 10th October: 11:53 (6.3m)

The weather during the weekend has seen plenty of warm sunshine and light winds causing the sea to be flat calm with good clarity.
Another week where there have been some superb Bass caught locally up to around 9lb with numerous decent sized fish landed and it’s at the time of year where some of the bigger Bass are likely to show and venues including Shoreham Harbour, Brighton Marina plus the local rivers are all worth targeting Bass for presently with majority of bigger fish caught to baits although lure fishing will produce a few fish where the clarity is good.

With light winds for the next few days and with high tides in darkness along with calm and clear water there could be some good catches of Squid taken on squid jigs from the Marina, Harbour and Pier along with deeper water beaches. The occasional Cuttlefish will also be taken on jigs.

Summer species are still showing in good numbers with Garfish, Mackerel, Scad and Shad about along with a variety of small bait fish which can vary from venues and in some cases will be caught to Sabikis. Garfish will be caught from the Pier, Harbour and Marina with Mackerel and Shad likely from the Marina and Harbour. Scad will be caught in darkness when the water is clear. Remember Shad are a protected species and must be returned.

Mullet can be caught from the beaches especially from Shoreham and Tide Mills with the best bait to use being red rag. A mixture of Goldies, Thin and Thick Lips are all possible catches locally from the Shore and Rivers.
The best of the local Ray fishing tends to occur during darkness with Thornback Rays catches increasing and there is always a chance of an Undulate Ray. Venues worth targeting them from include Eastbourne, Seaford, Hove, Shoreham, Bognor and Pagham.

There are still lots of very small Strap Congers being caught in darkness and most fish are below 1lb in weight. Brighton Marina has produced some very good fish in daytime tides from the East Arm and seems to the most reliable venue to target a proper Eel from recently. October and November often tend to see the larger Eels move inshore but at present most Eels are on the small side.

A few Codlings were caught last week with one coming from the Pier, one from the Marina and another from the beach. Evening tides this week could see more caught along with odd Whiting and Pout.

Black Bream are still being caught in good numbers with a mixture of sizes showing with many bigger fish caught during darkness. Gilt Head Bream are still randomly being caught too.

Other summer species including Red Mullet, Wrasse and Gurnards have featured in catches this week and at night the odd Dogfish, Silver Eel and small Hounds have been caught.

Anglers wishing to target flatties will find some reasonable Sole showing at night along with a few Plaice and Flounders with Shoreham through to Brighton the best areas to fish for them with worm baits.

Prime Angling usual opening times are 8am till 5pm Monday to Saturday and 8am till 4pm Sundays. We are located at 26 Marine Parade, Worthing, BN11 3PT, just to the east of Worthing Pier with limited customer parking available at the front of the shop.

Good evening, as we approach October this time of year can usually be considered when some of the best fishing can occur locally and it’s been another week where some nice Bass have been reported and presently the fishing is producing plenty of variety in terms of species although there is seemingly a lack of bigger fish which should hopefully change within the coming weeks but there still is lots of fish about and plenty of Squid so why not get out and give it ago.

Here are Worthing high tides times for the week ahead:

Monday 28th September: 00:35 (6.2m), 12:57 (6.3m)

Tuesday 29th September: 01:11 (6.2m), 13:33 (6.3m)

Wednesday 30th September: 01:49 (6.2m), 14:10 (6.2m)

Thursday 1st October: 02:30 (6.0m), 14:50 (6.0m)

Friday 2nd October: 03:16 (5.7m), 15:37 (5.6m)

Saturday 3rd October: 04:12 (5.3m), 16:37 (5.1m)

The weather has been decent during the past week with plenty of sunshine and lightish winds and the water clarity has been good from most venues.

Bass continue to be caught in good numbers with some very nice fish still showing with venues such as Shoreham Harbour west arm and Brighton Marina the most reliable venues to produce good fish although lower stretches of the local rivers are still fishing well on occasions. Bass will be caught at this time of year to a wide variety of baits and methods, and lure fishing is certainly worthwhile in the right conditions.

Thornback Rays have figured more in local catches during the past week with plenty caught especially from beaches such as Hove and Seaford. Undulate Rays are still about with the occasional big fish caught along with plenty of smaller ones and most Rays currently are caught in darkness.

Very small Strap Congers have dominated and, in some cases, ruined some anglers night fishing trips lately and majority of fish are only a few ounces. The Eels have been caught to most baits and can tangle your snoods up but into October usually sees some of the bigger Eels move in especially when Whiting shoals arrive. Brighton Marina east arm is best place to target a decent Conger in the current conditions.

After a couple of Codling were caught locally a week or so ago hopes were high of a few more showing but no reports of any others although Whiting are slowly moving in with the odd fish caught along with a few big Pout.

With big tides and clear water there should be species such as Garfish, Mackerel, Scad and Shad about. Garfish will be caught from the Pier, Harbour and Marina with Mackerel and Shad likely from the Marina and Harbour. Scad will be caught in darkness when the water is clear. Remember Shad are a protected species and must be returned.

The Squid fishing has been steady with some days fishing a lot better than others and generally evening tides should produce Squid to Squid Jigs with structures such as the Pier, Harbour or Marina worth targeting them from ideally with calm and clear water in darkness although deeper water beaches such as Shoreham, Brighton and Seaford will all fish well in the right conditions.

There are still good numbers of Black Bream about although many are small there still are some decent sized fish caught recently on the night tides.

Other summer species including Mullet, Red Mullet, Wrasse and Gurnards have featured in catches this week and at night the odd Dogfish, Silver Eel and small Hounds have been caught.

There is a mixture of flatfish coming out in small numbers with Sole, Plaice and Flounders showing between Worthing and Brighton to worm baits.

Prime Angling usual opening times are 8am till 5pm Monday to Saturday and 8am till 4pm Sundays. We are located at 26 Marine Parade, Worthing, BN11 3PT, just to the east of Worthing Pier with limited customer parking available at the front of the shop.

Please send us pictures of your recent local catches via our page messenger or email and we will aim to publish them for you in the weekly report. Please note we DO NOT claim ANY FISH used and mentioned in our reports are caught on our baits or tackle, it is a report to show what has and is likely to be caught locally.

Good luck & Tight Lines!
