Finally some rain !!!

So with the rivers receiving some long awaited fresh water team member Jack wasted zero time on getting straight back onto the stripeys !
Molix sticks doing the business he landed a few good sized perch !

Thankfully with the return of the wet stuff falling i expect all our rivers will finally start producing some good fish for the back end of the warmer months 🤞🤞

looking forward to seeing everyones catches over the next month

Good evening, firstly we hope you are all enjoying the bank holiday weekend and maybe managing to get out and catch some fish. The fishing locally had been very good last week with huge numbers of Mackerel but a change in the weather during the weekend has meant conditions and target species change and with more winds predicted for the week ahead the fishing should be unpredictable and can vary by venue so why not get the rods out and try your luck.

Here are Worthing high tides times for the week ahead:

Monday 31st August: 01:39 (6.1m), 14:03 (6.2m)

Tuesday 1st September: 02:13 (6.0m), 14:36 (6.1m)

Wednesday 2nd September: 02:51 (5.9m), 15:12 (6.0m)

Thursday 3rd September: 03:31 (5.6m), 15:56 (5.7m)

Friday 4th September: 04:20 (5.3m), 16:48 (5.3m)

Saturday 5th September: 05:28 (4.9m), 18:04 (4.8m)

After a prolonged settled spell with mainly dry and sunny weather the winds finally increased Saturday causing the sea to turn choppy and colour up. Next week more winds are predicted so conditions will vary depending on venues fished.

Mackerel have again been caught in big numbers with plenty of large shoals along our coastline recently especially from Seaford, Brighton, Shoreham and Worthing. The wind over the weekend and the colouring of the water means they might not show up again till the clarity improves.

Garfish are slowly making a return with a few caught from Brighton Marina and Worthing Pier is usually a good venue for them in September and October. Quite a few Shad have been caught and as a protected species must be returned alive. Brighton Marina has again been the venue to target Scad especially from the West Arm at night although a few are caught from Shoreham and Worthing.

Recent matches on Shoreham Beach have seen a few Undulate Rays to around 10lb caught with some smaller ones also appearing and there is always a chance of late Stingray or Thornback locally.

As the nights draw in and the weather becomes more unsettled Codling will become a realistic possibility locally during September or October along with Pouts and early Whiting. Last week saw small numbers of Squid appear from the beaches at Brighton.

There still lots of Black Bream about with a mixture of sizes ranging from micro to sizable and can be caught both during the day and at night. Shoreham and Brighton tend to produce better sized fish plus there is a chance of the occasional Gilt Head Bream although best place to target them would be Chichester Harbour.

Regardless of the sea conditions Bass are still a worthwhile target with numerous sizable fish caught during the past week and coloured water means Bass will turn to baits rather than lures which are more worthwhile once the sea calms and clears. The local rivers hold Bass mainly in the lower stretches and other venues worth trying to include Brighton Marina and Shoreham Harbour.

To target flatfish Brighton or Shoreham are worthwhile venues to fish with worm baits likely to find Plaice, Flounders and some Soles.

In the right conditions Mullet can be caught from the rivers and beaches with calm and clear water on daytime tides and there are three species of Mullet to target including Thin Lips, Thick Lips and Golden Grey Mullet. Usually shoals of Mullet can be spotted in clear water and are often found in very shallow water.

During any spells of unsettled weather chances increases of a few better sized Congers along with vast numbers of tiny straps. Brighton Marina east arm often produces fish on the higher pegs even during the daytime whereas Worthing Pier can fish well in darkness on occasions.

Although not in numbers the following species can be caught locally such as Red Mullet, Smelt, Gurnards, Wrasse, and small Hounds.

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. For bait availability it is advisable to phone us on 01903 821594. We also stock a large variety of frozen sea baits as well as a wide range of freshwater baits and tackle.

Visit our online website at primeangling.co.uk with plenty of new stock regularly added so keep an eye on our page for updates which will include plenty of new items from Japan.

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!

Good evening, the fishing locally has certainly improved throughout the past week or so and pleasingly it is good to see so many Mackerel shoals along our beaches after it was predicted to be a poor summer for them, also there is a wide variety of other species coming up throughout the region so there is plenty to warrant getting the rods out and giving it ago.

Here are Worthing high tides times for the week ahead:

Monday 24th August: 09:43 (4.6m), 21:59 (4.7m)

Tuesday 25th August: 10:30 (5.1m), 22:43 (5.1m)

Wednesday 26th August: 11:11 (5.4m), 23:21 (5.5m)

Thursday 27th August: 11:47 (5.7m), 23:57 (5.7m)

Friday 28th August: 12:22 (5.9m)

Saturday 29th August: 00:31 (5.9m), 12:57 (6.1m)

The weather during the past week has again been decent with plenty of sunshine and light winds although the temperatures have been lower than recent weeks and we were even blessed with rain. The sea has had good clarity and been mostly calm.

Mackerel which were seemingly scarce for much of the summer have moved inshore in vast shoals throughout much of the region during the past week with big catches made from Seaford, Newhaven, Brighton, Shoreham and Worthing.

Along with Mackerel other species such as Scad, Garfish and Shad have all been caught to similar methods with Scads mostly caught during darkness or dawn and dusk with Brighton Marina the best venue to target them.

Black Bream are still being caught both during the day and night with a mixture of sized fish and they will be caught to most baits with small hooks improving your catch rates. Some venues do tend to hold better sized fish such as Brighton Marina and Shoreham Harbour. Gilt Head Breams are also occasionally showing up with Brighton Marina, Kingston Beach and Chichester Harbour producing regular catches.

Shoreham and Brighton are still providing some good Bass catches and fish to 6lb have been caught recently. With the Mackerel inshore in huge numbers live baiting could result in larger Bass with the Marina and Harbour venues worth trying. In the right conditions and tides lure fishing can be worth while especially at dawn or dusk. The lower stretches of the local rivers are still holding sizable Bass and can be targeted with lures or bait.

Mullet are still about with plenty of fish visible from shore and local rivers with Goldies being caught regularly from Lancing, Shoreham and Tide Mills whereas Thin and Thick Lipped Mullet can be targeted in local rivers as well as structures such as Marina, Harbour and Pier. Mullet are often found in extremely shallow water and often just beyond the water’s edge at some beaches.

Anglers wishing to target flatfish will find a few Plaice and Flounders to worm baits with Shoreham through to Brighton areas worth fishing during the daytime and this area will also see Soles caught at night.

Many Congers are extremely small straps but with Mackerel about in numbers fishing a big Mackerel bait could entice any larger Eel that have followed them inshore with darkness offering best chance of finding one.

Also, the following species can be caught locally such as Red Mullet, Smelt, Gurnards, Wrasse, Hounds and possibility of a Ray. Codling could be a realistic target in the coming weeks with fish usually arriving late August into early September.

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. For bait availability it is advisable to phone us on 01903 821594. We also stock a large variety of frozen sea baits as well as a wide range of freshwater baits and tackle.

Good evening, the fishing at present is certainly “hit and miss” with some tides producing plenty of fish then the next seems to be a struggle. This week saw improved catches of Mackerel seemingly on one tide, Mullet still about in numbers, Bass catches remain consistent with numerous sizable fish, plus there is still a good variety of species available to target locally so why not get the rods out and try your luck.

Here are Worthing high tides times for the week ahead:

Monday 17th August: 02:58 (6.0m), 15:22 (6.1m)

Tuesday 18th August: 03:34 (5.7m), 15:56 (5.8m)

Wednesday 19th August: 04:10 (5.4m), 16:32 (5.4m)

Thursday 20th August: 04:51 (4.9m), 17:14 (4.9m)

Friday 21st August: 05:43 (4.5m), 18:10 (4.5m)

Saturday 22nd August: 06:57 (4.1m), 19:36 (4.2m)

Another week of weather consisting of light winds, sunshine and warm temperatures although next week the temperatures are expected to decrease slightly with brisk variable winds and a small chance of the odd rain shower. The sea has been very clear and mostly calm.

Mackerel finally made an appearance at Worthing Pier last week but only on one tide which was last Wednesday where approximately 150 fish were caught. Following tides resulted in normality with no Mackerel caught despite the same sea and weather conditions. Mackerel have also been caught at Seaford beach, Brighton Marina and Shoreham Harbour but again catches are not guaranteed. Garfish seem to be returning with fish spotted chasing lures and on surface in small shoals. Scads are again plentiful from Brighton Marina with occasional ones caught at Shoreham Harbour.

Black Bream are a regular catch throughout the region with a mixture of size fish and can be caught both in the daytime or during darkness. Most fish are small, but some venues have thrown up better sized fish. Chichester Harbour holds good numbers of Gilt Head Breams of a decent size whereas the occasional smaller ones get caught from the beaches as well as a few from Brighton Marina.

Bass remain a viable target at most venues and are possible catches both during the day or at night, low tide or high tide, dependant on the venue fished. Dawn and dusk low tide fishing around Worthing has on occasions produced some nice fish and baits are accounting for numerous fish from the shore and local rivers. Venues worth trying to include Brighton Marina and Shoreham Harbour and areas of the rivers hold good numbers of sizable Bass. Live baiting a Scads or Mackerel can often pick out larger fish, worms generally produce Schoolies.

Mullet have again been spotted in the shallows and on occasions in very big shoals. Last weekend match angler Tony Macdonald caught 19 Goldies in 4 hours from a local beach and venues worth targeting them include Lancing, Shoreham and Tide Mills with red rag the bait needed to entice them. Thin and Thick Lipped Mullet are also seen in smaller shoals but are bigger fish and can be targeted from structures such as Worthing Pier, Shoreham Harbour or Brighton Marina or from all 3 local rivers.

Flatfish are widespread but in small numbers with a mixture of Plaice, Flounders and Sole with worm baits accounting for most fish. Best areas for targeting a sizable Plaice would be from Shoreham, Hove or Brighton and these venues are all worth trying at night aiming for Soles. A Sole was caught in a match from Worthing Pier last week along with small Plaice. Flounders can turn up anywhere from the shore as well as bring present in the local rivers.

Most Congers caught recently seem to extremely small straps with some below even 1lb in weight. Nighttime tides offer best chance of catching a bigger Eel although Brighton Marina can see some better fish caught in the daytime. Smoothound and Ray catches are quite scarce bar the odd small fish but again both species could turn up with bigger fish showing in the right conditions. Tope remain a possible catch from Selsey and Bracklesham.

Also, the following species can be caught locally occasionally such as Red Mullet, Smelt, Gurnards and Wrasse. A Codling was caught this weekend in East Sussex, and it should not be too long before they feature more locally.

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.

Some like it "Flat"

What a terrible play on words 😂,
But theres a fair few of us that seem to find fun and excitement in stalking arguably the best evolution of camouflage in the fish world ! theres nothing like trying to distinguish shapes in the sand or shining lights at night hoping for a small pinhead of reflection to give away what lies at your feet ! often some of the most available fishing to the lucky anglers that live near estuaries and harbours and also the most rewarding as a solid flounder will give a phenomenal account for itself on light gear !

So who of you have that mindset to stare at the ground for hours on end ?? show us some pics below of your favourite pancakes below

Good evening, the fishing lately is producing some good reports of fish most notably Bass, Bream and Mullet and with the prolonged spell of hot weather, calm seas, often scaling down and fishing different baits such as Red Rag and small hooks can be the difference between catching and not catching but there are still plenty of other species worth targeting too so why not get out and give it a go.

Here are Worthing high tides times for the week ahead:

Monday 10th August: 09:49 (5.2m), 22:13 (5.4m)

Tuesday 11th August: 10:54 (5.7m), 23:12 (5.8m)

Wednesday 12th August: 11:52 (6.0m)

Thursday 13th August: 00:08 (6.1m), 12:44 (6.3m)

Friday 14th August: 00:58 (6.2m), 13:30 (6.4m)

Saturday 15th August: 01:42 (6.2m), 14:11 (6.4m)

Still no change in the weather with yet more dry, sunny and hot conditions and very little change is expected for next week with light winds and big tides for the coming week. The sea is still very clear after being calm most days.
More good catches of Bass during the past week with fish up to 7lb caught locally with good numbers of sizable fish showing both to lure and bait anglers. Lure fishing at dawn or dusk coinciding with either low or high tide can offer good results with some venues more likely to produce fish over high water whereas some venues fish better at low water wading out into the shallows. Variety of baits are catching at present with some venues seeing better catches to certain baits over others, so success is using the right bait at a given venue.

This year’s weather and sea conditions have meant there seems to be a lot more Mullet around than previous years and a local beach match fished between 5 anglers this weekend produced 54 Mullet with the winner having a superb total of 19 Mullet with red rag the bait to use. Venues worth trying includes Lancing, Shoreham and Tide Mills at Newhaven and the local rivers all hold Thin and Thick Lipped Mullet.

Brighton Marina has again been the venue where Scads seem plentiful and caught in darkness along with occasional daytime catches of Mackerel. Inshore boats are finding a few shoals of Mackerel so hopefully a few may appear closer to the shore on the bigger tides this week but as reported Mackerel numbers are drastically down on previous years.

A few flatfish have been caught with Plaice, Flounders and Sole all possible catches mainly between Shoreham and Brighton with the Marina probably the most reliable venue to target them in terms of numbers and quality of fish with worm baits best baits to use.

Black Bream continue to be prolific throughout the region with a mixture of size fish although the majority are small, but some venues have thrown up better sized fish at times which can be caught in numbers both during the day or at night. Noted venues worth targeting them include Brighton Marina, Shoreham Harbour or beaches including Widewater and Selsey. Chichester Harbour holds good numbers of Gilt Head Breams of a decent size whereas the occasional smaller ones get caught from the beaches as well as a few from Brighton Marina.

Best chance of catching some of the bigger species such as Smoothounds and Congers will be fishing at night although most Congers now are very small straps but there is always the possibility of a bigger fish in amongst them. Ray fishing locally is slow with the odd Undulate and Thornback occasionally being caught.

Other occasional species caught locally are likely to include Smelt, Red Mullet, Gurnards and Wrasse. Again, as its August it would not be unusual to see a Codling turn up soon.

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 there are signs of improvement with the fishing locally noticeably the number of sizable Bass showing plus some of the bigger species are still appearing during darkness, also as Sussex holds a wide variety of species which can be targeted presently there is plenty of reasons to get the rods out and give it a try.

Here are Worthing high tides times for the week ahead:

Monday 3rd August: 02:39 (5.8m), 15:06 (5.9m)

Tuesday 4th August: 03:15 (5.7m), 15:42 (5.8m)

Wednesday 5th August: 03:56 (5.5m), 16:25 (5.6m)

Thursday 6th August: 04:45 (5.3m), 17:18 (5.3m)

Friday 7th August: 05:48 (5.0m), 18:25 (5.1m)

Saturday 8th August: 07:07 (4.8m), 19:46 (4.9m)

Yet more dry, sunny and hot weather during the past week with generally light winds meaning the sea has been calm and clear for majority of the time. W**d has been a slight issue generally to the west but is improving by the tide. Next week sees similar weather with brisk winds midweek before easing towards the weekend.

During the past week or so catches of sizeable Bass are certainly increasing with numerous reports of fish throughout the region. When conditions allow lure fishing can be worthwhile especially at dawn and dusk plus baits including worms have accounted for plenty of fish along with some smaller Bass. Live baiting can pick out a few larger fish as can crab baits especially if they are peeling local to where you are fishing.

This weekend saw an improvement to the local flatfish catches both in terms of numbers and size with some nice sized Plaice from the Marina along with a few Flounders and Sole. In general Shoreham though to Brighton Marina is the most consistent areas for catching flatties and Sole fishing can be worthwhile in darkness.

Black Bream remain prolific with a mixture of size fish which can be caught in numbers both during the day or at night. Noted venues worth targeting them include Brighton Marina, Shoreham Harbour or beaches including Widewater and Selsey. Chichester Harbour holds good numbers of Gilt Head Breams of a decent size whereas the occasional smaller ones get caught from the beaches.

Shoals of Mullet have been spotted again this week in shallow water from the beaches as well as being seen in the local rivers. Goldies can be caught from venues including Shoreham at the Burrells and Tide Mills at Newhaven using red rag as bait and Thin and Thick Lipped Mullet are most common in the rivers.

Brighton Marina has again seen Scads caught in darkness and occasional daytime catches of Mackerel. Scads have been caught in smaller numbers from Shoreham and are likely from Worthing Pier on evening tides.

Night fishing has produced a few of the bigger species with some decent Smoothounds caught from Worthing Pier during a club event and a few Rays and Congers have been caught from the beaches although most Eels are small straps. Stingrays could still show from venues such as Ferring, Kingston Gorse or East Preston but are usually smaller fish than what turn up earlier in the spring.

Other occasional species caught locally are likely to include Red Mullet, Gurnards and Wrasse. Again, as its August it would not be unusual to see a Codling turn up with fish reported by inshore boats this past week.

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.
