Hot water, lots of shrimp and prawns in the shallows with plenty of fish active as the tide flooded last night. 6s being caught with a 7 on the previous spring tide.
Reports of a near record Golden Grey being caught only the other day.
Bread feeder and popup on a q tip being the in method.

Get in there
The lack of wind in recent weeks has led to to some really clear water right now, simply perfect for lure fishing from the shoreline so Im forsaking the mullet for the bass over the next few days.
A lure angler I spoke to last night had just released a 5 and had caught a 6 at the weekend and told me he was going to have a go at the mullet, not with bread but with a fly rod.
The real aficionados were out last night catching sole, a friend who is a sole specialist has been getting 3plussers, to his eyes that lovely looking fish and best of all he releases every one he catches.
