predictable fishing.

[pete the plug]

Hi cortaz, I've been fishing for the last 7/8 days using your predictions,I was really fired up today but drew a blank. this is no reflection of the predictions, today was the first day in the last week that I've seen any bait fish sand eels by the thousand, I also put up 3 small bass in the shallows while wading plus another slightly larger.I was on my local mark a bit later than I would have liked and was pushed off by hte tide 2-3 hours laterthe sun was bright and the sea dead calm, not ideal, I tried all the usual plugs in areas I know that hold fish.I'll be out again for the rest of the week and will let you know how I get on.
Pete.

Hi Cortaz, my ipod app tells me that the 5th, 6th, 13th, 14th 26th, 27th and the 28th are the best fishing days in may with the 27th and 28th being the best. The app gives times as well, example: 27th - 06.00-08.00, 12.00-14.00 and 18.30-20.00.

Does these dates/times match your calculations?

Thanks in advance.

had a look and they are all good days and times,
I.M.O. the 13/4th are best.

A few questions i wanted to ask after reading through the topic

what length is the black red gill that you use mostly

what colur is the flying c that you mostly use

are the the best lures or are there more better ones

would you use mostly bait or lures for this time of the year

one last question can you tell me the time to go fishing from the 24th to the 30th of june

R.D. ya took the time to read through all that! fair play to ya.
1. 5in. blackor white on 3 ft. running ledger retreved slowly along or just above bottom, still the most effective method i know for pollock, works well for bass every were est in tiderips/races.
2.copper/red in the eve. black silver in the day. size 2/3 best.
3.there are probaly better lures outthere, however fished correctly, both would hold there own.
4. 4/6am.12/2pm.9/11pm.
