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.

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.

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.
