after two blanks already at east ferry i decided to give it another go 15-20 mins what i reckon was bass making an attempt to hit my lure (heavy splash in water) was the only excitement untill about half 9 when i got a definite interest in the crab after a couple of tugs from the fish i lifted the rod one last tug when it was in my hand went to reel in and all went slack no fish im jw has anyone any advice when fishing here i know they say keep trying but just isnt looking good will have to give it another go all the same

Best advise for East Ferry is to fish some place else !!!

[sandblaster]

[razor2]

I blanked an AWFUl lot more than 4 times before I learned where and when to fish for bass I suppose there was no internet then.... Jaysus, I sound old !!

[chrisoc96]

yaa ive a new spot there im hoping to try tomorrow after spending a bit cycling by the water just to see how it goes now is the next thing is a 2/0 pennel to small for bass ? and is it to big for flatties ? :L

In the ferry, that's an advantage

[chrisoc96]

just wanna say sound for all the pms,,, going to give it a go on Wednesday seems im better off to kinda move up or down from the church any more advice from people who've fished here before be highly grateful

When fishing in east ferry u should excpect to wet a line , and a ball of lead to hit the seabed and if ur lucky some sea weed.
Its useless that place

a boat definatly helps,had fine size thornie at the mouth once and bass are caught there occaisionally but usually fall to boat anglers...i had a pollock chase my sidewinder right into my sight and loose interest at the start of the summer..
i will catch something there from shore tho sometime!

East Ferry, isn't a total dead loss - here's a list of species I've had from there:- conger (s), ballan wrasse, corkwing wrasse, goldsinny wrasse, rockling (s), blenny, poor cod, pollack (s), coalfish (s), whiting, codling (s), tub gurnard, bass (s), thick lipped mullet (s), thornback ray, lsd (s), flounder (s), seatrout (s), mackeral (s), scad....and on lures I've had bass, ballan wrasse, pollack, coalfish, codling, tub gurnard, seatrout, and mackeral.

[chrisoc96]

is that from shore or boat pat ?

[Pat]

All the ones marked (s) were caught from the shore aswell as boat.

Pat your mad,your pms will be full by the weekend
