Went out for a few hours down Copthorne today fished maybe 10am untill 2pm cauhjt one tiddler flounder few other devent knocks only used rag and lug didnt want to splash out on bait too much as heard there aint been much caught lately enjoyed the day out even tho only managed the one fish.

At least it got you out the house for a few hours & welcome to the forum mate.

Try mackerel for bait next time your there, its a lot cheaper and is just as good as worm baits at the copthorne

better than blanking mate and welcome to site

[Lee Taylor]

yeah cheers for that outkast i was going to get some black lug and some bluey or makerel but didnt want to push th boat out as i hadnt heard anything about fish being caught for a while.

Welcome to the site mate, like outkast says macky is a good bait at the
copethorne, no need to cast far either, just a gentle lob will catch fish.

i'll definately try it nex time like was another guy few yarss further up from me fishing too he only managed a small codling and a small flounder too like thought that may be worth a mention thanks for all the tips so far though fellas much appreciated and will definatley try it out next time.
