Todays catch reports :)

Brighton Inshore Fishing - Catch report 26th May 2026 JP and Billy returning, Lee and his lad Ralph new to BIF1, and off out to yet more dreamy flat seas. And immediately (and as it turned out thankfully) into a flock of seagulls. Not the rock group that came from Canvey Island, but the real deal. Feathers and everything. Why are they important? Well,....

Brighton Inshore Fishing - Catch report 25th May 2026 First sailing and a family affair. Peter and his brother David (David being new to fishing) with the whole boat for plenty of space for his tuition. Not that he needed it as he was a good listener and fairly nailed what was required pretty quickly. To the point he had 3 fish before Peter got into ge...

Brighton Inshore Fishing - catch report 24th May 2026 kind of similar to yesterday's first session. but with zero table fish. less gulls around meant less Brit and sandeel, but we quite quickly found (by hearing) a particularly raucous flock. Fish showing on the surface but I declined requests for surface lures due to said gulls. With me Cameron, Charl...

Brighton Inshore Fishing - catch report 23rd May 2026 A cracking first sailing. Reports from friends fishing ashore down towards Shoreham of birds everywhere, but we only got as far as the pier where Heldar, Milan, Saaron and Liam pulled the bulk of the 58 bass landed. maximum kill. For the last hour we left the shoal to vessels exiting the marina to l...

Brighton Inshore Fishing - Catch report 22nd May 2026 First sailing, out with David, Andy and Liam, and Liam had bought along his friend and business associate David, to kill 2 birds with one stone. Mixing fishing with strategy meetings is highly recommended. Forewarned about the mass of sandeels down west, it didnt take long before the gulls pointed o...

Brighton Inshore Fishing - Catch report 16th May 2026 Once again only the super early start surviving the weather forecast, as from mid morning, stiff SW breezes are due to ruin the day. With me Dean, Ian and Mark, all returnee's, and Cezar, come to check out the fishyrob operation for the first time. And almost yet another catastrophe as up until the....

Brighton Inshore Fishing - Catch report 11th May 2026 First sailing, and possibly as a result of sailings not being very good lately just two lambs for some slaughtering. Slaughtering time with boredom as bass fishing without bass is very tedious. Not quite so poor this time for John and Simon. We did encounter some shoals of small fish, with five land...

Brighton Inshore Fishing - Catch report 6th May 2026 I always feel a bit sorry for clients booking in with me after I have been away from the bass for a while. At this time of year, so much is going on from a food related perspective that a few days with them is needed to get ahead of the game. My two weeks in Portugal left me stabbing in the dark. Al...

Todays cuttle fishing report :)

Brighton Inshore Fishing - Cuttle fishing report 5th May 2026 Travelled back to the UK from a fly fishing with friends / relaxing with friends fortnight in Portugal, to what on paper was ideal conditions for catching cuttlefish. A dieing tide, and forecast zero winds. Except of course for the most of it we had an unpredicted stiff NE wind, which effectively ma...

Brighton Inshore Fishing - Catch report 31st December 2025 Wow... Another year gone... How does it happen so fast... Was it a good year. It didn't feel like one, but browsing back through the diary entries it clearly wasn't terrible either. Anyhow, I wont be doing a "review of the year" thing. Help yourself to review the last eight years (although you have....
