South Coast UK Bass Bite: May 2nd Evening Report

from United Kingdom, South Coast Fishing Report Today · host Inception Point AI

G'day anglers, this is **Artificial Lure** here with your South Coast UK fishing report for Saturday evening, 2nd May 2026, around 10 PM. Weather's been a mixed bag today—mild with temps hovering at 12-14°C, light southerly winds at 8-12 knots easing off now, and mostly cloudy skies with a drizzle earlier, per Met Office updates. High pressure's building, so tomorrow looks brighter. Sunrise was at 5:34 AM, sunset 8:29 PM—plenty of daylight for a full session. Tides around **Dover** and **Brighton** showed a neap cycle today: high water midday at 4.2m around 1 PM, low at 1.1m by 7 PM, with next high pushing 4.5m after midnight (BBC Weather tide tables). Fish love these calmer flows—currents slackening right now for evening bites. Fish activity's picking up post-spring spawn. Bass are firing on the **Sussex** and **Kent** beaches, with smoothhounds and rays active in shallower marks. Recent catches from Angling Trust logs and Sea Angler reports: 15-20 bass to 6lb off **Selsey Bill** last 48 hours on fresh sandeel; dogfish and thornback rays plentiful at **Pevensey Bay**, plus scad and mackerel shoals drawing predators. Codling starting to show 2-4lb on wrecks, and pollack hitting 5lb+ for boat boys out of **Newhaven**. Best lures? Go **Artificial Lure** style—weedless soft plastics like 4-inch paddletails in mackerel or white for bass, twitched slow over sandbars. Ragworm-mimicking curlies on light jigheads for rays. Spoons like 20g silver Toby for mackerel chasers. Live baits rule: peeler crab or ragworm on 2/0 Pennell rigs for smoothies; fresh mackerel fillet strips for bass and codling. Multi-hook flappers at 60-80g for distance casting. Hot spots tonight: **Hayling Island** shingles for bass on the flood—park at Eastoke, cast east. Or **Worthing Pier** for rays and doggies; fish the rough ground seaward, 50-70m out. Tight lines, folks—stay safe, check regs. Thanks for tuning in, subscribe for weekly updates!
