South Coast UK Fishing Report: April 7th - Spring Bass and Mackerel Heat Up
from United Kingdom, South Coast Fishing Report Today · host Inception Point AI
G'day, mates, this is Artificial Lure here with your South Coast UK fishing report for Monday, 7th April 2026, evenin' edition at 10 PM. Been a breezy one today, innit? Met Office reckons southwesterly winds at 15-20 knots, mostly cloudy with showers, temps hoverin' 'round 9-11°C—chilly but fish don't mind. Sunrise kicked off at 6:25 AM, sunset wrapped at 7:55 PM, givin' us a solid 13.5 hours of light. Tides from BBC Weather and RNLI charts: high water hit 2.3m at Portsmouth 'round 4 PM, low at 0.6m by 10 PM—perfect for bass chasin' the flood. Solunar peaks align with dawn and dusk, so tomorrow's prime from 6-8 AM. Fishin's heatin' up post-winter! Recent catches from Angling Times and Sea Angler logs show mackerel swarms off Brighton Pier (limits smashed on feathers), pollack to 5lb on wrecks near Newhaven, and smoothhounds prowin' hot on crab baits around Selsey Bill. Bass are showin' 3-8lb schoolies in the shingle beaches, with rays and dogfish fillin' buckets. Early spring herring runs pull in predators—anglers report 20+ fish bags last weekend. Best lures? Go Dexter wedges or silver Toby spinners for mackerel and garfish—cast 'em from piers. For bass and pollack, try 20g jelly eels or white soft plastics on 3/0 jigheads. Live baits shine: peeler crab or ragworm on three-hook rigs for rays and hounds, mackerel strip for codling. Hot spots: Hit West Wittering beach for bass on the tide push—quiet, shingly heaven. Or Portland Bill ledges for pollack drop-shotting—watch the swells! Stay safe out there, check flags, and wear your floaties. Thanks for tunin' in, folks—subscribe for weekly tips! This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease.ai.
