Sea Fishing Southwold (Suffolk)

Its the Third week of July and the hot weather from 3 weeks ago is back.
Several days of settled warm weather gives me the opportunity to head down to Southwold and target some Sole.
I have a late evening high tide (10.15pm) calm sea and a light south westerly wind, ideal conditions.
Temp on the way down was high 20s but as soon as the sun dipped down and with the light sea breeze, it felt comfortable....
Facilities for this venue are in the nearby town. Tackle/Bait shop , supermarket, cafes, pubs etc. There are public toilets near the pier.

I’ve walked down that bit of Southwold but never thought of fishing it.👍

[@david892006]

I only fished that far end as the beach was so busy. Just either side of the pier is good. Another area that's been suggested is the Gun Hill area 👍

[@ClivePlatt-jk7im]

Another good video buddy and loads of fish and a lovely bass i would have had that one for my tea

[@david892006]

It was tempting, but it meant keeping it in very warm weather, even the sea water was warm 👍

[@chrisgates9433]

Great outing to a promising venue - maybe it needs a longer spell of settled weather to draw the fish in… look forward to giving it another go.

[@david892006]

Definitely Chris. Might be worth a really late one into morning. I'll keep tabs on it

[@carldawson832]

Nice one on the bass n sole. I had a 34 , n a 36cm sole last week . And a few friends. Cleethorpes on the humber. Love the show. All the best from G.Y

[@david892006]

Hello Dave👋 I am a bit of a catch up with videos life as being a bit hectic just of late needed some chill time. Thank you for bringing us another quality video buddy i enjoyed this one well done on the fish especially the Sole one of my favourite fish its surprising we catch them with the mouths there have but there are beautiful fish. I will be working through the videos soon and get caught up buddy in the meantime take care and tight lines 🎣 👍

[@david892006]

Nice one John. I just watched your Sole video. They were a couple of lovely fish . I didn't realise you got them in the Humber 👍

[@LevosAnglingAdventures]

@@david892006 Hessle Foreshore dose seems to hold a fair few Dave that was my biggest so far at 31cm but there must be a few bigger ones it good at this time of year tight lines buddy 🎣 👍

Enjoyable video. Dunwich during the day was hard going, bright sun and really hot conditions really knocked the fishing on its head apart from 1 lone bass. I'll have to give it a go into darkess next week after seeing your session. Rods look good, what are they?

[@david892006]

Those rods are the Daiwa Crosscast 14ft 3 piece. My travel/holiday rods as they fit inside the car easier. Very sensitive but can cast 60oz. Always better after dark this time of the year 👍

[@bickmore1979]

​@@david892006 thanks for that, yeah daytime fishing during summer is hard going. I'll definitely take a look at the crosscasts, just wanting something with a really sensitive tip. Thanks, and keep up the great videos 👍

[@homemadecookingonabudget9048]

great video matey i would of kept the bass 🤪🤪🤪👍👍👍

[@david892006]

I would have if it had been later in the session. I had no way of keeping it cool . I'll take a cool box and ice packs next time 👍

[@homemadecookingonabudget9048]

@@david892006 im just happy to catch anything David 👍👍👍

[@david892006]

@homemadecookingonabudget9048 This time of the year and these conditions, should be plenty of Bass early morning or late evening 👍

[@johnspalton3628]

Nice m8

[@CODHELPUS]

Great video and content mate. Just curios as to what rods you were using, they look very nice and tippy but also powerful ?

[@david892006]

Thanks for watching. Those rods are Daiwa Crosscast surf 14ft (3 piece) and can handle up to 225g Still available now, Ive had mine around 5 years. I bought them for holiday fishing as they pack down easier for the car 👍

[@luapnitsua5859]

Hey bud.New to your Channel and as a 45yr 'Norfolk dumpling ' myself I watched a few videos but have yet to see any fishing at Cromer and Dunwich.. Enjoy the rest of this evening and if you have any further suggestions I would appreciate them .Many thanks mate 💯👍

[@david892006]

Hi. Thanks for watching. Cromer is a hard venue to fish/film because it's so popular with tourists. I intend to cover the pier when it's quieter. There also major sea defense work at West Cromer going on this summer. Dunwich I have covered in another video 👍

[@luapnitsua5859]

@@david892006 Thank you for the reply and I appreciate Cromer can/is difficult.Have a great evening and again thanks for the video 💯👍
