[@londoncityangler4200]

Be looking at the areas around thamesmead and the Woolich ferry also depford creak can be good. What is ds just out of interest? Or is it drop shorting

[@darknomad911]

Yes dropshotting

Would you take a sea fishing newbie with you out to fish?

[@londoncityangler4200]

Hello does anyone no the Postcode For that fishing spot

[@mbish8815]

Lovely little spot that outflow careful not to be cut off when high tide though float fish maddies sourced from under the rocks at low tide then traditional sea methods when tide turns 👍

[@Zanderrrrrrrrrr]

[@roymichaeldeanable]

Definitely not Erith...I was there last week....there's a wall...all along the river around there

[@purpleheadedwombwarrior5534]

Some of them rattles are mitten 🦀

[@londoncityangler4200]

yeah definitely but there not too much of a problem.

[@NikoHL]

Hi... Could I use a lure at this location, instead of bait...?

[@londoncityangler4200]

Nick H you can use a lure whenever it is the right time for a lure to be used.

[@davidplayforth6556]

Great but the floors not the place for used bait.

[@subscribersweapons]

Do you have to pay a licence when you fish in thames

[@londoncityangler4200]

The thames barrier is the cut off point you need a licence for

[@londoncityangler4200]

No all of the thames is free you just need your NRA licence

[@subscribersweapons]

thank you very much you are the best thanks :DDD

[@subscribersweapons]

Where can i get NRA licence and how much is it

[@londoncityangler4200]

It is available from the post office www.postoffice.co.uk/rod-fishing-licence

[@londoncityangler4200]

If you fish anywhere that is fresh water you will need to buy a NRA licence. All the thames is free to fish also Hampstead heath is free but you need to apply for permit. www.camden.gov.uk/ccm/content/leisure/sports-and-activities/sport-directory/fishing/contact-the-hampstead-heath-ponds.en

Loads of dabs and big eels around here on the Isle of dogs but never no bass.there are millions of grey mullet on the top but they don't eat I think they might come here to sporn have babies but they don't feed it's so easy to use a net and some are massive.

[@londoncityangler4200]

I have seen the mullet up the tidal lee but never in the main river thames.
