FISHING TIPS FOR EASTNEY
Situated at the South Eastern side of Portsmouth and home to an extensive range of wild life. Much has changed in this barren area over the past 20 years. Many of the old boatmen have passed on with only one or two house boats still in situ

WHERE TO GO
Shore Fishing
LANGSTONE PASSAGE
The beach here is flanking the entrance to Langstone Harbour, has several advantages for the shore angler.It can be reached by bus, or a car can be parked nearby. Being of mixed shingle and mud, it does not attract crowds of holiday makers but there is a growing number of jet skiers that constantly buzz the area spoiling the natural effect of the area. Spills of fuel can also effect the water quality. There seems to be no respect from the local boatmen that although the main channel is clear seem to hug the coast line and drag and snap lines without concern. Both day and night fishing is possible. Night and evenings produce best results. Catches include Black Bream, Bass, Pouting, Flounder, Dover sole, Mullet, Mackerel, Wrasse.
