Estuary fishing
Estuary trips start in June and are offered if we consider it may be too rough to go out to sea. Best time of year to go estuary fishing is between July and August. We tend to catch bream, bass, mackerel, smooth hounds within the 20 square miles of Chichester harbour.
Estuary trips are great for families and children or those who have not been on a boat trip before. There is much less chance of any sea sickness on these trips - if this is something you are prone to.
