Whenever ive fished point right and m8 plots up in beach, most of the fish ive witnessed came to the right hand margin/side of the bridge support. Chuck out to marker, then walk down and feed bait in under arm. Be careful though, theres a proper rock/boulder or something down there cos he certainly lost a few to apparanet open water :thumbsup_anim:

Problem this swim is there are too many good looking spots :blush:

Wot do ya mean by the left hand margin ?

The margin in between Beach & Point Right or the far bank margin where the old boat used to be beached ?

Literally 1 rod length under my rod tips.
In between the weedbed & the bush to my left.
Noticed fish moving through there late one night
fed a bit of bait over 36hrs then fished it & took a 36 mirror
& lost one. Definately a good little spot to bear in mind for the nights :blink:

Well I thought the Beach was a great swim
but it did fish hard.
Tried the beach area for 3 days, casting across,
wading out with my rig, stirred the bottom up
good & proper & couldn't buy a bite from it.
All the action I had came 12 ft from the bank
l/h margin. Also far bank clipping the willows
& the right hand margin. The best way to do
that was to cast over bridge & throw rig as tight
as I could get it to margin. The tighter it was the
more chance of a pick up. Caught the 47 from that
spot. Didn't have any trouble myself getting fish
back from that margin, though I did have one right
lump that took me from the far margin, under the bridge
& what seemed like half way down to MOTL before I
could stop it. After I made quite a bit of line back
it eventually cut me off round the leg of the bridge :D
My biggest regret was not fishing the left hand margin earler.
But you live and learn, would definately fish that swim again though.

If it was that good why did you move to the elf??

Take it if you get the shed your move to the elf this year then on the monday??? :lol:

i only fished it to be with my buddaaays, but then as the swims were picked, we got split up, so, since i've had 4 x 50's from the old and the long, i wasnt goin to get a 50 from the elf in the beach swim...so i moved

I fished Point Right in Sept 2005. Bloke in here had loads of fosh all from the near right hand margin. Didn't like it too much as there was a danger of the fosh getting round the bridge. Sometime the bloke was fishing passed the support beam of the bridge losing lots of fosh, pi**ed the bloke in the Shed off and possibly putting the fosh's safety at risk I prefer a choice of a bit of open water and some margins. He tried all over the swim but could not buy a bite from anywhere else. Very productive thought!

[frothey]

whatever swim you're in, its woth making it look "stirred up" ;)

[Shirley Crabtree]

i fished zigs towards the bridge for an afternoon and had a 28,29 and lost one all in the space of half hour. apart from that never fished it but agree you have to be careful with the rocks by the near margin.

[Dannyboy1978]

I heard this aswell Frothey mate , Heard you get swimmers on that far bank and the fish move in once the swimmers go home in the evening!!!!

Thought were keeping if you manage to get on that swim i suppose gotta be wortrh a try on the 1st night !!!!

[frothey]

one tip from a bailiff was to walk down the margin and stir the bottom up with your feet, stamping the bait into the gravel...... worked for the guy who was fishing it.

I fished it for a night just didn't like it, lost a couple on the near margin to the bridge fecker to get them out of those snags, just something about it that does n't put it in my top tweleve, moved into Right point as that became available. Now theres a good swim

Just some swims don't feel right sorry to say, this is one of them! everything seem'd awkward rod fishing the margin at 90 degrees to the bait hate doing that, the rod tip pulls around before the alarm goes off., not a lot of room to manouver when you hook a fish, This almost certainly just me.

[Joss]

fished it for 1 night had a 28 and a 43..then moved to the elf...certianly be in my top 5 swims

[DARYL]

i am surprised there;s not many veiws about this swim i fished it aug 2000 done well for the trip it always fishes well when i go or another friend goes . being close to shed i thought it would be more talked about. has it gone down hill abit in recent years ? .

[fudger]

foshed it in 2000 and struggled as we had a hard week ( temp up and down ) , could only get a bite really tight to the right hand marging
i used to cast on to the bridge and the climb down the slope and put it in by had and ended up with 4 fish in 1 hour and then they pissssssssed off to the point and stayed there :ph34r_anim:

[Smog]

Looking at the bridge, snaggy right hand side of margin towards bridge, proper rocky under the bridge, weedy to left hand side of bridge.
Only ever seen right hand margin produce in this swim (and he had to go in after 2 of them! ) :ph34r_anim:

PM Guy, he fished it and had some good success.
