Littlehampton is often associated by anglers for only its Black Bream fishing, and whilst its true this is without doubt the premier port in the country for quantity and quality of the species, it is often forgotten there is considerable wealth of variety of fish and ground in which to target them, as well as a huge number of wrecks within easy reach of a fast boat from the port. Listed below are the fish you are most likely to encounter on your trip, and the methods and baits we use to target them.
Black Bream
========= 
The famous Kingmere Reef, lies 6 miles to the south of the harbour, huge shoals of large Bream visit annually and we target these plucky fighters from mid April to End June. Light tackle and squid baits are the normal preference.
Bass
====
My personal favorite, we target this species all year round with a variety of methods depending on the time of year, fishing with lures on the drift, dead baits at anchor or live baiting the inshore wrecks a double is always on the cards.
Tope
====
Fish in excess of 50lbs are common in May, June. We fish in an area of strong current with large baits, flowing ledger required with suitable end trace for sharp teeth is a must, our policy is to return these magnificent fish, I’m convinced our fishery holds a potential record.
