Seaford
Seaford is a coastal town in East Sussex, on the south coast of England.[3] Lying east of Newhaven and Brighton and west of Eastbourne, it is the largest town in Lewes district, with a population of about 27,000.
In the Middle Ages, Seaford was one of the main ports serving Southern England, but the town's fortunes declined due to coastal sedimentation silting up its harbour and persistent raids by French pirates. The coastal confederation of Cinque Ports in the mediaeval period consisted of forty-two towns and villages; Seaford was included under the Limb of Hastings.[4] Between 1350 and 1550, the French burned down the town several times.[citation needed] In the 16th century, the people of Seaford were known as the cormorants or shags because of their enthusiasm for looting ships wrecked in the bay. Local legend has it that Seaford residents would, on occasion, cause ships to run aground by placing fake harbour lights on the cliffs.[5][6]
Seaford's fortunes revived in the 19th century with the arrival of the railway connecting the town to Lewes and London. It became a small seaside resort town, and more recently a dormitory town for the nearby larger settlements of Eastbourne and Brighton, as well as for London.
Catch fish at Seaford: SEAFORD BEACH NEAR FRANKIES
Another one of a series on shore fishing at Seaford, East Sussex (UK). A late spring, daytime session (recorded on 22.05.19) catching plaice and soles. The short snood ‘sole’ rig I favour, outfished the loop rigs, which a lot of anglers use here.
The following videos in this series cover other marks in Seaford Bay, tactics employed and rigs used, in some detail.

Catch Fish at Seaford: SEAFORD BAY ENDS COMPARED
Part of a series on shore fishing at Seaford, East Sussex (UK). The extreme ends of Seaford Bay are compared, with tactics and their appeal considered.
An early summer, daytime session at the Beach Huts section at the eastern end, near Splash point (recorded on 15.06.19), examines my approach to catching bass. The successful long 2 snood rig used is covered in detail.
This is contrasted with a 'scratching session' at the western end of Seaford Bay, at Newhaven East Beach (recorded on 23.07.19), on one of the hottest days of the year. Can you decide whether it is worth fishing these marks?
The following videos in this series cover other marks in Seaford Bay, tactics employed and rigs used, in some detail.

Catch Fish at Seaford: SPRING/SUMMER SPECIES, LOCATION, RIGS, THE BUCKLE
One of a series on shore fishing at Seaford, East Sussex (UK).
This video is aimed at visiting anglers, who want to know more about the location / marks; the fish that can be caught during daytime in Spring and Summer and how to go about catching them in general.
Plaice and soles are the main target species and the rigs used to catch them are described in detail, with a short tutorial about making, what I consider to be, the most successful rig.
The latter part covers fishing 'The Buckle' - the best known, most fished and arguably the most prolific part of Seaford Beach.
Other videos in this series deal with tactics and other rigs in some detail, focusing on individual marks in Seaford Bay.
