Re: South Coast

Bognor is good, huge reef which is swimmable from shore or take boat. Newhaven, off the arms of harbour is good too.

Re: South Coast

I have caught 5-7lb bass at Newhaven but at Bognor I believe bass of up to 15lb have been taken. There are probably people on here better qualified to explain all of Bognor reef system but when I shore dived it I entered the water with the pier to the left of me and swam out to sea till I picked up the reef and then drifted with the tide. There are guys with good GPS points for some of the better 'holes' in the reef which hold big bass.
