This is one fish I have never had on the fly, I live in the Southampton area, has anyone caught one in the Solent or surrounding areas thanks Steve

Do you fish your marks at night? They are a common end of season species.

Ive had my best bass and sea trout when it get dark, Ive had a lot of herring and mackerel at night off my boat along Southampton estuary but no scad, would love to catch one, have you a mark I could try in seasoin thanks Steve

Sorry man, but I don't give marks out till I know people very well. They come up at night in large schools so if you keep at it at night you should get some. I use much smaller flies, size 6 and 4. Small baitfish patterns. If you know some locations that attract loads of small fish focus there.

thanks I have a few in mind

The Scad aren't around in the numbers they used to be. The numbers have been steadily dwindling over the years and I only had half a dozen or so last year.
