A days fishing in the River Stour

Tuesday, December 30th, 2008

Well we got to go fishing. Chris and I met up at Titchmarsh Marina at 08:30hrs. It was minus 4 celcius according to the temp sensor on the car and it felt it. There was frost everywhere including the deck of the yacht Lollipop which made things a tad slippery. All in all a [...]

No time for fishing or digging Lugworm today of course. I am in charge of cooking the Christmas dinner. Roast Duck and all the trimmings. Maybe get to go fishing next week if I behave myself.

General Musings on a grey winters day

Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008

Had a quick meander down the beach today.  Plenty of Lugworm casts to see which is good for the next time I go digging.  The foreshore is a bit bleak this time of year. Even the beach chickens looked huddled up and miserable.
Most of today was spent Christmas grocery shopping with me as the primary [...]

Quick tour of Harwich

Monday, December 22nd, 2008

I had a quick whiz round the town today whilst nipping down to the Post Office to send of another batch of eBay parcels.  It was truly a lovely day down at the beach. Almost low tide with hardly a ripple on the water. I took a couple of photos to prove it.
The Stone Pier [...]

No fishing this side of Christmas

Sunday, December 21st, 2008

Welcome to the shortest day. Now the nights will be drawing out again once more. Seems the older I get, the quicker the seasons change. Family birthdays kept me away from the beach today which is a shame because it is very mild at 12 degrees and with a south westerly breeze. I could have [...]

Christmas is coming.

No Fishing or worm digging now as Christmas is looming. 5 days and counting. We also have two family birthdays this weekend. My Wife’s Grandson James and her god niece Poppy.
I stopped off at the seafront today to gaze over the water to Felixstowe and took this nice picture. Not many folks visiting the beach [...]

Too cold to dig Lugworm today

Friday, December 19th, 2008

I must say that I am a bit of a fair weather fisherman. It must be something to do with my age! I love to go fishing at this time of year for Whiting and Codling but I am not so keen on the near freezing temperatures. I went fishing on the local Ha’penny pier [...]
