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 beautiful crisp blue sky day. Little or no wind as well. Things were looking promising. It tooks us an hours steaming to get to the fishing spot, just inside Harwich harbour, opposite Felixstowe. On the way, we spotted loads of geese and about 6 seals.
We dropped anchor around 10:15hrs and the first fish came shortly after. I was using the Lugworm that I dug yesterday for bait. I caught the smallest Whiting you could imagine on a 2/0 size hook. See photo. We only caught tiddlers on this trip and we threw them back of course. Chris caught a small codling see photo. I heard the Cod where off chasing sprats and I could believe it because the bites where few and far between. The last time we came fishing on the 13th Nov, we caught loads. We fished for about 4 hours and then headed back to the Marina. Cold but happy just to have been out for the day.
