I had a few hours fishing on the Ha’penny pier yesterday afternoon. It was a calm murky drizzly sort of day. No one else was fishing so I had the pier to myself. I now know why. No fish, no bites, nada! I had the best sort of bait which was live shrimp that [...]

Had a quick trip down to the promenade at Harwich to use up the rest of the lugworm that I dug last Sunday. The worms were mostly half dead, limp and starting to pong so I thought it might be a waste of time. I arrived at the bottom of Barrack Lane around 11:10 am, [...]

Had a great days fishing with cousin Chris on his yacht yesterday. We were fishing just inside (out of the shipping channel) the guard bouy in Harwich harbour. It was a windy south westerly with a steady 20 knots.
Luckily we were not far off the pilot station, in the lee of the land. It was [...]

Had our usual (we we try to) bi monthly trip over to Fennes yesterday 24th Sept. The weather was beautiful for this time of year. Light westerleys with a slight ripple on the surface.
I fished two rods. One on the float and one out on the ledger. I started catching Perch almost straight away. I [...]

We tried a Bass fishing trip on the 28th August out on cousin Chris’s Boat!
Big mistake.
The wind was gusting 35 knots so all our usual fishing spots were going to be too uncomfortable.
We picked up a mooring opposite Levington marina in the River Orwell.  Chris and I used Lugworm for bait.  I dug about 80 [...]

Chris and I had a brilliant days fishing at Fennes once again.
We met up at the usual time of 10 am and decided to fish the top lake for a change.
The weather was hot at about 25 degrees centigrade.
There was a small private match going on at one end of the lake with about 10 [...]

Met up with cousin Chris on Wed 17th April for a days fishing at Fennes. It was to celebrate his birthday!
This time the fishing was much better. The weather was warm at about 20 centigrade and cloudy with it.  We both had a good day with plenty of Bream showing and some very nice Roach. [...]

Now that the warmer weather is here I thought that a day out to Fennes fishery near Braintree would be a nice change. I met up with cousin Chris at the fishery around 10 am. The weather was cool and cloudy which was just about right. We headed off to a couple of nice looking [...]

I had a great days fishing with Cousin Chris on Thursday 19th March.
I drove over to Titchmarsh marina and arrived at 07:45hrs. I was a bit earlier than last time because Chris slept on board the night before.  Rather him than me as the overnight temperature was close to zero and whilst it is nice [...]

The weather is beautiful. Life is good. I am going fishing again this week. We currently have a high pressure sitting over us here in sunny Harwich so the weather is nice and calm.
I will go and dig some lugworm tomorrow down at Earlams.
Cousin Chris and I will be fishing on Thursday out at our [...]
