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 [...]

Had a great days fishing out on the Yacht Lollipop yesterday (27th Feb 2009).
I met up with Cousin Chris at the usual time over at Titchmarsh Marina, Walton on the Naze. We had the cup of coffee first to catch up on all the latest.  We then cast off from the moorings a bit earlier [...]

I am getting ready for another fishing trip out on the good ship Lollipop tomorrow Friday 26th Feb. Cousin Chris suggested we have one last go for the Codling in Harwich harbour before they all clear off.  Mind you the Codling may be back in April for a spring run.
So, yesterday morning, just before the [...]

I cycled down to the Westend beach this morning at sunrise. It was -1.5degrees and a hard frost covered the landscape.
I was expecting the low tide to be a good ‘runoff’ as it was the lowest spring of the month with minus figures on the tide table. I was disappointed to see that is was [...]

Had a great day out on the 29th Jan. As usual, I met up with Cousin Chris at 8:30am at titchmarch marina. We had the obligatory cup of coffee then cast off and headed out of the marina.  There was a dredging barge with a digger/backhoe which was blocking our way out of the marina [...]
