I’ve been itching to go and wet a line for the last few weeks and so finally got the chance to go late Sunday afternoon. Bradwell was the chosen venue as I like the solitude and very few dog walkers to bother me. I ordered the bait. Only ragworm available. Wanted to get some herring but the wet...

Went dab hunting at Bradwell but very few and far between. 7 had between us but mostly very small. Perhaps it was the big tide that put them off ☹. Fair bit of weed too. Still good to be out 😁👍🏼

Had a trip down to Bradwell near the power station. Fished the tide from 1pm up to high tide at just after 6. Good bites from the start on 2 hook flapper. Expected just to be whiting but ended up with 15 dabs and a smattering of whiting. A couple were in size. Very enjoyable session not being...

Took the opportunity to enjoy the sun down at St Osyths. In hope of a ray or even dare I think a stingray. Quarry not achieved but a busy session with the usual dogfish, good sized whiting and one basslet and a dab. Good to be out.👍🏼😁😎

Had a few hours on the Blackwater in Maldon in what felt more like a summer’s day. Bites were fast and furious but hard to hit. Fish seemed to only pull down once so we had to be quick on the draw. Nothing big but a few had up to 3lbs which was great entertainment. I would have thought the bass...

Got my chance to escape for a few hours from the kids whilst on holiday near Deal Kent. Fella in Channel Angling said that there was very little being caught currently and this was confirmed by a stroll on the pier. So I opted to fish by Walmer Castle to get away from the crowds. First cast on...

Decided last minute to fish the evening tide at Bradwell. Only bait I could get was herring from Tesco but it turned out to be okay in the end as target ray achieved. Most casts resulted in whiting swallowing everything. Dogfish turned to put a stop to that. It was a pleasant evening under the...

I was wondering why there are not more reports of lumpsucker fish caught. I often see their egg cases on the shore line but I’ve never caught one or seen one. Is there any particular places where they are caught and what are they caught on?

Decided on Frinton Essex for Sunday evening tide in the hope of last chance sole. On arrival the seA looked too lively for sole even though it was a small tide. Slow start in the last of the daylight but as the tide started to move in I had two bass in succession, one on rag and the other on...

Last session of the holidays and for a few weeks now so I went back to my favourite current haunt. Two rods out one short and one long but both on ragworm although close in only on bits of rag on size one hooks whilst the far out rod was on a 5/0 pennel whole king rag. Fish every cast mostly...

With low expectations following last week’s expedition I decided to try again for a bass or two. One long range and one short both with ragwort. Short range bouncing around from the off with schoolies every cast. 1st cast long range had been out for over 20 minutes when bang pulled right down...
