Comment on Fantastic Weather at Fleetwood, Fishing the Channel by cobstan warren

Where i lived in suffolk Which was Kessingland beach. it was an old fishermans cottage about 200 yards may be less, from the beach.

From that beach, You could catch ginyies whiting, dads plaice good ones at that and dover soles upt 1 -2lbs. but for those dover soles it was a good walk up to benacre point, codling and some big cod as well. i once caught a 30lb cod off the beach in December, I was the only one fishing, But when the news got out, that streach of beach had far more people on it than when the lights is switched on.

It’s like when i fished from spurn point east yorkshire, they say the best time to fish is when is coming in, But it is also better to fish there as the tide is starting to turn, What i mean by that you start in the humber, and follow the out going tide. ok you end up fishing in the north sea, but in those 2 hours that i fished i had 2 rods in, i no sooner placed my rod on the stand, my other rod was dipping.

i took and struck took the slack up then i ran up the beach there were 2 codlings about 6lb each. then i leaped froged up the beach cast out, got the bottom, my other rod started again 2 more, on that streach of the beach i landed 7 good cod from 6 -8lbs.

the only time i have seen that amount of fish being landed was when i worked on trawlers

hi STU
sorry its taken me such a while to reply to your email!!
when i lived in suffolk i worked out of lowestoft on the trawlers on share boats,

went out for any thing from 6 days to 16 days.
the skipper would always ask me how did i get on fishing off the beach where i lived.

i suppose they could not understand why a fisherman would spend upto 21 days fishing then come home and do fishing from the beach?

i loved it learning how to read the beach at low tide, practising casting over 150 yards, to get out to where the deep cully was, i used local lug that i dug up from a place called benacre.
i think then 50 pence would get you 100 lugs, i even made my own beach rods of 15-16 foot and sell them to the local fishing shop in lowestoft on london road.

i even came ashore and worked in a fish house, filliting all types of fish, funny when i first started for the first 2 weeks i think my take home pay was £10 after that my money wenmt up over a few months i could clear £200 in 3 days starting at 3am each morning and finishing around 8-9am then coming home and getting ready to go to Norwich UEA.

thanks warren

Hi there,
I have recently conducted a study of he Northern coast of Anglesey for my Geology dissertation and was hoping to insert a photograph of Hen Borth at high tide (“The last bit of daylight lights up the cliffs at Hen Borth”). Stupidly, I did not take my camera with me on the days that I was there.

I love your photograph above and was hoping you would give me permission to use it. There is no financial basis to the study, merely for research purposes.

Hope to hear from you soon,

Many thanks,

Will.

Comment on Fishing in Thailand – Monster Stingray Landed by Carp Fishing UK

Did you all see that guy catch that massive stingray on TV? Kept in a tarp type on the bank swimming pool! Unbelievable, couldn’t take my eyes of TV! I’m a carp fishing enthusiast from UK, but am seriously thinking of a trip. Will be in touch early next year, wife is off to Spain with friends, so guess where I would like to go?

Hi Rick

My best shots this winter for a big Cod are going to be Rossall, Fleetwood fishing either high or low in darkness or Seaforth Rocks in the Liverpool Dock complex (you’ll need a pass). Have a look at the wirralseafishing.co.uk forum, loads of great guys on there with some great info.
