22 November 2003 Braintree
Sea Angling Club fished the 2nd leg of the Mick Allen Shield at the Thorpeness
end of Aldeburgh town beach, as the dirty wall end was far too crowded. The
weather conditions made it particularly uncomfortable with it raining
practically all night, to make matters worse, the wind increased and changed
direction so that it was coming into the beach buddies for the last few hours.
With no codling, and only small whiting and dabs to be had, the fishing was
rather disappointing for the time of year. After a long night first place went
to Barrie Senior with 6 whiting over 30cm for 3lb 15½oz, Peter Costin also had
6 whiting and a dab for 3lb 9oz to claim second spot. Third place went to Kevin
Thorpe with 5 whiting for 2lb 13oz. The shield now goes to Barrie Senior after
also claiming success in the first leg of the competition. 6 September 2003 This
is the time of year when beach fishing begins to peak as the arrival of autumn
whiting and codling coincide with the last of the summer sport.
26 October 2002 Left my wellies (by accident) at the entry gate to Orford Ness & drove to 2nd gate only to findout via a phone call to the Missus that the Ness was closed. Drove back to 1st gate to find my wellies had disappeared!!! Fished Aldeburgh side of gate with carrier bags wrapped around my feet. Wind swung from SW to SE making conditions & casting difficult. Got wet feet & fed with undersize whiting (about 20 in total). Steve 18 January 2003 Time:Day Only 2 Amigos fished Bacton today from 9.00am to 4.00pm,1 dab each to take home. Lewis 30 November 2002 Time: Day 3 of us fished at Bacton on 30/11/2002 from 8.30am to 3.30 pm, total to take home 16 dabs ,1 whiting and a flounder. Lewis 23 November 2002 Time:Day 3 of us fished Bacton on 23/11/2002 from 9.00am to 4.00pm.10 codling to 2.5lb to bring home between us. Frank 7, Carlton 3,me well I'm sure you can work it out! also 2 dabs ,1 flounder and 5 whiting. Lewis
Decided
to fish the beach at the power station 3 of us fishing only half a dozen
whitting all night weed was a big problem :o( not a very good session
28th December 2003 7 of us fished the Gunnels on board the Vicky Emma out from Bradwell under the skip of Dillon. 50 - 60 fish in total ranging from small whiting to Codling around 4lb. Plenty of sizeable fish giving everyone who wanted some, enough for a few Cod stakes. Best bait was squid / lug cocktal on a pennel floating trace. Kevin Knight (Webmaster)
30 December 2002 Fished Bradwell shore from 6pm to 11:30pm and caught eight reasonable size pouting & whiting and two codling between two of us on lug and squid cocktail fished at medium to long range. James Doswell 28th December 2003 10 of us fished both North and South banks on board the Vicky Emma out from Bradwell under the skip of Dillon (Yes, the one who caught the 26lb Cod last week !...I'm sure you have heard about, everyone else has !) Anyway no sign of anything but a few decent size Dabs, a few Codling around 2lb and a few whiting. About 80 fish between us from 8 till 4. All the Codling were full of Sprats when gutted, so I guess that means the end of any decent cod action for this year. Kevin Knight (Webmaster) 22 October 2002 Power Station Clean beach not to many snags, lots of small whiting close in and at range, only a few sizeable. dabs at extreme range . bait lugworm was best bait .

Tom"the pendulum" 1st March 2003 Time: Day Braintree Sea Angling Club Boat match Club
records were under threat during Braintree Sea Angling Clubs latest
match in which members fished from their own dingy's off the front of
Felixstowe. Launching from Felixstowe Ferry was straight forward, but
negotiating a path through the shifting shingle bars and locating buoys
in the mist proved to be a much tougher task.
8 December 2002 Time: Day Braintree Sea Angling Club Boat match The latest boat match had to be changed from launching at Felixstowe Ferry to Levington marina as the shingle bars on the entrance to the river Deben restrict access over low water. With a moderate North Easterly, fishing off the front wasn't possible and most of the boats ended up fishing off the south shelf in the harbour. Despite the match being fished in the river there were still a lot of fish to be had. Bob Pennick, fishing aboard Les and Paul Fitches Orkney day angler managed 9 codling for a weight of 13lb 13oz for first place. Brian Grundy also managed to get some codling onboard his Orkney strikeliner to claim second spot with a total weight of 10lb 13oz. Paul Fitch claimed the third spot with codling totalling 9lb 8oz.8 September 2002 Time: Day
Braintree Sea Angling Club Boat match This months Club boat match was fished off the front of Felixstowe in almost ideal conditions with only a light south westerly breeze and few light showers early on. Launching from Felixstowe Ferry on the river Deben is relatively straight forward and gives quick and easy access to a wide variety of marks. The match produced a sizeable codling for Brian Grundy and the first sizable whiting of the season. 1st place went to Brian Grundy with a codling, 2 eels and a whiting for 2lb 7½oz, Barrie Senior came Second with 3 whiting and a pouting for 2lb 5½oz, and in Third place was Bob Pennick with a whiting and pouting of 1lb 2½oz to give a total weight of 2lb 3½oz 21

All taken on Rag about 20 - 30 yards from peir wall. Several guys casting out 100 yds+ and moaning that they were not catching anything, tried to tell them, but would they listen !!!

27
September 2003 Time: Day 20th September 2003 Time: 19:00 till 00:00 hrs Fished for about two hours, not even a knock. Then I miss cast and was only 20 - 30 yards off pier, decided to leave wher it was and within minutes had the first knock of the night. Ended up both rods 20 - 30 yds out and twelve whiting landed. All taken on Rag tipped with Squid. Moral of this story, remeber what it says on my own web site and try near to the pier ! Kevin (Webmaster)
Been
on holiday at Hopton and spent many a happy day fishing the river side of the
pier, One small Bass 3lb, and saw a few landed, but the best was by a local
lad at 10.5lb, caught on a spinner. 31 August 2003 I've
been fishing the river and sea wall for the last 3 months every weekend and
although there are reports of people catching the occasional bass i have seen
nothing, where are the Bass? I will try further up the coast this weekend
maybe bacton, if anyone has any hotspots between yarmouth and cromer then let me
know please. Baits used rag, lug. squid. 18 June 2003 Time: Day Fished with ragworm between 2-4 pm on the seaward side.Not a touch. A few of the locals were fishing the river as a few bass have been reported. Didn't see anything landed all afternoon. A lady and gent said they had a "dinner plate" sized plaice the day before. Very nice too. Nigel
19th April 2003 Time: 19:00 till 00:30 Fished the river side of peir, very fast flowing, nothing for first three hours then as tide reached top, had two pouting around 1lb each and three codling around 1- 2 lb each. Kevin Knight
29th March 2003 Time: 16:30 till 23:30 Set up opposite Car Park, chill in the air, fog rolling in, but a calm and gentle sea. After three hours got my forst good knock on the rod, struck and wound in.... a crab nearly big enough to eat. Not put off I continued the challenge..... I waited, I baited, I waited and I baited again. The final result NOTHING not even another knock !!! £15 on bait for one misely crab....and I still tell everyone how much I love this sport !!! Kevin Knight
19th October 2002 Fished pier from 18:00 hrs till 00:00 hrs, Caught some Whiting, some more Whiting and, are yes, even more bloody Whiting !. All just undesized but made a fun night out, total 32 Whiting, 1 dab. Best bait (By far) Lug. Plenty of others fishing, but no big fish to be had. Kevin Knight
5th October 2002 Lots of small stuff around but very dissapointing considering such a high tide. Ah well, try again next week Kevin Knight 14

Called it a day about 4pm I will try next week. David 9th August 2003 Cart Gap Fished from 19:00 hrs till 00:00 hrs Bait lasting only a few minutes (Even Whole Squid) as loads of spider crabs feating on anything you chuck in.

September 2003 Kevin Thorpe
14 March 2003 Started fishing down brighton rd a couple of hours before high tide(9:02). Wind was strong so unusually there was quite a strong flow on the flood and surprisingly i had a couple of codling 2-3lbs. on the ebb good codling were coming up all along the beach and i had another two on the 3 lb mark. only one pout but there were lots caught further along the beach. All fish caught on lug crab cocktail. definetly worth ago for codling untill the end of the month. Simon 9 November 2002 Time:Day High Tide was at 3pm. Started fishing about 1:30pm, had a couple of decent knocks early on, but nothing landed. Bait: Lug , with whole Small squid. After tide turned things improved about an hour down got a small Pouting, folwed by a small Codling under a pound I'd say. Returned both. Then another smaller hit resulted in a drop back take to reveal a Codling just over pound and a half, 17" in length. Sadly only a small Whiting about an hour later, when bait was tipped with Mackerel. It was a lovely day, no wind, calm conditions, some guys further down the point towards the Pier seemed to be excited on several occasions with loud cheers of jubilation, couldn't see what they had but I presume Codling was the order of the day. Parry

latest Braintree Sea Angling Club match at Mersea was spoilt by the
weather conditions, which deteriorated from a steady drizzle at the
start of the match, to heavy downpours as the evening went on. Fishing
the shallows on the West side of the island meant the match time was
reduced to only 4 hours, whilst the water is up to the main beach. The
only type of fish bought to the scales we're eels, which seemed to be
present in reasonable numbers, disappointingly no sizeable bass we're
caught despite the presence of a few schoolies. 26

March 2003 Time:Day 16 February 2003 Time:Day Braintree Sea Angling Club returned to their normal winter venue of Orfordness after their previous trip out of the region to fish the Kent coast. Orfordness attracts large numbers of anglers this time of year and with several reports of codling being caught from the venue, the Club’s match was fished at the “narrows” part of the island to give members more space. Conditions on Sunday were excellent for catching codling and everybody managed to land at least one, the catches also included a few whiting and a bass. Simon Farrow fishing up towards the point claimed his third consecutive win with a catch of 8 codling, including 2 fish of over 3lb, to give a total weight of 16lb 13oz. The battle for positions was a close with Alan Porter snatching second spot with 2 codling for 4lb 12½oz beating Peter Costin by ½oz who had 2 codling and a whiting for 4lb 12oz. Best fish on the day was a codling of 3lb 12oz, which went to Colin Crocker, a regular visitor to the Club’s matches over on the island. The next Club match will see members taking their own boats out to fish off the front of Felixstowe on Saturday 1st March, launching for the match will be from Felixstowe Ferry on the river Deben. Pictures on Club's web site at http://www.geocities.com/braintreesac/
24 November 2002 Time:Day Barrie Senior continued his winning ways by catching 3 codling and 2 whiting to claim top spot in the latest Club match. Being the first people over to the "Crouch" on Orfordness gave members the choice of the best spots, with several members making the long walk up towards the lighthouse. Simon Farrow also managed a couple of codling in his catch for second spot and was closely followed up in the weights by Colin Crocker in third. The next Club match will see members taking their own dingies out to fish off the front of felixstowe if the weather permits. Photo’s on Clubs web site - http://www.geocities.com/braintreesac/ 3 November 2002 Time:Day The latest Club match saw members visiting Orfordness once again, the deep-water close in makes this one of the top venues in the region for winter cod fishing. Simon Farrow claimed top spot on the day after choosing to make the long walk up towards the lighthouse where the water is probably at it’s deepest. Simon’s effort was rewarded with 10 codling for a winning weight of 16lb 2oz. In second position was Alan Porter who had one codling, two whiting and a dab for 3lb, and in third spot was Peter Hibble. The next match will see members returning for the second leg of the Mick Allen shield on the 9/10th November. For venue and catch pictures, check out the Club's web site at http://www.geocities.com/braintreesac/
19 October 2002 Braintree Sea Angling Club - Match Report - Mick Allen Shield - 1st leg Members had a good break in the weather for the first leg of the Mick Allen shield, the all night match was fished over Orfordness on a clear and moon lit night giving ideal conditions for whiting. The top 3 took full advantage of this and claimed over 50 decent sized whiting between them from the deep water at the "Crouch" part of the island. After a rough week with strong winds, the conditions calmed right down and by dawn, the wind had totally disappeared giving a calm sea. The Shield is fished for over 2 legs, both of these being all-nighters from Orfordness. Barrie Senior claimed first spot in the opening leg with a weight of 14lb 6oz, his catch included 2 codling, 6 dabs and 18 whiting. Top man for whiting was Simon King who's catch included 26 sizable whiting to give him second spot with a total weight of 13lb 10½oz. Third spot went to Alan Porter who managed 2 codling, a dab and an eel to go with his whiting. Alan also had the best whiting of the night at just under 1½lb. The next match is normal Sunday visit to the island on 3rd November, before members return for the second leg of the Mick Allen shield on the 9/10th November. Also, a reminder to members that Club's A.G.M. will be held on the Monday 4th November at the Eagle, Coggeshall Road, Braintree. Clubs Web site : http://www.geocities.com/braintreesac/

4 January 2003 Time:Day Fished from 10 am to 4.30 pm. Lug/squid. Myself and 5 other anglers all caught several codling each. All fish around 2-4lb...v good day. Steve 12 December 2002 Fished beach south of pier from 4pm to 1 am using Lug, Black Lug & Squid. Caught 2 Codling to 3lb, 3 school Bass, a Dab a Rockling but not one Whiting !! Steve
27 January 2003 Fish right in front of Hutleys caravan park. Two rods: three hook rig with straight lug on 1 & pennel rigged mackerel/squid cocktail on 2. Very slow on the flood till a schoolie arrives followed next cast by a dab. Then no bites whatsoever till the ebb when a shoal of pin whiting arrives temporarily. catch 4 of these, then they dissapear as suddenly as they arrived. All fish on the lug. Not a touch on the cocktail Jeff 21 October 2002 : Hutleys again, intending to fish the whole tide up and down. Arrive at the start of the flood around 19:00. very slow until last quarter of the flood then all hell breaks loose with whiting almost every cast until half ebb. 90% of these are well oversize and take every kind of bait tried, lug, squid, mackerel, sprats and various cocktails . Things go quiet soon after with the occasional fish once in a while. Try fishing a whole pennel rigged squid to see if there is anything but whiting in front of me but a strong bite results in yet another whiting the same size as the others! The 4/0 is no deterent! Finally catch something different when it gets light, a small rockling. Total whiting for session is 30 fish, most well over the size limit. Jeff
5 October 2002 Night session at St Osyth beach again after codling and whiting. Much slower than last trip, saturday night idiots making midnight a pain. Fishing picks up when they stop letting off fireworks over the sea! No codling this time out but plenty of fair sized whiting. 16 whiting & two pout total for session. Best time is well before high tide and then the ebb right down to low water. Next visit here will see me fishing the ebb to low water and up again, giving high tide a miss. Fish under the tower at Walton again next day and find one eel on a big bunch of pennel rigged king rag Jeff 22
May 2003 Time: Day 4 May 2003 Time: Day Fished from 11:00 till 17:00 HT14:30. nothing , not even a bite. pier was very busy. everyone saying how quite it was. guy 3 rods up from me had a 2lb bass. someone else at the very end had 2 small pouting. a couple of other odds and sods came out. generally a waste of time Kev 7 February 2003 Fished 12:00 Midday to 9:00 pm. Sea calm but coloured with a cool breeze from the South. Very slow to start but had a dab after 3 hours then another 2 hours later,both returned as undersized. About 5:00pm we started on some Pin Whiting (6 caught) and a very small Ling I think? All in all it was very disappointing but for some reason we'll do it all again! Huw Williams 2 November 2002 Time: Day Fished early morning tide at Burnt House using lug. Plenty of small whiting but suffered with weed. Best spot either side of concrete groyne but watch for the tide whipping the breakaway out and around the post. Fished 6.30am to 11.00am Gappy 1 November 2002 Time: Day Fished morning tide again at Burnt House, quite a southerly breeze whipping up waves, plenty of whiting plus x 2 codling 2lbs each, used lug.

Winterton all summer, a few small bass and 1 that we could cook, it fished the
same last year but got better late Aug until mid sept, lets hope the bigger
bass come closer, bait used squid, rag and spinners, all fish usually caught
close in, a bad cast can be very lucky at winterton, watch for the seals, im
sure they see me coming over the dunes and get closer everytime. |
