Welcome to my first fishing blog! As some of you may be aware, I have also recently started a vlog series on youtube (CS Fishing – Go subscribe!) Since starting my channel I now have the confidence to start blogging along side. I will be writing up one a month to start and see how it goes. I’ve always had a real passion for writing about my fishing trips so I hope this comes across and you enjoy the read – any feed back would be great. So where do I start? Having just moved to Brightlingsea I was keen to find a local water. I started searching even before we’d secured the house – I must of done my girlfriend’s head in spending more time searching the Internet looking for fishing lakes than I was looking at the house- but it just had to be done! I came across the famous snake pit and on one of the trips up to view the house I managed to persuade the missus to come along for a walk around and, when I arrived, I was amazed. It was everything I had read about; a proper ...
February Update Well after a great start to the month with that lovely 18lb mirror things really did slow up. I was getting to the lake at least one night a week as normal, but I just couldn’t seem to get onto the fish - they seemed to disappear though I think that was mainly down to the cold weather. The temperature really dropped over the course of a week or so and the fish were really affected. I spent a couple of nights fishing a few different areas of the lake using the same tactics as before - choddies or hinge stiff rigs as I was fishing the weedy swims to see if that’s where they were finding sanctuary, but nothing was happening. I lost a race to a swim one Monday which I really went to regret as one of the locals was walking around the lake earlier in the day and he had seen fish showing close in. The wind was pushing into the corner and the weather was set to get really cold that night so as this area was in the shallows and I didn’t think the fish would ...
Welcome back my blog! Its now January and not a lot has changed since the last time I was on the bank. It has been almost a week since my last session: The weather had picked up a few degrees in the last couple of days and another fish had been caught from the car park swim - seems as like a few fish seem to be held up in that area. The latest one turned the scales round to 20lb 4oz, so that’s now 3 fish within a week! I can see why though. As I’ve mentioned a few times, that swim is where the sun hits the water first in the morning, so in turn that should be the warmest part of the lake throughout the day, and that can be a huge edge this time of year. That swim was taken when I arrived and, as he had caught that fish last night, he had decided he’d be staying all day and might even do another night - so that was the car park swim out the window. After a good few laps round I still didn’t have any idea where to go as his brother was fishing in the royal ...
