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 ...
March and April Update. March was a very slow month for fishing - I had just started working for a new company and early starts meant it was very hard to do quick sessions overnight and, as it was freezing cold, I didn’t fancy the 5am pack away. The syndicate was fishing fairly well for a few anglers which made it hard to stay away, but I was just waiting for the evenings to get lighter so I could have a few sessions after work for a few hours. That said, I did have a 3 night social over easter weekend with my dad and my godfather which was a frustrating session on the brightlingsea fishery main lake. After baiting a few areas during the week I rushed down there after work on the Thursday and, to my despair, the swims I had baited already had anglers installed in them for the whole weekend. I was gutted the weather had swung round again and over the weekend it didn’t get much above 7 degress so it was fairly uncomfortable, but the social continued and my godfather stru...
I’ve been saying it in every post since I started my page that I was going to do a post all about bait…and here it is! As I’m writing this it’s snowing outside, and although this week’s going to be on the chilly side (going down too -7 tonight) and most lakes around the country will be starting to freeze over, spring is just around the corner and the days when we have sun it’s starting to feel stronger and has a bit more heat to it. I am going to start off talking about my baiting approach for spring; my baiting changes with the seasons in order to maximise my chances of landing a few fish. I’ll also add my approach may change with the distance I have to travel to the lake - that m ay sound completely mad, but, as my current syndicate is just a minute away from my house, it makes baiting (and picking the right times to bait) very easy as I can walk around as much as I like. Picking the right times to bait at this time of year can give as big of an edge as anything el...
