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 ...
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 ...
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...
