View Full Version : The return match of Essex vs Kent
After the Dungie match it is now time for Essex to stamp their fishing authority on this forum, and its time for kent to prove they fish.
Can I suggest the 8th of April as it is
A) a Sunday, as some people were unable to fish due it being a saturday
B) its the only day off I have (on a weekend) for ages
C) The cod run should be here
I do not want to pick where the venue should be, that should be left for AlanT and Nukem to decide.

If its in April and you are thinking of the springers it has to be North Eseex. The problem with that is that there are very few venues that are 1. Likely to produce fish. 2. Are deep enough to produce fish within everyones casting range. 3. not involve long walks across shingle. 4. Have a pub no more than 50yards away ;)
St Osyth, harwich er er er er .... Hmmmmm, not much choice there eh. :unsure:
Jassyfa have you checked the tides for this date. And I would suggest we fish at
St Osyth as this will give us a bit of deeper water for the spring run Clacton would not be such a good venue as you need to cast in excess of 130yards to reach the fish in the gully's as its a very shallow beach, This is just a suggestion and am open to all ideas.

the tide at southend on the 8th of april is a 5m3 and high tide is 16.30. Im not sure how much we have to add on or subtract from this tide for St Oysth, but im sure Issy will let us know.

think you will find the 8th is easter sunday and the carvan parks will be fully open
plus they have a big sunday market.
as for tides take 35 mins of southend

ok the only date i cant make in april is sunday the 15th as im out on a boat:)

25-02-2007, 17:20
cant do 1st here as it my mrs bday... will get shot on that day!!
Also they run quite a few comps @ south fambridge, not far to walk (under 5 mins) and its deep water... chance of skate as well, might be worth a try, plus would make it more fun as the fish wont just jump on the hook you have to think how to fish it!!

I think St Osyth is probably the best venue as there will be too much of a parking problem at Fambridge and there are no pubs nearby. I should imagine some collaberation with Issy would find the best marks at St Osyth as he fishes there regularly.
I can make any weekend but may I suggest a Sunday cos of those that only get Sundays off work.
Jassyfa has definately got to attend what with being our champion and all that.

im intrested lads!! as long as it isnt on the 28th or 1st. would be best if its on a sunday...
Jamie
Im on holiday this week and next week, so pick a date after the 8th of april, please be a sunday so those who couldn't fish it can make this meet, and i will request the day off when I return to work.
Alan T have you got the persons name who won the comp as Kevin is going to speak to the Evening Echo about getting a report in the paper (after all it would be unfair if the article was about me).
Sunday 1st April High Tide at West Mersea is 1244 (4.72m)
Sunday 8th April High Tide at West Mersea is 1631 (4.13m)
Sunday 15th April High Tide at West Mersea is 1124 (4.97m)
Times taken from Tide Wizard
I am on holiday from 21st April, but after what I caught yesterday that will be to Kents advantage!
OK folks, sorry for the late entry into this thread, been catching up on me kip.
St Osyth, big problems when holiday season starts, there are a number of massive caravan parks there,10 million caravans 40million holiday makers and 2 million jet skis ( only slight exaggeration:) ) , OK jet ski's great targets and a possibility of an extra comp to see who can hit the most with a 6oz grip:yeah: .
I would think very seriously as if the weathers good it will be packed.
Before April St Osyth will be great best fished 1 hour up and the way down on the ebb, will be tight to fit every one in though, but I like the place and it is nearly always good fishing.
Bradwell is just across the Blackwater estuary from St Osyth, maybe a better bet in April ans long as the winds are reasonably right, about 5 or 6 hundred yard walk from large car park and plenty of room to fish. as for pubs there are loads of very good pubs on the Dengie Peninsula, just be aware of the inbreds (whoops, sorry Urly).
Fambridge, North or South. Ash may have a point, plenty of room, some very good and challenging fishing, and the thornies do spawn there. again plenty of pubs on the northern side and assume the same for South Fambridge. Parking may be a problem, but may be we be able to chat up either the yacht club or the pub at North Fambridge.
Another thought may be East Mersea, park in the car park (pay and display) for the Cudmore country park then it's a short walk to the beach. plenty of room for fishing, must admit have'nt fished the mark and not sure how it is fishing there at all, so it could put us all on an even footing, with a big challenge. the fit can walk as far as the Mersea stone, a known top mark, that has not yet produced this year( I understand the the locals are now fishing further west ( where I am suggesting) but I must admit I do not know the marks. As I say it would be fairer for both teams, no local knowledge and a real challenge:g:
Juan Dogee-giza
25-02-2007, 18:50
Thats a good point about St Osyth Issy so maybe before April?
Bradwel in Aprill, not a whole lot of a chance of fish in my opinion.
Fambridge in April will prob either produce 1 good fish or nothing.
East Mersea, cant see much happening there either plus surely its shallow?
Ok, just to put a cat omong the pigeons, does the venue have to be in Essex? The south Suffolk marks are generally more consistant for codling than essex in the spring anyway. Felixstow, Shingle Street, or even Orford island are worth concidering.
Point taken Issy. Sunday 22 nd of April should be ok with every body that has said they cant make it due to work commitments or bithdays as the tide is 4-30 pm.
give or take on the area in question. If we can get the dates sorted first then we can sort a venue.
DJMCJERICO
25-02-2007, 18:51
South Fambridge will be a problem due to tide pull, when that water starts rushing through we will need to be about 20 yards apart.
At low tide we can fish down on the shingle but when it comes in the less agile of us aren't going to be able to scramble up the wall, not to mention the weed so it will be pack up and walk to the steps time plus you can't fish the saltings an hour or so either side of ht.

How about making it a night meet then to miss the crowds and the jet skies

Maybe meet in the afternoon to get to know some new faces and then thrash the hop-pickers a bit later? ;)

i had an idea of southend pier?
plenty of room and parking and pubs (incl the gay variety!)
not everyones cup of tea as it can be hard to fish, so it will sort out the men from the boys so to speak, but there should be plenty of flatties that time of year plus the bonus of a possible big plaice.
i think fambridge is a deffo no, but i like the idea of a night meet.
p.s i will be bringing my new lover juan :)

Southend Peir:yucky:
East Mersea - West Mersea is very shallow, but the Mersea stone is deep, I am talking about the Cudmore Park area, it has been fishing somewhere around there, but I don't know where. Have fished there once and it doesn't seem that shallow, but that was the weekend of that huge tide In September, the tide pull was huge and there was a lot of weed.
Afternoon to evening meet at St Osyth could be a winner If we start fishing about 5 or 6 then on till whenever ( pubs will probably close about 11), not a long session, unless we do an all nighter, that would exclude anyone who has to work on the Monday. Of course the stingray may start coming in:) as well as the bass if the weathers warm:) .

i would be up for a social meet in a pub in the afternoon/ evening (then we won't stink the pub out) then fish at night. i don't usually do all nighters but i'lll prob stay til everyone leaves.
i don't think the rays will be too long, there down her already.

not me mate.i'd put some effort in this time:unsure:
OK then we will leave this as our first option for a few days to fish the Kent shores again unless anybody disagrees by 28/2/07
If it is going to be in Kent again, is there nowhere in North Kent that would be suitable? Not so far for the Essex lads to travel and different fishing from Dungie.

I have no objections to it being in Kent again. Even Dungeness, It was a good day with plenty of beach to fish. I think it has already been proved that there is no advantage in home advantage.
If Alan and Nuke come up with a date and venue then I cant see there being too many complaints.:)

What about Grays? Thats hould be easy for everybody to get to. We could fish the wharf , which would mean easy access for the kent lads, nearby free parking, pub nearby and flounders, eels and maybe an odd sole.

Unlikely to be much there in April.

What about Proctors, I don't mean up by the secret mark ( we don't want the Kent lads to learn that one), but as you come on to the sea wall from the church, if the fishings no good you can look at the graffiti:) Thames would be the man to tell us all about that mark, plenty of room for 40 or 50 anglers, and maybe even early bass.

Just a thought but how about the Southern Blackwater Estuary, St Lawrence, Stangate, Bradwell Waterside. I have heard there is some good fishing at Stansgate, parking and it's on the Dengie so plenty of pubs. I have been looking to give it a try for some time but have'nt had the chance yet, anyone got any info on the area.
As a point of interest what happens it Kent beat us (highly unlikely) then we will have a draw, do we have another meet or let the two anglers on the boat with cascars complete for the Honor of Kent or Essex title.

i dont expect the date to be changed for me or any other angler, as already said you have to go with the majority. sorry for letting you down, im sure i will meet up with some of you at a later meet.:)

Please excuse me poking my nose in and tell me to bog off if you like, but what about considering Walton Pier for a venue. If you speak to the pier management, you may be able to fish free or get a discount. Local clubs have matches there.
There's a pay and display car park fairly close by, pub on the pier which does hot food (including full English breakfast) and it would help those who can't cast far.
Just a thought.

Hello guys have i missed much on this thread
walton pier could be a great venue if the coding are running ,most fish come on the ebb so tide time and date need to be right if that was the venue of your choice. i saw 1 bloke land about 8 good size codling in about 2 hours last march!

Please excuse me poking my nose in and tell me to bog off if you like, but what about considering Walton Pier for a venue. If you speak to the pier management, you may be able to fish free or get a discount. Local clubs have matches there.
There's a pay and display car park fairly close by, pub on the pier which does hot food (including full English breakfast) and it would help those who can't cast far.
Just a thought.
Stu
may be a good idear lads like he said if people can,t cast far and a pint on the pier for anyone (big glass nuke would be happy) any way can't wait for the next ONE

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO dont put a pub and fishing on the same venue please . fishing wont get a look in
Isn't walton pier open early for the members? So we would have to fight for the decent places. Plus would we all be able to fish the end of the pier?
I am still thinking that Bradwell will be the best bet, we should all get in there and it will have less problems that other venues, plus the fact if the conditions are even fair we should have a few fish, plenty of pubs and we can meet at Urly's local before and after, it is closer for the Kent boys and if the weather is really against the venue we have the option to relocate to somewhere like Stansgate, St Lawrence, Steeple or Burnham. All close by and most produce fish.

I'm saying nowt on this,
Apart from:
Urlys local is one of the, if not the best "proper" pubs in the Dengie area, and I can personally vouch for Rob's breakfasts/lunches/evening meals, in fact lets blow the fishing out, and spend the day in the"Prince"

Come on mate, you know the area, what about Stansgate or Burnham as a backup?

Morrisons fish counter, then straight back to the Prince, :lmao:

I think we need to make a decision on the date and the venue for the return I still think that Bradwell id=s the best bet, but we will have to find a back-up if the conditions look to bad for the place. I will start asking in Porters, the guy knows the area and will give me some good advice. I still think that East Mersea by the Cudmore country park will be worth looking at. Apart from that is Burnham, Stansgate, St Lawrence or maybe araound Mill Beach worth looking at. St Osyth would be good if we can avoid the holiday makers. Come on lads lets make a decision and soon.
Steve what sort of tides do we need for bradwell how long can we fish either side of h/w.

A big tide, with a good Westerly/ So' Westerly blowing over the tide, 3 hours up, then break for an hour, whilst the worst of the weed dissapears, then a copule of hours down, or retire to the Green Man,
hth
Ubd
Big tide sun 22 april 5.8mtr h/w aprox 16-30hrs would this be suitable.

The tide would work, all we'd need is a good blow!
Ubd
Sun 15th april 5.6 mtr h/w 11.30am
If we settle on Bradwell for now we can look at the tides and choose a date, in between some of us can look at some of the other venues and ask questions at the good tackle shops and find a back-up or alternate venue which will hold 50 anglers. I think there will be more at this meet than Dungie because a lot of guys are gutted at missing the last one. I have arranged to fish St Osyth this week and am tied up with a cycling event on Sunday, but I will endeavour to fish as many of the other venues that I don't know during the next few weeks. Trouble is all the venues normally fish I choose in an attempt to get away from other people, therefore are not suitable for a large rabble of anglers, you canot fit much more than 20 anglers in at Goldhanger and they must be able to walk quite a way as well. I will also find out as much as I can about East Mersea, I still think that has big possibilities. God I wish I had already retired, I have'nt got time for work!!!!
Have to remember the kent lads have to travel back to kent if its the 22 then we will be fishing to 7pm

That one would be better for those who have travelled a distance, and for those who don't have far to go it'd be ok for a beer or two in one of the many pubs in the area!

I'm fairly certain that if enough fish were caught the landlord would be happy to take as much cash as posible from the victors and vanquished alike, and I could ring the wife up at home time, asking her to come and pour me into the car to take me home :lmao:

Thats it I'm now thirsty going to get a large scotch and retire for the night .
So bradwell looks to be promising ?

By the looks of it we go for Bradwell on the 15th and some of us can look for a back-up if it looks as though it will be bad on the day, how does that sound.
Ok Steve keep looking for a back up incase of bad weather.
Alan
Can I request the 15th of April off then from work?
OK then the return meeting for Kent v Essex is to be on the 15th April.
