The hut? Is that a type of shed?

Never mind, at least you were fishing. I was toiling away under a broiling sun, forming window openings in the barn conversion in building.

My beach hut is basically a shed by the sea. :thumbs:

I'll take photos next time.

Knew that would get your mind back to work

It is a shed Shirl .... but the ground rent is so expensive only travellers and Paddy the dodgy slab man types can afford them.

In fairness they are not as expensive as they used to be ... now the town has gas and electric they don't use them as firewood during the winters any more so they don't have to be replaced yearly :spiteful:

I believe they do burn the occasional one just for ceremonial purposes though.

 

i had a go at brightlingsea near the lighthouse yesterday. water looked good for bass but had a big time blank.

 

If you fished by the lighthouse, you were somewhere else.

 

i was at brightlingsea near the blue cafe hut fishing of the railings where the lighthouse looking thing is, was very windy aswell

 

Thats Batemans Tower,its just a wonky folly.

 

"I believe they do burn the occasional one just for ceremonial purposes though."

When I was a lad that was what passed for a good night out in Brightlingsea.

 

All sounds a bit too wicker man for my liking.....

 

They're a strange bunch that side of the water Miz.

I've got a soft spot for Brightlingsea though - anywhere where the locals view chevrons on the road as somewhere else to park has to be amusing - as long as you're not trying to get up the main drag in a Land Rover ........

Excellent high quality butchers there though, and Craig's worms are always good quality ( Brightlingsea Bait and Tackle - near the hard ).

oi!thats an official parking spot,if you have the right badgehope ireland went ok.i seem to remember the ancient sport of hut hopping used to be popular.Gtn i would have thought running around the ruined church down ford lane at midnight was more your cup of tea.:ahhh:unlucky on the fishing neil,was going to pop down on monday but have been down with a flu virus.

 

Unlucky about the blank i have only fished there once and had a tiny bass but hoping to go there tomorrow.What would you say the best bait and spot is for brightlingsea.
any answers are greatly appreciated

 

hope ireland went ok.

Haven't gone yet Dale - the Missus has had major keyhole shoulder surgery ( loads of ripped tendons ) so I've been the child minder / taxi / handyman / person to scream at for the last couple of weeks - hence no fishy reports.

I've got to do all the driving both ways, but when I get there I know a spot that just oozes macky 15 yards out - huge fun on a bendy rod and light float - and delivers good Huss and Wrasse, with a possibility of Roker if I chuck it a bit further. Pure angling heaven. Not looking forward to it much at all ........

Don't think the spot matters that much HC, but I always use Rag in the summer. Others have done OK on lug, but it hasn't worked for me. Crab is generally a waste of time. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

 

Lug will catch, but you've got to keep it away from the crabs. A good spot used to be the sluice pipe just along from batemans tower, but there's lots of slippery rocks there now.

 

fished batemans tower with lug,rag,peeler and squid and not even a nibble fished to rods 1 with 1 hook clip down and other with 2 hook clip down.Rod number one 75ish yards 1 hook clip down mixed with rag,lug,peeler and squid not all at once but not even a nibble and hooks coming back clean within 5 minutes of being out there.I think i will stick to walton pier.

 

hooks coming back clean within 5 minutes of being out

Therein lays your answer to the blank ..... got to be able to slow up the little leggy critters at B/sea. Fair do's because it is difficult at times.

 

yep can not argue with that and what do u think would be a good idea to get away from the little buggers?

 

Run like the wind

use some bouyant rig foam or purpose made floats on your hook snoods.

 

I shall take note and make a rig just to keep away from the crabs.

 

Tried again at the hut today, same result, a blank.

I did have fun spinning a ragworm through the mullet though. I had four hits and two follows, but no hook ups. It was quite exciting. Only get 30 minutes before they move off elsewhere.


Three blanks in a row now, can I make it four tomorrow at Frinton?

 

mullet at brightlingsea never heard of that before and good luck tomorrow

There's some right monsters.
