Far too long since the last fishy fest with my "little" brother,
I loaded up enough sea gear for two and took the long drive to his place in The Fens
ready for a prompt start on the Anglian Coast.


Day One. Thursday 11 March 2010

Salthouse, East Anglia

(East Anglia - that's abroad innit?)

http://www.tournorfolk.co.uk/salthouse.html


Bait:
Welsh lug, rag, mack and party squid.

Over the sea wall and we were quickly fishing the steeply sloping shingle beach
patrolled a cast length out by Mr Seal, suggesting there was a fish or two in range.
In between pegs unfamiliar pipers check out the tideline and pose for the birdwatchers


Looking North (the sea is on the wrong side over there!! )

South towards Weyborne where a dredger was doing whatever dredgers do,

Pete had never caught a fish off a beach before, but he was soon in with a first cast scorpion.

followed by a dab

More scorpions followed, feisty little critters growling at us

I'm not admitting who caught the most ( My excuse is the amount of time I spent mentoring him! )

Great to be out with bruv, the fish were just a bonus

but we hadn't finished yet

Day Two. Friday 12 March 2010

Decoy Lakes, Whittlesey.


The Chuckle Brothers seize the day.

http://www.whittleseyweb.co.uk/decoy.htm


Bait:
Sweetcorn, luncheon meat, caster, maggot, pedigree chum mixer, pellets, bucket of groundbait, hemp and more...
in fact more groceries than the average supermarket.
I put my camouflage gear on and did my best to look like I thought a carp angler should.
My camo coat was 3/4 length when I bought it 30 years ago, oddly it's now a bum freezer and a bit tight - odd that.

After umpteen hours ferrying 14 lorry loads of gear to Willow Pool we were ready to begin setting up
.
YIN & YANGlia PeteFeb2010015

The pegs are patrolled by feral mink, woodpigeon clatter through the trees & pheasants call from the fields

I plan on using my lightest sea rod, a tidewater MPS, allied to a coarse reel and 4lb line on the mullet this Summer
and I was keen to see how this set up handled a pumped up carp, bruv was sceptical.


This time it was my turn to be first in, three fish later I had to admit that even though it looks spindly to me and it did the job, the MPS is a poker compared to Pete's sensitive feeder rods and it was given up for lent carp gear.

YIN & YANGlia PeteFeb2010014

Many carp and a bonus chub followed on rod and pole

Too many fish to bother photographing, we must have been well on the way to a 100lb of fish overall.

Mustn't leave it so long next time! He's promised me a barbel and I've promised him a bass.
