There's always a few caught around the 50-60lb mark from the river Crouch upto Harwich with the favourite spots being the sandy beaches off St Osyths and Walton/Frinton beaches

Match/Catch reports don't seem to get many replies, so people who post them are unsure if anybody reads them and possibly don't think it's worth while posting them. Suggestion - Also show the number of views each message gets, so people can see how much the Forum is being used. FYI - There must be 30 Club's in East Anglia, and Our Club and Maldon Club seem to be the only people who post reports on Forums regularly.

That's better

Where's my signature?

There's a problem with people taking freshwater fish to eat in my local area, a problem that's not helped by Tesco's having a 2lb mirror carp laid out on ice as fish of the day!

Times running out for setting next years fixture list, Does anybody have a 2004 tide table yet?

I understand that the problem is cod shoals are diliberately targeted with the intention of landing just the roe. It's not just a case of removing roe from side catches of cod.

Fishing close in during calm conditions I've used a big open ended swim feeder with excellent results. Use a fresh water ground bait for tench to mix in with chopped fish/mussels/etc
