alan stevens Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Hi folks, my name is Alan and I live in north Essex. I have fished the Essex rivers and coastline all my life. As a kid, my dad had a boat at Wallasey Island so every weekend it was the Crouch that entertained us. Now my job takes me all over the world and I try to fish wherever I go. Covid has of course prevented me from travelling this year so I have fallen in love again with the essex beaches. I write a blog each week which is posted on a Sunday at www.essexanglers.co.uk The fishing has been awesome to be fair but I would like to get out on boats again. If anyone needs a deckhand or someone to share the costs of a trip do please let me know Cheers for now iowspence and Andy135 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy135 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Hi Alan, Welcome to the forum. We have a couple of Essex-based boat anglers on here, so I'm sure they'll be in touch when they're short-handed. I've just taken a look at your blog - very nice! Three cheers for the humble whiting, and let's not forget the dogfish either - the blanker's best friend 😉 alan stevens and Geoff 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saintly Fish Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Welcome to the site Alan. You may already have realised that there are a couple of real fools on here. But, don’t worry, the rest of us sensible ones will keep you safe from harm. Enjoy the forum and please muck in with whatever you feel like that’s boat or fish related. captin slows old outlaw and alan stevens 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he wanted me to drive his boat and find him some numbers to pinch really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Hi Alan, welcome aboard, don't worry about the others - they only get worse. There are a few of us sensible people around (mainly lefties of course). Are you left handed or even ambiwhatever? Geoff. ☺️. JonC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan stevens Posted November 29, 2020 Author Share Posted November 29, 2020 Hi everyone, thanks for making me feel welcome. Really appreciate it. Sorry for the slow responses as didn't check the site all week not expecting much banter. How wrong I clearly was! Bring it one guys haha had a fantastic day fishing yesterday on the Blackwater. Using slider rigs pulled in a 3 1/2lb codling (small for you boat guys but tidy for the essex beaches) along with 6lb thornback, five small sole and a couple of gurnard. Strangely not a single whiting? Will blog about if today from 6pm on essexanglers.co.uk Both the cod and flounders were caught well off the bottom on whole bluey so I reckon the fish are feeding on the river herring. More later chaps - for now have a great day Geoff, GPSguru and Andy135 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alan stevens Posted November 29, 2020 Author Share Posted November 29, 2020 Yeah I was watching the posts. Seems lots of people out but not much action. Just a lucky guess to fish with the slider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an FYI I've deleted your post in the Boat catch reports as we already have your report in the Shore section 👍 Well done again.
