Boat Angling Regional reports

EASTERN - Wallasea 23rd June 2023

It was one of those near perfect days that you dream of to go fishing, apart from the early start! We met up in the car park at Wallasea marina at 06:30, did a boat draw and then had to trudge the full length of the pontoons to get to the boats. It was mainly sunny all day with a slight breeze. From first drop down we were
catching Smoothounds and dogfish, a move into shallower water for bass still only produced hounds for Predator but Hard Labour fishing right behind was taking only bass. With another move back into the river Crouch entrance we had a few small fish and soon it was time to head back to the marina and another long walk down the pontoons to a well earned dinner at the Essex Marina bar.

Well, this years CSSC Northwest Region Sea boat comp took three dates to take place as we had two blow offs. But on the 10th August we did get the boats out. Due to cancelations and dropout’s due to planned commitments we ended up with only 10 competitors from a starting point of 16 but all were keen to qualify for the nationals. Good sailing time and all keen to get on with the day we used the usual two boats Jensen and Suveran. Due to number space was well allocated with 4 on Jensen the smaller boat and 6 on Suveran. All competitors due their peg / boat and made there way on board. Boats sailed prompt at 8. Well throughout the day boats stayed close to each other with friendly competition between Simon and Tony (skippers) to which boat was getting the better species. We fished a wreck, rough ground, the wind turbines and then a few drifts over mixed ground. Both boats looking for the species. Well the results speak for themselves. Most people picking up 10+ recordable species and a good number of fish. After a long day the boats finished and headed back to add up the results. Both boats fished well and this was bourn out buy the top three. Winning this year was Nigel Conlen wit 13 species and total of 216 points on Jensen, in 2nd with only 1 point separating him from 3rd was Malcolm Duff with 12 Species but 202 Points, and 3rd was Keith Lees with 13 Species and 201 Points. Well done to these three very close results. They will represent the northwest next year at Milford Haven 05.07.24. Good luck gents.
