November Orford trip

Well, what can I say? Having looked forward to this for weeks, in the end it was surprising we went at all. When we were there we wished we weren't! The anglers returning from a night session said the beach was unfishable, but they had caught from the river. We walked across the island and braved the elements for a couple of hours. It was fishable, but losing sets of gear didn't raise the spirits. Then the wind strengthened and turned. Time to head for the river. Soon everyone was retreating. As the tide came in the spray from breaking waves on the beach could be seen from the other side of the island. I think we did the right thing moving! Anyway, more gear lost and no fish (apart from Howard, how does he do it?) from the river was not an improvement. When the boat arrived to pick up some other anglers it was decided we should join them. Home by 3.30 with plenty of bait but no rigs to fish with. There are a couple of photos on the left. By the way, Howard managed to catch three codling, a whiting and pout. One codling was the only other fish caught by our group. Apologies to the lucky angler, I didn't get your name. Next time can we go on a nice day?

March Orford trip

Another breezy day on Orford, although not as bad as last time. Ten of us fished the narrows from 9.00am to 4.00pm, with high tide about 11.00am. There wasn't much pull on the tide when we arrived, so the fish didn't feed. With the wind straight down the beach we probably wouldn't have held bottom anyway! One 2½lb codling was caught before high by one of our guests, but the rest of us had to wait. Some longer than others!

Once the tide turned it really started to pull. Alan left his rods (with lines pointing towards Lowestoft) to have a chat with our lucky guest. When he returned to reel in he found a 2lb codling on one rod and a trio of undersize on the other. The 2lb fish came on the top hook, surely this is wrong? Such fish should be returned out of pity. Further down the beach the others were also making the most of the tide. The action only lasted for an hour or so. Straight lug seemed to be the best bait. Shame some of us didn't try it.

Johnny Carter had the best catch, a level 10lb of codling and whiting. Tim had the biggest codling at 3lb 12oz. In total a dozen codling were caught. Howard struggled for once and ended the day fishing the river. Brian ran out of maggots, but the fish had already stopped feeding by then so he didn't miss much. He could have tried Alan's spider crabs if he was desperate. Those lucky enough to catch codling are pictured on the left. Those unlucky enough not to catch were taking the photos.

J. Carter - 10lb
T. Harman - 7lb 14oz
S. Gooderham - 6lb 8oz
B. Watson - 5lb 14oz
A. Scarff - 2lb
