Hi Lesley,

What part of Essex? I’m not far from Colchester so make use of the Blackwater.

What set up do you have?

Sounds like a proper set up mate, I’m only just dipping my toes I’ve got a 2.4 Sib with a 4HP Outboard...

I normally got out from Heybridge Basin... weather dependent I’m edging towards estuary opening at Tollesbury/Bradwell...

If weather not great I poodle around Maldon Prom/Beeleigh Falls... nearly got caught out last time with tide going out quicker than I estimated!!
