Norfolk
There are lots of bass being reported from anglers fishing at Caister beach, with the biggest reaching the 5lb mark.
Tactics: The bass can be caught close in with fresh lugworms or ragworms on a three-hook rig with size 1 hooks. There are also a few smoothhounds being taken by those fishing at range with crabs on a Pennell rig. A flood tide is preferable, and the best catches have come during the evening once the light is off the water. There is lots of parking close to the fishing.
Suffolk
The sole are now starting to show in good numbers off Dunwich beach, and there are also lots of bass to be had averaging 1lb-2lb.
Tactics: Ragworms are pretty much the only bait you need to catch at this venue and it only needs to be cast around 20yds-30yds. It doesn¹t matter too much which tide you fish, but the evening is by far the most productive time of the day. There is plenty of free parking available close by.

Bait Tech Mojo groundbait
Due in this friday
Bait Tech Mojo groundbait is a totally new concept that utilises the latest technology to formulate a groundbait unlike many others. Designed for full on attraction with low food content, Mojo attracts fish into the swim and holds them wothout filling them up. Devastating as a method mix or in a open ended feeder. It makes an extremely effective, soft paste that emits strong fish attractants. Creates the ultimate PVA stick mix. Perfect for cupping in loose to form a fish enticing cloud or equally effective as a balling in mix.

The floating method coil from Nisa
I now have the red version in stock
A whole different concept in Feeder Fishing!
Groundbait is squeezed into the coil, initially making the feeder sink to lake bed.
As the groundbait breaks down the buoyancy built into the feeder makes it slowly rise, dispersing an attractive cloud on the way up.
If a fish has not been taken by this stage the feeder will reach the surface and now becomes a float!.
Because the feeder still holds groundbait even at this stage, a cloud column will build up, attracting fish at all levels.
These are rigged Inline as normal METHOD COILS and are especially useful for cruising carp and other big fish.

The Sun's piranha story
I found this story/artical on the Angling Times web site and thought it was worth sharing.
The Sun's piranha story was a complete fairytale
By Steve Partner
General News
02 July 2010 16:00
The Sun. The good old currant bun. Home of page three, puns and some of the most humorous – and memorable – headlines in history. ‘Gotcha’, ‘Freddie Starr Ate My Hamster’, ‘Up Yours Delors’ and, my personal No1, ‘It’s Paddy Pantsdown’ being among the more quotable.
Yes, our favourite daily newspaper – read by 2.9 million – is the populist prince of print, the red-top super heavyweight that’s become a modern day icon. And, last week, it was also guilty of some of the worst journalism I have ever had the misfortune to read.
Now, I know, like ex-professional footballers who comment on the current crop, criticising someone in your own game is tantamount to treason, but there are some stories so ridiculous, so flawed and so potentially damaging, they are immune from the normal insurance of self-imposed silence. Like the story entitled ‘Killer Piranha in Folkestone Pond’ that appeared in The Sun’s June 17 edition.
If there has been a more misleading and misinformed article masquerading as news then I have yet to see it. Fairytales are more believable.
For those left in any doubt by the screaming headline as to what the ensuing words described, let me explain. Basically an ‘angler’ claimed to have caught a piranha while fishing Radnor Park in Kent.
On the face of it, there doesn’t appear to be much of an issue. Should a piranha, with all its over-inflated Hollywood-fuelled reputation for menace in tow, be caught thousands of miles from its Amazon home
in a lake somewhere in Folkestone, I can see the news value. If it were true, it would deserve its place as lead story on page 11 in Britain’s best-selling newspaper. The trouble is, it wasn’t. Remotely.
Let’s start with the ‘piranha’, that fearsome creature which, to quote the story, ‘can strip the flesh of a human in seconds’. This will be the same ‘piranha’ that was actually a red-bellied pacu, a fish that’s completely harmless, unless you happen to be a piece of fruit, that is.
And what of the rest of this tall tale of fiction? What about the quotes attributed to the angler, Derek Plum?
“It dragged my line about 500 yards,” he alleged. On a lake no bigger than 100 yards by 80 yards? Unless the thing was on steroids and did five laps, the figures don’t add up.
“It took me about 15 minutes to reel it in,” he added. At 1lb 4oz? What was on his reel? Cotton?
“When it emerged it was thrashing around and going crazy,” he continued. This a fish that normally lives in water temperatures of 27ºC to 30ºC and can’t, according to those who know, survive in the cold waters of a pond in Kent.
The Sun even wheeled out an ‘expert’ to validate this work of fiction. It would be unfair to name names, but the Angler’s Mail journalist in question needs a crash course in fish identification if he thinks a pacu is a piranha. I can almost feel the warmth of his embarrassment from here.
There is, of course, a wider point at issue here. National newspapers – and The Sun is by no means alone – have a sickeningly patronising view of fishing, only reporting on the outlandish, the crazy and the freakish elements of the sport. Ordinarily fishing is too dull to be newsworthy, occasionally appearing on the radar when it ticks certain boxes like fear, wackiness or unbelievable size.
I’m not naïve. I know all of that. But when papers like The Sun print this nonsense, it is taken as fact. Just like the way it reported the recent death of Heather the Leather, claiming it had been caught more than 1,000 times rather than the 40 to 60 that is reality, the unquestioning masses have no reason to doubt what they read.
And not only is that irresponsible, it’s dangerous too. We have enough battles to fight without the national press misrepresenting us so flagrantly.
Angling’s millions surely deserve better – and until they get it I’d suggest they look elsewhere for their daily fix of news.

Coastal catch report for june 2010
Gorleston
Lots of bites are virtually guaranteed at Gorleston wreck, thanks to the multitude of species present including bass, whiting, flatfish, dabs and dogfish.
Tactics: Keep things simple – a two-hook paternoster baited with lugworms and ragworms will be fine. Most anglers fishing here use two rods – one close in and one at 100yds-plus where the bigger fish are often found. Fish the tide four hours up and two back down. There is lots of free parking close by.

Sonu Baits - Drilled boilies
Drilled boilies have been developed to make hair rigging a boilie a quick and easy task. The kit is supplied with 2 Korum Quickstops on hook hairs, a Korum Quickstop Needle and enough boilies for a good session catching plenty of fish.
Often when putting a baiting needle through boilies they will split or fracture causing them to be weak and come off the hair. At sonubaits we have eliminated that problem by pre-drilling the boilies.

Costal catch report for May 2010
ALDEBURGH
Big cod are being caught on a regular basis at the popular mark known as the Dirty Wall, with the fish averaging 6lb although a few around the 10lb mark have been reported.
Tactics: Distance is essential at this venue and you’ll struggle to catch unless you can find the deeper water at 120yds. Lugworm or peeler crab on a single hook clipped-down pennel rig is recommended. Day or night isn’t making any difference, but you want to fish a spring tide on the flood.

Catching the Impossible to be screened in June
Hugh Miles and Martin Bowler have finally sealed a deal to get their critically-acclaimed Catching the Impossible series shown on terrestrial TV.
Channel 4 has bought the licence to the eight-part show, which follows AT columnist Martin and well-known actor Bernard Cribbins as they travel the country in pursuit of impossibly big fish.
Each of the hour-long programmes will go out at 7am on Sunday mornings starting from June 13 and, if enough viewers tune in, Channel 4 could re-run the series in a prime time slot at a later date.
“To have the opportunity to raise the profile of angling is terrific and right from the outset that was always the goal. The aim was to get on to terrestrial television and now we’ve got it, we need good audience figures.
If we do, it might encourage others to make fishing programmes for TV,” said Hugh.
“It’s been a long journey and we’ve had to jump through a lot of hoops along the way, but I never gave up. We got close with BBC4 and then ITV, before finally getting the okay from Channel 4. For a quiet and unfashionable sport like angling to make the schedules, where the main stars are the fish and the countryside, is amazing,” he added.
AT columnist Martin Bowler was equally excited by the news, insisting that getting on mainstream TV would be the highlight of an already exceptional angling career.
“The biggest ‘impossible’ wasn’t catching the fish, it was getting the programme on terrestrial.
“The main aim was always to showcase how special and amazing our fish and fisheries are and to share them with the wider public. Yes, it’s great news for the sport of angling, but personally I hope it proves even better news for the fish and goes some way to helping improve their protection.” Legendary TV personality Bernard Cribbins, who provided the commentary on Hugh’s earlier award-winning angling series A Passion For Angling, joined in the celebrations.
“It’s fantastic news. Fishing with Martin was a great experience and I was delighted to have the opportunity to work with Hugh again. I caught my best-ever pike, landed my biggest carp and got loads of stick for my ancient Mitchell 300s.”

Sonu Baits new Fibre paste
New in this week Sonu Baits new Fibre Paste
A revolution in paste fishing for the modern angler.
This paste has a unique texture with a soft consistency which means that it can be fished with confidence on a pole, waggler or feeder. The bait is still really soft and fluffy and easily presented at distances of over 60 yards.
Normally if paste is fished on a rod it has to be made so stiff so that it will stay on for the force of the cast, this then means that the hook will not pull through therefore making hooking the fish more difficult.
Once you have mixed the paste make it into a ball and just tear a pinch off and simply hook it on, it does not need to be moulded, this way it leaves a rough edged paste unlike any other. Once it is in the water small particles of the paste begin to fall away enticing fish to feed, this also feeds the swim.
Use larger hooks and heavier line with Fibre Paste as it catches larger than average fish and the larger hook will also help to keep the paste on.
Fibre Paste sinks slowly which means it can be cast on a waggler rod at cruising fish and it will fall slowly giving more time in the feeding zone.
It is a presentation which fish won’t have seen before and therefore will not be able to resist.
Fibre Paste is available pre-mixed in natural, red and green. Perfect for all fishing situations. Simply tear a piece from the pot, and hook it on.
Totally unique, stringy consistency
Will easily cast over 60 yards
Easier to use than standard pastes
Stays on in water much longer than standard paste
Rugged texture means increased attraction

Coastal catch report (April 2010)
Weybourne, Holt, Norfolk
If you fish a flapper rig with small hooks and worm baits you’ll catch lots of flatfish, and the odd cod are also being caught along this stretch of the coast. The local anglers advise you to use small hooks and worm baits on an incoming tide.
Tactics: Those who have been fishing for cod have been fishing as far as they can.
Corton, Near Lowestoft, Suffolk
There are signs that there will soon be a good run of cod as a few small ones are now starting to make an appearance. There’s plenty of parking by the beach.
Tactics: Plenty of whiting and most of the fish have been caught fishing at about 60 yards. Flapper rigs baited with black lugworms are the best tactics, and you should look to fish around the flood tides.

Licence funds are also used to help people take up fishing.
Anglers fishing in England and Wales must hold a valid rod licence.
The new licence year starts on April 1, and rod licences for the 2010/11 season are available now.
The attractive credit card-style licences show pictures by celebrated Wales-based wildlife artist David Miller, and this year feature either a barbel or a sea trout.
