Angling

Sea Angling

Sea fishing is either carried out on the shore from a beach or pier head/jetty, or on the water via a boat. Fish from the North Sea and estuary can include sea bass, mackerel, mullet and flat fish. There are many commercial sea angling boats which can be chartered along the east coast - a list of these boats with contact details can be found under 'Boat Hire, Launch and Storage'.

Freshwater Angling

Freshwater angling is carried out in canals and reservoirs or ponds/lakes. This type of fishing is for fish such as Carp, Bream, Rudd, Roach, Tench and Pike. There is an art to catching each type of fish. Some of the fish especially the carp can grow to 30lb or more and can be worth up to £2.5k each. All coarse fish are either returned once they have been caught or are kept in keep nets until the end of a days fishing or competition, they are then weighed and released.
