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'.

The beaches of Spurn provide some of the best sea fishing in the area, with Cod and Whiting and Flats being caught through the winter and Skate, Flats and Bass through the summer. There is sport to be had all the year. At the very end of Spurn is deep water ideal for Cod but this only fishes best two hours either side of low water, the tide is to strong at other times. All along the seaward side of Spurn is good for all species of fish at all times though over high water being the better. The riverside of Spurn is very shallow and only produces Flats and the bass over high water.

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.
