Hi all,
Dave and I went fishing with Quentin last night. I can now vouch for
his expertise and local knowlege as we cought 4 good size mullet.
We cooked and ate one on the beach, a bit bland, could do with herbs
and spices, but otherwise ok. Bit chewy though. Can recommend Q and
his club, so do come next time. Details to be posted here.
Q has promised to write this trip up and post it here, as well as
some photo's.
Fishing by coracle in East Anglia is alive and well. Next Job is to
contact Brightlingsea Harbourmaster and check it is also legal
