Yorkshire & Lincs Huttoft 2008.04.30 Sea Fishing off the coast at Huttoft, Chapel St Lenards, Ingoldmells Point
South shoreham harbour 2008.04.10 this is a venue you will love or hate if you  like boats/ships coming in and out of the port then you are in luck but if you like to fish out of the port you will need to be quite tall as the wall is about 5 foot high and standing on it is quite hazardous your best bet is to fish in to the port as you will have more chance with all the boats stiring up the bottom and there are less snags as the port is dredged at least twice a week.
Coarse Fishing Marks Eldernell Lakes 2008.04.04 Lovely private lake well worth a visit £5 per day £3 per evening £8 day and evening. Wild carp make the trip really enjoyable.
South & West Scotland Ardwell Bay 2 2008.04.02 Ardwell Bay is situated on the West side of the Rhins of Galloway a few miles North of Port Logan. Follow the A716 fro Stranraer to the village of Ardwell which is on the Luce Bay side of the Rhins (East). There is a good bait and tackle shop on the right just as you come into the village, but the road to take is about 50 yards before the shop on the right. Follow this until you come to a crossroads with a red phone box, turn left and follow the road all the way to the end. It turns into a very potholed track, but keep going right to the very end, and you will be rewarded with the secluded Ardwell Bay. There is a large sandy beach on offer and plenty of parking space. Those taking the tents should park at the very end of the road near the slipway, and go over the style into the field. There is a good flat area about 100yards towards the sea where camping for 6 tents is possible. Make sure you take all your mess home with you and bury and fire, as there are sometimes cows in the field. You are now spoiled for choice with regards to fishing points. There are some good rocks just another 100 yards to the North with the beach to your back, and a short walk around to the left of the field heading South takes you to even more suitable rocky ledges and deeper water. This area is very well known and can get busy, but there is plenty of room for all. The rock marks are deadly for good size Pollack, taking sandeels from the float. Wrasse will also get in among floated sandeels. Summer is free bait time with loads of mackerel. Ragworm will produce dogfish from any of the rock points, and there is conger to be had at the deeper points using your free mackerel. Bass are often caught in the shallower water towards the beach spinning the plugs, and a night-time session on the beach with lugworm, ragworm or crabs will get Flatties. The Bloke in the Ardwell bait shop will keep you right as to what’s in at the moment. There is usually an information board at the shop saying what’s being caught where. You also get the benefit of a West facing view and spectacular sunsets. This really is one of the best locations in the South West of Scotland, and fishes just about all year round.  
South & West Scotland Colintraive 2008.04.02 The mark at Colintraive is quite well known locally and very popular at weekends, however it is big enough to accommodate 6 anglers comfortably without too many tangles. The mark is near the village of Colintraive on the mainland and is accessed from the A886 road between Colintraive and Strachur. Coming from Glasgow follow the A82 past Loch Lomond to Tarbet, then the A83 up and over the “rest and be thankful”. Stay on the A83 then take the left turn for the A815 to Strachur, then onto the A886 and follow this all the way down to Colintraive.   There is a small single track road on the right as you approach Colintraive which leads along the shore of Loch Riddon, and when you get to the big lay-by with the bins, you are there. Alternatively, you can get the ferry from Gourock to Dunoon, and take the B836 over the hill to the A886. Anyone wanting a more scenic route should go by ferry from Wemyss Bay to Rothesay on the Isle of Bute then the A886 to Rubodach and get another ferry across the Kyles of Bute to Colintraive. There is ample space for camping just over the fence at the lay-by, and the mark itself is a 5-10 minute walk up and over a small hill from the lay-by, the route is quite well worn. The mark itself is a large sloping shelf of rock protruding into the Kyles of Bute at the mouth of the small Loch Riddon, and fishes into about 20m of water to the North. There is quite a variety of species to be had here, and mackerel aplenty from spring onwards. Pollack, Dogfish, Coalfish and even the odd Wrasse are most common, with a few smallish congers sometimes putting in an appearance. The deepest water is straight ahead and to left across the mouth of the small bay. There is also another mark to the right about 2 minutes walk round from the main mark, although the rocks here are a bit steeper and the water shallower. It still has room for 2-3 rods.

South Brighton East Arm (Marina) 2008.02.24 The East arm at Brighton Marina is is an easy access breakwater to fish with plenty of parking and superstore in the marina you don't need to bring anything other than your rods and yourself . you do have to pay to fish the breakwater but at £5 for two rods it it worth the fee lastly if the weather is over a force 6 the breakwater will be closed depending on wind direction tight lines
South East Hythe and Sandgate, Kent 2008.02.02 Long stretches of clean, shingle beaches with parking right beside the beach.
North West Wales & Mersey Cemlyn Bay on Anglesey. 2008.01.11 Large shingle beach, onto sand. Rougher ground at each side of the bay where rocks extend out to sea. Fairly large car park next to the beach.
East Anglia Cromer pier 2007.12.27 A good winter venue when it is too rough to fish elsewhere. Easy sheltered fishing with lighting and seating. We have caught cod up to 11lb here so bring a drop net. Avoid casting too far forwards as it can be snaggy there. Usually best on right hand side, but one night a guy had an exceptional catch of cod in the teens on the left hand side. On balence Gorleston jetty by the coastguard building late at night has been better for me,
South West Zennor Head 2007.12.27 Rocky headland, quite deep water, good fast current.
South & West Scotland S Uist Outer Hebrides Locat... 2007.12.26 Mackerel hot spot. This is one of the few locations where salmon farming is not practiced - salmon farming seems to be bad news for fishing, although in Norway (although it is forbidden) it is said that large pollock can be caught underneath the salmon nets. This is an easy spot to get to and has unlimited parking. There are some great walks from here, although none of the locations that I tried on these walks yielded anything. I believe that there are some cliffs a long way from this spot but I did not quite make them. The advice was that large pollock are caught close in by these cliffs. Be circumspect if you try as you will be on your own!!!
South & West Scotland South Uist Outer Hebrides L... 2007.12.26 S Uist is one of those frustrating places that ought to fish well but does not when you try! Lots of apparently good marks but they do not produce from the shore, possibly because there is much deeper water a little further out. This place is simplicity itself and can give give fun, albeit I have not caught big fish here. Ideal when the wind howls as it is quite sheltered. The locals also come here. Note Although there are extensive worm fields and worms are really good, (apart from the hassle getting a fork there) the worms and fresh mackerel do not really outshine spinners in the Hebrides for shore fishing in my experience. It is more akin to fishing in Norway.
North West Wales & Mersey Barmouth Bridge, West Wales 2007.11.05 Barmouth Bridge is safe and easy venue to fish, the only down fall is the 300yrd walk to get to the part that you can actually fish. Once you get to the bridge there is a metal section for about 60yds then it gives way to wood, this is where you can fish. You can fish any part from here to the far end This is a venues that I've fished for the last 15yrs now and with some good results so would like to share some of my knowledge to help others have a chance of catching a decent Bass. I started fishing the bridge when i was about 12 at a time when I couldn't cast so this is where i learned. Me and my friends would have casting comps thinking that the further we cast the more we would catch, how wrong we where but during the last 15yrs I've had Bass from anywhere between the piles themselves and the 100yrd mark. We use to spend hrs on the bridge in all types of weather and all states of the tide and we then found that the whole thing fishes the same which ever part you chose to fish. The best state of tide was the ebb, most of our better fish came out 2-3hrs after high when the water was getting very shallow. The main Bait then was crab, when ever we could collect it. If we couldn't get the crab then rag or frozen sand eels where the bait, but I learned early that my confidence was very low with out crab. Although we did catch on all the baits mentioned, my biggest fish fell to a long strip of mackerel which i was only using because I'd run out of any other bait. The Bridge fishes the same in day light as it does in darkness although different locals will disagree with me, you'll catch plenty of schoolys with a good chance of a big one at any time. I normally go for 4.5m(local) tides and above although I've had Bass to 4lb on anything over 4.0. It fishes best with a good Westerly or North Westerly Wind but you could still catch fish in any wind, especially in may and June. These days i use nothing but Crab until the end of June and then go on to live eel if i can get it, although I'll still use crab till the end of July but with not as many results. I either fish over High water, about 2.5hrs either side. Don't be put of by the shallow water on the ebb, late in the tide is when I've had most my biggest fish, as long as there's 2ft of water your OK. Or the first Run of the tide up to high. If you get there early and it is very shallow on the bank or even dry then fish at the end of the metal bit and cast in to the Channel to the left. I use 25lb line on a 6500 size reel, no shock leader as you only need short lobs, good bass rod or a beach caster will be fine. I fish a running ledger with weights between 2 and 6oz, for crab i use a 4ft snood finished with a 6/0 and 3 or 4 shore crab. For sand eel a 6ft snood snood and a 4/0 lip hooked eel, I think this gives better presentation in the tide but i also fish with people who use size 1 pennels. If you want to connect with more schoolys then go down to a 2/0 with 1 decent or 2 small crabs. The tide travels in fast with a bit of a pull to the right so I use just enough lead to hold the bottom, some times I'll use a lighter lead and allow it to search from left to right. I put most my bait out on to the bank about 30yds and normally fish with one rod, held in my hand and resting on the railing. Some times it worth putting a bait strait over the side. When i get a bite I'll give the fish about a foot of line, then once I feel the pull hit it hard. If its a good fish and you miss it you wont get another chance, schoolys will normally have another go. I'd take a drop net just in case you get a big one, personally anything under 5lb I hand line it strait up as often fish are lost whilst trying to get them in the net, fish also get lost hand lining them up, Catch 22. One thing is sure you'll be very lucky to hand line a double figure up the bridge.
North East St Marys Island - Whitley Bay 2007.11.05 This well known landmark is a great all year round mark.Its a heavy ground mark with the possibilities of big bags of codling , fishing to the north of the lighthouse into Crispins Gulley , best fished three hours before low water and 3 hours on the flood when the rocky outcrops and gulleys are exposed.Tackle losses can be high so its advisable to use rotten bottom tactics,The lighthouse is accessible via a causeway and tide times are available near by but it doesnt stay submerged for long and its easy enough to see when you can get across.
