Hi paolo..
Just wondering as you're local.. If you've got a camera, can you take some pics next time?? Would be helpful to myself and other anglers especially barge pier at low tide.. Still intrigued as to what we're fishing on as only ever get there when its dark.. And still to catch anything decent from there.. big grin

I drove over from Romford at 8am to drop my daughter off at school, then just managed to get a few lug dug at Thorpe bay before the tide came in. I fished there (next to the paddling pool) right through to 3:30 and had a single flounder of just over a pound.

Not exactly a busy day's fishing, but a welcome change after 12 consecutive blanks at Tilbury Fort ........
