Looking for a bolthole close to excellent sea fishing on the Essex Coast? Waterside Marina at Brightlingsea is well placed for fishing in the Thames Estuary and Mersea Island. This well positioned development includes 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments right on the waterfront.
The east coast waterways offer diverse fishing in quiet surroundings all year round. The Thames Estuary holds a large variety of fish including: bass, smooth hound, tope and skate with cod and whiting in the winter months. Some properties at the Waterside Marina give an option to reserve a mooring if you have your own boat. Alternatively the new upgraded 2007 Sophie Lea 38ft Bullet Crew Cab can be chartered for extended angling days. The boat is equipped with all the most modern electronics including fish finders, radars and plotters.
Rods and fishing equipment can be hired or bought locally at Brightlingsea Fishing Tackle.
Brightlingsea has a long heritage of sea fishing and was once famous for lobster fishing. Just across the water at Mersea Island you can still trawl for the famous Colchester Native and Gigas oysters.
