About

By Vic, 18 August, 2006 21:01

Picture of me with marina squiddlyThis site is primarily a diary of my sea fishing exploits – successes and failures. I may at times also digress and wander off onto other topics which are of interest to me but I’ll try and keep it to fishing.

As time goes by, I will be adding more information here that will hopefully prove to be useful to those who either fish in my neck of the woods or those who are considering visiting the area and fancy a dangle.

These areas include Brighton, Peacehaven, Newhaven and Seaford. If you would like information on a particular mark or locality, please contact me. If I don’t know, I can certainly point you in the direction of someone who will.

Amongst other things, I have also included links to other angling resources that I use, which may prove beneficial to seasoned and new anglers alike.

I do not profess to be one the greatest anglers around nor an expert of any kind, I’m just an ordinary bloke who enjoys his fishing and is willing to share his experiences. I leave the expert stuff to… well… err.. the experts.

Please feel free to leave comments and to contact me if you wish to exchange reciprocal links.

    VIC FISHER

    Sorry; I’m not going to ask you anything about fishing! My son has introdiced me to your impressive Website, which brings back memories. I and all my class-mates were evacuated to Brighton on September 4th. 1939 from Bermondsey in Central London. Well-considered as Bermondsey became the most heavily-bombed area in England during the Blitz of WW2. Surrey Docks was the first British target completely fire-bombed on the first night of the Blitz and, being the biggest timber port in the World, it burned brightly for 42 consecutive nights. I was 13 when we went down to Brighton, we were all re-evacuated to Chersey in Surrey after the Dunkirk Retreat. At 14 I was a messenger boy through the Blitz working for Cable & Wireless. I went to Sea when I was 16, signing on the Admiralty Cable Ships. Whilst there I got sent to India as A.B. to join the Cable Ship H.M.S. Bulan, my oppo was an ordinary seaman named Vic Fisher, Yes VIC FISHER! After it was all over we stayed good mates, I met his Mum and Dad and stayed with them at Dagenham. We both married our respective sweethearts, neither of us attended the other’s weddings because of our Merchant Ship movements. I came ashore on getting married, whereas Vic stayed at Sea, studying with a special scholarship I had introduced him to with the Royal Society of Arts, and he kept right through to his Master’s or even his Extra Master’s ticket. I know he stayed with the old Palm Line as I’ve received confirmation from someone who served under him, on W.W.W. I was A.B. with the Port Line. We (Mum & Dad and 3 kids) emigrated to N.Z. 50 years ago and I have never been able to find Vic! I am coming up to 83, Vic must be 81/82, so you are a sort of last resort. Whatever, Yea or Nay Many days of great fishing for you and your loved ones. Best Regards, Eric Tate.

  7. Hi Vic
    Came across your blog by accident the other day and must admit to having enjoyed reading it. Just wondered if you would be so kind to add links to my guiding website at http://www.predator-people.co.uk and by blog at http://predator-people.blogspot.com to your links on this site, I’ve already added your to my sites.
    Hope this is OK and if your ever up in Norfolk give me a shout
    Allan
