Clacton Pier has long been regarded as one of the prime sea fishing spots along the Tendring coastline.

Summer or Winter, there is always plenty of action to be had on this six acre pleasure pier.

Although, like Walton pier, this pier is hugely popular with day trippers during the summer season, its berthing arm ensures a more private fishing session than the pier in Walton.

Day Tickets currently cost £5.00 and are available from the Pier's front office. Season permits are £75, which are valid for a year from the day you bought it. With a permit you are still restricted to 9-5 fishing.

This winter season has been the best we've seen for the last 10/15 years, with large numbers of Codling being caught, some anglers have reported catching up to 40 of these in a single session.

We are now moving into the Spring run of fish, where another big run of fish is to be expected, fish of up to 4/5lb have already been caught.
