Sea Fishing For Cod From The Beach - Cod Quest Part Five
The start of November means it's that time again, time to head back out on the beach in pursuit of Codling and what better place to start than where we finished up last year, Aldeburgh town beach in Suffolk.
Keen to get out and blow away the cobwebs we ventured south to the shingle and re-started our quest, armed with some top quality bait and faced with some reasonable conditions, did we succeed?

Mersea Island is an island in Essex, England, in the Blackwater and Colne estuaries to the south-east of Colchester. Its name comes from the Old English word meresig, meaning island of the pool. The island is split into two main areas, West Mersea and East Mersea, and connected to the mainland by the Strood, a causeway that can flood at high tide.
The island has been inhabited since pre-Roman times. It was used as a holiday destination in Roman Britain for occupants of Camulodunum (Colchester). Fishing has been a key industry on the island since then, particularly oysters, and along with tourism makes up a significant part of the island's economy. The Church of St Peter & St Paul in West Mersea is thought to have existed since the 7th century, while the Church of St Edmund in East Mersea dates from around the 12th or 13th centuries. The island became popular with smugglers from the 16th to the 19th century. It became a focal point for troops in both world wars, and a number of observation posts can still be found on the island. Tourism remains popular, and there are a number of beach huts and holiday parks on the island. A week-long festival of boat racing, Mersea Week, takes place every summer.
The island lies 9 miles (14 km) south-east of Colchester and 26 miles (42 km) east of the county town, Chelmsford. It is the most easterly inhabited and publicly accessible island in the United Kingdom and is one of 43 (unbridged) tidal islands which can be accessed on foot or by road from the British mainland. It is situated in the estuary area of the Blackwater and Colne rivers and has an area of around 7 square miles (18 km2). It is formed by the Pyefleet Channel to the north and the Strood Channel to the west, which connect the Blackwater to the Colne. The much smaller Ray Island lies adjacent to the north while the uninhabited Packing Marsh and Cobmarsh Islands lie to southwest.
Internally, the island is split between West Mersea, which is the main inhabited area containing the jetty and marina, and East Mersea, which is predominantly farmland and includes Cudmore Grove County Park to the east. There is also a small hamlet at Barrow Hill to the north of West Mersea. The land immediately facing the Blackwater is known as the Mersea flats, which is mostly beach that dries at low tide. The former Bradwell Power Station can be seen on the other side. West Mersea can be further divided into three areas. The Old City in the southwest of West Mersea serves the fishing and yachting industries and contains a number of listed buildings.
The main access to the island is via a causeway known as the Strood, carrying the Mersea–Colchester road (B1025). The road is often covered at high tides and especially during spring tides. On average the causeway is flooded for a week per month on average. During the 1953 North Sea flood, the Strood was submerged under over 6 feet (2 m) of water, cutting off access to the mainland.
A regular bus service links West and East Mersea to Colchester via the Strood and Abberton. A foot ferry runs from East Mersea to Point Clear and Brightlingsea on the other side of the Colne estuary, including a scheduled service in the summer and a dial-on-demand service in the spring and autumn.

Full blog post on this video here
This is an updated version of the original video.
Shot on location at Mersea Island, mainly at Seaview Holiday Park. Please note this is a private beach, please don't swamp them with drones. You will need permission from the landowner here to operate a drone.
Please note, no drones were flown around the kids or operated on private land.. all shots near to the kids and on private property were taken with the drone held in my hand powered down. All flying was done over the sea and operated from public land. Please fly safe and respectfully and follow the drone code and rules set out by the CAA.
A collection of shots taken around Mersea Island in Essex, UK, of the 5 year old boys Jack and James, on their holidays on the Island this summer. Taken with an SJCAM 5000X on a TBS Discovery drone with a Tarot 2D gimbal. Woke up early to perfect weather, no wind, calm seas, blue sky, and the sun rising. When I saw the shots I thought I must make these into a video.
Mersea Island in Essex is one of their favourite places to go and is great for boating, beaches, walking, wildlife, camping.
Edited in Adobe Premiere CC, with the FUJI Reala 500D Kodak filmstock settings, a 2.5:1 aspect ratio, and some lens correction for the small GoPro size camera lens. Hope you enjoy it as much as the boys.
We offer full aerial video services in the Essex area, as well as conventional video editing, to make you a great wedding or promotional business video.

The UK shellfish industry is a relatively small-scale and specialised industry, very much in harmony with the marine environment. The continued presence of this industry provides reassurance that UK coastal waters are in good health - and in good hands.

The largest estuary in Essex and one of the largest estuarine complexes in East Anglia, the Blackwater Estuary is of international conservation importance and home to hundreds of thousands of wetland birds.
The coastal habitats that make it so special are tidal mudflats, saltmarshes and coastal grazing marsh. The coastal marshes of Essex are disappearing very rapidly (up to 60% of these marshes have been eroded by the sea in the last 20 years). This has major implications, not only for wildlife but also for flood defence, and affects everyone who lives on, visits or values these wild and beautiful places.

BEACH WILD CAMP WITH GOOD FRIENDS | EAST MERSEA
This was a group meet up organised by myself and we decided to wild camp on Mersea Island on the Essex coast again, but at a new location this time, as there was a huge scooter rally on at the time which was taking place close to my usual spot on the island.
This new location turned out to be a lot better, so I will probably be returning here in the future for a solo camp and/or a camp with 1 or 2 people to test out different shelters and set ups.
We all had a fantastic time and I got to meet a new subscriber named Hambo (I gave him a birthday shout out in an earlier video, that's how we met) and he gave me one of the greatest gifts ever, customised TOM OUTDOORS CIDERS! Thank you again mate and thank you to everyone that joined me on this one!
