The Essex Angler Type of Site: Personal Website

This weeks review looks at The Essex Angler site. As the name would suggest this is by an Angler from Essex, focusing on coarse and carp fishing, and the locations looked at in the site are from this area,although much of the content is valid wherever you fish.

It s a new site, which has only recently been launched. This is not to say that the number of pages are limited,in fact there s already a fair number on this site.

The site is nice and easy to navigate round, with the layout making it really easy to read, with some excellent diagrams and illustrations to demonstrate points being made.

A nice touch about the site, is that the author assumes you are a newcommer to the sport ( A view he s taken up as a recent returner to fishing ) and sets about explaining the various techniques in a good straight forward way. Even if you re not new to fishing as a whole, there s always something more to learn & having tips explained clearly with no assumption of knowledge is helpful.

I personally was particuarly impressed with the rigs & knots pages, and there s a good page on baits too. And in keeping with the climate at present there s a page on Winter Fishing Tips that s worth a look.

OVERALL 7.5/10 - verdict: A great start to this Essex based fishing site.
