About Me

WECLOME TO STAR FISHING - ANGLING PARTIES

I run STAR FISHING ANGLING PARTIES which is based in leigh On Sea, Essex.
Angling trips are great fun and make perfect gifts. They are also a great way to encourage team work are ideal for unusual team building activtites.

Me, net mending.
My family have been fishermen on the River thames in the Leigh area for at least 300 years. We have traced the line (excuse the pun) right back as far as 1780 when a Samuel Dolby was born. My father is eighty next birthday and has been a fisherman all his life and, yet still occasionally comes to sea with me. He says he has salt water in his blood!
My fishing vessell - LOUISA
I have my own trawler and mainly fish for Dover Soles though I do also catch cod, whiting, bass and the occassional lobster!
