Had a great year on Dawn Tide Skippered by Mark lots of different species and a few Personal Bests, our Bass season was awesome only keeping permitted amount. Because of Covid Restrictions I often hired the boat or with my friend Andy. Mark always is helpful with rigs or bait suggestions. Finished off the year with 2 nice Skate for the freezer. Looking forward to 2021 fishing .
Skippers Reponse: Thanks colin well done mate You put the effort and the time in and its paid off. I must say it took me a while to shape you up but theres no stopping you on them bass now !!see you 2021

Been fishing with Mark and our regular crew on a monthly basis all seasons for well over ten years now. We wouldn't go with anyone else from the Crouch. A fine young skipper keen to make the day a good one for everyone aboard. I have listened and learned from his knowledge of the Estuary waters. I've met some great long time fishing friends along the way too. See you next month Captain Peters.

A great session aboard the Dawntide 2 with our regular local Skipper Mark Peters. We were out to celebrate our oldest members 75th birthday doing what we enjoy most with lots of banter throughout the day. COLIN aka SANTA also won the Pot for the heaviest catch of the many fish and 7 species caught on the day. All returned safely. BBQ cheeseburgers and Hot Dogs for Lunch and Birthday cake for afternoon tea. A perfect day for Colin. Thanks for everything you do for our crew Mark. Much appreciated.
Skippers Reponse: Top day !!! Thanks

Not a review of a single trip but rather my review of about 2 years of trips! Dawn Tide II is a nice charter boat with a very large fishing area. Next the Skipper, Mark has very good knowledge of the area and has great advice which, if asked, is happy to share. Mark loves to catch fish himself and will always do his utmost to put you on the fish, always willing to move to track them down. I have had some of my best days fishing on Dawn Tide II including.my PB (and boat record ��) Smoothound and can thoroughly recommend a trip out with Mark.

The offshore autumn bassing continues to prove popular & provides unforgettable fishing as always!
The Average stamp is fantastic at the moment 4-5lb 58-60cm with both lures & worm baits working well.
Got to take the chance & push offshore when conditions fall right i will continue to push off there every chance we get until Christmas

The Autumn Bass fishing!!
As predicted & as the area is well known for the bass fishing has absolutely exploded!!
Cracking stamp of fish most around 4-5lb with some better ones amongst the mega shoals
I will be targeting bass offshore as much as physically possible until Christmas so plenty of time!
We will mainly target bass using the lure & live bait methods with some Bait fishing on the right tides too!
We will have to push further offshore for the better stamp of fish thats because the bass shoal up & head off so we will follow!
Take a look at my previous autumn hauls i think you’ll be shocked, It can be truly amazing too see 100s of very good size bass coming over the rails every cast!!
Availability is limited but contact me on
07523 488290 & il do my best to get you on & among the fish!
Thanks everyone
