    Report on-board Duke IV

    Tomorrows trip has been cancelled due to bad weather, a problem we will be experiencing more as we move into winter. A great pity as the fishing has really picked up with good numbers of Thornback Ray arriving. Ian and Richard brought the firm out fishing, some of them for the first time where they enjoyed great Skate fishing with 2 rods bent over at the same time being a regular occurence!
    We headed out to the wrecks last Sunday with Steves crew from Biggin Hill and although the Cod are moving off the wrecks we did manage a Cod amongst the Pollack. On the way back to Ramsgate we stopped on the Falls Bank and fished feathers on the drift for some large Mackerel. Steve who had struggled on the wrecks showed us the way with a 5lb Bass from the top of the bank.
    The Cod are moving inshore now and along with the Skate,Whiting and of course the Bass that stay around until mid November should give us the opportunity of good fishing.
    We are still doing the individuals trips each thursday throughout the winter and can take small groups out midweek at very reasonable prices. Please call Bob for details.
