    Report on-board Braveheart II

    The fishing this last month has been exceptional as traditionally and historically August can be very hit and miss with water temperature peaking towards the end of the month and prolonged high pressure systems, all marine life can become very lethargic punctuated with brief spells of activity. This August was completely different and everything seemed to be on the feed on all but the smallest tides. Weed has been a terrible problem for anglers this year but unfortunately for the best part the fish were where the weed was and anglers had to fish through it frequently reeling in and clearing line and bait of the dreaded stuff but those who persevered had good results.
    The month of August has been very good for stingrays as this is the month of you want to add these to your species list. We boated 14 and lost another 5 big fish due to Anglers tackle failure or angler panic, remember its not a race its a marathon with these powerful fish.
    There are still one or two good tope around for anglers that want to persevere for them. As we move into autumn i look forward to bass fishing on the sandbanks of the outer Thames estuary where they shoal and fatten up before moving off for the winter.
    More than happy to answer any queries

    All the best and tight lines
