    Report on-board Duke IV

    Plenty of species available inshore now with Smoothounds, Bass & Thornbacks along with quality Whiting. The offshore wreck fishing remains good with plenty of Cod to double figures along with Pollack and Bass.
    The fishing in the Thames estuary remains top class with quality Thornbacks along with Smoothounds to 15lb.
    The dreaded may weed has now gone, this should improve the Mackerel fishing that is often difficult here due to the coloured water.
    The quality Whiting we are catching at the moment are unusual at this time of year, we usually see them late summer, we are also catching them offshore on the Mackerel feathers.
    Large shoals of school Bass heading up the estuary, here one minute gone the next.
