    Report on-board Duke IV

    The fishing just gets better out from Ramsgate. On today's trip Craigs group landed Skate to 10lbs, Bass, hounds, and cod along with some tasty Whiting. Lugworm is the bait for Cod, in large lumps so don't skimp on the bait or they just pass it bye. Herring have arrived replacing Mackerel as the bait for Skate.  We were spoiled by the gorgeous weather today which helped the fishing. The Cod have arrived early this year and it looks like we are going to have a good winters fishing. The Skate are spread across the area, the strict quotas giving them protection are working and we are doing our bit by returning most of them we catch. Whiting numbers are up replacing the doggies as the most caught fish, the fillets l had this evening were superb, as good an eating fish as you will find so well worth keeping the bigger ones. Spaces still available for groups and individuals so dig out the winter jacket and come fishing.  This winter looks like it could be the best fishing for many years with plenty of quality fish out there!
