It's been an absolutely stunning day at sea today.
We sailed with only a few lads onboard and I hoped we might rake a picking inshore but all we could muster was a few pouting each spot until we reached a wreck at 13 mile.
We picked away and managed half a dozen keepers codlings, until the pouting fest started again.
I had a natter with the lads and they agreed to chuck a few extra quid in the fuel kitty so we could get a bit closer to Denmark!
It was a good move we got to our 1st offshore mark and got a really good hour on the shads and hokkai rigs getting every rod in every pass through.
As it dried up we tried a couple other mrk finishing on a high on another Wreck getting most rods in every pass plus a couple of double shots on the hokkai rigs.
We didnt tally up a total but we'd plenty of cod and pollock to keep with even more throwbacks backs not keeping anything under 45cm the best going over 8lb for Rob.
If you're interested in a trip with me, please give me a call on 07977 436903 if you can't get hold of me please drop me a text message or WhatsApp and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Report on-board Galloper
Fishing has been busy over the last few trips. Fish are on the baits immediately now and we've had a great variety.
Our main targets have been smooth-hounds, rays and bass with various other fish mixed in depending where we are.
We were surprised to fish one mark the other day where there were so many school bass we eventually moved as we were struggling to get through them. Baits Weren't even hitting the bottom before another one was rattling the rod tip! There's been some sizable ones showing too now.
Most of the smooth-hounds have been relatively small but still welcome and with most trips producing around 20 they have increased in numbers too.
Most trips have seen one or two rays which is nice to see but unfortunately nothing like the numbers we had a few years ago.
I have spaces over the Easter weekend with inshore and offshore trips available for individuals and groups.

18/04- 5 spaces @ £60pp

Another stunning day out there today targetting those Big early season Bream on juts out second trip for these of the season. All regular anglers onbaord today that have been returning to fish with us for several years so expectations were high and it didn't disappoint. Simon Clark straight into Bream from the off. An excellent and very experienced angler I wouldn't expect anything less from Si and he was closely followed by the two Deans, brothers Brian & Les, Mike Dew and the very experienced and acapvle Bob Nunne:
Plenty of very good fish in the.1 1/2 - 3lb range retained and plenty of smaller ones let go and then.......... there was a lump of a fish landed! It could have fallen to anyone (I would have preferred that it did!) but as luck would have it this one fell to the skipper.
A very large Hen fish, packed with roe and in peak breeding condition. Fish of this stamp are exceptional, they have avoided predation, infection and capture for many years and the egg production of these very large is exponential- fantastic DNA there so back she went to hopefully produce more of the same.
A big fish full of roe should be treated gently if it's to be safely released so a quick couple of pics and away she went. Getting the scales out would been detrimental to the fish (ok when we are keeping them for the table) and as she was being returned speed was of the essence!
Comfortably the biggest Bream we've had aboard in the last 9 years, the biggest I've seen on a boat and the biggest all aboard had seen on any boat they ah e fished on - all we in agreement that it was in excess of 4lb so let's say 4lb....... I was just happy to see her swim away strongly.
A really chill day out there today with great company - Mike & Bob, thank you for the gifts, very much appreciated and Briand thank you for the promise of more of that wonderful smoked Trout��
We will be runnning more of these Bream trips when conditions are right to target the higher quality fish - get in touch if your an individual or a group and we will do our best to accommodate you.

Brighton Bream fishing is off and running aboard www.brigandcharters.com!
Always a little nervy when we head for our first targeted trips of the year, today was Bream and the last 9 years of our catch records strongly suggested that we would be ok....... but until that first one comes over the side there's a fair bit of pacing up and down the deck!
Gavin soon put any concerns to rest with a nice fish of a couple of pounds and that was quickly followed by a steady stream of quality fish up to 3 1/2lb.
As always, the crew really do make the day and sharing time with wonderful people is what drives us forward. A mix of people who have fished with us for several years and some who are new to fishing with us at www.brigandcharters.com - a pleasure sharing the day with you all and thank you all for your excellent company ��
We have 3 Spaces available this Monday 14th so if good quality Bream fishing, in shallow water on light gear appeals to you give Karl a call on 07768 721477 to book on with us.
NEW BOAT UPDATE!
Well, she's almost there..... feels like I've been saying that for the last month! However, It has to be right and we are making sure it is.
A big milestone getting the decks flocoated, stainless in place, winch installed (a huge thank you to the wonderful Carl Porter on that front), twin transducers and all seacocks, fuel lines, water hoses replaced. Night vision system, MFD's & safety equipment to be installed, exhausts hooked-up, cabin heating system and heads to be plumbed in and we're ready to sea-trial and get her back to Brighton....... another 2 weeks should see that done and Captain Karl Pope will be smashing those inshore Bream, Bass & Plaice ����.
Best wishes
