Been a very busy couple weeks;
Dieppe - had a fantastic trip across the Channel with a great crew. Wrecks were shocking, even at distance with only a few small Pollock off of 6 good marks. Baitfish everywhere so they have clearly fled the sanctuary of the wrecks and are gorging themselves. Tracked an electric storm over France during the evening which meant that just as we started landing Turbot we had to make a dash for England. More Turbot and and some big Brill made up for the poor wrecking.
Bass evening session - been wanting to try this over a few marks and finally had a go last week - float fished live-baits worked a treat and we will soon be loading dates for short evening sessions on the best tides limited to 6 anglers/trip........ it's exciting stuff!
Turbot & Brill - we've been hitting the banks and a few new marks. Couple
of great days with Brill to 7lb and Turbot to 5 1/2 - 14 landed today by Mark and his crew.
Almost fully booked for the rest of the Summer, think we have just 3 days and the odd place available so if you want to get amonagt the Turbot/Brill/Bass/Bream drop me a line.
Best wishes

12 mostly novice anglers kept us busy today. Steve and his crew were a pleasure to have aboard and we didnt find it too difficult to improve upon their trip total of 3 fish last time out with another boat. Once we had them all set-up it was a steady stream of fish, nine species in total with plenty of decent sized including some big Rays, Smoothehound and Big Bream.
It's great watching the youngsters getting in on the action, when you can put an 11 year old who has never fished before onto some big fish it's a real pleasure.
Evening Bass & Sole trips now starting - whole boat bookings from £10 per person, all night sessions from £40 per person; Please call for details - 07572065543 -

Cracking day out with Nolan and his team yesterday. Plan was to do some inshore work and snaffle a few Bream and Plaice. As the tide built the Bream came on and they had some beauties with great sport on light gear.
An easing tide reduced catch rate so we headed off to a wreck to get a big bend in those rods - after a few hours on the Bream very interesting watching an angler get hit by a double figure Polloock repeatedly diving for the wreck! Used slack to travel and complete final part of he order managing to boat plenty of Plaice in the final hour...... great day, great company, great fish - job done!

Great day out today with Gabriel and his crew. Largely inexperienced but had a great day landing Smoothehound, Bream, Thornback, Mackerel and some nice Pollock. Charlie boated best fish of the day, beautiful 14lb Pollock which the boys will be dining in this eve along with their Bream.
Beautiful calm, sunny day with great company - doesn't get much better.

A long day today, more Cod and Pollock to 10lb off of several wrecks on a glorious day - excellent crew again who gutted and filleted fish and did a wash down on the way back...... old school!

We went on a little tour yesterday visiting 8 wrecks with Bob and his fantastic crew. I had an idea where the Cod would be, took a little while to pin them down and very relieved when we did!
Not monsters but it is early season and now that I know where they are shoaled-up I will be back. No guarantee of course that they will stay in the same place so if you want the best chance of bagging an early season Cod give me a call 07572065543.... weather looks good for next few days.

Another fantastic day out on the wrecks today, landed over 30 Pollock to 14 1/2lb and I even had a chance to get in on action for a spell!
The big Cat made easy going of the stiff F5 and was a steady as a rock in the drift, a real pleasure to fish from.
We are full tomorrow and a couple of places Monday for more of the same - if you are keen to get in on the action drop me a line.

Great to welcome Andy & his crew aboard today. Plan was to have a nice relaxed day on the Plaice & Bream inshore but............. Having dodged 3 miles of commercial nets, avoided a couple of sets of beam trawlers and arrived on the reef with flat clam sea and little tide the frustration was beginning to tell!
Wrecking was the call and I opened up the engines and the tackle box - Billy cleaned up with almost a fish a drift (Carp anglers often do very well on the wrecks) and we had a great day landing over 150lb of fin perfect Pollock in the 6-8lb range...... not the monsters we are used to but fabulous eating fish.
My call on the wrecking so I pick up the additional fuel bill, only fair and you will all be treated to the same courtesy.

We took a trip out to the banks Friday and it was one of those days where nothing came easy. Water was coloured inshore (which made bait collection a struggle) and even on the banks we had to be patient - eventually located a shoal of mackerel which mad a fine mess of a 12 feather trace! The day turned into something of a species hunt with just about everything but Turbot coming aboard the boat. Unfortunately for the crew this was the first time we have not had Turbot off of these marks and we did put in the miles - Nobody more disappointed than us and grateful for the crews understanding.
Saturday was a different story altogether - Beautiful day, sun beating down and with a crew of mixed experience, on a big tide the easy option would have been to anchor up with smelly baits and sit it out..... Very pleased that we took the harder option and visited a few wrecks that often deliver early season fish. We had a steady stream of Pollock to 8lb, Bass to 7lb (returned of course) and our first Cod off of the wrecks this year which fell to Steven. A great day which kept Nick and I busy on the net........ Goes to show that if your prepared to put in the effort and miles the wreck fishing is still excellent out of Brighton.
As the water temp increases the Cod should start to show in decent numbers on the offshore wrecks so if you would like to get aboard check-out our calendar and get in touch.
