The Bromley Boys cam on their annual beano yesterday.
Heads were hanging low after a late night in the hotel bar, not the brightest of ideas before fishing but heyho we are here to have fun !
As the tides were fairly small and the wind fresh we stayed inshore, hopeing for some more codling.
Expectations were high and large lug baits were sent seawards for the coddies to sniff out.
Sure enough the coddies found them, no large fish all in the 2 to 4lb range but a great day close to home.
Get on down with a bucket of lug. Remember that with 4 or more on a weekday we'll go !

Tuesday and Wednesday this week we went a fair way south from our normal grounds for a little adventure.
The trips certainly paid off as we had great fishing with a good variety of fish hitting the decks of Excel 2. On both days when the tide was running at it's hardest we drifted for bass with good results. Great to have anglers setting new PB's . The fishing was really exciting as the bass hit the baits hard as we drifted through the White water of a tide rip on the edge of a bank.
As the tide slackened we did drifts further along the series of banks picking up plaice and gurnards to dragged lugworm baits. On both days we anchored for a while as the tide was gentle to try for a blonde ray or two, sadly we didn't see any on these trips , just a few of them pesky dogfish !
When the tide started to run hard again it was time to feather up a few mackeral to take home nice and fresh in the cool box, then off home after a great days fishing.

Small tides this week off to the wrecks for some Black Bream and some Big Blondes on the banks .
Next week it's monster tides so Bass will be the target species, probably the best time of year for a proper lunker.
Keep everything crossed !

Another double figure bass hit the deck of Excel 2 today.
Well done Joe Fidock on capturing a superbly conditioned 11 3/4 lb fish.
Bait was a halved mackeral fillet fished hard on the bottom.
Inshore fishing continues to go from strength to strength at Ramsgate, ignore the miseries that say there`s no fish. We know better and can find them !
The next couple of months will be belters, i promise . . .

The fishing has been awesome inshore at Ramsgate with catches in excess of 40 Thornback rays on some recent trips. Its good to see a growing amount of anglers are keeping just a few and returning lots as these fish are slow breeders and go back quite happily.
The smoothounds seem to be slowing down at the moment but are more than compensated by the numbers of Bass. It seems at the moment that a bumper year is on the cards despite the mackeral shoals being finicky.
On one of our popular evening trips Katje and Lilly both caught nice skate of 6 to 9 lb then the boys redeemed themselves by catching a bass or two on the way back to port.
Happy Days,

weds 9th,
A beautiful flat calm day.
Off to drift for mackeral, soon find enough for baits for the day and a few school bass in amongst them.
Set the anchor in 45 ft and relax in the sunshine.
Sure enough the skate start, 11 before lunchtime.
Off for a bit more drifting, sure enough a few more mackeral but also a better stamp of bass, all 4 to 7lb, nice.
Back to the harbour for 430, All 3 anglers Happy.
