There's still loads of life inshore at the moment. Stacks of whiting queuing up for our baits as well as dogfish, pouting, some nice dabs and even a couple of small bass. If you want a comfy day out catching plenty of fish then it's hard to beat the blackwater estuary at the moment.
If the weather permits then we can head offshore and target other stuff. It can be hit and miss but if you want something different and the chance of a better fish then I love trying for something different.
I have spaces this weekend both inshore and offshore weather permitting.

It's that time of year when the we start targeting the dabs again. Numbers have been great so far. The lads had some nice ones last week as well as good numbers. They might not make the reels scream but they can keep those rods rattling along with the whiting and dogfish. Barrie had the biggest one his trip but numbers were better for Stephen Clark and the lads. He soon turned treble shots of whiting into treble shots of dabs (though it took nearly 2 hours before he managed a treble of dabs). Numbers were steady throughout the tide and god knows how many the lads had by the end of the day. Clarky fished hard and the most as a result.
This may not be the most extreme fishing but it's a pleasant way to spend the day catching loads of fish and even taking a few for the table too. I know several of you enjoy a day on the dabs and we will be offering these trips for the next couple of months. Please let me know if you want to join us.

Managed to sneak out with Jons group the other day. It was back on the bait fishing for bass and although conditions were far from perfect we managed some nice fish. Jon was top rod with 10-15 bass (I didn't keep count) and the biggest one going over 4lb. We had whiting, hounds and dogfish too. Hopefully we can manage a few more days on the bass before the weather turns too much they go.
I have spaces this weekend and midweek next week if you are interested.

Still steady numbers of bass coming out lately. We were on the lures and the fish were there but the lads had to work for them. Stephen Clarke couldn't put a foot wrong and caught far more than his fair share. There's not always rhyme or reason to why one rod outfishes the other. that was certainly the case as the fish trashed Stephens lures and he was forced to change from one colour or type of lure to another.
We had a move later in the day where Steve canham picked up the best fish of the day.
It wasn't all bass and over the course of a few trips we saw mackerel, pouting, gurnard, weavers and even plaice mixed in our catches.
For the bass fishing we are back on the bait fishing for a bit and hopefully the weather permits us to get out and enjoy the last few weeks of the season before the cold sets in.

Young Stanley has been out slaying the bass with us again. I think he was even top rod the other day. Its always great spending time with him and even better that he's so keen on catching fish.
He did let the lads catch a few bass too and of course there's still been plenty out there to catch of late. Hopefully it doesn't go too cold and we should keep getting them until the end of the month at least. Inshore there's loads of life too. Mostly whiting and dogfish and apparently heaps of dabs.
I've got spaces this coming Sunday and Monday currently. Possibly offshore Sunday if weather permits.

It's always nice to see Tony and the lads and they had a great day on the bass the other day. There was a mixed stamp of fish coming out but some decent ones among them. The lads had 10-15 each and a few other bits and bobs too such as whiting and dogfish in between the bass. It might not be what we traditionally expect but who can knock fishing like this in November?
I have spaces over the next few weeks for groups and individuals for bass and general trips. Not all dates advertised.

We've been making the most of the weather and getting lots of offshore bass fishing in. The fishing hasn't disappointed at all with plenty of mackerel for lives when we need them. Lots of tub gurnard showing and of course the bass too. There were some decent fish on lives and then a really hectic time on lures to end the day. Stanley was pleased with his colourful gurnards to start with before the bass. It was nice to see him catch some bass on lures after pestering me for ages to use them. He's not doing too badly for 3 years of age. Most of the lads were catching a fish a drop towards the end so god knows what the final tally of bass was. Hopefully we get a good few more trips off there over the next few weeks.

With several bass coming out and bathed in warm sunshine it was easy to forget we were fishing inshore at the end of October! As expected there were loads of whiting and dogfish to keep us busy but surprising numbers of bass for the time of year.
Of course there are far more bass offshore but it's nice to know we can still get one or two inshore. In fact we had caught bass on every trip since we've been back.
Next spaces are on Thursday then into next week.

As always it was great to see Jon and the lads the other day. Just over a week since I'd seen them last but this time it was in Essex chasing bass rather than Devon chasing tuna.
The fishing didn't disappoint and the lads had steady fishing with a mixed stamp of bass throughout the day. 10-15 bass each and some on lures too.
The weather wasn't bad either as you can see.
I've got spaces on general trips and offshore bass trips this week and beyond if you want to join us.

We've been very busy since our return from Devon and Cornwall. The offshore bass fishing hasn't disappointed and was definitely worth coming back for. We had a wild trip out there the other day and there were fish of all sizes coming out. We only fished the first mark until 12.30 and the lads had an average of 10 bass each and had achieved their bag limit of 2 keepers each within the first couple of hours.
Steve was on fire and had the biggest fish which went 8.3lb.
Inshore there's loads of life. Mostly dogfish and whiting to keep us busy but if you fish through them we've had a few bass here too along with thornback rays and even a conger eel.
I have availability for individuals and boat bookings over the coming weeks.
