    Although the influx of sprats has slowed down some of the fishing currently there are still fish to be caught. The other day there were still plenty of whiting to be caught although the stamp was smaller than a few weeks ago. Gorden was pretty good at catching dabs as well as a small ray and several of the whiting were a better size and ideal for the table.
    I am trying to arrange a couple of days over the Xmas period so if you want to get out then please get in touch. After that my next spaces are at the end of January.
    Otherwise have a great Christmas and I will try to put some more interesting content on here for you to read over the next few weeks.
    Spaces between now and the 1st of January aboard Galloper from brightlingsea Essex please call 07956411528

    There are still one or two rays hanging around inshore to be caught. These are a welcome break from the whiting which are a little smaller in places than they were a few weeks ago. The arrival of sprats has distracted many of the larger whiting and codling inshore. Even the dogfish have slowed with the drop in temperature. Thankfully the occasional ray puts a better bend in the rod. Of course inshore there Is fun to be had targeting flatties. Further offshore there will be more variety available. Those doggies will still be feeding well but between them there will be a better chance of rays, hounds, spurs, cod and bass. For that we will need some better weather though. Looking ahead to the Christmas break and there may be a chance to get offshore if you fancy it. If you just want a social then I will try and put something together inshore. I may even arrange a charity comp if there's enough interest.

    There have been plenty of dabs about lately. These little flat fish are a welcome sight on a winters day. We decided to have the afternoon targeting them the other day and sure enough there were plenty caught and some over a foot long too. At times there were double and triple shots which made a nice change to the triple shots of whiting we had been getting before hand. Stephen was probably top rod with 27 dabs for his efforts.

    The Braintree sea anglers had a nice general trip the other day. There were plenty of bites throughout the day. Mostly whiting and dogfish but a few pouting and dabs showed too. There were a few rays caught throughout the day although no monsters but always welcome. It was a pleasant day out in the winter sun despite a chilly start. I have a few days with individual spaces and boat availability before new year. So please get in touch to join us aboard Galloper.

    We managed to get offshore again for bass the other day. This time it was bait fishing at anchor. The drop in water temperature had taken its toll and the fishing was harder than earlier in the autumn. Having said that there were still plenty of bites. Mark and myself had fish throughout the day although the stamp was smaller than earlier in the year there were a few nice keepers amongst them.
    I have spaces this week offshore bass fishing weather permitting. We aim to be on lures mainly and normally the stamp is better.

    We took advantage of a brief weather window the other day and enjoyed a fantastic day on the bass. Traditionally we would have written off bass fishing by the end of November but who could ignore fishing like this? Lures were the order of the day and with some fish pushing double figures this really was fantastic sport. Steve canham couldn't put a foot wrong and bought a steady stream of fish aboard all day. He was so busy that when I asked for a picture and went to grab my phone he had another by the time a returned! Steve was top rod on the day with 40-50 bass easily. Closely followed by Barry (who kept count with 36), Steve hill and the rest of the lads. Even I managed to nick a few out between netting, unhooking and steering. With bass still showing inshore we will be heading offshore in search of them in to December this year weather permitting. Please get in touch if you want to join us. I also have spaces this week on general trips

    Keirans group may not have had the weather to get offshore for bass but thankfully there were plenty of fish to keep them busy inshore. The whiting and dogfish were there in droves but there were a few dabs, rays and I think even a small bass made an appearance. The inshore fishing should remain busy like this until after Christmas. Hopefully with the addition of a few more codling too. I have spaces this Wednesday and full boat availability over the next few weeks so please get in touch if you want to join us.

    Joe and the lads made the most of a weather window the other day and were rewarded with a great day offshore on the bass. It was very busy at times as expected with several of the lads on a fish a cast. The stamp wasn't huge but there were plenty for the table and great sport with the rest.
    The weather is looking good for Sunday and I have spaces offshore bass fishing.

    The inshore fishing is still steady with loads of fish on our sheltered marks meaning little reason to cancel. Of course there are still hoards of whiting and dogfish with a few dabs and pouting in between. There are a few rays, codling and surprisingly still bass to showing to put a bend in the rods. There must be plenty about as even the skipper can catch them (must work on my selfie skills)

    The lads from the Braintree sea anglers had a busy trip the other day. We were on an inshore trip so of course there were lots of dogfish and whiting to be caught. The day started well with 4 rays in the first hour along with double shots of dogfish, whiting and some dabs. We moved around throughout the day and found one or two more rays on each mark as well as a dear little codling for Chris to end the day.
    I have spaces aboard Galloper this weekend and into next week.
