3 hour trip booked this afternoon with Stewart and his dad, Peter. Peter started us off with the first cod then shortly after Stewart had his first cod and then I caught one. Then all went quiet for a while before Stewart was off again with a couple more cod, Peter tried keeping up and bagged 1 more cod but his son kept ahead by catching another cod just before we headed in. We ended with 7 cod and a few whiting.

3 hour fishing trip with a lovely couple, Adam and Ellison. we started off with a few nice sized whiting and as the tide got up the fishing got well underway, I started them off with 2 cod, one of 2lb and another of 3lb then Ellison caught her first cod of 1lb 7 oz. By now Adam was under pressure to catch a cod, we tried his rod uptide and down tide but still no luck. Then I had my 3rd cod weighing 4lb 4oz and Ellison was in with another cod of 2lb. By now Adam was concerned for his reputation being beaten by ladies but was a good sport. He tried his hardest but Ellison ended with the last cod of the trip weighing in 5lb 7oz

Wednesday I had 6 squadies onboard who chose to fish the 4 hours down to low water. There was lots of mockery and jest onboard but not many fish caught, infact 1 whiting and lots of crabs was all that was caught that day. The following day I headed out with just 1 man onboard for the 3 hours up to high water and he caught 3 whiting and 3 dogfish. I thimk he may have been paying more attention to his rod and we were fishing a better part of the tide for those particular tides.

Today I had 4 adults out for a 3 hour trip and 4 year old Freddie came along for the ride. We fished down to low water and as the tide died we headed in as I had a pirate party booked for later on that day. We finished with 5 whiting, 2 around the 1lb mark and 3 little ones and Stu caught a bass just over a 1lb. A lovely family trip out.

Today I had 7 onboard, 3 adults and 4 children and we had 6 rods. We headed out and fished up to high water. It started off slow with a few bites and Tom was the first to catch, he had the Lady Graces' first ever Dogfish! One of the other men then had a whiting and then Matt decided to show them how to do it by catching the first skate. We quickly got his bait back in the water and weighed the skate, it was 5.2lb male and Matt decided he wanted to take that one home for his mum and dad. Almost straight away Matt was into his second skate weighing 5.11lb which was another male so he kept this one for his uncle Dean who had brought him to Mersea. Uncle Dean then caught a whiting and the gentleman opposite caught a dogfish then Matt eas into his third skate, this one weighed 5.4lb but was a female just giving birth so she went back to live another day. Shortly after Tom caught his first skate and had a helping hand by his dad Stewart , it was another female weighing 8.12lband soon after Dean had his first female skate too at 7.4lb. Then Matt was onto another fish, by now thry were all thinking of throwing him overboard, this time he had a 2.13lb cod. It then quietened down towards high water and we headed home just before the rain threw it down. We finished with 5 skate, 1 cod, 2 dogfish and 2 whiting. A nice mixture of fish for beginners to see and I am glad we didn't catch anymore as I was certainly kept busy enough with this group of children reeling in needing baiting up and casting out very frequently. All the female skate went back to live another day.
