    Report on-board DAWN TIDE II

    update
    Plenty of thornbacks inshore Very busy at times on the herring baits boated 21 yesterday was Only 10 minutes from the marina,
    As usual theres whiting, dogs and dabs ect still the odd bass too.
    There are Bass still in good numbers way offshore But need to put in some miles for big numbers, there are codling showing in the usual places along with the Thornbacks Even had some small codling in the river last few trips so it worth getting out when you can.
    Now That Air and water Temp has dropped it feels like the winter season has finally started I Will be looking to find some cod/codling through December

    Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3

    The latest set of COVID measures have changed my operation to only taking 1 angler , it seems strange to have so much room but if it sorts the problem then it is worth it. The weather has not been brilliant but we have managed a few days fishing for Whiting, Rays and Bass and have been successful but as usual with fishing something comes up you were not expecting and this year it is the late run of Mackeral being caught this week string fulls all the time more than I have seen all season a real bonus. Once the wind drops out the Whiting fishing will be coming into its best so if you fancy the boat to yourself please give me a call, full social distancing measures are in place and a scanning card is onboard for track n trace.

  • 11/2020 Fishing Report by Scott Belbin on Galloper (Brightlingsea, Essex)

    Nov 2020 by Scott Belbin

    Report on-board Galloper

    Once again I have left it too long since my last update on here. So far the autumn has been fairly kind to us on board the Galloper. We had a successful trip to the south coast and back in September when we took the boat to the isle of Wight for a week or so. Since our return the fishing has been what we expect from autumn nowadays. As the smooth-hounds and bass moved offshore we were joined by large amounts of whiting and dogfish inshore. There were large numbers of thorn-back rays at first although this have thinned out somewhat over recent weeks with a large influx of herrings locally. Thankfully there are still enough coming in between the whiting and dogfish to keep us interested. When the weather has allowed we have been offshore for bass right into November. At times we have fished in some gnarly autumn conditions but the fish have been there so we made the extra effort and it payed off. I must admit there were times I wouldn’t have been there if I wasn’t on a catamaran. Even in these conditions we had 60-70 chunky bass per day.
    Closer to home the blackwater estuary has been on form for those really windy days when you still want to get fishing. whiting and dogfish are in plague proportions. Some of these are a decent size but if you fish through them there are still thorn-back to be caught as well as the odd bass or dare I say codling! Our last trip in the estuary was last weekend with some mad anglers who were undeterred by the strong winds and sideways rain we had in the afternoon. As well as the endless whiting and dogfish to keep them occupied the lads had a few rays and 3 codling from 35cm – 40 odd cm long which can only be a good sign. Lets hope we can get out again soon to try and find some more.
    As ever I continue to post weekly updates and available dates on my website

    or my facebook page or give me a call on 07956411528
    I would also like to add a short note of appreciation for the work that has been done this year by the PBA and Angling trust. I think we all owe them both a lot for the work they have done and continue to do both publicly and behind the scenes. Neither of them cost much to join and are worth every penny in my opinion. As a skipper I am grateful of the work the PBA have done. I would urge any skipper to join the PBA as their advice has been priceless throughout the pandemic (membership runs October- October). As and angler I am grateful of the work the angling trust have done. They got us fishing again as the last lockdown was eased. Thankfully they have secured angling throughout this lockdown which will make it fair less painfull.
