  • 07/07/2019 Fishing Report by Bob Marshall on Duke IV (Ramsgate, Kent)

    7 Jul 2019 by Bob Marshall

    Report on-board Duke IV

    The fishing off Ramsgate just keeps getting better. The Smoothound fishing is superb with many into double figures. Bass numbers are also increasing with worm taking the most. Skate are still around although the numbers are decreasing. Always the chance of good Mackerel fishing on feathers or hokkies. Plenty of weekdays available for individuals or groups. Give me a call and come along and enjoy the fishing.

  • 07/2019 Fishing Report by Scott Belbin on Galloper (Brightlingsea, Essex)

    Jul 2019 by Scott Belbin

    Report on-board Galloper

    Yet again I have neglected to put a report on here for a while so I thought it was time for a quick update on the fishing here in the blackwater. So far the summer has been kind to us here at mersea island. Although the weather may not have been as settled as last year we have still had loads of nice days and lost very few trips. The smooth-hounds have been in good numbers and size so far this year. Most trips are seeing plenty of hounds with the odd double figure fish thrown in. some trips have seen good numbers of doubles and the biggest that has made it onto the boat so far was 15.10lbs although several others have been close behind and with the numbers of decent fish around there’s plenty of time for the first 20lber to come out.
    The bass fishing has been great so far this year, there have been great numbers coming out at times on our general inshore trips with most falling to worm baits or when conditions suit we have been catching several at a time on feathers. We might have a go for them offshore soon and will offer offshore trips for bass until the end of October.
    The thorn-backs have thinned out a little now and moved further offshore. We should still see one or two on our general trips and numbers offshore at times but we should see them return in numbers in the late summer early autumn.
    There have been a few tope around again this year, they showed early (probably due to the early spring we had) and our first trips saw good numbers of mackerel too. unfortunately the unsettle weather seems to have dispersed the mackerel inshore so we had to source bait from else where on our last trips. We should get another trip or two in before they move off.
    We have also seen a few other bits and bobs mixed in such as the odd stingray or gurnard to brighten up our trips. Altogether it seems to be shaping up to be a good summer here in the blackwater.
    I have a few dates left over the summer and I am taking bookings for the autumn too. hopefully we will see the summer weather continue long into the autumn and allow us to get offshore and target the bass.
    I keep my availability up to date on here along with regular reports on my facebook page and website. For more information please visit www.essexseafishing.co.uk find us on facebook under essex sea fishing, subscribe to our youtube channel or call on 07956411528
