    Report on-board JFK TWO

    sunday 30th sept
    no doubt sept has been a windy old month more or less non stop strong westerly winds. which have definitely made it harder going.
    despite this we have managed some reasonable fishing. and stuart managed this nice ling of 16.5lbs
    and since the last northerly blow the water inside is dirty and the mackerel now thinner on the ground.

  • 10/2018 Fishing Report by Scott Belbin on Galloper (Brightlingsea, Essex)

    Oct 2018 by Scott Belbin

    Report on-board Galloper

    Looking back over a busy summer the weather was pretty kind to us and the fishing was good too aboard the ‘Galloper’. Now as autumn is upon us we see the fishing has changed. The thorn-back rays are showing in good numbers once again and the average stamp is picking up as we would expect it to. The whiting and dogfish have returned in vast numbers in places and keep the rod tips nodding between the better fish. the first few codling have shown on the last set of tides which is a great sign. One of our regulars Steve Canham was pleased to have caught the first one of the season aboard the Galloper hopefully this is a sign of things to come. There are still a few smooth-hounds and baby tope showing further off as well as the odd spurdog pup to keep us guessing.
    The ban on retaining bass has been lifted allowing recreational anglers to keep one per angler for day. This is a little too late for our summer anglers but I am trying to get an offshore bass trip together for a couple of weeks time before they move off. There are still several bass showing and some decent fish too. Another one of our regulars Andy Partner beat his personal best the other day with a fine fish of 10.4lbs.
    Although I don’t do lots of reports on here I keep my calendar and last minute spaces up to date. I also write weekly reports, available dates have far more information on my website and facebook page www.essexseafishing.co.uk or please call 07956411528 for more information.

  • 22/09/2018 Fishing Report by Scott Shepherd on Atlantic Blue (Minehead, Somerset)

    22 Sep 2018 by Scott Shepherd

    Report on-board Atlantic Blue

    With a one day break in the wind, we would manage to get out for a bit of fishing. The problem today would prove to be the rain as it rained all day and really dampened the spirits.

    Nonetheless, it would be a day filled with banter meeting a bunch of lads who haven't fished on the boat for a couple of years for the first time but who would prove to be a great bunch of lads. Fishing the local marks for rays, congers, huss and other species was the plan and one which went as well as could be hoped. The fishing wouldn't prove to be tearing, but it would be steady and the guy who wanted some dogfish to take home would be happy with 5 nice ones to take away!

    Despite the weather, we would manage some congers, huss, dogfish and a small, but welcome, Blonde Ray of around 8lb. Chatting in the pub afterwards, the lads all stated that they had enjoyed their day and that they are usually luckier with the weather so are keen to book up some trips for next year including, hopefully, a trip down to fish around Lundy.

    Thanks lads for a great day despite the weather and I look forward to seeing you all again soon!

  • 24/09/2018 Fishing Report by Scott Shepherd on Atlantic Blue (Minehead, Somerset)

    24 Sep 2018 by Scott Shepherd

    Report on-board Atlantic Blue

    Monday 24th September 2018 saw us heading out to try some marks further down channel than we had ventured before. We started off anchored up on a mark in between three of the other boats out of Minehead that day catching dogfish. With mostly fish baits and a few cocktail baits on board, we managed a couple of small Bull Huss in amongst the dogfish. As we lost the tide in close, we headed for the Ivy Stone for more Bull Huss and Dogfish. Having been pestered by small bites on larger baits, Roy Sparks switched to a flapper rig with smaller hooks and managed to land a 3-Bearded Rockling of 2lb 10oz for a new boat record, well done, Roy!

    As we lost the tide there, I decided to head for a mark that the late Arthur Talbot showed me a few years ago and from where we have had some big fish including Tope, Congers, Smoothound and Bull Huss. We got there right at the end of the ebb tide and we swinging around from the off. As the tide held us more or less straight, we started catching fish. We had a few small congers and dogfish before Pete Austin's rod would bend into something a bit better that he and I both hoped would be a Bull Huss. When the fish hit the surface, it wasn't just a Bull Huss, it was a big Bull Huss that tipped the scales, witnessed by another angler, at 16lb 4oz and would set a new boat record. What was even better for me was that my best mate had finally, after 33 years of trying, beaten his personal best Bull Huss and set himself a difficult, but not impossible, target to beat.

    A short while later, Roy Sparks would be in the action again, this time with a dogfish. As I can hear the sighs of disappointment, I would like to point out that this fish of 2lb 6oz sets a new boat record that took us to 3 new boat records for the day!

    We headed back up channel to try for some rays before heading for home but, alas, the rays would prove elusive and all we would manage would be a few more baby tope, dogfish, huss and congers. As I headed the boat for the harbour, we were all satisfied that it had been a brilliant day and that they all wanted to come again soon and try to beat some more personal bests and boat records.

    Pete remarked to me as we rounded the end of the harbour that he has done 4 trips with me this year and has landed specimen fish on every one. He's had 3 Small-Eyed Rays over 12lbs, a Bull Huss of 16lb 4oz and Smoothounds to around 14-15lb (all of which were returned to fight another day!). Proof that you can't keep a good angler down and that I can, on my days, find the fish!

  • 09/2018 Fishing Report by Matt Forrester on Silver Halo (Torquay, Devon)

    Sep 2018 by Matt Forrester

    Report on-board Silver Halo

    August was amazing with mostly loads of bass being caught. First timers have been catching some great fish up to 8lb 7oz.
    I ran 2 shark trips with a total of 10 blues being caught.
    I've had the first three weeks of September off and out of the water....so now I'm on a mission to continue with the great catches.
    There are loads of bass on the inshore marks and the Porgies are also heading closer in.
    Pollack should be arriving in numbers along with the swarms of spratts....there is loads of life out there with dolphins, porpoise and tuna being spotted.
    Please get in touch for that booking.
