Report on-board Galloper
The general trips are still producing a good mix of fish at the moment. There have been some nice hounds around with some pregnant girls pushing double figures. The bass have improved in numbers in places with several keepers per day in places and some decent rays mixed in too. Of course those dogfish are still there in case you are worried about missing them. With temperatures set to rise and good weather forecast for the next few days things are looking good.

A few decent hounds around the real big ladies are yet to arrive. Plenty of good bass around and some thornbacks. Hopefully with the rising temperatures big shoals of bass will be arriving as well.
Worms producing most of the fish, the thornbacks seem to prefer squid and fishbaits. Tight lines everyone. View Boats Page

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
A lovely morning welcoming us yesterday for another run out in this year’s Spring competition.
A full boat of good mates and regular anglers sailing with us to have a go for a bigger fish or two hopefully.
The day started out well for us on the first wreck some 17 miles from the harbour.
A steady picking of Codling and small Ling for the lads giving them some nice sport for a few hours.
Nothing big though.
We moved on to a smaller piece of scrap a couple of miles East for just a handful of of fish. Not so good there really, so on we marched to another wreck known personally to me as Bobs wreck.
Named this way after my good friend Guy Wrightson’s Dad who used to fish with us years ago.
Guy sadly lost his Dad whilst out fishing with us. He got the call with the sad news.
His Dad gifted him with a beautiful Cod just over 17lb from the wreck that day.
He looked to the sky and winked ��
It didn’t produce much at all yesterday!!
We mooched back towards shore to finish the day off and managed another 10 or so fish.
Rob Moore from Selby taking our best fish on board (weight wise) A Ling of just over 7lbs which wasn’t a contender.
Young Fergus filleted away on our return journey to port and reckoned the average per angler was 7/8 fish so numbers wise, a steady 60+ fish boated. Plenty around the 4-5lb mark. Not too bad.
Thanks again to one and all for your support in what has been the worst start to any year I can remember in 40 years in the game.
The competition ends this Sunday so we will having another good go at it then.
Cheers for now
Rich.

Fishing Report by Steve Green
on Brigand (Brighton, East Sussex)
29 Apr 2024 by Steve Green
Report on-board Brigand
2 day fishing report for this week, both challenging days on the weather front!
Monday - we welcomed Clint and his fabulous crew from Essex aboard for a spot of wrecking. We have had some fantastic wrecking trips this year filling the boxes with high quality fish .... it wasn't like that on Monday! With a stiff Northerly looking like it was fading throughout the day we pushed out pretty far to a group of wrecks where we have had excellent fishing the last few trips ....and we struggled. Worked a number of wrecks before heading down the coast with just a few fish onboard. Clint & co. Toiled away and as the sea calmed we finally hit a wreck with a good head of fish and were in business.
A below par day on the fish front, a wonderful day on the crew front. Sorry you guys had to work away all day and that you didn't get the bounty that previous trips have had, hope you all got back safely and look forward to seeing you in the Summer.
Today - it was time to have a proper go at the Bream and we had just the people to do that! Again a challenging day for shallow water fishing with light gear with a stiffer than anticipated SW wind. Tough getting the anchor to hold with the bow bucking around on the flood but when it hooked up (12x scope out!) we settled down the guys were into good fish from the off..... what a relief! That remained the case for the whole of the tide but when the ebb kicked in it was always going to be a challenge holding the boat into the wind. Short drifting individual marks meant we continued to land fish right up until the end of the day with a respectable tally of 87.
Again, a fantastic crew today who never lost focus and fished extremely well in difficult conditions - well done all ����.
Long range forecast looks like we finally have a settled period heading our way - what a treat that will be after what feels like a relentless bashing!
Best wishes

Fishing Report by Mark Peters
on DAWN TIDE II (Wallasea Island, Essex)
May 2024 by Mark Peters
Report on-board DAWN TIDE II
There’s Plenty of bass around at the moment a decent stamp of fish & reasonable numbers aswell for April,
Worm baits & lures are most productive & both are a must if you want to target the bass. Its only going to get better as water temp rises with big shoals hitting the lures!
Hounds are creeping in more & more although we we’re catching them in February the real big girls are yet to arrive in proper numbers but im sure they will start showing in the shallows in coming weeks.
The Tope wont be far behind either & if the spurs are going to show it will be very soon aswell bedn a few rouge ones reported this week
To be honest il keep continuing to target bass until all the rest kicks off
Its nice & steady at the moment plenty for everyone.
Exciting fishing ahead!!

Fishing Report by Andy Savage
on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
1 May 2024 by Andy Savage
Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
Today we had good weather conditions (for a change), good sea conditions and a small neap tide; which were ideal for spending a day on the wrecks.
We ran North a few miles to try a couple of inshore wrecks. It was the first time I’d tried the area this year, as they seem to hold very few fish in the winter, due to the coloured water. First stop on the flood tide and after three drifts with only one Haddock to show for our efforts, we moved on.
As I set the drift on the second wreck, I noticed there were quite a few feed-marks around it so hoped for a better result. Thankfully that’s exactly what we got. We had a good couple of hours fishing taking a good few fish each drift, consisting of mainly Codling and Haddock, an odd strap Ling, plus the obligatory Pouting!!
Either baited Hokkai’s or muppet bait traces both using Squid did the majority of the bites as usual. Dave Sharp was crowned “King Pouting” when he had a “3-Up” on his Hokkai’s!! He redeemed himself by taking three fish in one drift on a Shad. Good angling Dave.
Ian Kellock led the way today, clumping a Codling a drift early on, on bait, then switched to a White Sandeel Shad and had a Codling hooked fair and square. We took half a dozen on the Shads today, which shows that the water has definitely got some clarity at last. Rich Guyatt also had a great morning, taking a fish or sometimes two each drift and put together a nice box of fish using mainly baited Hokkai’s. We fished another two wrecks until the Ebb tide came through. They both produced well, but whilst we had the quantity, we didn’t get much in the way of quality. Our biggest fish of the day being around 4lb.
The fishing on the afternoon Ebb wasn’t brilliant, but at least the sun came out to compensate! A big thanks to everyone for being great company and bringing me back some sanity after such a poor winter. Look forward to seeing you again soon View Boats Page
