Fishing Report by Steve Green
on Brigand (Brighton, East Sussex)

Report on-board Brigand
A little bumpy out there later in day but a beautiful morning and we only cut the trip short by a couple of hours - we will make that up to the crew (who were excellent) on the next offshore trip with us.
A decent inshore day for April with around 50 Plaice and a bonus Turbot so well worth the effort.
Had a similar day Saturday with Plaice up to the 2lb mark and unlimited humour for Trev, Rod, Steve & Peter - albeit a little more relaxing in a F3 opposed to a F5!
Plenty of time to hit the wrecks and we are now gearing up for serious Turbot trips so check out the calendar or if you have any special requests drop me a line - 07572065543.
Best wishes

on Brigand (Brighton, East Sussex)

Report on-board Brigand
Put in a long shift today and had a really sprited crew aboard. Great watching anglers catch their first Pollock and equally great watching experienced anglers land a cracker like Mark did today. I was on feathering duty for a while and very satisfying to have stumbled across a shoal or two - mackerel out of Brighton? Give me a call - 07572965543.
Best wishes

Fishing Report by Bob Marshall
on Duke IV (Ramsgate, Kent)
14 Apr 2017 by Bob Marshall
Report on-board Duke IV
The Skate are still here in numbers and we are catching up to 20 a day on Herring or Squid bait. Also Smoothounds and Bass although the Hounds are on the small side with the occasional better fish being landed. Peeler crab is now available, it's early this year so won't last much longer but is a top bait for the Smoothounds. Chris bought the family out today catching plenty of male Skate, so good for eating.
Still some weekend dates available so get in touch and book a fishing trip aboard Duke IV to make the most of this fishing bonanza.View Boats Page
