'First trip out of Weymouth 2017 wrecking onboard Wild Frontier II with skipper Clem Carter and his crewman Reed. Criteria for the day was to trial some new lure designs in UV colours to see how they fish on the Pollock, I was also going to try out the new underwater cameras. Fishing was slow in the morning and it took off early afternoon after skipper Clem Carter moved us onto more productive wrecks and one that produced some nice ling and mine fell to a new pattern Fast Tail in UV red and yellow. Third wreck we found more Pollock plenty of them too and my results tested out the new small Maggot lures AND fish of the day a chunky double figure Pollock was taken on the new Maggot lure to MOI so a nice result for a new lure. Great bunch of guys to fish with and some of the guys were on day two of their weekend fishing break and they had a good result again. Plenty of fish for the freezers all expertly filleted by skipper Clem assisted by crewman Reed who also showed his new skills preparing the fish for us. If today is anything to go by for 2017 wrecking then it could be a really good fishing year to look forward to Oh and no the cameras didn't get tested so will have to book another trip as soon as to give them a go. Images from the day enjoy what we enjoyed.' View Boats Page

Report on-board Flamer IV
My first wreck trip of 2017 produced a variety of size Pollack along with a Bass and a real bonus a Coalfish. Certainly when the tide was at it's peak the best lures were Bubble Gum Pink Red Gills fished on long traces and flying collar rigs certainly did the trick. Pictured is Earl Coates with an 11Ib 3oz Pollack, he also caught several other Pollack and a 5Ib Bass.

Fishing Report by Scott Belbin
on Galloper (Brightlingsea, Essex)
Jan 2017 by Scott Belbin
Report on-board Galloper
Since my last report we have had some lovely days afloat. On all the trips we have done over the past month we have been lucky enough to be out on unseasonably flat calm days. However for one reason or another we have ended up fishing almost entirely within the confines of the blackwater estuary. Depending on the tide on any given day we have been splitting most days between targeting dabs or targeting thorn-back rays. Although they may not be the most exiting fish the dabs have done us proud and helped fill the void left by this seasons lack of cod in our area. there was a fair mix of sizes from postage stamps to some stonking door mats the biggest of which went 335mm long (sorry I didn’t bother weighing it). The thorn-backs have also varied in size but there were a few better ones mixed in with the biggest going 10.2lbs and our best day 12 along with lots of whiting and dabs. Earlier in December we had a fair surprise as Dave Harris (who is a regular aboard the ‘Galloper’) pulled a haddock over the side. I think he miss-took it for a slinky codling at first and I must admit I had to do a double take to make sure it wasn’t some kind of disfigured whiting. I have fished here all of my life having grown up on charter boats and have never seen one caught here before. I had heard of them coming out in the 70’s and early 80’s aboard my dads charter boats but this was a first aboard one of my boats and made a change from whiting!
Over the last few days things have been sounding a little more promising for those who have ventured beyond the estuary with a few more thorn-backs getting about so hopefully by the time I’m out again and the dabs move out we should have something sizable to target. The last few years have produced some of the biggest thorn-backs through out January and February locally so fingers crossed we can get amongst them. As for the mythical creature known as the thames estuary cod I’m not going to hold my breathe but I will say that there is a lot more chance of catching one if you wet a line than there is by sitting on the sofa.
