Locked out of the marina and headed to a mark. Began to fish with plenty of whiting and dabs being boated throughout the day. "H" boated a nice 4lbr, aswell as Trevor landing one. Dave hooked into and landed a lovely 4lb 6oz cod. We ended up with 7 Cod to 4lb 6oz. Good day had by all with Dave taking the pool again with the heaviest cod.

Report on-board Ocean Warrior 3
The weather has not been great lately but we have managed to get some fishing in. When we have got out, there have been some nice double figured Pollack around on the offshore wrecks. There have also been a few Cod starting to show, which is great to see. The bigger Cod should be starting to show more as we progress into February and through to the beginning of March.
This is Simon from Essex with his good sized double figured Pollack, caught while 'gilling' over a wreck using a sidewinder lure.
Here is hoping for some fair fishing weather to get some good catches. If you fancy a day out wreck fishing give Dave a call on 07966 377145. View Boats Page

Report on-board Emma Louise
Today we set out to try our luck on a few offshore wrecks, despite the freezing temperatures. We caught the 7.30 lock this morning and after a couple of hours steaming we arrived at our first wreck, which happened to be a sub and caught one or two pollack. As the tide was a bit slack, we decided to move approximately 7 miles west taking in a couple more wrecks on the way, which also produced one or two more fish. In my opinion, all in all an eventful day, with the biggest pollack being over 13lb with some nice gurnard and only one bass, but at least I have found a few more new wrecks that produce!

Fishing Report by Scott Belbin
on Galloper (Brightlingsea, Essex)

Report on-board Galloper
I thought I’d best do a write up for CBUK as its been a while since my last one. 2013 has started well for us at mersea with good numbers of cod, thornback rays and even the odd bass showing on some boats! The winter season started well then faltered a little around the end of November/start of December. For one reason or another the fishing was patchy for a few weeks with with the odd good day here and there and a few decent fish around. Thankfully just before Christmas the fishing improved although the poor weather over Christmas stopped us getting out after them. The weather was a far better by the time our first trip of the year came.
On the 5th we headed out on a murky but calm day with a double booking between my boat and my fathers boat the ‘razorbill’. There were five lads on each boat so loads of room as we started fishing. The first fish to show were the whiting with bites and fish from the first cast. Still on the first cast and mike nearly lost his rod as a decent fish made off down tide. It was soon clear he was into a decent thornback although it didn’t make it to the boat as his knot came undone! The fish was lost and mike was left to ponder what might have been. It wasn’t long before we had our first decent fish aboard though and by low water we had managed 11 rays and 10 cod. We kept catching over slack water and the tide turned fairly quickly anyway. As the flood started to run the rays thinned out a bit but the numbers of cod increased to keep us busy. As high approached and the tide backed off we called it a day. The lads had been busy with a good run of fish all day, they totalled 43 cod around 2-4.8lbs. there were good numbers of rays too with 17 with the two biggest falling to rocko at 10.12lbs and 12.7lbs. with plenty of whiting and several dogfish to keep the bites coming too.
The next day I had 7 individuals aboard for an offshore trip. The weather was perfect as we had an early start to work the tides. There was little or no sea and as daybreak came and the sun rose into a clear sky. It took us a while to punch all the way out but we arrived with the ebb in full flow. About half an hour after we arrived the fog caught us up unfortunately and what promised to be a nice day turned to 100yrds visibility. This was nothing but a small inconvenience though and after the obligatory dogfish to start us off Liam had the first thornback of the day. This was followed soon after by a couple more rays none of any size though. As low approached we managed a couple more better sized rays amongst the steady flow of dogfish gracing the gunwale. As the flood trickled through Chris hooked into the first cod of the day with the tell-tale thumping on the rod tip all the way up. Nothing massive around the 7lbs mark but a nice start to the cod. As the flood got under way no more cod just the odd ray mixed in with the dogs. Until Pat hooked into what was clearly a decent cod. It was different right from the bite and was soon banging it head in a typical cod fashion before bumping off the hook also in typical cod fashion. It was clearly a decent fish putting quite an impressive bend in his rod although we’ll never know unfortunately. As the day went on we had a couple more rays. No more cod and more surprisingly no whiting? We finished with 16 thornbacks 1 cod and endless amounts of dogfish.
This weekend gone we had to cancel Saturday with strong easterly’s but thankfully Sunday saw a decrease in the wind. We headed out with just 4 aboard after a couple of no show’s no doubt scared off by yesterday’s weather and disappearing off the face of the earth. We didn’t have to go far to our mark so had plenty of time fishing. We arrived on the start of the flood and had steady fishing throughout the day. The whiting were numerous but not in too numerous and just two dogfish all day. The codling came steadily now and then throughout the day to leave us with 15 overall and four happy anglers.

Wednesday 9th January 2013 - Individs -
We locked out of the marina in glorious sunshine, but we could see the fog bank in the distance heading our way. We anchored up and began to fish. As with the previous couple of trips whiting and dabs were not to be the first fish of the day but a lovely 6 lb 4oz Thornback Ray. Plenty of whiting and dabs were boated but not in the quantities of yesterday. Some lovely Cod were brought in throughout the day. "H" and Fossil had decided to stay and double a double header from yesterdays trip, so with "H" already landed the Thornback, he decided to add a 7lb Cod to the list. Fossil not to be outdone by "H" had 2 cod in quick succession which is something of a rarity when he is fishing with us. As the day drew to a close Daz who had stuck a rod out boated a 6lb 4oz Cod, and Paul had a 5lbr. The total for the day was 8 Cod, 1 Thornback and plenty of Dabs and whiting.

Tuesday 8th January 2013 - Worm Danglers/Individs
Todays trip was originally meant to be the worm danglers but with a few of the guys missing we added some individuals.
Fishing from the start was good, again plenty of Dabs and whiting until one of the guys pulled in the first cod of the day. As there was a pool at stake the everybody fished hard all day, Over slack there were the usual Dabs and whiting in great numbers. Throughout the whole day Cod were pulled in. "H" managed to pull in a Cod of 6lb 14oz, Tommy who seemed to be on fire all day was casually re baiting his rigs whilst watching The polar bears on bbc iplayer, everytime he sat down somebody shouted to him that his rod was banging away and another fish would come to the surface then back to baiting up watching the polar bears. As the day went on more Cod where boated. The total for the day was 16 Cod with the best of 6lb 14oz.
A good day was had by all
