    Report on-board Flamer IV

    OCTOBER REPORT - During October the fishing continued to be good despite the unsettled weather.The reefs produced bream,bull huss,congers,rays,cod etc.The banks were excelent for brill,turbot,and plaice.Lots of different species were caught with the Flamer IV species count now 55 for 2012.Also bass,pollack and cod were caught on the wrecks.Flamer Fish of the Month for October was a really hard one to choose with so many credible fish being caught ie 8Ib brill,6Ib 8oz plaice but I have awarded this months award to John Collings for his 26Ib blonde ray (pictured). As we move into the winter months the species caught will change and realistic target species will be Cod,Whiting,Rays,Pollack,Bass,Brill,Turbot,Bull Huss,Congers etc.Don't Miss Out.

    2012 - Don't Forget to book your trips/places. Lots of interesting trips are available for individuals and boat bookings.

    30/10/2011 With a strong S/Westly we head up to the E/Barnard to see if it would fish but we were beaten back with 2mt seas so we decided to run back into the gully off Kessingland this proved to be a good move as it was a lot calmer inside with no weed we were catching fish pretty much straight away only ytings today but with a nice bunch of people from soterly it was a good crack allday thanks for that,Brian/Paul.

  • 29/10/2011 Fishing Report by Scott Belbin on Lady Grace (Brightlingsea, Essex)

    Report on-board Lady Grace

    since launching the 'lady grace' ive been busy with the water taxi service and harbour trips but as the winter approaches i will be turning my attention to fishing trips and bird watching trips. we had our first fishing trip on saturday the 29th and with reasonable weather and a few cod starting to show it seemed we had picked the perfect day to start. we fished the top of the tide and had a 4 hour trip booked with a party of 5 aboard. some of the lads had a little experience but were shown up by hannah and katie who were on there first fishing trip and apart from keeping busy with whiting caught two nice codling around the 2lbs mark. they enjoyed it so much that the 4 hours was extended to 5 and they ended up with 42 whiting and 2 codling between the 5 of them although the girls showed the boys up! as these big tides back off the numbers of cod in the estuary should increase and there are some big fish about already as the first double of the season came out on the 'galloper' today and its not unheard of for these bigger fish to turn up in the estuary too! if you wish to book a trip aboard the 'lady grace' or the 'galloper' then please visit www.esexseafishing.co.uk where you can find our availability as well as a weekly fishing update.

  • 21/10/2011 Fishing Report by Robert Maxted on Duke IV (Ramsgate, Kent)

    Report on-board Duke IV

    Once again, Bob Marshall provided us with an interesting and enjoyable day's fishing. The thrill for me was catching herrings on feathers. I have always carried a couple of packs of herring lures in the rig wallet, but have never had much success on them, so it was a real bonus when Bob's eagle eye spotted a shoal of fish on his sounder as we headed south out of Ramsgate towards the Varne Bank. Bob was not quite certain what the shoal was ,but we dropped down mackeral feathers and in no time at all we were landing herrings and the odd mackeral.
    Once on the Varne we caught several species of fish, with turbot being outstanding bonus although it must also be noted that we caught some really big mackeral dragging bait over the bank. In total we had at least ten different species of fish, you certainly cannot complain about that for a day's fishing. Thanks Bob, looking forward to the 18th November.
    Best Wishes
    Robert Maxted

    The Cod have arrived! :-) The big set of tides that we have just had this week seem to have brought the fish in. Between 4 anglers on board today we had 16 Cod, biggest being 6.5lb to Roger -although we lost two bigger fish mid fight. Also had plenty of Whiting with the odd one to 1.5lb and a Thornback of 7lb along with plenty of our ever hungry Dogfish!

    If you're a small group of up to 5 anglers looking to get amongst the Cod, please give me a call.
