What A trip! non stop banter all day.
we left the marina at 9.30 am to head out in search of Cod. We headed out over the Bar and after sailing for 30 mins Ian(Captain Ahab) decided to make an offer to Neptune for a safe passage which was last nights curry, I turned round to ask if he was ok to see three or four phones filming him, i thought how cruel. The lads settled down for a while with Ian rushing to the side of the boat again, to give some more offerings to neptune. He later explained he was ok until the lads let him watch himself making the first offering on video. Any way back to the fishing. We tried a couple of marks which produced Pollack to 9lb and Cod to 6lb, Coalfish to 5.5lb pouting and mackerel.
A great day had by all.
We cant stop ourselves laughing with some of the jokes they were playing on each other.

Report on-board Galloper
i thought i'd put in a quick update on how the summers going from west mersea so far. to be honest the tope fishing throughout june and july was near enough non-existant but i few fish showed to remind us what great sport fish they are.however the bass fishing this year has more than made up for it. After a good start in the spring we have seen good numbers of bass on many days this summer. our general fishing has been better than last summer with good numbers of thornbacks in places and some numbers of bigger smoothounds starting to show over the past few weeks. as with the rest of the country we have suffered from the poor weather this summer. although we can often find shelter, it often means we cant get off to where the fish are on that day. with a break in the weather last weekend we managed to get a days bass fishing in offshore.despite conditions not being perfect it was a pleasure to be out as the last couple of offshore trips had to be changed to inshore trips due to the wind. as usual we fished the last of the ebb with three bass around the 2-3lbs mark to show for our efforts before the tide died. we then re-psitioned the boat ready for the flood. there was a fair breeze blowing which held us off the bank for the first 45minutes but once the tide got up we were on the mark and saw our first couple of bass for the flood. we fished here untill about 12.30 when after a busy hour we had totalled 18 bass to with most in the 2-4lbs range and a couple of undersized fish. the fishing slowed so we moved to our next mark which was 6-7 miles closer to home. here we anchored with the hope of a mixed bag including some bigger bass and we werent disapionted. the first fish was another bass which was just under size and it wasnt long before we had our first thornback of the day. we fished here for another couple of hours before we had to head for home. by the time we had finished we had a nice mixed bag to add to the 18 bass, dogfish and weaver fish we had caught in the morning. the lads had managed 10 thornbacks with a couple pushing doubles, 12 more bass around the same stamp as earlyer. we had a smooth-hound about 5lbs and a sole and of course several dogfish too. we also managed 2 codling shortly before we left which was good to see. several other boats have caught some too over the last week. thats a great sign for the coming cod season! after last years poor show it seems that those little ones we were catching in the spring are returning with a bit of added wieght.
over the next month or so we should see good numbers of smooth-hounds, bass should be good especially if we can get offshore for another crack at them the thornbacks will start to move back inshore in a few weeks time and sometime in september we should see the first run of codling. keep an eye on the 'last minute bookings' as we get the odd drop out although we are fully booked untill october at the minute. for more information,available dates and a weekly fishing update please visit www.essexseafishing.co.uk or phone 07956411528 View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Peter Everett
on Amino (Shotley, Suffolk)
Jul 2011 by Peter Everett
Report on-board Amino
Fishing over the last month has been pretty reasonable when the weather has let us get out!!! Smoothounds and Thornbacks have provided the main sport along with Tope, Dogfish and even a few Codling and Whiting but its really been a month of 'the ones that got away' with several big fish being lost at the boat or during the fight. :-(
There are still dates available if you would like to try some summer sport fishing, however these species will thin out over the coming month and we will await the arrival of the Cod and Whiting for the Winter. With Codling and Whiting already being caught, it could suggest we'll have a better year than last year.... :-)
I am taking bookings for Winter Cod fishing already so if you are a small group of people and would like a boat to yourselves for the day, give me a call.
Slack ropes and all that.... View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Roger Lennon
on Skerry Belle (Ramsgate, Kent)
Aug 2011 by Roger Lennon
Report on-board Skerry Belle
After taking over this boat in March the weather has stopped us getting out as much as I'd like so I haven't been posting, but as you can see now we've been able to get out onto the Bass grounds at long last. It has been hectic fishing with several specimens over 10lb with our best so far at 12lb 2oz. The Mackerel are showing everywhere, the hounds have styed with us and there are still some large skate showing on most trips. I think that the summer has arrived at last and this fishing will continue right throuh into October when hopefully the cod will arrive in numbers. All these fish were caught within 40 minutes of Ramsgate harbour which proves you don't have to steam miles and waste valuable fishing time to get really decent fish!!
Some dates are still available for day bookings and I'm still running my 4 hour evening trips which is plenty of time to catch yourself a decent specimen!! View Boats Page
