Report on-board Galloper
September has come and gone very quickly for me. This may have been aided by a short break away but mostly as I was busy as ever. We started off with roker making up the majority of our catches. These varied from little maids (as is common this time of year) up to double figures. As well as these we had several smooth-hounds and the odd bass mixed in. we also saw several codling showing which is no surprise given the smattering of them we have seen throughout the summer. As the month went on the numbers smooth-hounds and bass decreased quickly which signals the end of summer for us. Luckily the weather is still very much like summer at the moment and despite this the numbers of cod have been picking up nicely. the stamp of fish is great at the moment with many fish in the 3-7lbs range and this is likely to increase as the season goes on. Fish are still pretty spread out but if you are lucky enough to get on them 10-20 a day is common. This makes for some good fishing along with the roker and hordes of whiting and dogfish that are about. Its likely that as these monster tides back off we will see some better numbers of cod and these will build over the coming month and as we get further into the season. As you will gather from most of the reports we expect to see some decent fish this year so watch this space.

Hi guys n gals.... well the wind continues to blow hard from the East making conditions very hard for our anglers.
But the die hard angler, not to be deterred still wanted to go out and have a go... ( Bless em) and to be fair they all fished hard and turned in a few Codling around 5 lbs and some Thornback rays Whiting and doggies so not a total disaster..!!!
Hoping for calmer weather for the weekend and see if we cant get some decent Cod over the gunnals...!!
Tight lines.... View Boats Page

Well first charter out the way today, big tides, 21 mph Easterly it was not our finest hour I am sad to report....We had a few Ray's this morning, Doggies by the bucket, and some Whiting, but sadly we didn't see any Codling, we tried hard but it sounded like most boats struggled and it wasn't just us, but still a hard pill to swallow when we normally do so well, but I think I should report bad days as well as the good ones, fortunately we don't have to many bad days..... sorry guys I did my best but cant control the weather...!! Tight lines..!!!!

Well, back from holiday now, and looking forward to our charter tomorrow, with such big spring tides that should flush some more Cod in, we were already getting around a dozen per trip before we went on holiday, so we should find a few more out there...??? let you know in a day or two..!!
We have a Bass trip on Monday, so with the big tides we have up until Tuesday we may get lucky with some of the larger fish that swim in our waters before leaving at this time of year, but it's not been the best year for big Bass I have to say, but you have to be in it to win it so to say..!!!
Well as nice as the holiday was, it's also nice to be back to start fishing once again, I have just been down to the boat to check all is well there, and rig all the rods ready for tomorrow...."I think I get as excited as the party"
but all is well and ready for the off in the morning, so until then.........
Tight Lines...!!!! View Boats Page

Bringing us up to date Sunday 20th Sep weather lately been settled , tides fallen away , we got mixed bag really with few smoothounds still about and small spotty dogs but plagued with winter whiting already few keepers among them but mostly small. Nice to see few thornbacks turning up at last as they been hoildaying further south this season and also codling turning up pleasant surprise being so close to shore. Still going to head out this coming weekend if weather allows should be some big mackerel about and few tope following them so we shall see what happens forcast is supposed to be good but what thats worth hell knows! Picture here of Dereks trip with lads from Crayford and Abbs car people with few codling and doggies from the day.
Nice to see skate thrown back and those pouting and whiting well done for bit of conservation men. So looking forward to our next trip where hopefully should be a cod day and bit colder! As for rest of us will see what next few weeks brings hopefully get few more summer species before we batten down the hatches for winter hopefully you can join us on High Flyer soon. Dont forget those weekend dates are slowly filling up so do get in to avoid disappointment. Until then, tight lines everyone. Jon (High Flyer) View Boats Page

Looks like the drop in temperature has started bringing in the winter species.
Loads of whiting are stripping fish baits meant for skate and huge numbers of dogfish have moved up river.
The better set of tides this weekend should give us a chance to look farther afield , fingers crossed the weather is kind. View Boats Page

Just to bring us up to date have had a rough deal lately with the weather strong south easts cancelled few trips no choice, all fishing has been inshore apart from one day when we managed to bash a few mackerel on the banks. At the moment plenty of whiting stripping our baits the bigger ones as keepers normally turn up end of this month as nights draw in. The spotty dogs still about all sizes even 6 inch specimens being hooked unbelievable! The smoothounds slowing up compared to last month but thats expected as the water temperature slowly drops still few being caught as you can see on catch photos. Having a little run of skate at the mo about time they showed up been bit slow for us this year as they seemed to hang about further south this year very welcome addition to this month. Started catching few early codling all in prime condition not really expecting any numbers till the first frosts usually but such a topsy turvey season this year anything could happen. Losing clarity now offshore ,winter round the corner soon be icey decks and smell of hot soup onboard and cod being the main quarry and people moaning about whiting and talk of christmas! Taking bookings for our cod season so as weekends go first please think ahead as every year i have dissapointed customers who cant get out as they ring week before they want to go and obviously were full. So looking forward to our winter season as had brilliant codling catches last year best for a long while hopefully those returned fish put on few more pounds heading straight for Corton as we speak! Thank you to all who have come out on High Flyer just lately especially with the way the weather has been its very much appreciated. Until next trip tight lines everyone.
