With some lovely weather it was nice to see a mixed bag including hounds, bass, a codling, thornback, whiting dogfish and dabs the other day. This time of year is usually pretty good for variety. Both the weather and the fishing should continue to improve over the coming weeks too. Even when the weather doesn't play ball we have some great sheltered marks that are producing good fish as well.

The smooth hounds are improving in numbers week by week now. We had some great fun on a breezy trip the other day. There were no giants but several 5-9lb fish as well as hoards of whiting, dogfish and a few rays. Andy was top rod with 13 hounds and 3 rays to himself which can't be sniffed at let alone on a windy day.
I have spaces this week and next so please get in touch to join us.

I thought I'd do a little reminder of last year's plaice fishing. We had a couple of sessions on them in late spring and early summer. The stamp wasn't huge but the numbers were there and probably the best I've seen for over 15 years. There were plenty of double shots of plaice and various other species mixed in too. We tried to combine it with some bass fishing at one end of the day or the other as well. If you want to join us for some of this fishing or on one of our general trips please get in touch with me and I can offer specific dates and tides.

It's been great to see a nice mix of fish coming out on our general trips despite the weather. There have been some nice hounds, bass and rays showing as well as the usual dogs, whiting and other bits and bobs. There's no shortage of bites to keep the rods going and thankfully we can still get out to our many sheltered marks in this weather. I have spaces over the weekend and into next week so please get in touch if you want to join us.

We have Been seeing Bass for a good few weeks but the numbers have really ramped up on the last few trips & just in time too!
I am going to start targeting them more now the season is open. Regulations state -
(1st April -31st December 2 bass per person, per 24hours, 42cm & over)
It wont be long until we start hitting them on the lures & Jigs a really effective & exciting way to fish for Bass.
But For now its all been happening on the worm baits a few bigger ones have come on the squid recently too.
please bring worm baits & lure kits if you have them & your due out its a must!
This Bass season is going to be an absolute cracker!!
The hounds are increasing in numbers & sizes steadly. Some days are better than others but that’s normal.
Soon they will be up in the shallows in huge packs providing manic sport!
The Rays seem very very low in numbers in our area its a real shame as they were taken for granted & made up the bulk of our catch during spring. Unfortunately for the moment the days of boating 100 plus rays in a trip seem to be a distant memory they are around but nothing like they used to be!
Spurdogs are being reported now too… if you fancy a trip chasing them let me know they aren’t too far away. There has been some caught locally so Who knows they might move in local again!!!
looking forward to the season ahead as always availability is tight now diary is busy but contact me on 07523 488290 & il do my best to get you on! www.dawntidecharterfishing.co.uk

Thankfully the fishing has been pretty good inshore on some of the windy days lately. The lads saw some decent rays amongst the whiting and dogfish along with some decent bass for the time of year and so close in. It's good to know that we can put you on some quality fish in most conditions now. There have been bass on most trips lately and as of today you can keep two per angler per day until the end of December (should you be lucky enough to catch them).
Spaces this week and next for individual and boat bookings. Please call me if you want a specific date.
