  • 12/11/2011 Fishing Report by Peter Everett on Amino (Shotley, Suffolk)

    Report on-board Amino

    Cracking day today with Dave, Mick and Mitch on their 5th trip onboard Amino.

    Despite a slow start in the first couple of hours with only a few small Codling and some nice Whiting to 1lb+, things picked up and more fish started to arrive.

    Then Mick had a small bite just after slack water and bent into a good fish-resulting in a cracking 13lb Cod, the first double of the season on Amino and a personal best for Mick!

    The chaps ended up with 22 Codling (mainly in the 2-3lb bracket) and plenty of Whiting. Well fished chaps! Cheers! :-)

    Report on-board Amino

    Having had 3 previous trips, Cliff, Dave, Ernie and Andrew came out on their free inshore trip today and managed to get amongst a few fish. The weather was kind and not quite as forecast although the recent stir has kicked up a lot of weed that made fishing difficult at times.

    Despite the weed the chaps ended up with 18 Codling (15 keepers mainly in the 3lb bracket), a few Whiting to 1lb and a fair amount of the dreaded Woofers to boot.

    Report on-board Lady Grace

    i had another trip booked today. this time there were three experienced anglers and i managed to get a rod out myself. we were on a 12-4pm trip again and we left just before low water with a view to fishing the first few hours of the flood. unfortunatly it took a while before the tide got going although we were kept busy with whiting from the start. there are no shortage of whiting about this year and i even managed to hook two on one hook earlyer! as the tide got under way i had the first codling although this turned out to be the only codling of the day as it wasnt long before we had to go home. the lads were all happy and there had been plenty of banter aboard as russel (who's a regular aboard the 'galloper' with scott) kept us laughing all of the time. ive got plenty of weekend dates between now and christmass so if you fancy a trip then get in touch. please visit www.essexseafishing.co.uk for more information.

  • 05/11/2011 Fishing Report by Paul Fitch on She Likes It Rough 2 (Shotley, Suffolk)

    Report on-board She Likes It Rough 2

    Thanks to a gap in the weather Saturday it gave us a chance to get out once again. With very few Cod showing of any decent size we decided to target the Roker which are still around in good numbers. Dean’s group landed 18 with a majority of the fish weighing between 5lb and 8lb. The rest of the catch was made up of Whiting and far too many poxy Spotty Dogs.
    The tides are starting to build now and hopefully the Cod will arrive in good numbers on them. We are desperate for colder weather to lose the summer species that are still being caught and hopefully return to normality

    Report on-board PLAN B

    i came over to fish a fishing for fun meet upon rays new boat "the merlin"..fishing with lee johnson,and the fff crew was an experience,and Ray was an absulute gentleman,coming from Ireland,i had no gear.Ray set me up with quality rods and reels,already rigged up,with all baits supplied by the skipper at no extra cost,and there was MOUNTAINS of bait,as soon as we were out over the mark,tea and bacon butties came thick and fast,as did the whiting and rokers to our rods.Being Irish,i had not uptided before,Ray could not have been more helpful showing me the tequniques of uptiding and being very patient with me.The merlin is a very comfortable boat to fish,with loads of room for eight anglers,and Ray and his crew worked hard all day to get us onto the fish,I had a most enjoyable day and intend to bring an irish crew over next year to fish this venue with Ray again.

    Report on-board Cleveland Princess

    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.

    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.
