What a week of fishing.. Last Sunday saw us down at the Knock John tower doing a bit of hound bashing and my crew managed to loose the best hound any of us had ever seen.. To be fair I was netting a good bass at the time and the net could not be in two places at once.. believe it or not his hook snapped - the fish was a 25-30lb hound.. He is still crying about it..
Wednesday we tried again and caught in the region of 200 mackerel about 50 hounds up to 9lb and not a single bass and today Sunday 3rd July we hit the jackpot..
Started with a bass of around 7lb followed by dozens of hounds and the odd dog, more bass to 7lb were taken and then we spotted gulls working along a distant bank.. a variety of lures, baits and feathers resulted in well over 100 bass. View Boats Page

Report on-board She Likes It Rough 2
The End of June has seen some superb fishing off the Suffolk coast.
The ground fishing has been some of the best we have seen for years, The run of smoothounds has been fantastic, on most trips landing well over 25 fish per trip. The size of the hounds this past week has been good with at least 10 double figure fish landed each day if it didn’t look over 12lb we did not even bother weighing them! On the best day we had a 16lb 8oz, 17lb 8oz and a 25lb 8oz.
The bass fishing on the ground has improved our best day last Fri saw us land 7 Bass all between 4-6lb along with 20+_hounds 6 pack tope and 3 Roker to double figure not a bad day for just 5 anglers!
Sunday again saw us ground fishing with two fantastic fish landed for bill Hutchings party. Best fish of the day was a toss up between Bills Roker at 18lb 3oz a massive fish for this time of year, Or a 11lb 8oz bass caught by Steve on his first ever fishing trip!
Bills party on Sunday landed 24 Hounds 8 pack Tope, 1 Bass and 5 Roker all in just 6 hours fishing well done all
The last couple of trips have been offshore wrecking with good numbers of cod and Pollock landed our best day on the Pollock was 24 fish up to double figures who says there are no Pollock in the North sea! View Boats Page

The past week has been a busy one for us getting out every day bar one. Fishing has been good with the majority of the groups opting for a mixed days fishing: fishing for hounds and Roker for best part of the day and then a short spell hitting a wreck or two for some cod. The same as last year for us really on the wrecks, with our small uncharted wrecks coming up with the goods time and time again. Best we managed was 66 in only an hours fishing for 7 anglers.
We had Des out with us on Tuesday Offshore Bassing and Wrecking for his birthday trip. Between four anglers they landed bass to 8lb drifting with live baits and also had over 40 cod to 8lb on a wreck in just 45 minutes.
Glen’s groups on Thursday were unlucky with the weather, which did not allow us to push out to the wrecks, but they still had a good catch on the ground with plenty of Hounds and Roker
As the week went on and the tides fell away we turned our attention to more wrecking and ground fishing, landing Smoothound and Roker to over double figures every day
The hounds are still of a good size as quite a few are still in pup and returned alive for future sport. View Boats Page

Been so busy havent had a chance to update..
The fishing has been very good, however the weather has been unkind.
We managed a trip down the river on Friday with a fishing club group. They bagged around 40-50 hounds most around the 5-7lb mark best tipping the scales at 10.6 also 6 bass to 5lb and a few skate and loads of dogs.
Saturday proved a slower day, with plenty of dogs, no bass about 10-15 hounds and only 1 skate. The weather turned nasty later in the day and maybe the sudden drop in temperature effected the fishing. View Boats Page

Report on-board Amino
Having had to postpone most of last months trips due to the relentless winds, at long last the weather gave us a window...well for a day anyway!!!
Great day out with Cliff, Andy, Dave and Ernie. We had Common and Starry Smoothounds to 8lb+, Dogs, Whiting, Thornbacks to 8lb+ and the first Tope of the season, albeit a small one!
Story of the day was poor Ernie(pictured here in battle). Having hooked a huge Thornback that took 30 yards on its first run, Ernie played it for ten minutes and managed to get it within ten yards of the boat... only for it to head off again taking another 50 yards!!!....passing his rod to Cliff for a rest, Cliff promptly lost said Thornback....needless to say Cliff took a hammering for the rest of the day!!!
Well done chaps, great banter as usual thank you..hope to see you again soon! View Boats Page
