Report on-board Gloria B11
The Coddling are now here in numbers, all about the 3-5lb stamp. The odd larger one appears now and again, but its nice to see fish being caught after a long winter. Further out the Roker are now showing, with most boats having double numbers and improving with each trip.
Any one thinking of having a charter trip should think about booking quickly as with fish being caught, dates are now starting to go.
Lets hope the fishing stays improving and we have not only a good spring run but all so a productive summer sports fishing. View Boats Page

Dougy, Julian and Steve on board today...good days fishing once we had moved to our second spot and the lads had cod to 5lb, Whiting to 1lb and Thornbacks to 7.5lb. the sun was out and the sea calm so added to make a great day out!
Some boats that ventured further offshore had some good cod to 17lb although these fish are not there in great numbers. There appear to be more smaller fish inshore and fewer, but better fish further off - so if you are considering booking a trip, this is worthwhile considering. View Boats Page

Report on-board Lead Us
A slight south westerly breeze and a perfect blue sky was the backdrop for an amazing days fishing for a land lubber used to drowing worms from the beach. We started fishing on the end of the flood tide and my companions started to get to some knocks and it wasn't long before the first fish of the day was caught. We fished all day, Colin supplied excellent tackle and quality bait. I can't thank Colin and Paul enough for making this a really excellent day out, the quality of our catch on the day was equally matched by the friends that I made and Lead Us is a sound vessel that sits well in the water.

Report on-board Galloper
scince december its been hard work fishing around the thames estuary. due to many factors including cold snaps,sprats and general lack of fish! but despite all of that we knew the fish would come back on the feed at some stage as the commercial lads were seeing good numbers of cod. over the last 4-6 weeks the fishing has been slowly building with the odd boat having a noteable day. however last weeks spring tides have seen the fishing improve a vast amount with good numbers of everything. saturday the 19th saw us steaming out on a flat calm day bathed in glorious golden sunshine. we had one of our regular groups aboard and as the lads are fairly laid back and enjoy the day as much as the fishing i planned on a mixed bag targetting thornbacks and cod. the first mark i stopped on was a mid-range mark with hopes for thornbacks and a few better sized cod. as tide got up we had plenty of bites producing lots of whiting and two thornbacks to 10.8lbs but i was hoping for more and we still hadnt seen any cod. i was keeping in contact with the other boats as usual and my father ( stuart on the razorbill 2) kept us up to date. the cod were on the feed in a different area a short steam away so we moved at high water and arrived in time for the ebb.
as the abb started to run we started picking up the codling, these can be frustating as they often bump off the hook but there were plenty there to keep the lads happy. we fished here from 12 untill 15.30 and managed 35 codling over all. about half a douzen were under sized and the lads threw back several sizable fish but still had 19 between 3 ans 5.5lbs to take home. not forgetting countless whiting and a couple of pouting. a good day was had by all.
there are lots of very small codling inshore wich is worth making a note of as these should provide us with a good run of fish over the next few seasons.
we saw our first double figure cod of the year last week so fingers crossed they will hang around like last year when they were still showing into may! not forgetting that there are also good numbers of thornbacks to be caught now too. for a weekly fishing update and available dates please visit www.essexseafishing.co.uk or phone scott on 07956411528 View Boats Page

Report on-board She Likes It Rough 2
Want to say a big thanks to Paul and Steve of She Likes It Rough 2 for a great trip last Sunday the 20th March.
We've been waiting for the Spring Cod run in East Anglia for weeks as the herring and Sprats have been causing havock.
Paul had recommended this weekend a couple of months ago and he was right - we went south from Shotley to fish off Frintonand had a great day with over 40 fish caught, 30 plus were keepers.
Three of our party were novices and Paul and Steve rose to the challenge with sympathy and expertise - and here's a pic of Dave the butcher with the first fish he's ever caught. View Boats Page
