we had the day off today and so stacey and i took out some friends of ours out with us for the day. stacey was at the helm and took us well off shore to one of our favourite big cod marks. on the ebb we only had a couple of cod and a roker aswell as a smoothound. as the tide started to flood we saw a few more cod coming aboard and by the end of the day we had 16 cod and 7 roker. there were loads of dogfish and whiting which kept us busy but i think they stop some of the cod getting to the bait. the cod averaged around 5-7lbs and the biggest was 11.6lbs caught by stacey.

fishing on the 19th of oct i had high hopes as the day before had been the best in ages so i settled on the previouse days mark wind had been forcast for the afternoon so it seemed that we might just see the flood before the weather started to return the fish started to come and as the day before as the tide came up the fish got bigger but so did the wind and swell by midday the swell was making fishing uncomfortable but we tried to percivere but a couple of nasty sets of waves made my mind up that enough was enough so we headed inshore once out of the esturary and back in the river we dropped the anchor and setteled in to a whiteing festival unfortunatly thats all we had the rest of the day fun was had by all .

Report on-board Razorbill 3
Well it,s about time that we started seeing a good run of COD and this last week we have been catching some good fish, The main size has been around 4 to 6lb with some good doubles landed over the weekend, We are still getting some good THORNBACKS up to 10lb with numbers of WHITING that we havent seen for a long time,
Now that the CODLING have moved inshore we will not lose too many trips to strong winds, The next few months will be the best time for COD fishing with the bigger fish moving in around December and the start of January.I would expect to see a lot of 15lb + fish, The fish in the picture is a 12 1/2lb COD caught on Sunday is that the start of the bigger ones?

Well after a short quiet period the past couple of weeks, the fishing is starting to get back on form. Today the lads took the option of quality not quantity and so we headed for one of our close range marks for bigger cod. The fishing wasn't fast but we were catching roker from the first cast and the cod soon followed coming steadily throughout the day. We were lucky having some great autumnal weather with a slight frost this morning and glorious sunshine throughout the day. The lads from Crouch Sea Anglers were very pleased with their catch totalling 18 cod averaging around 5-7lbs and the best around 9.8lbs. There were loads of whiting about and one of the lads even accidently had a cod on a whiting. We had 10 roker with the biggest about 6-7lbs, a load of dogfish and a nice bonus bass of about 3lbs. Not a bad day at all and I'm sure the fishing will only improve over the coming weeks and yes we do have some individual spaces as well as a couple of whole days still free. please see our website for weekly reports and any avialable dates.

we had some great weather for once and the lads had their pick of places to fish. we had some nice big tides and so went for a mixed bag of thornbacks and cod. its always nice to see some of the early fish and they are a nice size to, we only had a dousen today but they were all between 3lbs and 6lbs. we also had a dousen thornbacks to about 8lbs and loads of whiting and dogs. this is a grat sign for the coming weeks and months as the cod fishing will only get better.

Well with the strong winds that we have had it has not been easy to get to the marks that we would fish at this time of the year but it has made us work harder to find the fish for our customers, We are still getting some good Smothounds and Skate but the Codling are starting to show with more each trip and with Bass, dogs ,whiting and some good Dabs we have been getting some good mixed bags If you haven,t booked for the winter Cod season yet Start thinking now!After last years fantastic season this year looks like it will be as good with bigger fish, I have had reports that the fish are much bigger so don,t be dissapointed!!!

well it seems like the autumn fish are here now, apart from the wind making the conditions a little uncomfortable we found some at the weekend. we started the day in the deeper water trying to aviod the swell but when the tide changed we were able to get where we wanted and were soon into much better fishing. we finished the day with 32 thornbacks aswell as a load of bits and bobs. a few codling have started to show inshore now although we didnt have any some of the other boats that stayed closer in saw some to 5-6lbs and i reckon we will see a few more of these on this next set of big tides this weekend.
