Report on-board Galloper
It was nice to get out the other day with a single person booking. Dave hired the boat for the day which was nice after a few weeks ashore. It was good timing for me too as it meant I could get a feel for how its fishing before the lockdown is eased. The weather was spot on so we started a fair way down and had thornbacks from the first cast! Between the rays whiting were thick and fast with a bite every cast. We moved around a bit as the day went on and found some areas showing more dogfish with the whiting and a couple of pouting too. Unfortunately we didn’t find any codling but I have heard of a few from the shore and private boats over the last few weeks. We were lucky enough to see several before this lockdown. Although I doubt there will be loads of cod about things were certainly looking better than the last couple of years and I am sure we will see some more over the next few weeks.
I have had a couple of spaces come up this weekend, 1 space on Saturday and 1 space on Sunday. Both at £80pp max 5 anglers. Please call me for more information.
I have more spaces around Christmas and into the next year although bookings are trickling in so don’t leave it too long.

Report on-board DAWN TIDE II
update
Plenty of thornbacks inshore Very busy at times on the herring baits boated 21 yesterday was Only 10 minutes from the marina,
As usual theres whiting, dogs and dabs ect still the odd bass too.
There are Bass still in good numbers way offshore But need to put in some miles for big numbers, there are codling showing in the usual places along with the Thornbacks Even had some small codling in the river last few trips so it worth getting out when you can.
Now That Air and water Temp has dropped it feels like the winter season has finally started I Will be looking to find some cod/codling through December

Report on-board Galloper
Once again I have left it too long since my last update on here. So far the autumn has been fairly kind to us on board the Galloper. We had a successful trip to the south coast and back in September when we took the boat to the isle of Wight for a week or so. Since our return the fishing has been what we expect from autumn nowadays. As the smooth-hounds and bass moved offshore we were joined by large amounts of whiting and dogfish inshore. There were large numbers of thorn-back rays at first although this have thinned out somewhat over recent weeks with a large influx of herrings locally. Thankfully there are still enough coming in between the whiting and dogfish to keep us interested. When the weather has allowed we have been offshore for bass right into November. At times we have fished in some gnarly autumn conditions but the fish have been there so we made the extra effort and it payed off. I must admit there were times I wouldn’t have been there if I wasn’t on a catamaran. Even in these conditions we had 60-70 chunky bass per day.
Closer to home the blackwater estuary has been on form for those really windy days when you still want to get fishing. whiting and dogfish are in plague proportions. Some of these are a decent size but if you fish through them there are still thorn-back to be caught as well as the odd bass or dare I say codling! Our last trip in the estuary was last weekend with some mad anglers who were undeterred by the strong winds and sideways rain we had in the afternoon. As well as the endless whiting and dogfish to keep them occupied the lads had a few rays and 3 codling from 35cm – 40 odd cm long which can only be a good sign. Lets hope we can get out again soon to try and find some more.

I would also like to add a short note of appreciation for the work that has been done this year by the PBA and Angling trust. I think we all owe them both a lot for the work they have done and continue to do both publicly and behind the scenes. Neither of them cost much to join and are worth every penny in my opinion. As a skipper I am grateful of the work the PBA have done. I would urge any skipper to join the PBA as their advice has been priceless throughout the pandemic (membership runs October- October). As and angler I am grateful of the work the angling trust have done. They got us fishing again as the last lockdown was eased. Thankfully they have secured angling throughout this lockdown which will make it fair less painfull. View Boats Page

Windy day yesterday managed to get out very weedy on the 4 mile mark only got few whiting no bass at all which we expected in last of the strong tides. Forced inshore usual whiting few decent ones among them usual spotty dogs of all sizes ended up with 9 thornbacks which saved the day most of them returned . Most enjoyable day despite the weather thanks for washing down guys made better job than i do. All the best.
