Fishing Report by Scott Belbin
on Galloper (Brightlingsea, Essex)

Report on-board Galloper
Thought I’d put a report on here regarding a couple of good days we had on the spurdogs recently. My self and my anglers head off in search of the spurs every spring and are usually happy to see one or two fish mixed in with our usual species. Not many charter boats target spurs from essex and even less are regularly successful so we feel happy to see a few. The other week we were lucky enough to hit into one of the mythical spurdog packs two trips on the bounce. We picked up 47 on the first trip and over 80 on the second (which was absolute madness). That’s without the thorn-backs, dogfish and even a stray bass that turned up. For full report please see my website or facebook.
It is 10 years since I first had spurs off here and I we have caught more in these two trips than I have had on the boat in the last 10 years. Many of the lads who have been this weekend are regulars and fully understand how rare a trip like these two are. Most of the lads have been off here before and several have already been off here with me this year. We will try again for them but im sure it will still be as hit and miss as ever.
Please remember that with the offshore trips as with any trips it is no good waiting for somebody else to have a good day and then book up as the fish may be gone by the time you get out. always for for what your going to catch today. not what somebody else caught yesterday. Please book well in advance to get the best tides. View Boats Page

Report on-board High Flyer 2
Flat calm seas this Saturday 21st April made a lovely change ! Headed out as tide was perfect to 5 mile bank in the hope of few skate armed with fresh herring and various bits and pieces but wasnt to be. Caught first of the season small starry smoothound pictured here early for us on this coast so had to snap it despite its size! Wont be long before they make a showing in numbers. Moved about six time today, basically whitting everywhere we went with few nice keepers. caught about 30 spotty dogs all returned with half dozen reasonable flatties, in all not brilliant but ok for this time of year. no roker for us today unfortunately not up here this week hopefully soon as reports of twenty miles away been starting to get them. Big thanks to the Luton lads looking forward to next trip.

Report on-board High Flyer 2
Quick update on Sunday April 15th last trip. Was incredibly foggy down to 50ft visibility scuppered plans that we had in store. Ended up close to shore hiding up out of any traffic safe thing to do with constant AIS on which goes against the grain! Three vessels joined us so all fished close together in constant contact couldnt see them at all at times was a very damp day with everything soaked including me. First codling came in to Chris press ganged to have his picture took followed by few more small ones during the session. Few spotty dogs and whiting to add into the mix wasnt a brilliant day but in the big tides and rubbish weather was just nice to get out instead of going shopping! Big thanks to the lads for coming out were now looking forward to the first thornbacks arriving any day now, have all the frozen herring we need bagged up for next few months till mackerel arrive might try some night trips for them this year as they come in close to beaches at night will keep you all posted. Not looking to good for this weekend with easterlies forcast at moment i hope that changes soon. Until next trip tight lines people. Jon (High Flyer 2)

Report on-board Galloper
My apologies Its been a while since my last report on here again. the cold snap that hit us in the early part of the year had a negative affect on both the fishing and our bookings unfortunately. Thankfully the weather has sorted its self out now and so has the fishing so everything is back on track. As the water has warmed up the thorn-back rays have appeared in abundance as we have come to expect in recent years. The fish are now fairly wide spread so we can see good fishing in most weather conditions should we need to. There have been a few smooth-hounds and the odd bass mixed in too. This is a sure sign that summer is not too far away. the codling have been mid water feeding on the herring that moved in after the cold snap. This in turn has meant we have seen very few on rod and line. However the last weekend saw a few come out so hopefully we will see a showing of codling mixed in over the next week or so before they move off.
The ‘galloper’ is out of the water this week for a polish, antifoul and general jobs as well as her 5 year survey. She will be back in the water by Saturday with a fresh 60 mile code of practice on her.
I have plenty of space this coming weekend for individuals and group bookings so if you fancy making the most of the nice weather please contact me. In the mean time I try to keep my website up to date with reports, availability and lots more information or please call 07956411528 View Boats Page

Report on-board High Flyer 2
Bringing us up to date this last bank holiday weekend saw few small coddling and odd doggy turning up. Beginning of April can be a funny start we hopefully should have seen last of the frosts now things starting to warm up. The weather has been so unpredictable with snow and now heavy rain all weekend! The spotty dogs will move in now followed by the skate so now freezing down fresh herring injected with various oils for next few months bait. we havent bothered mentioning bass as unfortunately no point in going to the marks it does cause trouble with certain people not understanding that we cant keep them. No charter vessel makes the rules we just have to abide by them so no point in giving the skipper a hard time its not his fault. Good idea to look back through our years of photos here on this site and you can gauge the times different species turn up the only difference this year is we could get a spring coddling run and i hope we do but has avoided us for last few years so fingers crossed. Picture here of new A4 flyer we put in the shops etc if you would like one just email address willpost out to you state laminated if you so wish. Hope to see you soon on High Flyer 2 it can only get better!!!! Jon
