    Report on-board High Flyer 2

    Bringing us up to date we have seen a small influx of codling in recent week the downside now hit by 40mph plus easterly winds with everyone snowed in now! Hoping this cold snap will bring few more fish in on a normal year this month would be spring codling run follwed by the spotty dogs turning up mid to late March then April the start of skate when spring arrives. All we can do see what occurs the better times are just around the corner roll on the smoothounds! Website up to date for those wanting to plan any trips, this year we have been asked to do more tope specials so we will keep eye out for them mid june onwards rule of thumb. Lost out on night trips last year the wind just didnt play ball lets hope for a better season with the jet stream hopefully going the right way for once and all that cable work finished putting a spanner in the works i am looking forward to a better season. Hoping you can join us at some point. Next review soon as we get out until then tight lines everyone. Jon

  • 03/2018 Fishing Report by Scott Belbin on Galloper (Brightlingsea, Essex)

    Mar 2018 by Scott Belbin

    Report on-board Galloper

    Following on from my last report on here the fishing has been quite good to start off the year here at mersea. The weather has been pretty favourable until this week and we have managed to get most trips in. what we are hatching has varied quite a bit depending on the tides and where we can get to. As many others boats in the area have reported there have been far better numbers of codling than the last couple of seasons. Most trips are producing a few codling and thorn-back rays with 6-12 codling an average sort of trip. Our best trip so far this year has been 23 codling along with a few rays, pouting, a dogfish, a bass and lots of whiting up to 43cm! this cold snap seems to have slowed some of the fish up since then but I would expect it to improve as we approach the end of the season.
    The dogfish and thorn-backs don’t tend to like the cold weather much but when we do get a couple of weeks of warmer weather they will soon push into our shallow coastal waters which warm up first. With any luck we will still have codling mixed in too which along with the other bits and bobs makes for some nice spring sport.

  • 02/2018 Fishing Report by TERRY BATT on Vanishing Point-2 (Bradwell Marina, Essex)

    Feb 2018 by TERRY BATT

    Report on-board Vanishing Point-2

    well fishing continues to improve with some nice spring Cod showing on nearly all trips now up to 11-15 per trip on a good day along with the spring appearance of the Thornback Rays up to 13 lbs so although a bit cold out there as you may know on our vessel Vanishing Point-2 the huge wheelhouse is kept to around 68 degrees all day long as we never turn the heating system off while out at sea, so you can either sit outside in the cold.... or watch your rod from the comfort of your seat in the warm inside.....

    If you fancy a trip call me on : 07768 30 66 46 a few weekend dates still available (not many) but plenty of mid-week dates still available
