Another great day out with the boys from Canvey and surrounding areas with a good mornings sport on big Smoothounds, and the afternoon on big Thornbacks the boys were kept busy...
View Boats Page
40 hounds to 13.5 lbs and 31 skate to 12.5 lbs gave these boys a good work out.
We were so busy on the boat we didn't have time to make tea or coffee ... small price to pay for 5 star fishing.
See you guys on Thursday at the Islander fish restaurant on Canvey, where Phil & Bruno will perpair some of the finest Fish and chips you will ever taste ...
Tight lines guys.... great day..... Terry & Nicola -

Well now that the big Smoothounds and Bass have arrived, it been like long awaited rains that fall in the desert...finally life again..!!! well different from the Thornback Rays we have been thankfully catching for the last

6 months, and although anglers were quite understandably voicing that they are now getting a little tried of them and looking forward to something different ...... Well they are here..!!!! we have had over 60 hounds in two trips this week many many double figure fish, and we have had a few bass, not many as I was not fishing in an area know for Bass, but my good friend Lee Bolingbroke has had about 20 decent Bass up to 8 lbs, and apparently lost a Bass about 14 lbs right at the back of his boat...(tough luck mate).
We are having to travel quite a distance at the moment to get these fish, so hence we are giving our parties the choice, if they want to travel the distance we can do it in super quick time, but it cost a bit more in diesel so we are asking for extra money to run these trips, and everyone has jumped at the chance to catch something different , and have not been disappointed...!!
We do have a couple of days strangely, for this coming May bank holiday Sunday 29th and Bank holiday 30th,,, so if you fancy a trip please call ... 07768306646.
Don't forget we are really getting busy on the clay pigeon shooting last Saturday the party booking 300 Clays and Barry (the nurse) emerged as the champion..!! he was on fire, he hit 23 out of 25 clays, and after 16 clays he asked for the trap to start oscillating, and even then he didn't miss...!!!
Next time we will attach the vertical rise and fall arm and see how Barry copes with that,,,, But I am thinking he will smash it..(no pun intended)....
Ok I will leave it there for now ,,, So tight lines and hot guns..!!! -

We had another cracking day on the hard fighting Smoothounds today Tuesday (17th/5/16) .
View Boats Page
With the sun beating down on us and not another boat in sight, we set off to try to not only get big hounds, but Tope in the mix.
Well we got to the mark just at high water, so we got rigged for both species.... and after about 15 minutes the tide just started trickling out, and as the anchor rope tightened the first hound hit a rod, sending it into a frenzy and the first fish was on, this was a decent fish of around 7 lbs, then Paul Nichols responded with a real rod bending, reel screaming, take....well Paul is a seasoned angler, and he was his cool self, and just let the fish tire itself out, until she came to the net then it was game over... the fish was on the deck..!! after photos and weighing the fish it was released as was every fish boated today, great angler, great guys we always look forward to seeing Paul and the crew.
Sadly the two rods fishing for Tope, didn't get a single run... but hey ..!! that's fishing...
I will post a photo of Paul's 17 lbs fish......enjoy..

(Dough... I can her a Ron Angel moment coming) lol I know Ron as I wrote it I though.. Perfect Storm...lol
But seriously, I hope the Tope are there, it is a really good tide today so I reckon we have a fair chance... but this is called fishing...!!
My good friend Lee Bollingbrock had a good day yesterday he was on the Bass and although we know we cant keep them at the moment they are still great sport fish, as are the Smoothies so well done Lee,
Ok guy must get my backside into gear now as it's time to go... oh yeah... I nearly forgot my Tope net.... see it does pay to sit and write a line or two, it makes you think as you write.....
See you later guy, and from where ever your fishing from today have a great day and catch up later....tight Lines.....!!
