Report on-board Razorbill 3
Had another good day with stuart again as always. we left mersea at about 7:00 am, we steamed out for about an hour, it was a beautiful day and the sea was flat carm. As soon as we had started fishing there wear fishing coming aboard, and the fishing was good for the rest for the day as the tide was running. then high water came and the fishing easied up. So stuart had desided to have a move to a spot a bit closer to home. we started fishing as the tide was ebbing, and had one more small cod and i missed a CRACKING bite. then we had a slow ride home. in the end we had 32 cod up to 5lb and we had some good whiting to about 1.5lb. we had the most fish out of all the boats fishing in the area all thanks to stuart.
thanks for the good a mate. View Boats Page

Report on-board Gloria B11
As I don’t update this site on a regular basis, I thought I would let you guys know the catch report has been very good. Most trips have been producing large numbers of codling and skate, but in the last couple of weeks or so the skate have disappeared.
I will not lie to you fellers but this is the normal size of fish, every now and again we get a fish double figured. We do look forward to march when the skate return and hopefully we will then get a mixture of cod and skate again.

Had a good day out fishing with stuart today, i got on the boat about 6:45 but we had to what for a couple of lads because they were running a bit late. As soon as they got on the boat we steamed out for about an hour and and was a the marker in no time, we where fishing at the bottom of a band, we arrived at the mark just as the tide started to run, so where had a good few hours fishing on the tide. we didn't have to what long for the first couple of bites and after that we where having fish all day long. in the end we ended up with 30 codling all about 3/4 lb and couple closer the 5lb and we had about 10 whiting. thanks for the good day stuart.

Report on-board PLAN B
Codling are back in reasonable numbers along with a few thornback rays on the banks.
The shoals of seasonal sprat are moving off so fishing should improve from now on. If you are thinking of taking a trip then from now on should be a good bet View Boats Page

Report on-board Lady Grace
had another fishing trip today. the weather was great for december with the estuary flat calm and overcast. it hasnt been too cold either so with some decent tides this week its nice to get out away from the christmas tv. we did a 6.5hr trip fishing the flood through to the start of the ebb. there are still plenty of whiting about keeping us busy and still the odd bigger one for the plate. we had the odd cod thrown in too and ended up with 5 all together. out tommorrow on a local comp. but i have most of the rest of the week free should you get bored of re-runs of carry on films. still a few fish about further off too. scott has had three trips so far over the xmas break with the best day totalling 30 codling and one roker. for more information available dates and a weekly fishing update visit www.essexseafishing.co.uk or phone 07791859624

Report on-board Galloper
i thought i'd put in a report as it's been a while. the fishing this autumn has been far better than last year. weve seen steady numbers of cod coming aboard with several thornback still around and even the odd bass or smooth-hound. in fact we had a couple of smooth-hounds just a couple of weeks ago! a sure sign of how mild its been. although were not complaining as the mild weather has ment we are still catching well and have still been able to get out most of the time. there has even been good fishing in the river which has saved a few days for us. further afield there have been a few big cod around although it can sometimes mean sacrificeing quantity for quality. our biggest so far is 16.9lbs cuaght by on of our regulars wayne bennet although we hope to better this over the coming weeks. the fishing inshore is still good and even our evening trips have proven popular. one of our reglular parties jumped aboard on saturday night. there had been a couple of drop outs but the lads were still happy to go with just the 4 of them. we arrived just as the flood was under way and after a few missed bites martin was the first into a fish. a nice codling followed quickly by another on his other rod. john soon followed with a cod of his own. the fishing came in flurries for the next couple of hours before the tide died around 9.30pm. we had already had a good session with john boating the biggest at 10.8lbs and most of the rest around 3-4lbs. now the two new lads fred and perry had a few codling as the tide eased and we had to leave. we finished up with 28 codling for the night with johns 10.8lb fish the biggest, there were sever dogfish and plenty of whiting too.
with fishing like this now we hold high hopes for the spring run of cod which should have fattened up nicely. there are a few spaces over christmass with nice tides otherwise im taking bookings for next year.

Report on-board Lady Grace
i had another trip booked today. this time there were three experienced anglers and i managed to get a rod out myself. we were on a 12-4pm trip again and we left just before low water with a view to fishing the first few hours of the flood. unfortunatly it took a while before the tide got going although we were kept busy with whiting from the start. there are no shortage of whiting about this year and i even managed to hook two on one hook earlyer! as the tide got under way i had the first codling although this turned out to be the only codling of the day as it wasnt long before we had to go home. the lads were all happy and there had been plenty of banter aboard as russel (who's a regular aboard the 'galloper' with scott) kept us laughing all of the time. ive got plenty of weekend dates between now and christmass so if you fancy a trip then get in touch. please visit www.essexseafishing.co.uk for more information.

Report on-board PLAN B
i came over to fish a fishing for fun meet upon rays new boat "the merlin"..fishing with lee johnson,and the fff crew was an experience,and Ray was an absulute gentleman,coming from Ireland,i had no gear.Ray set me up with quality rods and reels,already rigged up,with all baits supplied by the skipper at no extra cost,and there was MOUNTAINS of bait,as soon as we were out over the mark,tea and bacon butties came thick and fast,as did the whiting and rokers to our rods.Being Irish,i had not uptided before,Ray could not have been more helpful showing me the tequniques of uptiding and being very patient with me.The merlin is a very comfortable boat to fish,with loads of room for eight anglers,and Ray and his crew worked hard all day to get us onto the fish,I had a most enjoyable day and intend to bring an irish crew over next year to fish this venue with Ray again.
