Report on-board Lady Grace
since launching the 'lady grace' ive been busy with the water taxi service and harbour trips but as the winter approaches i will be turning my attention to fishing trips and bird watching trips. we had our first fishing trip on saturday the 29th and with reasonable weather and a few cod starting to show it seemed we had picked the perfect day to start. we fished the top of the tide and had a 4 hour trip booked with a party of 5 aboard. some of the lads had a little experience but were shown up by hannah and katie who were on there first fishing trip and apart from keeping busy with whiting caught two nice codling around the 2lbs mark. they enjoyed it so much that the 4 hours was extended to 5 and they ended up with 42 whiting and 2 codling between the 5 of them although the girls showed the boys up! as these big tides back off the numbers of cod in the estuary should increase and there are some big fish about already as the first double of the season came out on the 'galloper' today and its not unheard of for these bigger fish to turn up in the estuary too! if you wish to book a trip aboard the 'lady grace' or the 'galloper' then please visit www.esexseafishing.co.uk where you can find our availability as well as a weekly fishing update.

Another lovely weekend with loads of fish and the weather was lovely. We had about 20 hounds to 8lb plus bass to 5lb and loads of whiting and the ever persistent dogs.
Tides this weekend are fairly large and with the nice settled weather it looks like it will be another corker.. View Boats Page

Been a mad month with loads of wind stopping our trips on several weekends. However when we got out the fishing has been good with plenty of fish. Winter species have begun their migration into the river with the summer species beginning their migration out.. this is the best time of the year with summer and winter species both in abundance.
Last Sunday we had a great day with Dogfish in abundance and Whiting, Skate and Bass and still quite a few smoothounds.. If you can get out you will do very well. View Boats Page

27th august 2011
had a great day fishing to day, we left mersea about 7:10 in the morning a we steamed out for about an hour, trying to get to a mark about 20 miles out of mersea, as we go a little way out the sea became a little bit lumpy so we could not get to the mark the skipper wanted to. so we went to another mark which was just on the side of a sand bank. at first as the tide started runing we were only getting doggys but after about half hour we started to getsome little tope and smoothhound pups and a couple of whiting and i had a 6lb male thornback.then the tide slakened off and the boat was swinging around and we did not get much. but when the tide picked up again we had 2 bass about 3/4lb some more whiting and little tope and we started getting some nice smoothhounds, then it went quiet agian for some unknown reason and on the last cast of the day i had a 16lb smoothhound :) what a fish and a great day fishing , in the end we had 30 dogs 5 whiting 5 small tope 2 nice bass and about 10 smoothhounds at all different sizes and 1 thornback
thanks stuart and dave View Boats Page

Another window in the very windy few days resulted in a cracking day, 25 hounds up to 11.5 lb and 4 bass of around 4lb each.
Weather is looking good for the weekend so fingers crossed we will have some brilliant sport View Boats Page

wind stopped play for best part of the week, but managed a trip on Friday. Caught a few hounds but not the double figure ones we have been getting used to.. 7 bass and an eel.. a bit of a rarity now days..
