Report on-board Galloper
It was great to see the lads from Suffolk police the other day. The doggies kept them busy between the rays, whiting, pouting, a bass and a dab. There were certainly no shortage of bites and the lads fished hard as they always do.
It's nice to see plenty of life out there as things warm up and we see increasing amounts of summer species show.
Currently my next spaces are as follows
24/03- 7 Spaces @ £60pp

Mark looks happy with his codling from the other day. Lol. Sorry the picture was awful, we were more interested in getting the dear little thing back in the water. The doggies are feeding well now and there have been some better rays mixed in with the smaller ones too. It won't be long before the hounds and bass start showing inshore too. We are already catching them further off.
I will try and put an offshore trip together for early next week so please let me know if you are interested. currently my next spaces are on

Malcolm and the lads had a nice trip between the 3 of them the other day. There were a few bigger female rays mixed in which looks like the start of the spring run. They had 15 rays all together as well as dogfish, whiting, pouting and codling. Hopefully the building tides will push some more fish in for the weekend. We have spaces Saturday and the full boat available Sunday 10th . If you want to join us please call me on 07956412528

The cod are in! Look at this giant tony caught. Possibly a skrei cod following the herring down lol. In reality it was small but perfectly formed and offers hope for years to come. The rays aren't in huge numbers but we have been finding a few between the whiting, dogfish, pouting, dabs and hounds so there's plenty to catch at the moment.
I have spaces this coming weekend and midweek over the next few weeks.

The Fishing is finally picking up as expected
Been getting out fairly regularly now and as of Late its really picked up out there.
On most trips we have been Seeing several Rays males & females along with the first of the hounds too biggest going 15lb already great for February on a local mark.
We have been seeing schoolies & the odd Codling aswell but numbers are increasing rapidly on all fronts the whiting are thinning out too.
As we move in to march & spring I suspect it will really kick off mark my words i feel this season is going to begin early!!

Great crew and weather today.
Well done Trevor

Report on-board Galloper
Apologies for the lack of reports lately. We have had the boats out of the water and have been moving house so I haven't had time to deal with too many calls and messages. However now things are coming together and spring isn't far away looking at the daffodils that already flowering.
With the weather generally being mild the fish have been feeding well most of the way through the winter. Our last trip produced plenty of whiting and dogfish with a few dabs and even a bass. The lads had one or two rays each and nick even managed a rocking (not too common from the boat). I have spaces this weekend offshore weather permitting from Sunday (03rd) onwards. I will try and get back on track with reports from now on as I know many of you have been asking.

Recent report
Personally i found the Fishing i the area on the slow side since the bass thinned out in November
I have Been out several times over the last few weeks No big numbers of Codling showing yet just the odd one but don’t rule the Codling out just yet they may move inn the closer we move to spring!
We have had some size rays recently not loads of fish but reasonable ones. The numbers of rays should really start to increase as we move forward from this point.
We Had a few small schoolie bass on the last couple of trips locally but remember its catch a release until 31st march then 2 per angler over 42cm.
The bass fishing should be in full swing once it opens! they haven’t really moved too far this winter so I suspect a early start to the season if it stays mild.
The hounds should start showing locally in march as always & them spurdogs may show offshore around that time too hopefully the spurs move closer inn during April & may like previous seasons.
Basically from now onwards the fishing is going to start picking up with general mixed trips planned along with cod trips, ray trips, hound trips, spurdog trips, & Bass trips all In the diary from now too the end of spring. Then its onto the summer fishing!!!
Looking forward to the season ahead
My diary is looking very busy march onwards

if you are a sea angler beach or boat either fanatical or occasional and you have fished around the greater Thames Estuary then it is likely you have fished for thornback rays. if you have fished here the last few years you will undoubtedly noticed the steep decline in their numbers. THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
please take the time to fill out this survey, attend an online meeting, or voice your opinion in some official way to try and get sea angling the recognition it deserves. we seem to be under represented when ever it matters so please stand up and be counted. it wont take long, you invest money into angling weather it is by spending it on charter boats, tackle, bait, traveling or taking time off. protect your investment by taking part now.
i'm not sure what the rules are about sharing the links on here but i have put them on my own social media and website
