Lots of double figure thornbacks around and some nice early spring Bass, along with dogfish and whiting. The occasional codling and decent size dab. Luckily I have some very productive marks in the lea of the land for those days when winds are high.

So we have managed a trip out at last.
The small window in the weather got us a short exploratory trip.
The great news is the Thornback Rays are in, and in big numbers and even better news they are not far from home.
Due to this we are not so dominated by the weather and should be able to get out even in fairly strong winds as long as they are not due East or West.
I am doing short taster trips for youngster / parents at half price every other weekend until the summer species arrive - so now is a great time to get out and give it a go.
All bait and tackle is included , with a fun safe environment, tuition and assistance is given if wanted.
We have a deck access flushing toilet. View Boats Page

Report on-board DAWN TIDE II
Cut to the chase The season has begun loads for rays about boated 40+ to 12lb on the 27/2/2020 water surface temp is 7.5c so It wont belong until all the other species move in at all
but for now lets just enjoy the vast numbers of rays we have for the next 4-6 weeks last season the bass and hounds were showing in late march So its time to prepare and get afloat

Report on-board Galloper
Despite the seemingly relentless gales February has been fairly kind to us on the blackwater. The blackwater estuary has continued to provide great sport in all but the worst conditions. Luckily where most of the fish have been showing is very well sheltered from the south and west so we can fish in a gale of wind and its no rougher than on the mooring most of the time. The sprats have gone now although plenty of herring remain, but this doesn’t seem to be having an adverse effect on the fishing. Last week Carl and young Billy-roy hired the boat for just the two of them and they had a great days fishing. It was their second trip with me and Billy-roy had remembered so much from his first trip. He was casting on his own and did a great job of reeling in some decent thorn-backs all on his own. The lads had steady fishing all day and managed 31 rays between them as well as a few whiting and a dogfish for good measure. They are already planning their next trip for later in the year. We have had days with more rays on board but this was undoubtably a good day between two people, in February on a windy day.
We have only been able to get further offshore on the occasional day to be honest but this should improve in the coming weeks and we should see a bit more variety in the fish we catch. The rays seem pretty wide spread now so we should be cooking on gas for a while inshore.
I have plenty of spaces coming up including this weekend coming.

Jan 2020 by Scott Belbin
Report on-board Galloper
The year has got off to a great start for us here on the blackwater estuary. There may have been lots of sprats around but the thorn-back rays have still been feeding well. The mild weather has undoubtably helped this and they have shown in both size and numbers. The best of the fishing has been well within the shelter of the estuary so we have been able to fish in all but the worst weather. Our best trip in January was 42 rays to 14.8lbs. we saw double figure fish mixed in most trips and plenty of happy anglers. As long as we don’t see any prolonged cold spells the rays should be here for the spring now. Although at times it was mostly rays we caught we did see a few other bits and bobs with the usual whiting dogfish and dabs showing. When conditions allowed we headed further afield and even had a couple of tiny codling, hopefully we will see some of their larger relatives as the sprats move off in the coming weeks. I have several spaces coming up at weekends as well as midweek availability and evening as we get into the summer. For more information, regular reports and availability please visit
