Fished a lower river mark on Sunday with a group of youngsters and hit a large number a Thornback Rays. These were mainly large females and smaller males. All taken on fish baits on short rigs presented uptide in shallow water..
Despite what people say they fight well on light gear and and are fun to catch.
From now on the numbers will increase and we should soon see the first of the hounds plus bass. View Boats Page

on Galloper (Brightlingsea, Essex)

Report on-board Galloper
Im sorry for the lack of reports on here lately but to be honest there wasn’t much to shout about around here at the start of the year. After the Christmas period we saw the return of the cold weather and vast amounts of sprats and herring inshore. These combined ruined the inshore fishing for a few weeks. I ventured out a few times with the odd hardy and keen anglers just to see what was about but things were grim in places. We turned our attention to the flatties on a couple of trips and scratched out a few dabs and flounders along with the occasional pin whiting. Thankfully the lads were often happy just to be afloat and still had an enjoyable day. I am pleased to say that with the mild weather over the last couple of weeks and a lot of the sprats having moved out the fishing has greatly improved inshore. The thorn-backs are back on the move and there are some good fish amongst them. We often have some our biggest rays in this early part of the season and so far the biggest has been caught by one of our regulars Martin Ryan, it went 13-14lbs and was returned swiftly (as we do with all of our females). We havnt seen any codling as yet but you will be pleased to know the warmer weather will get the dogfish feeding again. As the bait fish move off we are often left with one or two decent whiting that have fattened up on the sprats. Offshore is much of the same along with a few spurdogs on the right tides.
I have plenty of spaces over the next few weeks including some this weeked with nice tides and a decent forecast. If you wish to join us or for more information please call 07956411528,

Whent in search of some spurdogs this weekend, little early but we managed to find 14 Friday upto 18lb but only manage 2 sunday upto 13lb but plenty of rays to keep us busy,
This fisherie should improved over the next few weeks but we must sort the correct tides out for this,
Makes for a change of species as the cod fishing is very slow this year.
If you fancy targeting spurs give me a call few tides left. View Boats Page

well the weather and fishing hasn't been in our favour since Christmas but ive managed a few trips out and manage to find a few fish ,
lots of sprats about and put the herring net in on occasion to get some bait and a feed for the anglers,
very few whitings now showing also on the small or slack tide a few dabs coming to the smelly baits ,
#most trips consisting of 10/20 thornbacks mainly on herring fresher the better ,
soon be off targeting other species lets hope .
tight lines chris. View Boats Page
