Fishing Report by Scott Belbin
on Galloper (Brightlingsea, Essex)
Sep 2017 by Scott Belbin
Report on-board Galloper
Its been a long time since my last report on here. We had a few nice fish over the summer and the weather was ok on the whole. there were a few decent smooth-hounds about here and there along with some nice bass and the usual mixed bags of thorn-backs, dogfish and such like to make the days up. When it has been windy the blackwater estuary has produced the goods too. On the right tides we can do well in here and avoid the weed too. One morning with just two lads aboard we managed around 15 sizable bass (although most were returned due to the 1 bass per angler bag limit). We have also snuck out a few ballen and corkwing wrasse which aren’t too common around here. The river also produced the first codling of the season on my dads boat ‘Razorbill 3’ way back in august. It was only a small fish but hopefully a good sign of things to come in the fast approaching cod season. With that in mind im not expecting great guns from the cod but we should definitely see an improvement on last year (although that’s not hard as they barely showed). There were good numbers of little codletts along the shore in places in the spring so these fish are likely to return in the 12-18 inch bracket this autumn. Fingers crossed we should see a few bigger fish mixed in too along with the usual autumn run of thorn-backs, dogfish whiting ect. Although I may be a bit laxed on here with reports ect I keep my available dates as up to date as possible and my reports on my website and facebook are usually quite popular.

Fishing Report by Phil White
on Chinook 3 (Bradwell Marina, Essex)

Report on-board Chinook 3
The weather has been very unsettled over the last few weeks but it is finally settling down and this has allowed us to get offshore for the Bass.
We have had some cracking fish with the best at over 8lb, these fish are shoaling up on the offshore banks before moving south for the winter, now is the best time of the year for us to target them before they go, best baits are worm and squid.
There are good numbers of thornbacks showing in all areas offshore and a few starting to show inshore now as well, these fish are a good size although thinner because they have spawned, best baits are squid and fish.
The whiting are showing up in all areas although inshore is best, especially along the shoreline off of Walton and Clacton, best baits are squid, lug and mackerel.
Most of the smoothounds have moved off although there are plenty of smaller ones further offshore, the bigger ones have gone quite early this season with the drop in sea temperature, however this might be a good sign for the cod.
Talking of which, hopes are high that we might see some cod this winter, certainly there are some on the south coast already and sea temperatures are down on this time last year so keep everything crossed and keep checking social media for the latest reports.

Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
Well, the fishing to date has been consistent with good number of Rays, Bass and Hounds, the Mackerel have done a disappearing act sadly... but must not complain as we hsave had a good run this year.
With the bigger Bass about to start massing off shore, it would be a good time to think about booking up a trip or three,
Hopefully the weather will calm down and let us make those off-shore trips to the outer marks where the magic happens not seen so many Plaice this year...... must have caught them all last year..lol
If you would like to charter this ineradicable catamaran Vanishing Point-2, then just call on 07768 30 66 46
and if you want to include clay shooting within your charter just let us know the night before so we can arrange the shoot for you.
Tight lines.... hot guns..!!!! View Boats Page

on Chinook 3 (Bradwell Marina, Essex)

Report on-board Chinook 3
The last fortnight has seen some unsettled weather but the fishing has been excellent.
There are a lot more Smoothounds around and plenty of them are over 10lb, sport has been hectic at times with multiple hook ups and screaming reels !!. These fish are the move all the time while feeding and when hooked they charge off like a train, great fun.
There have been some nice Bass around, more than last year with quite a few doubles reported and plenty returned alive, most days we are seeing at least one good Bass and some days 3 or 4, most fall for a squid bait but a fresh or frozen mackerel chunk works well.
Talking of mackerel, we have had a lot at times with anglers getting full strings every drop but as always with mackerel fishing you can go to the same spot next day and nothing, they have moved again but great fun while it lasts.
There are a lot more Thornbacks moving back in to all areas offshore, these summer fish are really pulling in the clear water and are much more fun than when caught in coloured water, sometimes it is a job to tell them from other fish if the tide is not running.
There have been a few more Stingrays caught this year than in recent years, possibly because of less commercial activity, most are caught on ragworm, mackerel or squid.
Prospects are excellent, September is our best month for Bass fishing when we can actually target them more effectively as they shoal up before leaving us for the year, the hounds will stay around until well into October and there will be good numbers of thornbacks. View Boats Page
