Bobby made the most of the lovely weather and the lads had a cracking day for an offshore bass trip. We were into fish from the off and had steady fishing throughout the day trying several marks at different states of the tide. The fish were were of mixed sizes but there were some really chunky fish mixed with them. We have been doing well on the bass lately, particularly on the offshore trips. These will continue until the end of November. I have spaces this week for offshore and general trips.

I thought I'd share some of the less common species we have had lately. Mostly offshore but some more colourful fish like tub and red gurnard, greater weaver fish and even some black bream. Of course the bass are our main targets offshore from now until December but it's nice to see the other fish too.
The general trips are still producing hounds and bass inshore as well as some other bits and bobs. I have spaces in the next week on general and offshore bass trips

Phil had a great trip the other day. The weather was nice and the hounds were feeding well. He had over 10 himself with several around double figures. He also had a bonus stingray too. He said it was a shame his friend Matt couldn't make it. Not to share the fishing but just to watch him catch so much! ��
The fishing has been great inshore for hounds and offshore for bass lately.
It's been nice to have some settled weather too.
I have availability for groups and individuals over the coming weeks.

Tony and the lads had a great day on the hounds recently. There were fish of all sizes but a lot between 8-12lb and the biggest around 13-14lbs though it was quite busy so we didn't even weigh it! There were multiple hook ups and screaming reels at times. They kindly let Stanley fish too and I think he is getting the hang of holding them now. Not bad for a nearly 3 year old! There were a few bass too but mostly hounds.
Hopefully they keep coming over the next few weeks.
I have availability for groups and individuals over the coming weeks from brightlingsea then spaces for tuna fishing from Plymouth from the end of September.

We've been very busy making the most of the decent weather lately. There continue to be some lovely bass and hounds coming out on our general trips with a few different species showing too. The offshore trips are producing the best variety with bass, plaice, Launce, tub gurnard, red gurnard, scad, weaver and lots of mackerel showing.
Katie and Doug had a couple of lovely bass among the hounds on their trip as well as a nice tan as well I would imagine!

Sorry I haven't been on here much. I've had lots to sort out since we were granted the tuna permit. i also broke another phone so I'm short on pictures.
The good weather has also meant I've been working a lot of hours and out of signal range.
We started on our offshore bass trips last week. Richards group did well in some challenging conditions ahead of this settled spell. Thankfully the fish were feeding well and we managed a few on lures and good numbers on bait. Once the lads got in the grove there was a steady stream of fish coming in. The lads kept two each and we ended up putting lots of sizable fish back. There were plenty of fish just shy of the limit and a few hounds too.
We mixed in more lures and live bait as weather conditions improved over the following days and had some lovely fish in the 4-6lb range too.
Our general trips have produced more decent hounds and even another Conger and a stingray.

There's some great mixed fishing around on our general trips at the moment. Bass and hounds are the main targets but we have seen a few rays, dogfish, tope and more amongst those trips.
Offshore bass trips start from now and run right into December. This can produce some great fish and fantastic sport on light gear too. Depending on conditions we will use worm at anchor or lures and live bait.

It's a shame that the weather has been so unsettled lately but thankfully we've not had to cancel any trips. To be honest I do enjoy the different challenge and showing off the sheltered fishing brightlingsea has to offer. It's rewarding in a different way to the offshore stuff. We have had some lovely fish and a great variety too over the last few trips.
The usual hounds with lots in the 8-10lb keeping us busy at times and some lovely bass in between the smaller ones.
Fishing these different areas means we have a better chance of other species such as stingrays and we've had 3 in the last couple of trips.
Other species include Dover sole, silver eel, Conger eel, dab, thornback rays, dogfish, whiting, pouting and tope one of over 25lb very close inshore which was very briefly on the boat but a little camera shy!
I have boat availability this week Monday to Wednesday and individual spaces too.
