Report on-board Galloper
The bass fishing continues to be good at the moment. There have been some quality fish showing on many of our trips and at times large numbers too. Bottom fishing is normally producing the better fish and the bigger numbers are coming on lures when conditions suit. As well as bass our general trips are producing good hounds, tope, rays and several other species too.
The weather is forecast to improve and I have spaces this week on general trips as well as boat availability.

This time of year is great for variety so I thought I'd share some of the different species we've caught lately. Garfish, lobster, tope, bass and hounds on our general trips. The scad was offshore but a proper jumbo one so thought I'd share it.
Spaces this week on Friday and next week on Wednesday and Thursday

It's not just bass coming out at the moment. The hound fishing has been good at times too. We had a great evening with Tony and the lads the other night. Hounds were our main aim and they were feeding well from the first cast. Kevin started us off and Neil wasn't far behind. There were lots of double figure fish and the biggest falling to Neil at 18.5lb. unfortunately around 1lb smaller than his pb (caught around 15 years ago on one of my previous boats) but still a great fish. Tony had a nice little stingray and along with the 30 odd hounds we had lots of bass and other bits and bobs.

Come rain or shine the fishing has been good this week. Numbers of hounds and bass and some nice fish amongst them. The lads have kept a few bass each trip with many more returned. The hounds have been feeding well at times and there have been some decent double figure fish coming out too. Making up the rest of the catches are dogfish, whiting, dabs and tope.
I have spaces remaining this weekend and into next week

Well there's a first time for everything! I've often seen a hooked bass chased by other bass as we bring it in. It happens with lots of fish where I gather they are confused by the excitement of the hooked fish and don't want to miss out. However they normally shy away as they near the boat. But on this occasion I was able to net the non-hooked bass before netting the one he was chasing! We've caught two on one hook and even caught them on the grips of the weight but you can tell there are a lot of bass around when I can just pluck them from the sea without the need for a rod!
So you may have gathered there are plenty of fish out there at the moment and I have spaces this week.

Report on-board Braveheart II
As I predicted this last set of spring tides has started to push the better smoothounds and bass inshore. We are still not seeing the crazy numbers of smoothounds expected at this time of year, but we are seeing a really good average stamp of fish with a colossal 20lb 8 oz fish being landed on Friday for angler paul Ashton which has beaten his lifetime p.b by over 5lb and he's been fishing for over 50 years! Also new angler aboard BRAVEHEARTII broke his club angling club record and I await the forms to sign off verification. Some good bass landed the last few days too and another 2 pb's for the anglers of 6lb 9oz & 6lb 8oz as well as a new p.b smoothound for rob Harvey after losing a big fish at the net, the previous week, remember guys change your monofilament line every year..... twice if you fish a lot !!! The may weed ( rot) seems like it's finally starting to clear as its been particularly bad this year especially in the crouch this can only be a good thing and as the water clears will be a prime time to Target bass on lures.
Here's wishing everyone a good season ahead and I welcome anglers old and new aboard BRAVEHEARTII wether experienced or complete novice . We also offer 5 hr trips which are great for families and kids as we also get to see the seals which is a great way to start the day.

The fishing over the last week or two has really turned a corner and it suddenly feels quite like summer. Obviously the weather has been great too and we have been busy catching lots of fish.
Some days the bass have been in great numbers on lures and baits. Smooth hounds are here in numbers and sizes vary from one day to another. The biggest in the last few weeks has been over 18.5lb. we have even seen quite a few tope mixed in on our general trips too which is hopefully a good sign for the tope season. I will report on this once we have finished as normal so please don't wait for reports before you book.
Next individual spaces are this Tuesday (21st) then over the bank holiday weekend. Please call 07956411528 for more information View Boats Page
