Report on-board Galloper
I’m pleased to say that the fishing is still going strong for us as we approach Christmas aboard the ‘Galloper’. The river is still fishing well despite a few sprats and herrings showing. I hope that the stamp of fish and the overall quantity should mean they don’t put the fish off too much. The sheltered waters here can still produce some good sport and a nice feed when the weathers not playing ball. Of course when we can we get a bit further out and numbers here are still good with 40-60 codling a trip common place along with a few roker. The stamp is picking up too as these fish soon put weight on with the abundance of food on hand. If the conditions are right then we can push even further afield and try our luck for a decent cod or if we’re really lucky we can get stuck into some prime dogfish! So over the coming weeks there are several options open to us with spaces on most types of trips over Christmas and into January.

Report on-board Seawatch1
Only ten days until Christmas and I can't believe we are approaching the end of another years fishing,where does the time go? The winter weather has finally arrived with one or two sharp frosty mornings and some strong winds forcing us to cancel a couple of trips.
When we have been fishing the codling have been keeping us very busy with some excellent catches of fish to four pound and still several Thornbacks to double figures.
I would like to thank you all for your support during 2014 and wish you and your families a very Happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
Looking forward to seeing you on Seawatch in 2015,
All the best Lester View Boats Page

Its been a while since my last report on CBUK but its been a busy few months aboard the ‘Galloper’. Autumn has been kind to us with loads of codling about to provide us with great sport and all on our door step. The river blackwater has often fished as well or better than marks further afield with loads of codling and whiting coming out along with thornback rays and other bits and bobs. The numbers of codling have been the best I’ve ever seen in there which can only be a good thing. With the fishing being so good in the shelter of the estuary we have lost very few days to bad weather. That’s a bonus to our customers saving them from having to re-organise several anglers to another date that suits them. Its not many ports that can provide catches of 30-60 codling a trip in conditions that force many poor souls to cancel.
We haven’t spent all of our time in the river though and when we get further afield there are still numbers of rays showing. This isn’t uncommon nowadays and is helped by the mild weather. I will also add that I think the mild weather doesn’t have a negative effect on the cod fishing. This seasons numbers prove that to my mind with a mild autumn and great numbers of fish about.
Even further offshore has been a bit of a dogfest so far but our last trip was a little more promising and all credit to those who keep putting the effort in as that’s the best way to get results. I have a few spaces on various trips before the new year and plenty available in 2015 for more information, available dates or regular reports please visit my website. www.essexseafishing.co.uk View Boats Page

The cod have arrived in big numbers. No large ones yet but plenty of 2-4lb fish with the odd thornback ray making an appearance.
Boats are regularly getting over 30 codling keepers and 50 or more whiting
Squid and lug cocktails doing the damage.
I have a few dates left this year and early next year is filling fast. View Boats Page

Went out on a short 3 hour trip today, Mark showed them how it was done by catching 3 codling, Kevin had 1 codling and just when we had given up hope for Paul catching a cod he pulled one in on his last cast! So we totalled 5 codling and half dozen whiting
