Report on-board Plan B
A few decent hounds around the real big ladies are yet to arrive. Plenty of good bass around and some thornbacks. Hopefully with the rising temperatures big shoals of bass will be arriving as well.
Worms producing most of the fish, the thornbacks seem to prefer squid and fishbaits. Tight lines everyone.

Report on-board DAWN TIDE II
There’s Plenty of bass around at the moment a decent stamp of fish & reasonable numbers aswell for April,
Worm baits & lures are most productive & both are a must if you want to target the bass. Its only going to get better as water temp rises with big shoals hitting the lures!
Hounds are creeping in more & more although we we’re catching them in February the real big girls are yet to arrive in proper numbers but im sure they will start showing in the shallows in coming weeks.
The Tope wont be far behind either & if the spurs are going to show it will be very soon aswell bedn a few rouge ones reported this week
To be honest il keep continuing to target bass until all the rest kicks off
Its nice & steady at the moment plenty for everyone.
Exciting fishing ahead!!

Mark and the lads had a good day despite the weather the other day. There were loads of dogfish and whiting but thankfully in between there were some nice rays, hounds and bass. Stuart had the most rays with 5 to his name but the others beat him on the bass.

It looks like we might escape this run of unseasonably cold, wet and windy weather by the end of the week.
Thankfully despite the cold and the algae bloom we have continued to find some great fishing. There have been some decent sized rays and hounds showing between the smaller ones as well and bass, dogfish, whiting and dabs ect. Everyone has been kept busy and relatively comfortable due to Galloper being a catamaran. Some of the hounds have been nice chunky females and as this weather warms up they should start to show in big numbers.
I have spaces on general trips from Friday to Monday over the bank holiday and availability for full boat bookings in the coming weeks too. Please call 07956411528 for more information View Boats Page

For a change to the recent pictures of hounds, bass and rays I thought I would put some flatfish on from our recent trips. We had a nice few hours drifting for plaice the other day with good numbers of plaice and dabs. We did a few drifts over the course of 2-3hrs and with plenty of double shots and a conservative estimate of 50 odd for the boat. Andy had 13 plaice and I know the other lads were on similar numbers. I also thought I'd include Steve's bonus turbot from the next trip too. Which was a lovely fish and he chose to release too. I've heard of a few turbot showing so I might put a trip together for them soon. I will definitely be doing more trips for plaice and bass so please get in touch if you want to join us.

There have been a few bass and some better hounds showing along with the smaller fish over the last week. No huge bass but more hounds around the double figures are starting to show. Yes Barry has been catching a few again as have the others like Dave, Stephen, leon and Matt. Both of these will be our main target for our general trips for the next few weeks and I have availability if you want to join us for a general trip or even offshore trip.

Of course dogfish made up most of the catch along with 6 thornback rays and a few small hounds.
