Fishing Report by Bob Marshall
on Duke IV (Ramsgate, Kent)

Report on-board Duke IV
Plenty of Codling around at the moment, they are swimming up off the bottom, feeding on Sprat, mackerel and herring. This exposes them to the nets and they are being landed by the tonne!
When the herring move off, the Cod will return to bottom feeding over the rough ground. Then its our turn to catch them on lug/squid cocktails. Quite a few Thornback Ray still around with herring being the favourite bait. Carl from Kent today out on Duke IV landed this chunky l0lb 6oz female off Deal. Some large Mackerel up to 3lb also being landed by the nets so plenty of fish here. We are organising a number of trips for individuals over the next month with plenty of dates available for the boat.
We will be resuming our wreck fishing trips later this month so give me a call and, Let's go fishing!

Report on-board Great White
Sean stepped into the breach after the skipper of the boat we were originally booked to go on switched us at short notice! Something I didn't find out about until the evening before when I rang for the final go/no go! Despite the late forced change of plans we had a good day on the distant wrecks with a few quality pollack.

Fishing Report by Ray Burn
on Grey Viking (Brighton, East Sussex)
Jan 2012 by Ray Burn
Report on-board Grey Viking
Well it was a funny old winter! I returned from holiday in the third week in November and we managed 5 days on the trot for inshore winter Cod, it was so warm we were down to teeshirts one day! The Cod were playing ball and we had quite a few in the 16lb class and the best that week went 19lb so I thought "here we go" ... lining up nicely for another good winter season.... But then December arrived, the wind came and it stayed for about 8 weeks! We only managed to nick the odd day here and there when a brief lull in the wind presented itself and it was the worst winter for rough seas I can remember!
The wind finally fell and went northerly marking the start of this cold snap so we got out to the Pollack wrecks on the 29th and 30th January. (The tides were wrong to target my winter Cod wrecks). It's a bit of a gamble looking for decent Pollack in January but we managed a decent catch both days with 5 anglers getting personal bests and 3 of those fish were in the 16lb class, so I was quite happy. On the second of those trips we were unusually short of crew with only 6 anglers aboard and my mate Nick Coster asked me to have a fish myself and try his 6lb class rod for a bit of fun (I dont normally fish myself when wrecking). Anyway, first drop and bang and my personal best Bass of 10lb 4oz soon graced the net... Happy days!
As I write this Grey Viking is out of the water for 10 days for her annual winter maintenance and we are back fishing from the 15th February, weather permitting and the Pollack season should be in full swing by then and there should still be some Lunker Cod in certain areas too !! We also have the Plaice fishing to look forward too which was truly superb in 2010 so tight lines and hope to see you soon! View Boats Page

on Duke IV (Ramsgate, Kent)

Report on-board Duke IV
The fishing just gets better here at Ramsgate with plenty of Skate to keep the rods busy. The Cod fishing could be better but we are getting the odd one here & there.
Plenty of Whiting and of course doggies still around.
We are still getting the odd Bass to lug bait, maybe this mild winter is keeping the water temps up high enough.
Rudy & Martins groups have today had a good haul of Skate along with plenty of Whiting, doggies and a Codling!
Still dates available on Duke IV Feb/March so book now to avoid disappointment!
Space available for next Sunday for individuals or small groups!

Report on-board Duke IV
A fine days Skate fishing today on Duke IV with fish over the magical 10lbs! These fish are in peak condition and fight all the way to the net. Plenty of Whiting to make up the bag.
Matt from Devon landed the best Skate of 10lbs 4oz that took his lug/squid cocktail, a bait meant for the Cod but hey, these fish use the tide and pull all the way to the net!
Some weekend dates left Feb/March so checkout my website & come on down!
Tight lines Bob! View Boats Page

on Duke IV (Ramsgate, Kent)

Report on-board Duke IV
A good mix of fishing here at Ramsgate. The weather has been kind with the wind dropping out at last and amongst the Whiting, Cod and doggies we are still having some good catches of Thornback Ray. Herring being the bait of choice for the Thornies whilst lug and squid for the Cod!
The sprats are here too but for now the shoals are not heavy enough to make any difference to the fishing. Chris and Rob had a good catch of Codling on Duke IV whilst today Jasons crew from Hertford landed the Skate amongst the smaller stuff!
Bait is still available and Duke IV is ready to go so just call and lets go fishing! View Boats Page

Report on-board Skerry Belle
Let me start by saying I still have spaces available for Bank Holiday Monday. My 4 hour trips have now started, which are a great insight into boat fishing- for both novices and the beginner. I have a fresh supply of peeler crab on board.Give me a call to get your order in.
While the fishing just goes from strength to strength, with the change over of winter to summer species in full swing. Now is the time to bag up on skate, especially if you've never caught one as 20+ fish a trip is quite common. Add to this the hounds, spurdogs, bass, and spring codling. I think April/May is going to be a bumper time for fishing up to 10 miles off. Still have good tide dates available. I look forward to answering all your queries for trips aboard Bayside. All my trips include rods, reels, tackle and some baits. 07805250427.
Tight Lines!
