Report on-board Valkyrie 6/8
We had a trip out with Glen targeting rays and bass in a lucky break in the winds yesterday.
the first session at the bass was unproductive with just a single whiting landed and a few bass either dropped or missed. as the tide died we put the anchor down to target some blondes. we managed 6 in 1.5 hours upto 26lb along with some huss to low double figures and conger to 20lb and the ever present doggies.
as the tide picked up we went back on the drift and after a few moves we found some feeding bass and ended up with around 20 with a best of 11lb 11oz we also dropped a few decent ones with the average size of the fish landed at over 5lb. A great day on a top boat with a hard working skipper in decent winter weather.

Report on-board Valkyrie 6/8
Fished on Valkyrie with a group of regulars from Oxfordshire on a bass trip. after a spell at anchor catching blonde rays upto 26lb, huss to 10lb, conger to 20lb and a few dogs we were on the drift for the bass. after a bit of searching we found some fish with most being over 5lb. we had to move a few times to keep on the fish but Glen worked hard to track them down and we did our best to hook them. the biggest of the day went 11lb 11oz and we had several around 9lb with a few good fish lost as well.

Report on-board Duke IV
Once again, Bob Marshall provided us with an interesting and enjoyable day's fishing. The thrill for me was catching herrings on feathers. I have always carried a couple of packs of herring lures in the rig wallet, but have never had much success on them, so it was a real bonus when Bob's eagle eye spotted a shoal of fish on his sounder as we headed south out of Ramsgate towards the Varne Bank. Bob was not quite certain what the shoal was ,but we dropped down mackeral feathers and in no time at all we were landing herrings and the odd mackeral.
Once on the Varne we caught several species of fish, with turbot being outstanding bonus although it must also be noted that we caught some really big mackeral dragging bait over the bank. In total we had at least ten different species of fish, you certainly cannot complain about that for a day's fishing. Thanks Bob, looking forward to the 18th November.
Best Wishes

Report on-board Duke IV
We are enjoying some super fishing out from Ramsgate, the weather has been kind too allowing us to fish places often out of reach at this time of year.
We headed south today with Roberts crew from Herne Bay and passing Kingsdown the fish marks on the sounder proved to be herrings that we caught on the feathers. We moved on to the Varne where we had Jumbo Mackerel, Bass and some tasty Turbot, the reason we came here in the first place. We stopped off at a wreck on the way back to Ramsgate where fishing the launce we had caught earlier, Chris lost a fine Bass and Rob landed a Pollack on a sidewinder.
Whiting, Bass, Skate and Hounds and the odd Cod closer to Ramsgate so plenty of species to aim for.
Looking forward to a busy winter with some weekend spaces still available on Duke IV. View Boats Page

Report on-board Skerry Belle
Am expecting a big influx of codling any time now on the inshore marks which are sheltered from prevailing winds, I very rarely get blown off as opposed to more exposed ports or venues. The bass will probably stay around for a month or two yet because the sea temp is still quite high! This time of year usually throws up a huge fish or two. The boat will be operating between Christmas and New Year so if you fancy getting out of the house and blowing away the cobwebs and mince pies get in touch!! Have now got my 2012 diary and tide table January Feb and March should see us fishing for skate and large cod so get in touch now to book for the better tides. hope to see you all aboard Bayside soon,

Report on-board Valkyrie 6/8
The winter fishing has kicked into gear with some nice Cod now being caught around the Nab Tower, the plaice fishing is still steady with alot of smaller fish around at the moment but amongst them are a few nice fish to 4 / 5lb mark.
On the spring tides the Bass are feeding well on lures,theres some great fun to be had on spinning rods, lots of small fish around that need to be returned, but still some very nice fish amongst them, we will be targeting the Bass until the end of November only on the spring tides then mainly Cod & Whiting for the next 2 mounths.
