Report on-board Brigand
Well what a day! Headed out on one of our long distance trips today to an area we usually fish on our French trips and which has never failed to throw up excellent fish when conditions permit - today’s crew hit the Bass Jackpot! I’ve never seen so many, good quality fish in such high numbers. At times the chaps were pulling up strings of 6lb Bass on feathers 3 at a time, and they were the smaller ones………..it was absolutely insane fishing!
Great company, great fishing and now I’m in need of some sleep!
Best wishes

Report on-board Duke IV
Great half term week with the youngsters catching some fantastic fish. The grown ups have been doing OK too with Donna on holiday from Norfolk landing the best Hound and Skate with plenty of Hounds, Skate and Bass for all parties. Yesterday's trip with kids onboard was plagued with rain but it didn't stop them with a constant stream of Doggies and Hounds coming aboard. Well done everyone for putting in the effort to make sure we catch plenty. Top angling. ����

Report on-board Brigand
After the last 3 days boating Bass, Cod and Pollock on the offshore wrecks today was a far more relaxed affair! Target was inshore Bream and as this was our first go at these this year there was a hint of trepidation - would we find them in the numbers and the sizes we wanted? Well that was soon answered and a really fun filled, non-stop, fishy day saw us boating around 150 Bream, a dozen or so Plaice and few beautiful wrasse. We always observe our local IFCA recommendations on sizes and really pleased to see this year not just minimum take sizes but also maximum sizes recommended. These bigger fish have avoided predation, disease and (until this point !) capture; the DNA of these fish allied to the fact the egg production of larger females grows exponentially is a very important factor when considering fishery conservation.
Great weather, great fish, great company so a wonderful day all around and I finally had an opportunity to have a proper fish and ended up in a head to head contest with Mark Pantony who between catching Plaice and Wrasse boated a pb tally of 28 Bream - do correct me if I’m wrong Mark! It was hilarious banter, great competition and most of all wonderful to see an angler who through sheer grit and determination had developed both offshore and inshore angling techniques to that level..... I smell a fishy Rob Robin Howard��
A very chilled day and great to catch up with out friends who fish regularly and to meet a few new ones who I hope we see again, a real pleasure sharing time with you all today and Mrs Brigand is extremely pleased to have a few Bream in the fridge!
We do not have any full boat availability for this year but do have limited individual places for Cod, Bass, Pollock, Turbot, Bream & Tope so if you would like to join us availability can be viewed here www.brigandcharters.com
No photo’s today I’m afraid - I was too busy trying to keep pace with with Mark and his diabolical, underhand tricks (����) - besides, pretty sure you all will know what a Black Bream looks like��

Another fabulous day out in the deeps with a bunch of top chaps. I thought I would steal Paul Coventry report of the day (apologies Paul!), refreshing to have an anglers view of a days fishing with us instead of ours;
Catch report 29/5/21.
It's been a good days fishing. All of our guys caught. First stop was a bass mark then onto a bass wreck. Schoolies Initially but then a better stamp of fish around the 5lb mark saw several keepers. On again and we were into pollack. Again some smaller ones that were still mostly keepers but Ian Hamilton latched into and boated a 10lb plus fish , 10-4 rings a bell, only to be outdone by Andrew Kennedy with a 14lb 9oz PB. We then saw a couple of cod come on board....to Ian and Andrew again!
In all I guess around 20 keepers in the ice box and a nice sunny day afloat!
Thanks as always to Steve and Nick at Brigand Brighton .
Well done Andrew on his Pb Pollock and to those who took Bass, Cod & Pollock today - some excellent angling ����
Best wishes

Fantastic to be out on the water again after some pretty poor weather and great to
Welcome back Peter and his crew, always a pleasure sharing time with these guys.
Day started on a little inshore Bass hunt before heading offshore. Bumped into our resident Bass expert and mentioned that we wouldn’t be hanging around as we targeting Cod and couldn’t hang around. Rob picked up a nice Bass around 5lb and off we went. Pretty steady stat with a fish or two a drift and a good mix of Bass & Pollock, slack water and things slowed which signalled the time to move to the Cod wrecks. Some
beautiful prime Spring Cod boated and the odd Pollock as the tide built before heading home...... its great to be back at it��

Some nice Smoothounds off Ramsgate for now like this fine female at just under 10lb. Ayden landed this one on squid bait just as Robin landed a Thornback Ray. Both fish released. As the water warms up and the water clears we can look forward to Bass and Mackerel. With plenty of dates available give me a call
Let's go fishing. View Boats Page
