Saturday
The forecast was for good weather and a Birthday Boy (Jay) on board and regulars Malc and John, the plan in place was completely thrown in file 13 (bin), Slow Pitch Jigging being the way we’re going to fish.
We proceed to an area where I’ve been successful in previous visits, not a sniff, so we moved on to the next area in search of Silvers, and found in abundance the tide running at around .7-8 of a knot we had a good chance, Slow Pitch Jigging being the order of the day, and it worked big time.
The first drop down we had all rods into a fish, Jay was over the moon with his first boat caught bass, followed by John and Malc quickly followed by the skipper.
The next 90 minutes was pretty frenetic, with over 25 fish boated, biggest was 7lb 9oz which was returned and with numerous drop-offs in the process, everyone on board managed the 2 bag limit, with 2 fish in excess of 4lb plus, some great fishing, was had and the move onwards was decided for us, the weather crept on us and decided to change for the worst, the tide running at 2plus knots time to move horrible raindrops not pleasant situation for anyone.
We moved inshore for some fun on the next target species was Mackerel and Herring, we managed just one of those Mackerel not many but enough for the Barbie.
All in all the persuasion to go deeper paid dividends and a great 4 plus hours was well worth the effort.

At last a real weather window and well worth waiting for, The Brighton Lure Boat has had busy two days, with some fine catches.
Friday’s Session
We had the pleasure of Chris/Robin & Bruno,
the weather was not at its greatest to start with a crosswind tide, which was difficult to manage to start with, the plan was to have a mixed day ie, target species was 5, we managed 7, 3 first time fish on board, and the main target not a sniff of a silver( Bass).
The firsts first, 2 Dabs, Herrings, and a Grey Gurnard, along with Plaice, Tub Gurnard, Mackerel and few Tings are thrown into the mixed session, the top rod was Bruno, followed by Chris, but robin had the best fish of the day went to Robin, with 2lb 5oz Plaice, a great day with more banter than the comedians could throw at a stag do!!

Report on-board Duke IV
With water temperatures staying low it's the Skate that are keeping us busy with some good size females that we return and a few male fish that make the best eating. Loads of Doggies along with Whiting and Dabs making up the numbers. When the wind comes from the south things should change with more Bass and Smoothounds. Plenty of dates available including weekends. Best Skate to Sam from Ramsgate who won the money today with the best Skate around 8lb. These 2 fiesty males came along at once with both returned to fight another day.

Report on-board Brighton Lure Boat
We have had over the past 2 days completely different days, a lot of miles for a small reward and fewer miles for better results, to me the charter business is all about ensuring the client is given the best opportunities to catch, be it in 5 metres or 50 metres of water, the resulting feeling for them is the same, and target species achieved.
Today we ventured out and the target was Silvers, and this resulted, the good return of 28 in a 3-hour session, with an experienced pike fisherman aboard and accomplished chef to add into the mix we were in for fun-filled morning, and not forgetting the lemon drizzle cake Ryan produced halfway thru the session to boost our energy levels.
The SPJ (slow pitch jigging) took a while for them both to get the technique but both did well, Ryan was first in with good fish, followed by Lee, the drifts started to become difficult with wind against tide.
The Cheetha Marine boat soon got to grips and so did I with the right approach, the best drift produced 2 great fish (5 in total) yours truly with a 3.5lb and Ryan best fish of the day 6lb 10oz, Lee was getting to grips with the new style of fishing and hit into a good fish and landed, he said that’s his dinner sorted for the week, Ryan had another 3lb fish and that was our morning as the wind started to get up.
A great morning out with the banter and cake and silvers ta boot, think we see both back very soon.

Report on-board Brighton Lure Boat
We had a venture out today into deep water, the Brighton Lure Boat with its superb handling and speed we were there in no time.
What’s new, SPJ, Slow Pitch Jiggin, looks like your Mackie bashing but we’re not. Using differently designed metal lures, It’s not rocket science just a different way to catch, and that we did, couple of wrecks were like the Sunday car boot at top of the marina bit congested!!
Malcolm was first in with a stunning fish new PB for Blurb , 10lb 9oz, next up yours truly with a 9lb plus fish.
Forecast looking good next week, few spaces left to get on board ring 07541 645488 View Boats Page

Report on-board Brigand
What a strange day. We cast-off in the midst of a snow shower under heavy skies and ended the day in the gentlest of breezes with the Sun on our back ..... and experienced everything in between! Wind was stronger than forecast offshore and with a big tide that just amplified the sea state, so for a while it was difficult fishing and rewards were just not worth the challenging conditions. A change of plan, course alteration and we were in business! Always great to see anglers battling doubles and we had 3 or 4 of those today, also dropped a couple but we will pick them up on Thursday��
Paul and Andrew picked up last minute places aboard today’s trip and both landed double figure fish, think Paul had a couple.
Crew, well what can I say, all lovely chaps and a huge thank you for your company today, always lovely to catch-up with those that fish regularly with us and I’m sure we will be seeing more of Paul & David in future.
Highlight of the day....... The fantastic doubles and of course Bob’s Bakewell tarts!!
We have 1 space available this Thursday for wrecking so if would like a go at these hard fighting Pollock on the offshore wrecks just get in touch.
Best Wishes
