Report on-board Skerry Belle
After a very hectic summer season with some great fishing onboard we now turn our attention to the autumn and winter season. Cod have already turned up,(see photo) the autumn bass will start migrating south and this is where they feed big for there journey to warmer waters. Fish can easily exceed double figures so now is your chance for that new pb. Thornbacks will start feeding heavily along with channel whiting, dabs and spurdogs, all turning up around the Goodwins. I think autumn is my best fishing season with the crisp mornings, nice cuppa and bacon sarnie whilst heading to the fishing grounds.

Fish Here There and Everywhere, Brighton Fishing 22 August 2020
View Boats Page
Tuesday 18th- 23rd The week’s weather was stunning for some Brighton Fishing with the Brighton Lure Boat, with the boat booked out every day, With a number of challenges set by my fishing crews, and Father & Sons day, a week to look forward to . . .
Father and Son Onboard the Brighton Lure Boat
Tuesday, Jack & Paul This proved rather challenging with the neap tides, bright sunshine, anticipation was boundless, first up had a couple of guys from Twickenham, inshore areas can be difficult when there’s not much tide, as skipper we have to make it happen, and with first drop-offs then Jack hit into a schoolie 3 in total for him but we managed to find a few fish for Paul But no silver for him, over the 4-hour session. Mackerel, Gunards, Wrasse and 3 Schoolie Bass.
Another Family Adventure Sea Fishing With Brighton Lure Boat
On Wednesday we had Amiz, Theo, and Marcus Father and son Day talking to Marcus he is private secretary to Priddie Patel, that was enough politics in one sentence for me, as the previous day weather stunning for some Brighton Fishing on the Brighton Lure Boat.
An early start was required, the fish again proved tough to find but tracking them on the sounder always helps the situation, mackerel were in abundance but we needed silvers to get the excitement level up, which duly happened on the popular inshore mark, The schoolies although small proved fun and all 3 guys went home happy, also caught Gurnards Mackerel.UPCOMING INDIVIDUAL SPACES ONBOARD Brighton Lure Boat

Saturday morning 3 hour Taster Session
we were greeted with overcast and dull conditions, First aboard was, Conner & Ben, bestie friends form the Midlands on a weekend visit to Brighton, both course fishers,we ventured out on to the glass sea, explained how we use the lures, and the actions they produce, lure and loaded we started the adventure, Firstly I was not surprised by there casting method for a couple of lads just turned 16 years old, and willingness to learn , we dipped the lures in to the offshore reefs which proved hard work, a quick move to another area, and we found fish, Conner hooked a lovely bass around 4lb, Ben was getting takes, possible cuttlefish which proved to be a bit of nuisance all morning, in the end, 3 bass landed and returned, and happy lads went back to Leicester, I’m sure we will see them again very soon.UPCOMING INDIVIDUAL SPACES ONBOARD Brighton Lure Boat

First Codling For Brighton Lure Boat, Caught with Family Duo, Sussex Sea Fishing
View Boats Page
Next up Father and son, Roger and Harry are onboard the Brighton Lure Boat The neap tides and the sunny weather can either turn the fish on the feed or switch off, again as previous days Mackerel were coming to the boat easily, it was just a case of finding the fish and what there interested in.
Moved slightly offshore to an area that had produced and I was proved right, a couple of drop-offs and then Harry’s rod was hit solid, possible Ray, nope a fine 3.5lb codling which duly went into the oven I’m told for supper along with some jumbo Mackerel, this was the only trip that didn’t produce bass, 5-6 drop-offs and possibly the neap tide, tomorrow’s another day . . . But a first Codling for Bright Lure Boat, and smiles all round.UPCOMING INDIVIDUAL SPACES ONBOARD Brighton Lure Boat

Thursday Roger & Martin, We were met with a stunning mirror sea to fish the Brighton Fishing waters and 2 seasoned anglers on board, the task set neither had caught a bass could we deliver, well after pass couple of days. I was hopeful, neap tide slightly increase in height, again a first happened for BLB, whilst using the slow jig, Roger says fish on, slight bend in the rod, around 1lb plaice!! Then both had there the first cuttlefish, but we wanted Silvers and then, Martin had successfully captured his first bass, plus mackerel and Gurnards and cuttlefish. Roger already having the plaice, never happened before the last cast of the session and he hooks into his first-ever bass, the smile says it all. They went with mackerel for dinner and I’m sure to see them again sUPCOMING INDIVIDUAL SPACES ONBOARD Brighton Lure Boat

Sea Fishing The Bank Holiday The 1st Of Many! 3 September 2020
View Boats Page
The Bank Holiday Sea Fishing adventure Lived up to its reputation of being a hot and sunny day, an early start sees our regular fisher Dave and Brian, the sea was like a mirror with a small swell, as previous trips to the first mark proved the timing is right and you can get into the fish.
Like previous trips, Dave was first in, and the bass safely returned, again we experienced drop-offs at least three within space of 5 minutes, they just seemed to be mouthing the tails of the lures and dropping. Brian had a hard take and we good fish on coming to the boat, one last dive, the bass threw the hook, he mentioned where he fish’s they only get Thornback rays.
I was determined he would catch his first Bass Sea Fishing onboard the Brighton Lure Boat, all the while the time slipping away Dave has another 2 good fish in 15 minutes, couple photos, and back they went to fight another day.
Brian still plugin away hits into a Tub gurnard his first fish of the day and not his last, checking the sounder out all was quiet, so we moved offshore to a wreck, Fish showing as in previous reports but nothing doing.
Sea Fishing The Reefs With Brighton Lure Boat
The last 30 minutes moved inshore to a reef, again was hard work, personally believe the day before winds had ruined the clarity, we carried on, and last cast saloon, not for the first time Brian has his first not big but it’s the thrill and the experience he was after.
With 3 more Brighton Charter Fishing trips planned for the Brighton Lure Boat for the week, it looks like another hard week was aheadUPCOMING INDIVIDUAL SPACES ONBOARD Brighton Lure Boat

Brighton Lure Boat Blow Away Monday Blues

Our first sailing is with Dave Arthur, a great supporter of Brighton Lure Boat, we motored on down east to few marks which have been producing some quality fish, with the sea state we moved out to a wreck off Saltdean, having speed like we have over 30kts we were onto the area in no time at all.
Brighton‘a seas can throw up the odd anomaly now and again , we were hoping for some good bass fishing, that’s not how it turned out.
Dave was first in , quickly followed by me , both bass 2/3lb great fun on lite line and gear, we retraced our trail over the area, and Dave’s rod was hit ferociously with line being stripped, he said don’t think this a bass!! How right he was !! 11lb 4oz Pollock!! We continued on and as the day grew so did the wind's which put paid to anymore fish , it was fantastic morning, 4 Species , 5 Bass,Pollock,Shad and Dave’s first mackerel and Pollock of the year!!!UPCOMING INDIVIDUAL SPACES ONBOARD Brighton Lure Boat
