Report on-board Brighton Lure Boat
Sunday mornings , are for lay ins, and w v ith the afternoon session cancelled due to the wind, Brighton Lure Boat had an early start, and after recent blow hopefully the Bass would show up.
Mick kicks off the busy week ahead for Brighton Lure Boat, meeting at crack of dawn we headed out, very overcast and rather grimy sea and rain!!
Shore Lure Catcher to Brighton Lure Boat Catcher
Mick, I found out fished for England fly team at Rutland water, he found this rather stressful and decided to give up and started lure fishing from Shoreham beach where he had success.
He mentioned he was struggling to catch a descent Bass , I said he will catch fish, a big statement to make with rain coming down, fish moving on the surface, and nothing showing on the sounder!
Brighton Lure Boat Experience Mission Accomplished !
We moved down to a spot which normally produces, we weren’t disappointed, Mick first into a fish and a broad smile said it all, we had long drift under the cliffs, with fish showing and baitfish being driven to the top, by Bass & Mackerel, I was hopeful for another feast. Mick into his second fish of the morning, and coupled with 4 drop-offs, we continued our drift. . .
Brighton Lure Boat smart move!
We moved out to a wreck and within minutes Mick’s rod is hit , his 4th for the day, and Brighton Lure Boat seventh and last, the wind had picked up but the sun shined and all in a great morning for a first timer on the Brighton Lure Boat
I’m sure we see Mick again very soon . . . .

Colin’s Bass-tastic Thursday on Brighton Lure Boat! 13 September 2020
Our first trip out on Brighton Lure Boat was with Aaron and Colin, Aaron is becoming a regular lure man with us, Colin having travelled from Oxford and first time out with us and having 4 previous bookings cancelled we new we had to get on the fish for him. He was use to using 20lb class rods and metal booms and Red Gills, which we use the weighted version.
Brighton Lure Boat has taught us to be patient in our approach when we have new guys on board, within minutes Colin was onto his first Bass and the day proceed well.
We headed out and met with a big swelling sea, due to the previous winds, forecast was for it to settle, we first arrived on a wreck with fish showing on the sounder as was very hopeful, and first in was Aaron with a small Bass , followed by Mackerel and small Pollock, Colin joined in with Bass.
Skippers decision to move closer to shore was the right one, with tide building and bait fish showing the chance of something descent was high. Colin is first in with stunner of a female, weighed on the boat just over 5lb, he said made it worthwhile Just catching this and wasn’t bothered if he didn’t catch anything else…….Well that didn’t happen, Aaron in to another Bass, his 4th of the day.
Colin had one more Bass , and wanted some Mackerel, which the Brighton seas gave him, The Bass count a new record for a single session for Brighton Lure Boat 12, 4 each was the score count, Colin’s day ended with him taking 1 Bass and Mackerel back up the M23 to Oxford. View Boats Page

Pirates Spotted On The Brighton Seas 3 September 2020
We had the great honor of La Barbe Bleue, join us for some lure fishing on the Brighton Seas. For those not knowing your French, La Barbe Bleue translates to Blue Beard. He is also known as Simon, top gardener, and keeper of Brighton Marina, he’s the guy that makes the Marina look colorful.
We thankfully had great weather on the Brighton Seas for the first few hours and was hopeful of good return as of the previous day. Well, the silvers didn’t disappoint, back to where yesterday’s feast happened, and the first cast yours truly was straight into a bass, quickly followed by Simon. He was well chuffed that 10 minutes in we were 2 on the board already. The next cast he hits into another Bass, which was landed, photo opportunity kissed and put back, could this be another brilliant day.
Chasing The Bass and Mackerel Into the Reefs of the Brighton Seas
The Brighton Lure Boat moved west on the Brighton Seas to another reef where I had success earlier in the week. We positioned up and the first drift produced another good fish, Which didn’t disappoint. Simon all the time getting takes even on the drop once I showed him a small technique which he hadn’t seen before. The sounder was showing well with baitfish, and we had around 5/6 shoals of mackerel driving than to the surface and making the sea boil. I did wonder if this put the bass off our tiny lures, we had a couple more fish.
The breeze started to increase and our sunny day became overcast dull and grey. Which for some reason made the fish disappear the score count 7 landed 2 lost at the net and 5 drop-offs.
Brighton Lure Boat This Week
For the last three days over 20 Bass caught and all were returned, If anyone is lucky enough to catch the Bass that has a hook and Black Minnow in its mouth please let me know! View Boats Page

Simply The Best, 10 Of The Best. Brighton Sea Fishing 1 September 2020
A busy week ahead for some Brighton Sea Fishing and first up today returning for a second run on the Brighton Lure Boat, Theo & Izzy, both course anglers, and now very keen lure anglers, last time out on the Brighton Lure Boat we had stunning weather along the Brighton Coast, with the neap tide, optimistic for today’s weather and tide we were hopeful the Brighton Seas would produce a bounty.
We moved out of the Brighton Marina to met with a bit of swell and sunshine, the two lads were in deep conversation about Brighton Sea Fishing and the morning ahead, The Brighton Lure Boat had to stop due to the enormity of the shoal which showed on the sounder, we followed this for a few minutes only for it to disappear as quickly has it had shown.
They say, football is a game of 2 halves, our first 90 minutes was pretty dull hardly anything showing only a few takes but nothing concrete, so we moved out further and the next 90 minutes was full-on, Theo was first to catch, his words I think “I have something!”
Well a stonking first Brighton Bass for him, this was what I was hoping for a constant stream of takes and fish. Izzy was next, with me at the same time, that’s a first for me, who gets netted first, Izzy in the net. Followed by mine, quick dual photo of the catches, and back they went. Our count for the morning or the second half was 4, with Theo having the best fish of the day, the baitfish were abundance plus some topwater action by Bass munching happily around the gulls.
An hour in and our count is up to 6 with 4 drop-offs, 35 minutes left on the clock could we get to double figures, Our next drift around Izzy into a fish, then Theo seconds later also hits into another silver. Again who gets the net, Theo landed, quickly followed by Izzy’s fish.
Tick, Tock For Brighton Sea Fishing
Time running out could we make 10 fish in total, that was the challenge, and yes achieved with the last cast of the day, on the score count Izzy 4 Theo 2 yours truly chipped in with 4 as well.
The hard work put in by the boys and listening paid handsomely. Well done and good luck in your college year ahead. View Boats Page

Report on-board Duke IV
The birds are working and the Bass are feeding. 3 good Bass today along with some Schoolies and a few Mackerel showing again with the water clearing.
The Smoothound fishing is still wide open with around a dozen today to 11.5 lb.
Skate numbers are increasing with many fish on the banks, we were due to go there but the Bass and Hounds kept us busy in the deeper water.
As usual Ramsgate is the place to be for top fishing opportunities with Duke IV to keep you amongst the fish.
