Report on-board Brigand
Another cracking day out here aboard Brigand with a nice of mix of Bass, Pollock, Codling, Gurnard, our jumbo Mackerel and of course Turbot. Fozzie was top rod today with 4 Turbot which included this beautiful 9lb 8oz specimen���� Fozzie.
With fishing like this I might just be tempted to lay on another trip this Friday.
Best wishes

Report on-board Sea-Juicer
Bit of a challenging week Massive tides with steady breezes made it hard work , along with that the mackerel decided to disappear for a few days , still managed to find a good few species .
Undulate Rays . Spotted Rays Small eyed . Thornbacks . Smoothounds, Tope ,Congers ,Bream Mackerel , Scad & of course the obligatory dogfish although only few.
Once again the the undulates gave anglers some new PBs as normal they all got released to fight another day
Heaviest one boated was just over the 18lb & a cracking fish .
I still have a few odd individual spaces available in August but boat fills up quickly as i am still restricted in numbers due to covid View Boats Page

Report on-board Brighton Lure Boat
Today’s Brighton Sea Fishing adventure was with George ( Dad ) Jack eldest and Harry, Dad and Harry returning from last years adventure, which wasn’t the greatest, so I had a challenge and a plan but noticed Jack was rather quiet, I found out he has a fast Motorcycle and had a track day, he crashed at around 180 miles hour, hence he was feeling a bit down in the dumps, hopefully, some Brighton Sea Fishing on the Brighton Lure boat would change that.
Only to be met with a cross swell, which I’ve not seen for a while, thinking could make the drifts difficult. I find doing a couple of test drifts gives you a good measure of what to expect from wind, swell, and tide.
The 4th drift and our first fish of the day, Harry is into a Bass, around 2.5lb, the SPEED on the drift increased from .8 up to 1.5 in 25 minutes. Not deterred by this, we continued on and we Jack in next, also camera shy, but his wrasse of near 3lb gave him a good thump, and fight, this started 90 minutes of fish to the net on every drift.
Harry again into another bass, not a monster but good fun, Jack also hits into a bass, what of George, he got involved with Red Gunard, and a jumbo mackerel, as for the skipper, small bass and small pollock, Harry in the meantime continued with mackerel and Brighton Caught Pollock, Jack again into Mackerel and a lost bass.
Changing Winds
Then an hour before high tide WE headed to another reef with a few takes plus more jumbo mackerel, as with previous days the Worthing Sea Breeze which affects Brighton Sea Fishing arrived around 12.30, that was our trip over with, perhaps the wind farm extension starting to gear up might change this phenom, we wait to see.
They took back to Hampshire Pollock and mackerel for tea, and feeling of well being of having great morning although Jack and Harry wanted there Fast Food Fix.
Great to see people returning and thoroughly enjoying their fishing trip, there back in September for another trip out, Georges turn for a silver., Lets hope he hits into big one. View Boats Page

Report on-board Brighton Lure Boat
I now believe meteorologists use a crystal ball and a wind feather , to predict the days ahead, gentle breeze they said, 15 knot easterly we got!!
Thanks to Ronnie , first venture out on the BLB , was disappointing but not without small reward.
Bass seem very sceptical to temperature changes and wind direction, enough of the Micheal Fish weather report, fish were the hardest to find.
We were met with silty clarity and weed up to 4 miles out in some places, the easterly started to gather some pace and I believe turned the silver bars off, Ronnie managed to save the session with around 2.5lb Silver, we had takes but not the normal aggressive attack.
Nice to be out, but bass stuffed with spiders , we need the blow for them to work it all off and get back to the new normal!
I’m sure we will see Ronnie back another time soon, View Boats Page

Report on-board Brighton Lure Boat
The sun shone on the good and patient today for the Brighton Lure Boat, first 90 minutes was hard work due to very keen chilly north wind only a few knocks, thankfully the wind dropped off, and temperatures rise, and so did the action.
We ventured out a little further, due to the speed the Brighton Lure Boat produces on virtually any sea we arrived within minutes, we were rewarded some great sport too, Geoff first into a great silver, around 3.5lb, then the Skipper had a couple of schoolies.
Back around again over the fishing spot again, Geoff shouts fish on, the fish stayed deep, me from experience this was something special, he had fish on for around 5 minutes never seen a rod thumped so much, At one point I thought I would have to wipe his brow, his concentration was immense, from the depths of the clear sea a monstrous silver emerged which fought all the way 7-8ft down she took one last dive and sadly won the battle, estimate poundage and size 12-15lb over 130cm.
Geoff needed 5 minutes due to the immense tension enormity of the fight took out of him, I did feel his pain! On the next drift across Geoff again hits into smaller fish landed and sent back to the depths.
The wind had changed over past 20 minutes which made for a strange U shaped drift, Geoff not deterred by the earlier loss had yet another great silver, photo taken and the bearded smile says it all.
We continued on till the session came to a close, with another 2lber landed and put back as was all the fish caught today, it’s thanks to Geoff and the Brighton Lure Boat for a great morning and 7 up for the morning. View Boats Page

Brighton Lure Boat The John Wayne Adventure
The week continued as did the weather, for the Brighton Lure Boat, we had John and Wayne out on there first fishing adventure for nearly 40 years, on holiday in Brighton for the week, they fancied a sample of catching Sussex silvers.
We were meet with a swell which was the aftermath of previous days afternoon breeze! So with guidance in gentle casting technique, they soon got into the swing of getting the lure away to a good distance.
Our first stop for the Brighton Lure Boat
Was the rocky reefs, a popular spot for Brighton Sea Fishing and Brighton Charter Fishing. Wayne had the first fish of the morning, around 2lb, John joined in but his dropped at the net. We continued for another hour, a few takes but with the very little tide, this didn’t help the fish hitting lures, mouthed and dropped.
We continued on to another outcrop of rocks, and within 10 minutes of the drift and the tide had started to flood, the wind had dropped off, we had action-packed hour more ways than one, Wayne was in again to the silvers, we took a photo taken and striking resemblance to a blues brother, think it must be his ear to ear smile, John was camera shy although he did manage 3 fish as did Wayne, John he was ok catching but didn’t want the glory for the world to see.
The breeze was on its way in which put paid to continue, safety first and forecast. In total 9 Silvers 1 wrasse, no monsters but great banter, all in all, another great time to be fishing in Sussex on the Brighton Lure Boat. View Boats Page

Report on-board Brighton Lure Boat
On to Sunday and young James booked a 3-hour taster session, his smile on the photo says it all about the experience he had with us, we were met with boats from all angels heading our the marina, so first stop was small wreck offshore which produced a couple of schoolies, the first for James.
We headed back inshore hoping to catch the rising tide only to be met with weed clumps. As time was running out suggested we try a couple of other close inshore areas, which produced a couple more schools and wrasse. All in all with the weekender boating/floating fraternity taking over the sea waves, not bad a count up 4 fun time schoolies and 1 wrasse.
He thanked Brighton Lure Boat after the event and told me about his last water experience which totally shocked me, he’s booking again soon and will ask him if we can let the world know about his last experience with seawater. View Boats Page

Brighton Lure Boat The Start Of a Busy Week 13 July 2020
The Start of a busy week what was about to a busy week we started off with Arron Just having got into lure fishing this was going to be a real treat, well that was the idea, left the marina around 6.15 headed south to a small wreck. No joy, this was about to change, we moved 3 miles west, and I was hopeful of full-on action, didn’t disappoint.
First into the fish Arron with very long skinny silver, next up my turn, at this point, I changed to a metal 4th pull up, really good fish and size.
With one eye on the forecast, we kept going, had a couple of drop-offs, but a mad 15 minutes saw another 3 silvers, wrasse and tub gurnard to the boat
Amongst this a couple of pouts, one of must had just eat stamped on its belly, single bass followed the metal with the pout as the decoy, we managed small video of the exploits, good to see how the bass actually attack. . . .
The forecast wind arrived around midday, by then we were on way in, a brilliant morning spent with a guy who has a real taste for the lure action. View Boats Page

Report on-board Brigand
An interesting week before wind stopped play - the banks have started to come alive and plenty of variety out there, best day we boated 14 Turbot, also lost the biggest Tub Gurnard we have ever seen at the net (est. at around 7lb) and the first ever Monkfish we have landed. Only a tiddler and safety returned but great to see such a unique fish. Our jumbo Mackerel have been present in numbers, 45cm has not been unusual on last weeks trips and at that size a tremendous fish for the table.
We have had to cancel our plans to fish our way over to France this weekEnd but still have 3 more scheduled for 2020 so fingers crossed Weather will be kinder to us on those. View Boats Page
