Fishing Report by Bob Marshall
on Duke IV (Ramsgate, Kent)

Report on-board Duke IV
Great fishing off Ramsgate for now with plenty of quality Smoothounds, Bass and Skate. The Mackerel have become a bit hit or miss with dirty water making life difficult. The Hounds have been mostly coming to live prawn which we are able to source here at Ramsgate. Whiting are starting to show now letting us know that winter is just around the corner, still hoping that a few Cod will show this year with October being the month when things happen. This is the time of year the large Bass can be expected although the 6lbers we have been catching make a fine meal. Still spaces available for whole boat or individual booking aboard Duke IV so give me a call and let's go fishing.

Report on-board Sea-Juicer
Went out on Sunday on Rob Hickin's Sea Juice. The plan was to do a days basing so on the way out we stopped to pick up some mackerel for live bait. Rob suggested that we put the anchor in until the tide was running well enough to drift for the bass. The 9 of us enjoyed a couple of hrs of general fishing and continuing to pick up live bai. Then it was time to go after what we were all after so up anchor and travel a further 4 miles out until we reached Robs selected spot. Over the next couple of hours we all caught our single bass to keep and returning a number of smaller hungry bass to fight on a different day. The bass were averaging around 4 to 5 lbs with the biggest weighing in at 8lb. We finished off we an hour of general ground fishing then set off for home all very satisfied with our days fishing. I can certainly highly recommend Rob he is a great skipper with a great sense of humour. Try his site for individual days or to hire his boat.

Report on-board Ocean Warrior 3
A fantastic day drift fishing with Dave Elliott on Ocean Warrior. Drifting the banks off of Brighton we have over 50 turbot and brill along with gurnards, ray, bream and mackerel. Most of the turbot were between 3lb and 6lb and the biggest brill was 4lb. We also had a 16lb undulate ray and some big mackerel to 3lb 8oz.
Dave and his crew man worked hard to find us the mackerel for bait and then the flats. A welcome cup of tea helped refresh us on the slack when the bites slowed down a little.
Can't wait to get out there again

Report on-board Brigand
Well - we left early, came back late, moved around the banks and put in the miles but it was not a great day by our standards. Just four Turbot landed in very trying conditions - Fishing a Spring tide, on the flood with a building Westerly was always going to be tough. On the upside; a cracking Tub Gurnard taken by Frank, more monster Mackerel, some beautiful Turbot and great company who I look forward to welcoming back in a couple of weeks for an improved outcome - you guys were great!

Report on-board Brigand
Been a while since we have been out and very pleased to report that we picked up where we had left off with Turbot all the way! Just 7 anglers onboard on a short trip but still managed to boat 14 Turbot to 7lb, a nice 6lb Brill & huge mackerel topping the 2lb mark. Everyone caught and particularly pleased that Peter's 70 year wait for a Turbot came to an end today.
If you want to get out for some quality Turbot fishing give me a call.
Best wishes

Report on-board Duke IV
Started the day with live Shrimp bait that we are able to get catching 4 Smoothounds to 7lbs. As the bite slowed we moved to the edge of the bank drifting with the tide for mackerel, although slow due to the misty water we caught about 20 along with couple of Bass.
With enough for bait we moved to the other side of the bank and fished for Skate landing 5 to 7lb and Terry caught a good Bass on mackerel chunk. A good day fishing catching the species we were after at each spot.We will put you on the fish, you can then catch em. Pic shows group shot with some of today's catch. View Boats Page
