Report on-board Duke IV
The past months fishing has been generally good with Skate being the most reliable species, up to 20 of these lovely fish in a day. Along with the Skate, Smoothound numbers are increasing and as the week's pass they will increase in size. Mackerel fishing is good when the water clears along with school Bass around the banks. Joule of the Belgium fiching club landed a fine fish of 6lb 8oz. Yesterday's trip was tough due to the persistent cold North wind we have been suffering but we ended the day with 6 Skate to 10lb 8oz along with Smoothounds, pout and the ever present doggies. Prospect's look good with improving weather and clear water forecast. Still some weekend dates available so come along and make the most of the quality fishing we are enjoying off Ramsgate now. Pic shows yesterday's Skate with the winter jackets needed in the cold wind.

Report on-board Gemini II
Went out with Dean again today, the 3rd June 2016. Very overcast and a bit choppy and not looking too promising. As usual Dean pulled it out of the bag and managed to get us on the fish, moving marks 7 or 8 times to search them out. We had turbot, bass, whiting, Pollock, pouting, plaice, dab, gurnard, mackerel, dogfish and a bunch of Sandeels. We even had a visit from UK Border force to make sure we weren't trying to better the country illegally. Nothing is too much trouble for this skipper, his boat is immaculate and he keeps the tea and coffee coming all day. Highly recommended

Fishing Report by Ian Dale

Report on-board Kelley's Hero Charters
Since I last blogged, Kelley's Hero has done a few trips. This included 2 wrecking trips, 1 bream trip and 1 with both due to the weather.
Whilst out wrecking we have managed to find some nice fish. It is a great feeling being able to report to you that the cod are certainly in. We thought maybe it was a fluke with the last blog. The last 2 wrecking trips has thrown out some nice Cod.
The first trip the weather was perfect and calm seas blessed our day. The fishing never really slowed down all day with around about 100 cod hitting the decks, and 20ish Pollock. The anglers certainly were going to sleep well that night.
The second wrecking trip was just as good however the weather wasn't as nice. Before going to bed the night before the weather forecast was brilliant. We woke up, got the boat ready, all the guys were ready for there day afloat. Once we got the wrecks, the tide was just starting to die down, and the chop started from there. It made for some uncomfortable fishing, however we stuck it out and had very similar results to the last trip. Ending up with very similar numbers of fish.
We decided that it was time to stay inshore and head for some bream, and we did just that. The sea was flat, the wind was light, and the sun was out, what more could we want. We had plenty of grounbait, and plenty of bites. The bream that were being landed were anything between 1 and a half lb, and 2lb 6oz. The species weren't as prolific as the last inshore trips however we ended up with a couple of thornback rays, endless amount of bream, with many returned, and a couple of smoothound.
So the weather forecast for Saturday was giving light winds again, with a little bit of rain. We don't mind the rain, so we set up another wrecking trip. We turned up to the boat in the morning with our anglers all there ready to go. We checked the forecast before we left, and it had changed ever so slightly. Not enough to stop us though. We headed out to the wrecks once again. However we only had 3 Pollock and 1 cod before the tide turned it got too choppy for us and we returned inshore to go and find some bream. After finding a few fresh mackerel we headed inshore and put the anchor down. After catching a few nice bream, we decided enough was enough for one week and we headed for the pub.

The smoothounds turned up in good numbers during May for some excellent fishing for the anglers aboard some days in excess of 40 hounds being caught & released the good majority being over 10lb although smaller tides did prove harder work but the off shore banks produced some nice size rays. Smoothounds should continue during June with more Undulate rays showing on the inshore Marks .
Nice to see the youngsters getting in on the action with young kody managing 9 fish in one trip no wonder his smile is from ear to ear.
JUNE dates still with spaces on 8th. 11th. 17th. 20th. or for a group bookings give me a call View Boats Page

Report on-board Kelley's Hero Charters
Booked a last minute trip on Kelleys Hero II, turned up early to a spotlessly clean boat. Set off in calm seas, cruising at 18-20 knots we were soon arriving at our target wreck. Skipper Ian gave me a good rundown on how the wreck lies in the tide, the size of the wreck, and where he thought the different species would be on the wreck.
First couple of drifts and I had two nice Pollock to sidewinder super slims, one around double figures and one about the 6 pound mark. The ebb tide slackened and the fishing went dead for half an hour until the flood started.
More advice from crew and I changed to a rubarb and custard shad. Next drift a nice 13 pound cod, followed by lots of cod being boated by all anglers while the flood was pushing hard. As the tide backed off the species turned back to Pollock and I had two more around double figures, before the cod switched back on.
Due to the BBC weather man lying again, it did get a bit rough, but Ian stuck at it and we boated some good fish. Run in to Portsmouth was smooth and fast, crew were great and helped me fillet my catch which needed a barrow to move it. I would recommend Ian Dale to anyone looking for a good days wrecking, great boat and crew. View Boats Page
