Report on-board Skerry Belle
Well what a wonderfull day treated to a glorius autumn sunrise at Ramsgate Kent On the Skerry Belle Charter Boat with Roger Lennon and a mixed crew of new faces and all of us keen to get onto the magnificent fish that this area offers. First mark targeting skate using a basic Portland rig with 1.5m trace rigged pennel style and two 6/0 Aberdeen hooks, bait were chunks of herring nothing fancy just cut the head off and cut into three chunks and discard the tail. First drop a small ray, then another along the boat and a codling not a bad start. More rays and the usual dogs kept us active until the tide died away and so did the fish. So a move to deeper water and see if we could find some Cod, with slackwater and no tide it took a while to kick off and the rays started coming thick and fast, David Zippy Long after a lot of effort earlier started landing some nice size rays and similar so did others and I was getting a fish a chuck virtualy. I put a second uptide rod out and that saw plenty of action with both rods into fish at one stage. So I can claim the honours as top rod catch wise and heaviest fish at 11.5lbs oh and a new PB for me in the time it took me to eat two bacon sanwiches on a boat when inconsiderate fish kept jumping all over my baits !!! as to Cod well I suppose I will just have to go fishing Again to hit those ... Bummer Eh!

Report on-board Ocean Warrior 3
Now that Autumn has arrived the Turbot and Brill fishing is now starting to slow up. Although over the last couple of weeks we have still seen some nice sized fish on the open ground marks and some good sized Conger showing on the wrecks.
We are now looking to the beginning of the Winter Cod fishing season, although with the odd wrecking trip sneaking in there. There are a few Cod starting to show already on the inshore ground marks.
We now have our tide tables for 2015 and are now taking bookings. There are a few weekend dates available at the moment, so get yourselves booked in early as the weekend dates are going quickly already. View Boats Page

Report on-board Emma Jayne
McLaren boys came out today and we decided to go bass hunting. The tide wasn't quite right when they boarded the boat so we went and did a bit of bottom fishing to start with where the boys brang up plaice, squid, cuttle fish and two good sized bream. We then went on to set up all the rods with lures ready for the tide to be just right to fish for the bass. In no longer than 5 minutes of drifting the boys had already caught 5 beautiful keepers for their dinner. The rest of the trip was spent fishing drifting the same piece of ground and the boys went home with a cracking haul from the days fishing with everyone taking home at least 5 bass each.
The bass are definitely in and anyone looking to go can book on the Emma Jayne with various weekend and week day dates available. Lets make the most of this brilliant bass fishing while we can. Call Colin on 07779 654 022 to book. View Boats Page

Well who's a Happy Chappy then !!! Great day On the Skerry Belle Charter Boat with skipper Roger Lennon and John Barnes plus a great crew David Zippy Long and weather for shorts and T shirts in October how good is that. I was on this trip to hone my uptiding skills and hopefully christen a new uptide Bass rod and some new uptiding weights, well I couldn't have asked for a better result than this 7lb+ Bass and everything well and truly came together so well pleased. Got to be honest I can't take all the credit for catching this fish as John showed me a baiting option for the pennel rig in a string of yellowtail lug and strips of squid on each hook so a joint effort ! However It's All Mine and I even tagged it just in case anyone wanted to run off with it !!! Great day with many other fish taken amongst the crew, Whiting, Codling some nice size too plus Dogs, Pouts. Image taken by Roger on his New Sony Xperia phone and in landscape format so when you catch quality fish on his boat you even get top Quality Happy Snaps for your albums how good is that.

Fishing Report by Steve Harris
on Dentex II (Chatham, Kent)

Report on-board Dentex II
Hi Guys
DENTEX II is now here and available for hire.
Well guys, a bit of a shock. I had ‘The Dentex’ all sprayed up, looking great and ready for the season ahead. I got her back in the water and things all changed.
I made an offer on a new boat including a PX for ‘The Dentex’ and it was all systems go. Within a week I had a another cracking boat. I’ve decided to call her DENTEX II. I’ve had all the logos done and she’s looking great. The web site will soon be reflecting this superb craft but if you want to see her go onto the Facebook page by taking the link from here.
The boat is a Portland 10 which is 35ft long with a beam of 3.7metres, so there is loads of fishing area and there’s seating under cover for anglers to get out of the bad weather. She has 2 engines which are caterpillar 300hp giving a top speed of 29 knots and with an easy cruising speed loaded up of 18 knots. So less time in traveling to the fishing grounds just more time fishing – happy days.
Since I have had her the fishing has just carried on as before with the ‘Dentex’ with lots of fish coming on board.
This season is looking great with lots of skate, whiting, doggies, bass and also there are a great number of codling about 1lb to 3lb at the moment so the season is really looking good.
All in all for ‘Dentex Charters’ things are looking bright with lots of new customers coming on board to enjoy a great day out in comfort and style.
Weekends for the rest of the year are almost full so be quick to get in but midweek sailings are ok.
Evening trips are getting busy with doggies and whitings there and maybe the codlings will push up the Medway soon.
All the best

Report on-board Ocean Warrior 3
This month the weather has been pretty good to us and we have managed to get a few good trips in.
There have been some good sized Turbot and Brill around, along with some good sized Conger on the wrecks. Andy Matthews had the biggest eel this month at 83lb 6oz, caught on a Mackerel flapper.
They had 100 eels over 2 days of fishing. All the eels were returned to sea alive to give other anglers some good sport fishing and to conserve the stocks of Conger.
There were also some good Black Bream showing on the wrecks with the odd Cod and Ling showing as well.
We are just beginning to find some Cod and Whiting showing on the inshore ground, so throughout October we will move inshore for the winter Cod season.

Report on-board Duke IV
Lots of Skate coming through our area with some onboard getting up to 5 in a day. Taylors group had l3 yesterday along with a nice Hound while todays group found the fishing a little harder ending the day with 3 Skate. The favourite bait remains the herring although many taking small squid baits.
Along with the Skate some nice Whiting and School Bass. The Cod are coming in with lug/squid cocktails the bait of choice.
The warm weather is keeping the water temps high for this time of year although. The mackerel seem to have all but left our area now, with herring
starting to show on the sounder, making them a fine bait for most species. Lots of small Codling around this summer so hopefully they will pack on some weight and give us good fishing throughout the winter along with the Skate that stay around all year.
Pic shows Taylors group with a good mixed catch. View Boats Page
