The fishing just gets better out from Ramsgate. On today's trip Craigs group landed Skate to 10lbs, Bass, hounds, and cod along with some tasty Whiting. Lugworm is the bait for Cod, in large lumps so don't skimp on the bait or they just pass it bye. Herring have arrived replacing Mackerel as the bait for Skate. We were spoiled by the gorgeous weather today which helped the fishing. The Cod have arrived early this year and it looks like we are going to have a good winters fishing. The Skate are spread across the area, the strict quotas giving them protection are working and we are doing our bit by returning most of them we catch. Whiting numbers are up replacing the doggies as the most caught fish, the fillets l had this evening were superb, as good an eating fish as you will find so well worth keeping the bigger ones. Spaces still available for groups and individuals so dig out the winter jacket and come fishing. This winter looks like it could be the best fishing for many years with plenty of quality fish out there!

The inshore fishing around Ramsgate is great at the moment with plenty of Skate, Whiting and Cod being caught, still Smoothound and Bass being landed. Catches of Skate remain good with up to 12 being landed aboard Duke IV. The Cod fishing is still patchy although the good numbers of Cod that have turned up so early in the year must be a good omen, we are hoping that this winter will be the best Cod season for many years with fish up to 8lb on the cards. Bait will get harder to find as the winter makes digging more difficult and the top cod bait is large lug bait so preorder the worm to avoid disappointment.

Fishing Report by Roger Lennon
on Skerry Belle (Ramsgate, Kent)

Report on-board Skerry Belle
After a very successful Summer season on board Skerry Belle, we are now turning our attention to cod fishing around the North Foreland and Goodwin Sands. The first fish would be in the 4 - 8 lb bracket using local lugworm baits. There is still a chance of some very large Bass, and plenty of large channel Whiting which can sometimes top 3 - 4 lb. Thornback skate staying all year round, the Autumn and Winter months can easily be our best months, with over 100 fish a trip being not uncommon.
From January onwards the larger fish arrive, mainly falling to whole squid baits, live baits, and cuttlefish. Fish up to 20lb between January and March.
This is also a great time for the Spurdogs and large female Thornbacks. These are just a few of the fish that turn up off our shores of Ramsgate, but you are also likely to catch in plenty of Dabs, Whiting, Pouting, Dogfish, Pollock, and Plaice.
Please call the skipper now on 07805 250 427 for best tides and availability.

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

Report on-board Duke IV
Superb fishing off Ramsgate for now with good size Bass, Skate and Smoothound. The Belgium fysching club enjoyed their week landing quality fish every day aboard Duke IV. They topped off their catches with Skate to 11lb, with Bass and Hounds to 8lb. Most fish came to lugworm with Skate preferring the Mackerel chunks. We have been plagued with dirty water over the last few weeks that has made Mackerel fishing difficult although the water ia clearing now giving us a better chance with the feathers, along with the Mackerel a few Bass and gurnard kept it interesting. Now is the best time for large Bass, a waiting game although the Hounds and Whiting fill in the gaps. The odd Codling starting to show up so fingers crossed for this years cod fishing that should start in October and go through the winter. The Skate fishing can be good throughout the winter along with Whiting keeping the angler's busy. I like to try the wrecks in September for the Cod that build up prior to coming inshore for the crab and small Whiting that make up there diet through the winter. I have spaces left on a wreck trip on Wed 9th September.
So plenty of action to be had with space and date's available to book Duke IV
