Report on-board Duke IV
The Belgium fishing club are in town for the week, fishing aboard Duke IV. Yesterday we landed 16 Hounds to 9lb, 8 Skate to 12lb 8oz along with a nice Bass.
View Boats Page
Today 18 Hounds along with 9 Skate. The Hounds have been caught on crab with the Skate preferring 2 yr old Mackerel f
chunks, how strange is that?
Great fishing making it worth the trip from Belgium. Some weekend date's available if you want some action.

Report on-board Duke IV
With spring comes a fresh run of fish, the Skate are all over our area and the Hounds are running, looking for the crab that are peeling right now.

We have been getting great catches recently on the very popular individuals trips with up to 15 Skate in a day along with Smoothounds, Whiting, Bass and the odd Codling.
Herring remains the most reliable bait for the Skate with crab being best for the Hounds although lugworm remains effective for all species, probably because the best of the fishing has been within 3 miles of land.
The Cod are now moving offshore and will settle on the wrecks feasting on the pouting etc, packing on the weight, we also will be hoping for a good run of Pollack this year, great fighting fish to compliment the Cod.
We will be looking to head offshore now to the wrecks and have space on the 28th May.

Report on-board Duke IV
Spring is finally upon us despite the cold easterly wind persisting. Herring shoals are arriving along with Skate and Bass. The Codling are starting to thin out as they move offshore. Once the weather settles the fishing should improve with the shore crab peel.

The fishing to date has been hit and miss, one day plenty to catch the next being quiet. This weekend we have found plenty of fish with Lee's group from Essex landing Skate to just under 9lb along with a mixed bag of doggies and Whiting.
The recently introduced protection for Bass and Skate will hopefully improve fish stocks giving us good fishing throughout the summer so dust off the rod's and let's go fishing!

Report on-board Duke IV
At last the weather has been good enough to get out and despite the conditions deteriorating throughout the day we manage a reasonable catch with Codling and some quality Whiting. There are lots of Herring passing through at the moment, this of course draws the Cod up in the water making them difficult to catch.
View Boats Page
Skate are arriving now also some big Bass being caught in the nets, again they are more interested in getting to wherever they are heading than feeding but if there, they are catchable.
Despite the cold wind, summer is around the corner, the crabs will be peeling and the Hounds will turn up along with Bass and Mackerel feeding on sandeels so lets make the most of this spring Cod run that should last through April when they will move offshore and settle on the wrecks hopefully giving us the best chance of Cod for some years.

Report on-board Skerry Belle
This will be our first full year with the Skerry Belle and one me and the crew John are really looking forward to. Skerry Belle is ready for a new season and has had many extras added for your comfort. As normal we will be catering for the inshore fishing, but we also have plans for some cracking offshore fishing. We will be targeting blonde rays, thornback rays, hounds during the spring. We will then be targeting tope, bass, and cod and pollock on the wrecks. Remember for any specialist trips, holiday makers, individuals and novices, please call me now for best tides. Hope to see you all soon onboard Skerry Belle, which is going to be a very exciting year. Tight Lines.
