Had a great year on Dawn Tide Skippered by Mark lots of different species and a few Personal Bests, our Bass season was awesome only keeping permitted amount. Because of Covid Restrictions I often hired the boat or with my friend Andy. Mark always is helpful with rigs or bait suggestions. Finished off the year with 2 nice Skate for the freezer. Looking forward to 2021 fishing .
Skippers Reponse: Thanks colin well done mate You put the effort and the time in and its paid off. I must say it took me a while to shape you up but theres no stopping you on them bass now !!see you 2021

Been fishing with Mark and our regular crew on a monthly basis all seasons for well over ten years now. We wouldn't go with anyone else from the Crouch. A fine young skipper keen to make the day a good one for everyone aboard. I have listened and learned from his knowledge of the Estuary waters. I've met some great long time fishing friends along the way too. See you next month Captain Peters.

A great session aboard the Dawntide 2 with our regular local Skipper Mark Peters. We were out to celebrate our oldest members 75th birthday doing what we enjoy most with lots of banter throughout the day. COLIN aka SANTA also won the Pot for the heaviest catch of the many fish and 7 species caught on the day. All returned safely. BBQ cheeseburgers and Hot Dogs for Lunch and Birthday cake for afternoon tea. A perfect day for Colin. Thanks for everything you do for our crew Mark. Much appreciated.
Skippers Reponse: Top day !!! Thanks

Not a review of a single trip but rather my review of about 2 years of trips! Dawn Tide II is a nice charter boat with a very large fishing area. Next the Skipper, Mark has very good knowledge of the area and has great advice which, if asked, is happy to share. Mark loves to catch fish himself and will always do his utmost to put you on the fish, always willing to move to track them down. I have had some of my best days fishing on Dawn Tide II including.my PB (and boat record ) Smoothound and can thoroughly recommend a trip out with Mark.

Fishing Report by Mark Peters
Sep 2024 by Mark Peters
The offshore Bassing begins & had started with a bang! there’s a lovely average stamp of fish around 4-5lb best one this week was 7lb please note some days we hit 20+ fish some days we hit a 100+ fish!
The numbers & sizes should only increase as we move into autumn! Bring your lure set ups along with your uptide gear as it changes daily.
This time of year through till the end of November is some of the best bass fishing you will experience in the area
Not much availability left but contact me on 07523488290 for availability -

Fishing is steady
The Lure fishing for bass has ramped up alot lately on general grounds I suspect the warmer settled conditions has helped as the fish seem pretty shallow.
The bait fishing is better on the bigger tides for targeting bass on worms & mackerel strips.
Its now that time of year when we start pushing further offshore for the Bass on the wrecks & outer banks.
I will be heading out there one the right tides until end of November.
These offshore trips are very popular & some of the best bassing you can experience in the area for sizes & numbers!! Exciting times ahead!
Hounds are fishing well on crab or rag baits the fish are very shallow but this is more fun as they fight like mad in the shallows.
Bonus They aren’t to far away so this means when its a bit blowy to chase the bass we can stop short in the sheltered shallow waters & target the hounds. There are a few nice bass & stingray on the hound grounds aswell.
Look forward to seeing everyone enjoying them selfs out there.

As alway the Bass fishing proves to be popular among anglers & the lure fishing being the most effective method at the moment.
Good job too as its exciting fishing & i do target them on lures every trip as most of you know by now.

Its all about the bass & tope through the next couple months so come prepared guys i will do a proper report soon just been super super busy

Theres also Mackerel showing golden bait for big bass & tope essentially live luckily we have a live bait tank onboard!

There’s Plenty of bass around at the moment a decent stamp of fish & reasonable numbers aswell for April,
Worm baits & lures are most productive & both are a must if you want to target the bass. Its only going to get better as water temp rises with big shoals hitting the lures!
Hounds are creeping in more & more although we we’re catching them in February the real big girls are yet to arrive in proper numbers but im sure they will start showing in the shallows in coming weeks.
The Tope wont be far behind either & if the spurs are going to show it will be very soon aswell bedn a few rouge ones reported this week
To be honest il keep continuing to target bass until all the rest kicks off
Its nice & steady at the moment plenty for everyone.
Exciting fishing ahead!!
