Report on-board Galloper
The cold weather seems to have thinned out the dogfish inshore. this means the majority of our catches are made up with whiting now. There are some better ones mixed in the catches and still vast numbers of them eating just about any bait we can throw at them. On the right tides there are good numbers of dabs to be caught. The lads kept a few for a feed the other day, the smallest we kept was over 25cm long and of course we returned lots more to fight another day. there are still a few roker to be found here and there to put a bend in our rods. Hopefully this mild spell will help get the rays and dogfish feeding again.

Some times it can feel a tad predictable when whiting and dogfish are in biblical proportions but you have to be in it to win it. Steve Canham was very pleased he made the effort the other day as he caught his first ever haddock. These fish are not a common sight around here although we did have one a few years ago on a trip in the river blackwater. The odd small codling is showing amongst the whiting too and you wont catch them from the sofa.
I have space on the 18th (this Saturday) and a group on Sunday who are struggling for numbers too. if anybody is interested, after that I will be looking to fill my remaining spaces over Christmas. I will probably take a look at the weather the week before and arrange trips to suit. If you wish to join us then please get in touch and I will get you booked down somewhere.
I do have availability mid-week if you fancy a trip out. Please contact me on 07956411528 to discuss availability.
