    Report on-board Galloper

    There may have been rain forecast last week but my tan lines suggest otherwise. As is often the case in this part of the country we avoided the majority of the rain aboard the Galloper and it was factor 50 and Sunglasses not rain coats needed! The fishing continues to be great with numbers of Smooth-hounds and bass making up most of our trips. It was nice to see yet more youngsters joining us. Ben and Oliver joined us one day last week although they were booked on with separate family groups. It is so nice to see angling spanning two or three generations as families share interests and spend time together. The boys got amongst the bass and hounds with us. Ben had the first bass of the day and Olly had the most keepers. I am sure we will see some more youngsters out before the end of the holidays and I have a few spaces left.
    One of the biggest bass of the week fell to Jason, he must be doing something right as he had the biggest the other week too!
    Jason was joined by his friend Jim who had one of the biggest hounds of the week rather unexpectedly while targeting bass. Jim took great pleasure in proving there were decent hounds to be caught despite what the skipper had told him. As he didn’t target it I’m not sure it counts in my book!
    There are a few small rays starting to show in places and other bits and bobs mixed in too. Things are looking busy as we head into September and beyond so please get in touch if you fancy grabbing some summer action while it lasts. It wont be long before the dogfish and whiting return inshore and we are chasing the bass as they push further off.
    I only have a few dates and spaces between now and the end of September including some mid-week boat availability please call for more information
