    Report on-board Galloper

    We have still been pushing offshore for a few trips and the offshore bass fishing is still great fun. We have had several trips off there lately in a variety of conditions and found some great fish each time. Paul and Leon travelled through the night all the way from Newcastle upon Tyne to sample the offshore bass fishing here in Essex. After several cancelled trips else where the forecast looked like it could curtail this one for them too. However thankfully we were able to get the lads out there along with the rest of our individuals that day. the bass were slow to start with as small smooth-hounds made up the majority of our catch until the tide got going and the bass came on the feed. The bass love a bit of rough water and luckily the Galloper makes fishing in these conditions far more comfortable for us. Paul found several nice bass himself throughout the day but his efforts were over shadowed by his Son Leon who was one of the top rods on the boat that day. Paul also asked me to thank everybody for making them feel so welcome on the boat. I’m not sure what he expected from us Essex folk? We can be as friendly as you northerners too!
    The stamp of fish offshore has started to improve now with several fish around the 5lb mark showing on our last few trips. We should see a few bigger fish mixed in over the coming weeks too. Please get in touch if you fancy an offshore bass trip as individuals or a boat booking.
    I have a bit of mid-week availability for full boat bookings and individuals coming up as well as a couple of spaces with a regular group that are short of people this Saturday (08th)
