    Report on-board Galloper

    The bigger tides made for busy fishing on our last run of general trips. The dogfish and whiting are still making a fair dent in my supplies of frozen squid as well as keeping the lads occupied. In between we are still catching a few thorn-back rays and even some late smooth-hounds and bass are showing inshore.
    The codling are making their best showing here for several years. as I mentioned before they wont be filling your freezer up but they are great to see and put a smile on the lads faces. They are still hit and miss but we did manage 6 little codling in one trip last week. Hopefully they continue to increase in numbers and size. Alex Canham made a fair point the other day when he caught one of the biggest of the trip. It was one of the biggest he could remember catching around here. Some of you may have seen Alex crewing for me earlier this year and it’s easy to forget that he was 8 the last time we had decent numbers of codling here! Hopefully he wont have to wait another 8 years before there is a decent showing again.
    Offshore is still producing great numbers of bass, they are feeding very well at the moment and should hang around until the end of November. This should provide a welcome alternative to our general trips with some great sport and some nice table fish too.
    I have several weekend dates that have come available including this Saturday if anybody is interested please contact me.
    Remember it is often worth giving me a shout if you are cancelled else where and still wish to get out, as we have lots of sheltered fishing available and a big catamaran which makes it even more comfortable.
    its always worth keeping an eye out for last minute spaces with groups or where people drop out. I will list my current list of spaces but there are likely to be other dates so its always worth giving me a call. If I am out of signal range I will get back to you asap.
