    Report on-board Galloper

    I thought I would share a few pics from our latest offshore bass trips this week. I have spaces this week and fishing has still been very good despite us being so late in the season now. at times the water has been very clear which allows us to carry on lure fishing too when conditions suit. The bait fishing kept us busy on the last set of tides too and we did manage one or two other species in between the bass. Dan posed with one of the sand eels that were coughed up by the bass or caught on our weights that day. one bass even coughed up a very freshly eaten dragonet. Robert had us all in suspense when he took an age reeling in something heavy. It was obvious why there wasn’t much life once it was in sight as his lure had hooked a rock. He asked me to estimate the weight and I said it looked like a stone to me!
    Closer to shore there are still hoards of whiting and dogfish to be had. In between them we have still been catching thorn-back rays, codling and even smooth-hounds.
    These fish are likely to feature in next months offshore trips when our attention will turn from the bass to spur dogs for the next few months. Please get in touch if you want to have a go at these.
    We have one last set of tides left before we stop our offshore bass trips this year. They are still showing in numbers and I have individual spaces and boat availability if you wish to join us.
    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.
