    Report on-board Galloper

    We managed to get a few trips in with varied conditions last week. Small tides and strong winds limited our options at times but we were able to put a few miles in and found plenty of fish. the rays are down on numbers compared to recent years but there are still some nice fish amongst them. Bens group had the biggest of the week at 15.2lbs which is a very respectable fish. not least on a windy day and a very last minute trip.
    We had smooth-hounds on every trip and although there were no monsters they are widespread and numerous. Our best trip totalled around 30 hounds along with countless dogfish, whiting, dabs, roker and a bass.
    Mark was pleased with his first bass of the year to go with his first hounds too. Hopefully there will be plenty more where that came from.
    I have individual spaces and possibility of full boat bookings over the coming weeks and months if you want to get out.
    Please be advised that a steady trickle of dates are filling up for 2023 so please get in touch asap if you require a specific date.
    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.
