    Report on-board Lady Grace

    since launching the 'lady grace' ive been busy with the water taxi service and harbour trips but as the winter approaches i will be turning my attention to fishing trips and bird watching trips. we had our first fishing trip on saturday the 29th and with reasonable weather and a few cod starting to show it seemed we had picked the perfect day to start. we fished the top of the tide and had a 4 hour trip booked with a party of 5 aboard. some of the lads had a little experience but were shown up by hannah and katie who were on there first fishing trip and apart from keeping busy with whiting caught two nice codling around the 2lbs mark. they enjoyed it so much that the 4 hours was extended to 5 and they ended up with 42 whiting and 2 codling between the 5 of them although the girls showed the boys up! as these big tides back off the numbers of cod in the estuary should increase and there are some big fish about already as the first double of the season came out on the 'galloper' today and its not unheard of for these bigger fish to turn up in the estuary too! if you wish to book a trip aboard the 'lady grace' or the 'galloper' then please visit www.esexseafishing.co.uk where you can find our availability as well as a weekly fishing update.
