    Report on-board Galloper

    The smooth-hounds have been showing in great numbers so far this year. Our best trip so far was very busy with me clocking 116 smooth-hounds for the day although I am sure I didn’t get them all. There were a few double figure fish mixed in there but the majority were smaller. Some of the biggest fish fell to Cem, Richard, Kevin and Nick. As usual they provided great sport on light tackle as did the rays, bass, whiting and dogfish we caught that day.
    Nick was also pleased to catch his first bass, not a bad way to start either at over 4lbs. I’m sure he would have been satisfied with the 2-3lber he had later in the day as his first one! Nick has been out with us a lot the last few weeks and seems to be reaping the rewards with decent days on rays, hounds, plaice and bass to his name. it’s always nice to be part of somebodies angling journey and nick is certainly putting in the effort.
    The hounds will be inshore in numbers until September and we should see plenty more good days and decent fish between now and then.
    I have plenty of spaces on general trips for full boat bookings and individuals. I also have spaces for tope, plaice and bass coming up soon so please get in touch.
    I have individual spaces and possibility of full boat bookings over the coming weeks and months if you want to get out.
    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.
