    Report on-board Galloper


    As ever, the lads from the Suffolk police had a busy trip the other day despite forecasts of unsavoury weather. I gave the lads the choice between going a little further with a greater chance of bass or more comfort. They chose the comfortable option and it certainly was comfortable all day. the lads run a match on most trips which encourages them to fish hard and they certainly do that. There were steady numbers of hounds coming aboard with several around the low double figure mark we totalled a respectable 37 for the day. In between these we saw lots of small tope, some just weeks old and others of a few pounds in weight. Just because it was comfortable it didn’t rule out bass of course and they still managed a few nice table sized fish throughout the day. a couple of roker came out including a nice low double figure fish for Guy. Dogfish are still there but the rise in water temperature means they are far less numerous inshore at the moment. A couple of silver eels showed during the day too. I’m not sure who decided that measuring fish was a good idea but I sat that one out! Andy had a beautiful tub gurnard which brightened up a grey day. Tony suggested it was the one he caught last trip but I like to think more than one are left in the sea. As I hauled the anchor Stuart finished the day with a dover sole which are also great to see.
    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.
