    Report on-board Duke IV

    The inshore Skate fishing remains good with some unusually large male fish around with herring still the bait of choice. The weather has been making life difficult for all the boats but Duke IV managed to reach the offshore wrecks yesterday and although the fishing was tough we ended the day with a reasonable haul of Cod to 8lb. Perseverence proved the key to success with the crew finding best results on small shad lures.
    Smoothound fishing still good with some quality fish, crab being the bait of choice for these hard fighters.
    July and August will see large Bass looking for the Mackerel and Whiting. Whole Squid or a large mackerel fillet is the way for the big girls although the Doggies also find these baits tasty and can eat their way through a lot of bait, fish a live bait when the water is clear for best results.

    With weekday and some weekend dates still available for groups and individuals, give me a call and come fishing off Ramsgate aboard Duke IV
