    Report on-board Galloper

    I’m sure you don’t need reminding but march has been a windy month on the whole for us. Thankfully we have been blessed with some great sheltered fishing. The river has been fishing really well at times with some of the best fishing I’ve ever seen in there in march. We’ve save several days in there with good numbers of codling, plenty of whiting and even the odd thornback ray. Our best trip in the river was 50 codling for the day along with plenty of other odds and sods. In fact that particular day was fine enough to get much further down but the lads chose to stop in the river which was the right choice on the day. further down has been producing even higher numbers at times with fish of 2-4lbs average its great sport on light tackle. We should see these fish and perhaps one or two larger fish for a while yet but the numbers will start to peter out over the coming weeks. Thankfully the rays are starting to show in numbers now which is a sure sign that spring is on its way. The other day on another windy trip we managed to find a few rays to keep us busy. The action was good throughout the day and there were several fish around double figures with the biggest falling to Arthur at 12lbs. we totalled 47 for the day along with lots of whiting and a couple of codling. The rays should be around in good numbers from now until sometime in June. Looking ahead spring is on its way and we should see a fair variety over the next month. We should start with a mix of rays and codling before seeing a few bass mixed in as the month goes on and maybe even the odd smooth-hound too. for more information, weekly reports and availability please visit www.essexseafishing.co.uk or call 07956411528
