  • 29/04/2017 Fishing Report by Steve Green on Brigand (Brighton, East Sussex)

    Report on-board Brigand

    We took a trip out to the banks Friday and it was one of those days where nothing came easy. Water was coloured inshore (which made bait collection a struggle) and even on the banks we had to be patient - eventually located a shoal of mackerel which mad a fine mess of a 12 feather trace! The day turned into something of a species hunt with just about everything but Turbot coming aboard the boat. Unfortunately for the crew this was the first time we have not had Turbot off of these marks and we did put in the miles - Nobody more disappointed than us and grateful for the crews understanding.

    Saturday was a different story altogether - Beautiful day, sun beating down and with a crew of mixed experience, on a big tide the easy option would have been to anchor up with smelly baits and sit it out..... Very pleased that we took the harder option and visited a few wrecks that often deliver early season fish. We had a steady stream of Pollock to 8lb, Bass to 7lb (returned of course) and our first Cod off of the wrecks this year which fell to Steven. A great day which kept Nick and I busy on the net........ Goes to show that if your prepared to put in the effort and miles the wreck fishing is still excellent out of Brighton.

    As the water temp increases the Cod should start to show in decent numbers on the offshore wrecks so if you would like to get aboard check-out our calendar and get in touch.

    Best wishes
