Report on-board Galloper
Its been a long time since my last report on here. We had a few nice fish over the summer and the weather was ok on the whole. there were a few decent smooth-hounds about here and there along with some nice bass and the usual mixed bags of thorn-backs, dogfish and such like to make the days up. When it has been windy the blackwater estuary has produced the goods too. On the right tides we can do well in here and avoid the weed too. One morning with just two lads aboard we managed around 15 sizable bass (although most were returned due to the 1 bass per angler bag limit). We have also snuck out a few ballen and corkwing wrasse which aren’t too common around here. The river also produced the first codling of the season on my dads boat ‘Razorbill 3’ way back in august. It was only a small fish but hopefully a good sign of things to come in the fast approaching cod season. With that in mind im not expecting great guns from the cod but we should definitely see an improvement on last year (although that’s not hard as they barely showed). There were good numbers of little codletts along the shore in places in the spring so these fish are likely to return in the 12-18 inch bracket this autumn. Fingers crossed we should see a few bigger fish mixed in too along with the usual autumn run of thorn-backs, dogfish whiting ect. Although I may be a bit laxed on here with reports ect I keep my available dates as up to date as possible and my reports on my website and facebook are usually quite popular.
