    Report on-board Galloper

    As ever its been a while since my last report on here. This autumn has been promising as expected. Its been an improvement on last year (which isn’t too hard). As im sure you will have gathered from other reports from this area. The last few weeks have seen us catching codling on all but one trip. They are mostly small and we’ve seen between 1 and 3 per trip which is alwost as many in a trip as the whole of last season! There are currently heaps of whiting keeping us busy in the between and although as ever the majority are small there is the odd bigger one around too. The colder weather has thinned out the bulk of the thorn-back rays and dogfish. However we are still scratching a few together to mix in with the rest of the days catch. The last set of tides saw the return of the dabs, the lads had a few hours fishing for them with 10-15 per angler coming out. These add to the relatively varied catches we are seeing at the moment and make a great standby for a windy winters day.
    We are available right through the winter and have spaces throughout December and January. We are lucky enough to have plenty of sheltered places to fish so if your keen to get out there’s no need to cancel.
    Ive added a few pictures to my page on here of some of the codling we have seen so far. They aren’t monsters but it should give you an idea of what’s coming out.
