we had some great weather for once and the lads had their pick of places to fish. we had some nice big tides and so went for a mixed bag of thornbacks and cod. its always nice to see some of the early fish and they are a nice size to, we only had a dousen today but they were all between 3lbs and 6lbs. we also had a dousen thornbacks to about 8lbs and loads of whiting and dogs. this is a grat sign for the coming weeks and months as the cod fishing will only get better.

well it seems like the autumn fish are here now, apart from the wind making the conditions a little uncomfortable we found some at the weekend. we started the day in the deeper water trying to aviod the swell but when the tide changed we were able to get where we wanted and were soon into much better fishing. we finished the day with 32 thornbacks aswell as a load of bits and bobs. a few codling have started to show inshore now although we didnt have any some of the other boats that stayed closer in saw some to 5-6lbs and i reckon we will see a few more of these on this next set of big tides this weekend.

after a short holiday abroad we have returned to the reiable thames for some fun summer fishing. we had 8 hire rods out saturday, some of which had been before but most were complete begginers. we had a good day with great weather and a few fish to boot. although we had no massive fish we did have a few smoothounds around the doubles and the biggest was 10.8lbs. by the end of the day the lads had enjoyed the fishing wich was at times quite hectic when we had a 3 and 4 smoothounds on at once. its always nice to see these fish with the average being around 7-8lbs they fight hard and are easily returned alive. we were pleased at the end of the day with 20 smoothounds to show for our efforts. over the next month expect to see more smoothounds, bass and roker aswell as the return of the codling in the not too distant future.

the fishing has been good despite some of the weather.we had a few nice hounds over the weekend ans its always nice to see a few double figure fish and who doesnt enjoy those powerfull runs?the hounds will be about for another month or two so there is still a chance for you to book up and catch some.

2009 has been very good to us so far and thankfully the fishing is still great.we were out on sunday despite the strong easterly as the lads were still keen to go.
we didnt venture too far due to the weather and as the lads were hire rods i didnt want to give them a rough trip.we had a good day after a very wet start and were rewarded in the afternoon with some bright sunshine and flat calm sea's.
we finished up with 23 thornbacks 1 small tope and a load of dogies.the lads and the boat both handled the sea really well and we didnt have one suffer with sea sickness!
