It's been great to see some nice bass and hounds coming out lately. These fish are some of the stockiest bass you will see as they are ready to spawn. The biggest fell to Barry wood and is a new pb for him at just over 10.8lbs. we normally try to release these big females regardless but it's closed season anyway. However it's nice to see a few bass showing ahead of the season starting on the 1st of April.
I have spaces this Sunday and over the Easter holiday so please get in touch.
Next spaces are on
24/03- 7 Spaces @ £60pp

It was great to see the lads from Suffolk police the other day. The doggies kept them busy between the rays, whiting, pouting, a bass and a dab. There were certainly no shortage of bites and the lads fished hard as they always do.
It's nice to see plenty of life out there as things warm up and we see increasing amounts of summer species show.
Currently my next spaces are as follows
24/03- 7 Spaces @ £60pp
28/03- evening trip 4 spaces @ £60pp
29/03- boat available from £528 or individuals @ £60pp
30/03- 9 spaces @ £60pp
01/04-4 spaces @ £60pp
Other dates may be available on request

Mark looks happy with his codling from the other day. Lol. Sorry the picture was awful, we were more interested in getting the dear little thing back in the water. The doggies are feeding well now and there have been some better rays mixed in with the smaller ones too. It won't be long before the hounds and bass start showing inshore too. We are already catching them further off.
I will try and put an offshore trip together for early next week so please let me know if you are interested. currently my next spaces are on

It was great to catch up with some of the regulars the other day. Barry was top rod with 4 rays to his name. The other lads had plenty of fish as well including whiting dogfish and several more rays.
I have spaces tomorrow (10/03) and during the week @ £60pp or hire the boat from £528.

Malcolm and the lads had a nice trip between the 3 of them the other day. There were a few bigger female rays mixed in which looks like the start of the spring run. They had 15 rays all together as well as dogfish, whiting, pouting and codling. Hopefully the building tides will push some more fish in for the weekend. We have spaces Saturday and the full boat available Sunday 10th . If you want to join us please call me on 07956412528

The cod are in! Look at this giant tony caught. Possibly a skrei cod following the herring down lol. In reality it was small but perfectly formed and offers hope for years to come. The rays aren't in huge numbers but we have been finding a few between the whiting, dogfish, pouting, dabs and hounds so there's plenty to catch at the moment.
I have spaces this coming weekend and midweek over the next few weeks.

Apologies for the lack of reports lately. We have had the boats out of the water and have been moving house so I haven't had time to deal with too many calls and messages. However now things are coming together and spring isn't far away looking at the daffodils that already flowering.
With the weather generally being mild the fish have been feeding well most of the way through the winter. Our last trip produced plenty of whiting and dogfish with a few dabs and even a bass. The lads had one or two rays each and nick even managed a rocking (not too common from the boat). I have spaces this weekend offshore weather permitting from Sunday (03rd) onwards. I will try and get back on track with reports from now on as I know many of you have been asking.

if you are a sea angler beach or boat either fanatical or occasional and you have fished around the greater Thames Estuary then it is likely you have fished for thornback rays. if you have fished here the last few years you will undoubtedly noticed the steep decline in their numbers. THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
please take the time to fill out this survey, attend an online meeting, or voice your opinion in some official way to try and get sea angling the recognition it deserves. we seem to be under represented when ever it matters so please stand up and be counted. it wont take long, you invest money into angling weather it is by spending it on charter boats, tackle, bait, traveling or taking time off. protect your investment by taking part now.
i'm not sure what the rules are about sharing the links on here but i have put them on my own social media and website

Just back from a very pleasant 4hr trip with Aaron and the lads hiring the boat between the 3 of them. The weather was bright and breezy for most of the trip but thankfully there were plenty of fish within the sheltered waters of the blackwater and Colne estuaries. We had a thornback ray first cast as well as braces of whiting and dabs to get us off the mark. The fish weren't huge but very welcome as was a trip on the boat to blow the Christmas cobwebs away. We had a couple more rays before we had to head in and managed to beat the worse of the weather. It was great to see the lads enjoy their trip and get a few fish despite the strong wind.
It looks like there could be a little less wind at the weekend so I will try to get a trip or two together. Please contact me if you want to join us.
