Boat Record Smashed Twice In One Day !
Out again on Lead Us Saturday 22nd found heading back to grounds that had produced earlier in the week. With a crew of 4 on board including two young lads Kacey and Lewis on their first trip angling on a boat and what a day it turned out for them, once we had settled into position it was the steady stream of doggies and whiting which continued throughout the day with the odd smoothound thrown in for good measure. Lewis was the first to hook into a ray a nice Thornback at a respectable 7lbs and his biggest sea fish, graham next with a smaller Thornback things were looking good. Then Lewis was into something and it was obvious it was big and took some getting off the bottom as it appeared on the surface a very big Thornback i didn't think it would fit in the net. Once on board and weighed at 12lb smashing the boat record by nearly 2lbs making a very happy Lewis. slack water arrived and things slowed down with the odd whiting coming in as the tide started again graham picked up a Blonde Ray a first for the boat. With the weather worsening and the wind blowing the boat all over the place and everyone just dropping their baits over the side Kacey's rod nearly disappeared over the side as i grabbed it i knew there was something big on the and handed it back for Kacey to bring in once on board another very big fish which caused some debate between the boys as to whose was the biggest but the scales proved Kacey's fish was the biggest at just over 12.25lbs breaking the boat record again and his biggest ever sea fish. At this point with the weather worsening we headed in with two very happy boys and a good day had by all. -

Out yesterday the first trip out in the new Lead Us with a stiff north westerly blowing headed up to familiar grounds under the shelter of the cliffs of Corton. Once we had the anchor set it was fish form the off with plenty of good sized doggies and nice whiting . Decide to have a move closer inshore as the wind picked up this were much the same with a fish most cast then Nigel managed to pick up a nice 6lb thornback ray his first ever ray so he was very happy
All in all a very good day with plenty of fish for all surprised to see the whiting still full of row at this time of year
A great start for the new boat

For those of you wondering about my absence and lack of reports over the last few months. I thought it was time to give you all an update on my activities here at Lead Us Charters. As you can see from the photos the new incarnation of Lead Us arrived on a cold wet November morning and over the winter with a lot of hard work and the much appreciated help of friends has been transformed into a lovely looking boat. Although the same length the new Lead Us is 2ft 6in wider in the beam and boasts a massive deck space almost 13ft x 10ft behind the engine box plus extra up the sides. This will provide more space, more comfort and stability and the ability to take more people. Lead Us is now nearing completion and will be very soon back in the water and operational again. Looking forward to catching up with all my old and new customers, bookings now being taken for Easter onwards

Headed out to an offshore mark on Lead Us on a still morning not expecting to much with big tides running but wanted to take advantage of the good weather. With the anchor dropped and us settled the fish started coming steadily throughout the day. A good mixture of species coming aboard ending up with 6 smoothounds between 5lb and 7lb, 4 thornbacks to 6lb plenty of whiting and spotties plus 1 dab a good day for all

A great fish for Barry on Lead Us
with a bit of swell running but a falling forecast we headed to an offshore mark in time to catch the start of the ebb. Things were slow until the tide picked up with a couple of hounds coming in, and then Barry was into a good fish which stayed deep and fought hard, at first site i thought it was a cod when i saw the white of its belly but a flash of its black back told me it was a bass and a good one. once landed and weighed it tipped the scales at 7.5lb a PB for Barry and the best bass on Lead Us so far this year. Things slowed down as the tide eased again but after a couple of moves we started catching again as the flood picked up with some more good hounds coming in ending up with 12 to 7lb and the bass @7.5lb.

A lovely morning out with Charles and his family 30-07-16
Headed out with on a lovely morning to a mark off Lowestoft.We arrived at slack water which gave me a little time to get everything organized with the baits hitting the bottom as soon as the tide started to ebb. Within a few minutes the back rod started to go and the first fish was on which was more than a task to reel in for the young lad with help, shortly a fine 7lb thornback was lifted aboard. Over the course of the morning being a 4hr trip 3 more thornbacks of varying sizes were landed and a nice 7lb smoothound with everyone landing a good fish making for a happy family and an experience the boys will remember for a long time.
