Fishing Report by Roger Lennon

As the evenings start to chill, and we start to loose the daylight hours, the only thing that is on our minds is cod fishing. (Well myn anyway lol.) And guess what Tom brings up-a nice bass. Still finding plenty of hounds, still getting a few skate on the Goodwins and some really good whiting. Going to really be targeting the cod now, so get yourself a good bucket of worms, and get yourself onboard the Bayside!
Thanks to all,
Roger. Skipper of Bayside. -

At last the water temperature has hit the magical 13degs! and boy has this bought the bass on the feed! Alan and Gary took advantage of our June special (see top of page) and booked the whole boat for a days bassing and boy they wasnt disappointed. Some good bass landed and some even better ones lost. (unlucky Alan, that was a good fish.) Still some good hounds, skate, showing on crab and squid baits. Don't forget all my trips inc. rods, reels, tackle and some baits. 4hr bass and mackeral trips now in full swing (phone for times and details.) Still have some dates available for all day trips in July and August. Very Tight Lines, Roger.

Bass Bass Bass Bass! What more can I say?! This beauty came up on whole cuttle on a secrect rough ground mark of myn 1/4 of a mile from the shore. With the peeler crabs just starting to moult, there is just going to be alot more of them. Skate fishing is stil fantastic, with 10+ fish a trip not uncommon and with the spurdogs, smooth hounds and tope starting to make an appearance around the Goodwins. , , June and july are going to be proper rod bending months. I have fresh peeler on board, so just give me a ring to get your order in. 4hr evening bass trips have now started, so if your want some nice bass and mackeral for your barbie, get yourself a trip aboard BAYSIDE. Still have dates available in , June and july. And dont forget all my trips inc. all rods, reels, tackle and some baits.
Very Tight Lines,

Let me start by saying I still have spaces available for Bank Holiday Monday. My 4 hour trips have now started, which are a great insight into boat fishing- for both novices and the beginner. I have a fresh supply of peeler crab on board.Give me a call to get your order in.
While the fishing just goes from strength to strength, with the change over of winter to summer species in full swing. Now is the time to bag up on skate, especially if you've never caught one as 20+ fish a trip is quite common. Add to this the hounds, spurdogs, bass, and spring codling. I think April/May is going to be a bumper time for fishing up to 10 miles off. Still have good tide dates available. I look forward to answering all your queries for trips aboard Bayside. All my trips include rods, reels, tackle and some baits. 07805250427.
Tight Lines!

Am expecting a big influx of codling any time now on the inshore marks which are sheltered from prevailing winds, I very rarely get blown off as opposed to more exposed ports or venues. The bass will probably stay around for a month or two yet because the sea temp is still quite high! This time of year usually throws up a huge fish or two. The boat will be operating between Christmas and New Year so if you fancy getting out of the house and blowing away the cobwebs and mince pies get in touch!! Have now got my 2012 diary and tide table January Feb and March should see us fishing for skate and large cod so get in touch now to book for the better tides. hope to see you all aboard Bayside soon,

As you can see with the settled weather we've been having, the fishing is going from strength to strength. We seem to be hitting personal best Bass on every trip at the moment and with double figure hounds showing between the Bass it doesn't get much better!! Still plenty of mackerel showing so no expensive bait needed for a great day afloat as a large box of squid will easily be enough for 4 anglers. Also getting Bass on feathers on inshore wrecks as the water is still clear. All these fish have been caught around the Goodwin Sands which will give you a good 7 hours fishing in an 8 hour trip! The evening trips have ceased due to the shorter nights but will start up again in May. Now starting to take bookings for Cod fishing from October onwards ( but be quick to book as we had fish to over 20lb last year) Hope to see you all soon.

After taking over this boat in March the weather has stopped us getting out as much as I'd like so I haven't been posting, but as you can see now we've been able to get out onto the Bass grounds at long last. It has been hectic fishing with several specimens over 10lb with our best so far at 12lb 2oz. The Mackerel are showing everywhere, the hounds have styed with us and there are still some large skate showing on most trips. I think that the summer has arrived at last and this fishing will continue right throuh into October when hopefully the cod will arrive in numbers. All these fish were caught within 40 minutes of Ramsgate harbour which proves you don't have to steam miles and waste valuable fishing time to get really decent fish!!
Some dates are still available for day bookings and I'm still running my 4 hour evening trips which is plenty of time to catch yourself a decent specimen!!
