Fishing on the kentish flats still proving very productive with good sized smoothounds ,bass and Thornback rays coming aboard this week along with stingray also being caught.
A monster stinger in the trawls this week at around the 80lb mark !so that British record at 72lb is definately achievable
lots of happy anglers baz View Boats Page

Report on-board Hurricane
Well guys a good start to the summer with tons of thornies which were very obliging then the hounds appeared and are still hungry for crab baits if you can get them.
Bass around in fair numbers to ragworm baits but beware the new rules from the fisheries board only 3 bass per angler and new size limit 42cm great news as this looks after our sport for the future.
Theres plenty fish out there guys but you wont catch any wathching the telly so give me a call and come out for a rewarding day. View Boats Page

on Duke IV (Ramsgate, Kent)

Report on-board Duke IV
The Hounds are heading south now as they have finished the breeding process for this year, these are fit healthy fish that put up a hell of a struggle when you hook into one as my grandson found out the other day. Marley caught this 8lber on a lug/squid cocktail and was happy to release it.
Now is the time for large Bass, these fish can turn up anywhere, but l have some spots where they are more likely, fishing a bait large and tough enough to beat the doggies is the main ingredient to success along with patience, 10lb+ Bass are rare fish now, but with the increasing protection being given to them we may see a return to the numbers we used to get some years ago. All these big Bass are female so returning them is a good idea! Plenty of Mackerel so far this summer although the water has coloured up lately making them difficult to catch for bait, always bring some along just in case. The Skate fishing so far has been superb with plenty all this year, with most of them being released, particularly the females that we have landed to over 15lbs. Still dates available on Duke IV for individuals or whole boat bookings! Tight lines Bob View Boats Page

Morning gent's
Fished on Sunday in conditions that would be expected in November not flaming July, heavy rain and gusty winds hampered us for most of the trip but fishing made up for it,we got stuck into the hounds landing a dozen or so up to 14lb ,then fished sheltered waters in the medway catching countless bass up to 3lb ,not big I know but still good sport on light tackle ,a couple of elusive eels also turned up to finish off a not so bad day considering the weather.fingers crossed for more settled conditions next time tightline's baz.
