Report on-board Hurricane
Fishing remains very good with plenty codling showing in river medway and lets hope it lasts a bit longer.
No huge fish but just nice table size fish and plenty of these with most trips averaging 30 to 40 between 6 anglers with a good show of quality whiting mixed in also.
Its been a few years since we had such a good show of nice fish and happy punters all round.
The big advantage we have is that we can fish in all but the worst weather when all the boats round the coast are tied up .
Lots of happy customers is good news all round

Report on-board Duke IV
Fishing remains good with plenty to catch provided the weather allows us to get out.
Codling around in good numbers along with Skate and Whiting, sprats are starting to show so may draw the Cod higher in the water making them difficult to catch.
Skate however will stay the bottom so still good size fish to catch.
Duke IV is being lifted out of the water in February for maintenance but we
still have spaces available on the 31st of January trip. Call me to book your place.
Hoping for good fishing throughout 2015. Bob View Boats Page

Report on-board Skerry Belle
After a very successful summer, we will now be turning our attentions to cod fishing. The Goodwin sands and chalk ledges around the foreland are great areas to target early season fish. The first fish are around the 3-5lb bracket, with the larger fish arriving in October as they follow the whiting scholes inshore as the nights draw in. Large autumn bass will also be amongst them and live whiting fished on a flowing trace can often see bass up to 15lb come to the net. Large fresh lug baits, cuttle and whole squid will get you amongst the fish. Remember all top quality bait can be supplied to you onboard. Just ask when booking. To book a cod trip and for best tides, contact Roger direct to the boat on 07805250427 Tight lines and hope to see you onboard soon

on Duke IV (Ramsgate, Kent)

Report on-board Duke IV
Plenty of fish out of Ramsgate for now with Whiting, Doggies, Skate and Codling, still around are Bass and Smoothounds. Lots of bait needed as these fish are hungry.
Chris' group had a good day on Saturday with 8 Skate to 9lb along with lots of Whiting to 2lb Codling, Bass and a small Hound.
December through January is the time for better Cod so big baits of squid or cuttle are worth trying, dont forget the herring though as the Skate will stay around throughout the winter.
Wrap up warm, bring plenty of bait and enjoy a days fishing with plenty of fish although not all as large as we would like.

Report on-board Hurricane
At last the fish have returned to the estuary now all the years of disturbance have stopped.
The main reason is the shrimps have returned and the fish are having a great time feeding up.
The good news is there are good catches of codling along with lots of thornbacks big whiting dabs and the return of the pouting.
I had a trip today on a very small tide of 4.7m usually not a good omen but i managed to find a good bag of fish for my customers.
We had 15 thornies 12 nice codling 1 massive tub gurnard loads whiting up to 2lb plus and some nice dabs and the welcome return of the humble pouting which tells me that the eco system is good.
Oh nearly forgot the usual spooy dogs .
All in all a brilliant day and a very happy bunch of lads .
And to top the day a large pod of pilot whales were in the area and a couple of the local boats escorted these away from the shipping lanes and the coastguard issued a radio warning to shipping.
All in all it seems that everything is getting in on the abundance of food in the estuary and it can only be good.
What a welcome releif us skippers have struggled for long enough. View Boats Page

Bring plenty of bait as the sea off Ramsgate is brim full of fish, with as usual lots of Doggies along with Whiting, many being classed as Channel Whiting so up to 2lb in weight.
Codling have arrived with fish in the 1-3lb range along with a few better size fish.
The Skate that have been around all summer are still here with fish up to l0lb fairly common. Last Saturdays group of individuals had a good day with all species with Kym an accomplished Carp angler leading the way with 3 Skate up to 9lb l2oz, a female Skate that Kym chose to release.
Bass and Smoothounds are passing through our area on their way South, always a welcome catch although we are concentrating more on the Cod that are the target species on most anglers wish list.
Bait, squid and lugworm for Cod with herring chunks for Skate and Whiting.
