Fishing Report by Bob Marshall
on Duke IV (Ramsgate, Kent)
11 Dec 2011 by Bob Marshall
Report on-board Duke IV
Still the summer species abound here at Ramsgate with Bass, Skate and the odd Hound making up the numbers. The water is now though cooling down and taking some colour, looking more like the dirty winter sea the Cod favour.
Plenty of Whiting and Doggies to keep the rods nodding while waiting for that elusive Cod.
The bait required for a days fishing is much simpler now just lug, squid and some herrings for the Skate. Baby cuttles a great bait for the better Cod as the smaller species are not so keen, leaving it there for the Cod or large Bass that stay all winter.
Its a lovely day out here today, bright sunshine and light west winds, making the fishing much more comfortable, we have a nice Skate amongst the smaller fish so looking good with some quality Whiting!
Plenty of herring here now so when you bring up a small whiting let it back down, as small fish make up a large part of the Cods diet!
Duke IV is fishing throughout the winter so don't sit at home bored, give me a call and let's go fishing!

Fishing Report by Scott Belbin
on Galloper (Brightlingsea, Essex)

Report on-board Galloper
i thought i'd put in a report as it's been a while. the fishing this autumn has been far better than last year. weve seen steady numbers of cod coming aboard with several thornback still around and even the odd bass or smooth-hound. in fact we had a couple of smooth-hounds just a couple of weeks ago! a sure sign of how mild its been. although were not complaining as the mild weather has ment we are still catching well and have still been able to get out most of the time. there has even been good fishing in the river which has saved a few days for us. further afield there have been a few big cod around although it can sometimes mean sacrificeing quantity for quality. our biggest so far is 16.9lbs cuaght by on of our regulars wayne bennet although we hope to better this over the coming weeks. the fishing inshore is still good and even our evening trips have proven popular. one of our reglular parties jumped aboard on saturday night. there had been a couple of drop outs but the lads were still happy to go with just the 4 of them. we arrived just as the flood was under way and after a few missed bites martin was the first into a fish. a nice codling followed quickly by another on his other rod. john soon followed with a cod of his own. the fishing came in flurries for the next couple of hours before the tide died around 9.30pm. we had already had a good session with john boating the biggest at 10.8lbs and most of the rest around 3-4lbs. now the two new lads fred and perry had a few codling as the tide eased and we had to leave. we finished up with 28 codling for the night with johns 10.8lb fish the biggest, there were sever dogfish and plenty of whiting too.
with fishing like this now we hold high hopes for the spring run of cod which should have fattened up nicely. there are a few spaces over christmass with nice tides otherwise im taking bookings for next year.

Report on-board Sea Otter 2
With a break in the weather i had a team of lads on who love the uptiding so with the forcast being fine i told the lads plenty of squid and blacks for the session the fishing was very steady most of the with 90% of the cod between 6-8lb a very good stamp of fish seeing you are only fishing 500 yds from the cliff bottoms and with no steaming time what a better way to relax , the best fish of the day was 10lb 2 oz a nice size fish but as isaid most fish were between 6-8lb the lads were over the moon.

Report on-board Ocean Warrior 3
Recent catches - we are still getting some nice Cod's on the open ground. The biggest yesterday was Sean with his at 15lb. They also had some nice Whiting. But, the weather has not been good recently, looking forward to it dropping again to get so we can get out and get some of those bigger Cod. If you fancy a day out Cod fishing, individuals or groups, email me or give me a call on 07966 377145, website is updated with last minute dates. We are also fishing over the Christmas holiday period if you fancy a day out.
