    Report on-board PLAN B

    i came over to fish a fishing for fun meet upon rays new boat "the merlin"..fishing with lee johnson,and the fff crew was an experience,and Ray was an absulute gentleman,coming from Ireland,i had no gear.Ray set me up with quality rods and reels,already rigged up,with all baits supplied by the skipper at no extra cost,and there was MOUNTAINS of bait,as soon as we were out over the mark,tea and bacon butties came thick and fast,as did the whiting and rokers to our rods.Being Irish,i had not uptided before,Ray could not have been more helpful showing me the tequniques of uptiding and being very patient with me.The merlin is a very comfortable boat to fish,with loads of room for eight anglers,and Ray and his crew worked hard all day to get us onto the fish,I had a most enjoyable day and intend to bring an irish crew over next year to fish this venue with Ray again.

    Report on-board Flamer IV

    OCTOBER REPORT - During October the fishing continued to be good despite the unsettled weather.The reefs produced bream,bull huss,congers,rays,cod etc.The banks were excelent for brill,turbot,and plaice.Lots of different species were caught with the Flamer IV species count now 55 for 2012.Also bass,pollack and cod were caught on the wrecks.Flamer Fish of the Month for October was a really hard one to choose with so many credible fish being caught ie 8Ib brill,6Ib 8oz plaice but I have awarded this months award to John Collings for his 26Ib blonde ray (pictured). As we move into the winter months the species caught will change and realistic target species will be Cod,Whiting,Rays,Pollack,Bass,Brill,Turbot,Bull Huss,Congers etc.Don't Miss Out.

    2012 - Don't Forget to book your trips/places. Lots of interesting trips are available for individuals and boat bookings.

    Report on-board Cleveland Princess

    30/10/2011 With a strong S/Westly we head up to the E/Barnard to see if it would fish but we were beaten back with 2mt seas so we decided to run back into the gully off Kessingland this proved to be a good move as it was a lot calmer inside with no weed we were catching fish pretty much straight away only ytings today but with a nice bunch of people from soterly it was a good crack allday thanks for that,Brian/Paul.

  • 29/10/2011 Fishing Report by Scott Belbin on Lady Grace (Brightlingsea, Essex)

    Report on-board Lady Grace

    since launching the 'lady grace' ive been busy with the water taxi service and harbour trips but as the winter approaches i will be turning my attention to fishing trips and bird watching trips. we had our first fishing trip on saturday the 29th and with reasonable weather and a few cod starting to show it seemed we had picked the perfect day to start. we fished the top of the tide and had a 4 hour trip booked with a party of 5 aboard. some of the lads had a little experience but were shown up by hannah and katie who were on there first fishing trip and apart from keeping busy with whiting caught two nice codling around the 2lbs mark. they enjoyed it so much that the 4 hours was extended to 5 and they ended up with 42 whiting and 2 codling between the 5 of them although the girls showed the boys up! as these big tides back off the numbers of cod in the estuary should increase and there are some big fish about already as the first double of the season came out on the 'galloper' today and its not unheard of for these bigger fish to turn up in the estuary too! if you wish to book a trip aboard the 'lady grace' or the 'galloper' then please visit www.esexseafishing.co.uk where you can find our availability as well as a weekly fishing update.
