    Report on-board Galloper

    We have still been pushing offshore for a few trips and the offshore bass fishing is still great fun. We have had several trips off there lately in a variety of conditions and found some great fish each time. Paul and Leon travelled through the night all the way from Newcastle upon Tyne to sample the offshore bass fishing here in Essex. After several cancelled trips else where the forecast looked like it could curtail this one for them too. However thankfully we were able to get the lads out there along with the rest of our individuals that day. the bass were slow to start with as small smooth-hounds made up the majority of our catch until the tide got going and the bass came on the feed. The bass love a bit of rough water and luckily the Galloper makes fishing in these conditions far more comfortable for us. Paul found several nice bass himself throughout the day but his efforts were over shadowed by his Son Leon who was one of the top rods on the boat that day. Paul also asked me to thank everybody for making them feel so welcome on the boat. I’m not sure what he expected from us Essex folk? We can be as friendly as you northerners too!
    The stamp of fish offshore has started to improve now with several fish around the 5lb mark showing on our last few trips. We should see a few bigger fish mixed in over the coming weeks too. Please get in touch if you fancy an offshore bass trip as individuals or a boat booking.
    I have a bit of mid-week availability for full boat bookings and individuals coming up as well as a couple of spaces with a regular group that are short of people this Saturday (08th)
    For regular updates, availability and more information please visit www.essexseafishing.co.uk find us on social media or call Scott on 07956411528

  • 03/10/2022 Fishing Report by Andy Savage on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    3 Oct 2022 by Andy Savage

    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    Wow…..it’s been hard to get out fishing recently. In September we managed a total of five days at sea, and October has started equally as rubbish.

    With a temporary lull in the pants weather, we did finally manage a day out yesterday. With a group of experienced anglers on board, I was optimistic that we might find a few fish, if they were feeding. Having not been out to sea for over a week, we had a tentative look for a few fresh Mackerel. Running out to the five mile ground, we did find Mackerel, but in the main, they were absolutely tiny. Strings of 4-6” fish came up, which was quite bazaar. In the end, we found enough to get us going.

    We had an hour or so drifting the five mile ground and initially we were getting plenty of bites, mainly from small Codling. Once the flood tide got away properly, the bites tailed off a bit. Keeping on the move, I took us into some ground at three miles, so we could drop onto some wrecks close by when the tide began to ease. The first couple of drifts didn’t produce much, but then the wind fell away a bit and the tide eased a smidge. It was like someone had flicked the fish feeding switch. All of a sudden; we had six rods in at once, and the boys wrestled up a fair few fish in the next hour. It was mainly Ling with the best fish around double figures, but lots of bites and a good few fish in the boxes.

    As slack approached, we went to a couple of wrecks, and had a few fish, but nothing exceptional. I called it early off the wrecks and went back to rough ground. We finished the day catching steadily. We caught plenty of Ling and Codling, but the size of the Codling was on the small side. Mike Lee was top rod for the day, and filled a box to the top with some cracking fish. It was a lovely day out with anglers who I’ve had to cancel too many times for bad weather this year.

    Thanks for coming boys.

    3 Oct 2022 by Scott Belbin

    Report on-board Galloper

    Well I have been very busy since returning from our holiday to Ireland. The weather may not have been perfect but it worked out well for most trips. The wind direction was in our favour and there are plenty of fish around all over the place at the moment too. This meant that we have been able to get everybody out and catching fish rather than cancelling any of our trips.
    Fishing wise there are no shortage of bites to be had inshore. the dogfish and whiting are keeping us very busy in between the better fish. the Suffolk lads had their last match of the year and kept me busy marking their catches down. Andy had the highest score and biggest number of fish with something like 50 scoring fish during the match as well as a bonus lobster too! As if catching a lobster on rod and line isn’t lucky enough fancy the chances of catching a blue lobster? This one isn’t as blue as they sometimes can be but she is certainly a blue one. They are pretty rare according to oceanographers, a blue one is believed to be as rare as one in two million and is thought to be caused by genetic mutation. This is obviously as special catch, oddly enough my father in law had one a couple of years ago and he donated it to Southend sea life centre. Unfortunately they don’t have room for this one so we are currently trying to find an aquarium that wants to display her. If you know one interested then please put them in touch with me.
    Aside from catching lobsters we have seen a mix of other species throughout the last week. This includes thorn-back rays, bass, smooth-hounds and some more codling too! Catches vary a lot depending on where we are fishing. some times we have seen better numbers of hounds and bass and other times we have seen more rays. The main thing is we have seen plenty of smiles on faces.
    I have a bit of mid-week availability for full boat bookings and individuals coming up as well as a couple of spaces with a regular group that are short of people this Saturday (08th)
