  • 08/2022 Fishing Report by Steve Green on Brigand (Brighton, East Sussex)

    Aug 2022 by Steve Green

    Report on-board Brigand

    Just as things start hotting up on the Turbot, Brill and Cod front we get hit by winds that are just too strong for us to get out and fish in comfort…. How frustrating!
    On the upside, great to see Cod in decent numbers and this blow won’t do any harm on that front so anticipate a strong September & October on both the flatties and Cod.
    We still have a few spaces remaining on scheduled trips this year but will not be adding any additional dates before we end the season in 7 weeks time so if you want to get some Turbot, Cod, Bream before the end of the year take a look at our booking calendar and drop us a line.
    Best wishes

  • 28/08/2022 Fishing Report by Peter Mackintosh on Mistress (Tyne, Tyne and Wear)

    28 Aug 2022 by Peter Mackintosh

    Report on-board Mistress

    This morning, there was hardly a breath of wind and when we left the harbour the sea was like a mill pond. The fog began to thicken as we headed for the first wreck. After picking up mackerel for bait, we had a go for a few Cod and picked up a couple of small ones, which were returned for another day. There was some decent size coal fish taken in the same spot. We travelled to some wrecks beyond the 10 mile and found a better stamp of fish. The skipper, Tony, had a good day and pulled up a decent Ling around the 8lb mark, followed by a nice haddock. It's good to see them being landed more frequently. Hopefully, the stocks are starting to make a bit of a recovery in the area. Fred, a regular onboard, caught a decent Pollock, about 5lb. Best bait on the day was mackerel used with hokkais. When the sun did break through the fog, it was roasting onboard. All in all, a good days fishing.

    If you would like to give boat angling a try for the first time, rods are available to hire and tackle can be purchased onboard. Contact the skipper, Tony, for more information. Tight lines.

    28 Aug 2022 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    There’s never two days alike in this game!
    Yesterday’s crew dropped dead lucky with the fishing and the weather.
    We sailed with just 6 of them after being let down by 4 other anglers and they all agreed to put a little more into the kitty for fuel so as to try and get out of the tide a little.
    First stop produced around a dozen fish with a mixed bag of species.
    The second stop produced for around 3 hours steady with a couple of double hookers too, which basically rounded the day off perfectly.
    Baited rigs fishing the best without doubt.
    Great crack all day and some really excellent wreck fishing.
    Cheers lads, I really enjoyed the day with you all.

    27 Aug 2022 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    Scratched around all over again yesterday for a bare picking.
    Plenty of Mackerel to start the day as usual, then out to a tiny wreck 3 miles off to drop on slack water.
    I thought we’d cracked it on the first drop when 6 fish came up immediately with a double up of Codling for Nick Ball too! Young Oscar from Richmond took a nice little Ling at 5lb 4oz which he was well pleased with. Two or three more drops on it proving fruitless really with just another 3 or 4 more fish. Total tally for the day, around 20 fish.
    After the tide got running that was it really and we scratted around for a very odd fish here and there.
    As I mentioned in my previous report, the amount of herring in the water here at Whitby at the moment is mad. We took a Codling yesterday which came up with a full herring hanging out of its mouth! The amount of feed this time of the year always makes things a little slow for us. This is why it’s called “fishing” and not “catching!”
    Cheers for now lads and always keep a tight line.

  • 08/2022 Fishing Report by Mark Peters on DAWN TIDE II (Wallasea Island, Essex)

    Aug 2022 by Mark Peters

    Report on-board DAWN TIDE II

    Well the decent stamp of bass has increased again several most trips between 2-5lb with the odd better one to 8lb!!
    all the fish have been local on the lures & worm baits. Bass is our main target until the season ends midd November its prime time now,

    I Will have to start pushing further offshore as temperatures drop but we have plenty of time local yet now the betters ones are showing,

    But please remember further offshore trips are longer days & cost a bit more
    Unfortunately fuel isn’t free
    but most of you know me by now always chasing them Bass especially on the lures!!!

    October is when it really kicks off offshore with the numbers & sizes increasing even more worm lives baits, squid but lures normally do really well

    Been a great summer weather & fish wise lets hope autumn is the same
    Thanks to everyone for the support through out the season hope to see you all onboard soon

    Remember to Keep an eye on my my website for cancellations or spaces the diary is pretty rammed 6-7 weeks ahead but get in-touch il always try must best to get everyone afloat www.dawntidecharterfishing.co.uk
    & social media @dawntidecharters for availability, reports & updates
