  • 06/2022 Fishing Report by Mark Peters on DAWN TIDE II (Wallasea Island, Essex)

    Jun 2022 by Mark Peters

    Report on-board DAWN TIDE II

    Quick one!
    Plenty of sizeable bass around especially on the lures the better ones arevcoming up among the schoolies too! The Bigger bass showing in deeper water as always,

    Hound fishing is better inshore than offshore at the moment & live hermits from my pots have definitely got the edge on the big hounds!!

    Rays are a bit slow but haven’t really targeted them much but numbers are down this season im Sure if you target them you’ll get a few.

    Tope are showing offshore had lots of small to medium ones but no monsters this season yet! But there is still plenty of time
    you do need the fresh mackerel for these & they have just started to show finally.

    I am mainly targeting bass at the moment especially on the lures its great fun !!!
    il do hound trips when its too windy to get offshore in the sheltered waters been some big fish close to home too!

    Thanks everyone for the support see you all aboard soon diary is very busy try to book in advance if you can but there is loads of time to
    Get out yet

  • 06/2022 Fishing Report by Scott Belbin on Galloper (Brightlingsea, Essex)

    Jun 2022 by Scott Belbin

    Report on-board Galloper

    We have seen a fair variety of weather on our trips from flat calm (occasionally) to squally showers. Thankfully it has been sunny and warm for the most part (as you may tell from the colour of my nose and my panda eyes). With various directions of wind we have been grateful that there are plenty of fish to be found in most places. Our general trips have been mostly targeting hounds and bass. Although plenty of other species have made up the numbers including thorn-backs, dogfish and even numbers of small tope. We have seen other species too including tub gurnard and a few silver eels. Tim and the boys had a great day the other week. Tim may have missed the sun but he and the boys had some great fun catching rays, dogfish, bass and some decent hounds. There was no shortage of energy and enthusiasm from the boys who did their best to keep me on my toes as usual. The biggest hounds went into double figures which put a smile on all of our faces.


    My next spaces offshore are for tope. These are for experienced anglers only and I don’t offer hire rods for this fishing. I only have a few suitable tides left for tope fishing this year offshore trips will mainly concentrate on bass after that.

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    A slowish picking for yesterday’s lads.
    A breezy sort of morning hindering the angling somewhat, however the lads did pick fish up everywhere we went but just not that many!
    A great crack on board all day long made the day fly by!
    James Webster taking the best bag with 8 fish for himself.
    No big fish landed at all on this trip.
    Cheers for now,

  • 06/2022 Fishing Report by anthony collins on Kestrel warrior 6 (Newhaven, East Sussex)

    Jun 2022 by anthony collins

    Report on-board Kestrel warrior 6


    So last trip we went on didn't quite go to plan. We started off on a high. Going out to sea it was like glass seeing all the boats out at sea we knew it would be a good day. Once at the mark we caught some bait and the decided to drop the anker. when we started off we caught many different types of fish started off with plaice dabs mackerel pout gurnard dogs smoothies and ells once the tide turned we started to catch rays with some big ones being landed. Then the wind picked up and we lost a crew member to sea sickness so we tried to go in close but it made no difference so I called the boat trip early and headed to the marina so they could recover.

  • 24/06/2022 Fishing Report by Andy Savage on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    24 Jun 2022 by Andy Savage

    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    A slightly delayed catch report covering two days. The long hours this week caught up with me and I needed an early night!!

    Thursday and Friday were full boat bookings for two groups of friends, which are days that I really enjoy. The weather this week has generally seen very light winds in the morning and then a bit of SE breeze coming in the afternoons, making the fishing more difficult. For that reason we left early, to make the most of the better fishing conditions.

    On Thursday we headed south to do some inshore wreck hopping. The first couple of wrecks gave us a few fish, to get everyone off the mark. With plenty of choice, I picked the ones which matched our drift, to increase our length of time spent on the wreck. It became apparent that the further south we moved the greener the water looked and bites became harder to come by.

    We made the decision to run back up above Whitby, where the water proved to be far clearer. Bait traces, shads and even John-Will’s Christmas decoration (see picture) caught fish. Top rod by some margin was Norman Taylor, who literally had a fish a drift all day long and fished outstandingly. His concentration when drifting through the wreck is always great to watch.

    On Friday we planned to repeat the inshore wreck hopping, but use the wrecks above Whitby where the water clarity was better. During the Ebb tide in the morning, the fishing wasn’t spectacular, but we took fish off every wreck we visited. There was almost a 50/50 split between bait fishing and Shad fishing. We spent a bit of time at slack water on a wreck which was by far the best of the day…….so far.

    Once the flood tide got away, we moved onto a couple of wrecks closer in, which turned out to be a good move. We took 3-4 fish a drift for the remainder of the day. Again, split 50/50 between bait and Shads. Ling to 11lb and Codling to 6lb made it into a decent afternoon.

    The lads on board kept some nice fish to take home. But credit to them, they threw back alot more Codling than they took home; which was nice to see. I enjoyed both days and really appreciate the bookings/support which I’ve had this year.

    25 Jun 2022 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    Paul Mawson and his mates booked the boat for a 12 hour trip yesterday.
    We sailed at 5am and because the forecast was to freshen up from the SE we decided to run to some marks East of the harbour.
    The first stop producing around 15 fish with Codling to around 6lb.
    Second mark gave the lads another dozen or so fish that’s all, so we moved to the outermost place on our route and this provided the lads with some quite superb fishing for the rest of the day.
    Plenty of Cod to 10lb with a good number of “double ups “ and organiser Paul clicking a cracking Ling of 20lb 8oz which is the biggest fish on the rod out of Whitby so far this year. He commented that we should have saved it until he was on again in the upcoming Summer competition!
    We’ll just have to try and find his big brother!!
    Simon England taking a nice Ling of 15lb too.
    The lads thoroughly enjoyed the trip with excellent banter throughout the day too.
    Cheers lads and see you all soon.
    Tight lines,
    Rich
