Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
Taking advantage of the nice weather, we had a mixed group of lads today, for the Uptiding trip.
With the tides still in the 5m range, we got off to a good start on the last of the flood tide, with plenty of Codling coming up. Nothing exceptional, most were in the 2-3lb bracket. But it was good to see bites all around the boat.
We had a couple of moves during the Ebb but unfortunately there wasn’t he same volume of bites. Frustratingly, the SSE wind lifted after dinner making the boat swing on the anchor.
However, the lads stuck at it and we got a great reward late afternoon on the last move, with a few more for the pan and a nice 5lb 8oz fish to end a great day in great company.
Everyone took away a few fish for the table, but unfortunately we didn’t find any monsters……but there’s always tomorrow.

Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
Tom Mycroft booked the boat today for family and friends. With a big 5.5m tide Uptiding was the order of the day.
We caught the last couple of hours of the Ebb tide and picked off a few Codling. Nothing exceptional, but there were a fair number of bites.
Once the flood tide got away the bites came again, but this time Jed managed to find a better size Codling of 6lb. Unfortunately we had no Black Lugworm on board today, which I’m certain would have put a few more fish in the boxes and something I would definitely recommend for anyone coming Uptiding.
The chat and banter continued all day and the hours flew by. A really nice day out in good company. View Boats Page

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
We managed a run out yesterday with a mixed group of lads. To be fair it wasn’t the best of days condition wise but the lads were keen enough to give it a try.
Uptiding was the order of the day with the tide running strong on a 5.7m.
The first stop proved fruitless with just a couple of Codling caught so we had a move a bit further up the coast and found a few more for the lads.
No great shakes but some good banter throughout the day.
Dale from Consett, County Durham on his maiden trip on a boat, was well pleased when he landed his first ever fish, a lovely 6lb Codling. A big well done to him.
Thanks for sailing with us lads and hopefully see you all again soon.
The weather predictions for this week look fabulous with very light winds, so if you fancy a run out just give me a bell.
Cheers
Rich

Fishing Report by Simon Logan
on Deep Blue (Eastbourne, East Sussex)

Report on-board Deep Blue
The first annual ‘Eastbourne Spring Challenge’ match fishing comp took place on Wednesday across two boats and featuring 13 anglers. The anglers were of mixed abilities, with some in the current, and previous England home nations fishing team in attendance.
Given the time of year, and the conditions in the build up to the comp, there was a very respectable quantity and range of species brought over the gunwales. Fish over 18cm’s scored, with fish in groups of 1 point fish (inc whiting/pouting), 3 point fish (inc wrasse/dabs) and 5 point fish (inc rays/bass).
Over the 7 hour timeframe well over 400 fish were landed on deck. The fish weren’t weighed, but they were checked for length. Dogfish made up the bulk of the catches, but dabs, plaice, thornback rays, whiting, smooth hounds and a couple of unwanted guests (spider crabs) made up the numbers. The fishing grounds used were that of the Pevensey Shoals and inshore close to Hastings. Fishing at anchor over mud clay and shingle with rocky pinnacles framing the fishing zone was the ground of choice.
We provided the bait packs to the anglers which consisted of mackerel, lug and squid. 3 hooks maximum were allowed. The weather was grey overcast skies and relatively light easterly winds. High tide was at 10am so most of the fishing happened on the ebb, but lots of bites during slack water. View Boats Page

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Some settled weather at last!
Yesterday was our first trip out for a while after the boat being clear of the water for a couple of weeks whilst she had her 5 yearly out of water survey.
A mixed group of lads joined us for the day and we decided to have a run offshore as the tides were easy.
The first wreck produced around a dozen fish to keep which was ok. After that it went completely downhill and the remainder of the trip saw just 3 more fish boated!
Regular lad Bill Barraclough taking the best Codling at 5lb.
A change of approach on our next trip where we will be doing some more Uptiding as the tides start lifting again.
Cheers

on Galloper (Brightlingsea, Essex)
Mar 2022 by Scott Belbin
Report on-board Galloper
There have been steady numbers of roker coming in over the last few weeks. There are still plenty of fighting fit spring males there and a few big girls mixed in too.
With plenty of fish around we don’t have to worry about loosing many days to weather for a while. We have seen some busy fishing at times and as ever the occasional surprise aboard the Galloper.
The other Day Andy was playing a decent female ray to the boat and as she surfaced we could see why she was fighting so hard. She wasn’t alone and in fact had a male ‘attached’ to her. I have seen this several times before over the years and normally as they hit the surface the male lets go and swims off leaving her to face the music. However this time they surfaced right next to the boat and I was able to net both fish at once. I have had double shots of roker before and even a treble shot (after a few attempts) after being challenged to do so by fellow skipper John Rawle to do so. This however is the most roker I have seen boated on a single hook rig!
Another nice surprise this week was when Kev caught the first inshore hound of the year. We have had quite a few offshore where they can be caught all year round but this was the first one inshore and quite close to home too. She was a nice fish of around 7-8lbs which explained the lively scrap she put up on the way in.
The weather looks good for the week ahead and I have spaces Friday (18th) and Saturday (19th) @ £60pp if you are interested then please get in touch.

At last a proper shift in the sound. We were graced with calm seas and some sun, and some skate. We were off to abit of a slow start with the fish not feeding but by the time we hit full time 4 fish had been landed at 157-196lbs. The guys worked hard, checking baits, defecting the bait Pests and walked away 3 happy men. Here’s hoping for some good weather in the near future so we can keep at it ����

Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
A group of mates booked the boat today for an uptiding trip. Having had a bit of a stir up yesterday, we were unsure what would await us today.
We had a late start to let the wind and lift fall away a bit and then the lads got stuck in. Quite a few of them were more geared up for wrecking and rough ground fishing; using Hokkai’s etc. which resulted in more Pouting being caught than Cod initially.
A couple of lads then took the advice I offered and changed over to my rigs, and first cast one of them landed a 7lb 4oz Codling….result! After that most people switched over to uptiding rigs which saw a fair few Codling in the 2-3lb bracket come up as the Ebb Tide dropped away.
We had a move at slack water in readiness for the Flood Tide getting away and just as it started another 7lb Codling was picked up (on my hire rigs). It’s really important to use appropriate rigs. Tiny hooks and thin line are not ideal for the rough snaggy terrain we fish and breakaway leads are essential for uptiding.
I always want to try and help people as much as I can, to ultimately catch them more fish. Hopefully the lads learnt a few things today to add to their armoury for their next uptiding trip. Thanks boys, I enjoyed having you on board. View Boats Page
