Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
Well that was a great day for ducks….my webbed feet are coming along nicely!! We started in the rain, ended in the rain and for most of the day…..you guessed it; it rained!! We had a group of mixed abilities on board today and the fishing conditions were really quite challenging.
The forecasted NW wind was a fair bit stronger than advertised and gave a bit of lift first thing on the Ebb tide. First stop and first drop saw Richard Wheatley bring up 4lb 8oz Codling and we thought we’d pick a few more off. Unfortunately not, so after a quiet half hour, we relocated to a weedy gully as the tide began to ease.
This proved to be a good move as in fairly short order Simon West landed Codling of 8lb 4oz and 6lb 8oz, and Charlie Hewitt also landed one of 8lb. The fish fell to the usual Squid and Black Lug cocktails. We picked away for the remainder of the Ebb and then to be fair, the fishing became hard.
A big flood tide saw just a handful of Codling landed after dinner, but the boys persevered and remained in great spirits despite the dismal weather. I think we were all ready for home today. We got the quality again, but not quite the quantity I would have liked. But that’s why we call it fishing, not catching. Well done everyone, thanks for a good day out and see you next time.

Fishing Report by Scott Belbin
on Galloper (Brightlingsea, Essex)

Report on-board Galloper
The last couple of months have been hard work at times inshore. A large influx of sprats moved in around mid-January and along with unsettled temperatures this stopped a lot of the fish feeding. However, we have plucked away and found a few thorn-back rays, whiting, dogfish and flatties to keep us occupied. We had a nice surprise the other week when Barry snuck out a coalfish in under 10ft of water. This certainly wasn’t what we expected and livened up the day for us. I hate the thought of missing out on good fishing so I like to get out once or twice a week to see how the fishing is doing. unfortunately we lost the best part of two weeks to the series of storms that ran through causing havoc. Thankfully by the time the weather had broken we got back afloat to find the fish to be feeding again. The last few trips have been producing good numbers of rays, dogfish and whiting for us. there are plenty of males ideal for the pot and some cracking big females ready to lay their eggs (obviously returned).
Pictured are Billy-Roy and his Dad Carl who found plenty of rays feeding the other day, as ever Billy-Roy had the most fish with several double shots of whiting and some dogfish too.
At this time of year as the sun get higher in the sky and temperatures rise, the fish are feeding and us skippers have most of our job done for us. I would expect thorn-back rays to be our main target inshore for the next few weeks or more. We have already seen a few hounds showing in places so it will only be a matter of time before these, along with the bass move in too. I have a few spaces this weekend and later in the month so get in touch if you fancy a trip out aboard the Galloper.

Report on-board Ebony May
2021 was probably one of our best seasons to date ,good numbers of Bass ,Tope and Pollack were caught throughout the year. The Tope arrived early in the middle of April and remained right through until September.The fish averaged 35 to 45lb, although the largest fish we caught was a fish of 60lb.It should be noted that the British shore Tope record was broken this year with a Tope of 82lb .This fish was caught not far from our location in Pembrokeshire. The mackerel arrived in May followed shortly after by the Bass shoals ,plenty of fish being caught on both lures and live baits .The Bass remained right through until October with some good size fish between 5 to 8lb being caught .The Pollack fishing was also excellent ,we were mainly fishing offshore during May/June targeting wrecks and Lundy area with plenty of fish 3 to 5lb mark,with the occasional Coalfish and Cod being landed. In addition to Tope ,Bass and Pollack we also caught other species such as Wray ,Huss ,Smooth hounds .Sharks , Bream and Wrasse .

Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
What a brilliant day out we had today with some good friends on board. With the recent poor weather, it’s been a while since we’ve had a nice day out with good conditions, but today was the day.
A boat booking for four anglers meant there was loads of room on board and we headed out for a days uptiding in much better tides. First stop as the Ebb Tide was just easing down saw a few small Codling and a Lobster make an appearance.
As we ran into slack water, the boat started to swing on the anchor (#standard) and the bites tailed off. We took the opportunity to have a move and got the boat set again, just as the Flood Tide got away.
Then, as is often the way when the tide turns; it was like somebody had flicked a switch and the bites started to come regularly.
We managed both quantity and quality today. Top rod was Tony Barrett who took 16 Codling up to 4lb 8oz. Ian Kellock did what Ian Kellock does and winkled out a brace of “8 Pounders” among his fish!!
Even the Skipper managed an “8 Pounder” as well. It turned out to be quite a productive spot, which we persevered with for the remainder of the day. We all had a fair few to take away today.
Squid and Black Lug accounted for the majority as normal. A great day spent in great company. Thanks boys……. View Boats Page

A couple of nice skate for the lads on Friday. And finally put a bend in the new rods. The day started off great with calm seas and Graeme dropping the anchor right on fish. Unfortunately the weather turned for the worst so headed in early.
Tuesday has a perfect forecast (all day!) if anyone’s interested in a trip get in touch ASAP. View Boats Page

Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
After yet another lengthy lay off with poor weather, we took advantage of falling winds yesterday, to have an afternoon/evening uptiding session.
The tides are still on the small side, which gave a few problems around slack water with the boat swinging on the anchor, making presentation difficult at times.
The fishing was far from exceptional, but there were a few fish coming up at intervals. The Ebb tide was more productive than the flood and it was the usual Squid and Black Lug that did the majority of the bites.
Tony Barrett was top rod, picking away nicely with mainly small Codling. He used a block of homemade “mussel cart” with his squid and lug to help increase attraction; which certainly seemed to pay off.
It looks like we are finally getting some steady weather next week, along with rising bigger tides, which will allow us to put a few days fishing together. I have the following availability for anyone who fancies a day out uptiding.
28th Feb - 6 Spaces
1st March - Fully Booked
2nd March - 2 Spaces
3rd March - 8 Spaces
4th March - 5 Spaces
