    Report on-board Galloper

    Sorry I haven't posted much lately. To be honest I've been very busy and didn't want to turn more people away. There's been some lovely variety coming out over the last week or two. We've seen some more stingrays and our biggest by far the other night. Mark had a plaice on a general trip and we've seen a few small thornback rays. Stanley had one just the right size for him. The bass fishing has been good inshore and offshore lately depending on the tides and there have been some nice hounds too. I have a few spaces over the next couple of weeks before I head south for tuna and more. If you want to join us here in brightlingsea or for tuna in Plymouth please get in touch.
    Next spaces are
    25/08- 2 spaces @ £60pp
    27/08- offshore bass trip 4 spaces @ £100pp plus bait
    29/08- 4 spaces @ £60pp
    I also have individual spaces and boat bookings available for tuna in Plymouth
    Please contact me on 07956411528 for more information

  • 20/08/2024 Fishing Report by Nick Gough on Skylark (Scarborough, North Yorkshire)

    20 Aug 2024 by Nick Gough

    Report on-board Skylark

    Hour and two 3 hour trips


    Very strong south westerly winds today so most of today's fishing had to be close to the cliffs to avoid the winds as much as we could. Sea conditions were quite flat just a bit splashy and white water in areas where the wind could funnel through the land.


    On all the trips we fished a similar area which overall produced loads of mackerel and a good amount of Pollock.




    We tried many techniques throughout the day from drifting with lures to anchoring with bait when the wind freshened. Both techniques worked fairly well with neither really having a advantage apart from avoiding the mackerel with bait.

    While at anchor we manage to catch other species like Ballen wrasse, pouting and coalfish as well as a few Pollock.

    On the drift we mainly caugh mackerel and Pollock and a lonely weaver when had a tangle and drifted off the rock a fair bit

    Majority of the anglers today were first time anglers which seemed to enjoy the mixture of fish.

    Report on-board High Flyer 2

    Keeping us to date been holiday time round Gt Yarmouth so family time nice to see small people aboard High Flyer 2 getting young anglers interested in the sport. At first most apprehensive about touching fish cutting bait putting on worms but by end of day all thats forgotten and we have budding anglers on our hands the future of angling. We sometiimes operate a shorter day in the summer at less cost for the younger generation so please ask regarding availability. Cheers Jon

    Report on-board Rocket

    Angling Charters continue to dictated to by the unseasonal weather. The advantage of having such a large and stable vessel , mean we often fish when and where others are unable too. We regularly fish and dive Offshore wrecks and Reefs, looking for decent sport. Tope fishing has been well above expectation. Mackerel continue to be scarce out deep ,so prudent to bring some frozen bait with you. Tuna sightings are increasing ,and we are readying ourselves . Our PBA supplied gear is truly smoking , when viewed from our Sports Flybridge. Rocket is currently being fitted with Outriggers ,to increase the width of our spread. Exciting times ahead.

    Report on-board Skylark

    8 hour and 3 hour fishing trips

    As the tides are now building we travelled inshore traveling to the marks we passed several porpoise surface on the drive and again further up the coast.

    Plenty of mackerel been caught we moved to several marks and unfortunately we just couldn't get through the mackerel to catch anything else after several moves around we ran offshore to a inshore wreck as the tide was becoming slack water inshore.

    On the wrecks we still were catching the occasional mackerel bit we did get some nice Pollock aswel as the tide turned the wrecks became unfishable with the drift speed rapidly increasing.

    We then ran back inshore which like before we were plaged with mackerel and the occasional codling

    The 3 hour trip we ran inshore as the winds had picked up a lot more.

    Fishing was instant with plenty of plump mackerel coming over the rail. Shads seamed to keep the mackerel at bay and did manage to catch Ballen wrasse and codling.

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    Yesterday we had Brian Cunningham’s team of 4 on chartering the boat for themselves.
    Tomasz joined them too for a run out as they had come short.

    As usual we stopped off for a few Mackerel at the bouy which were plentiful for the lads and after just a couple of drops we had enough for the day.

    We ran straight back to the grounds we had worked the day before which were showing signs of a decent fishing shaping up.
    All change again!
    We worked it for an hour or so and only managed a dozen or so fish there.

    Slack water was around 11.0am so we dropped into the West a couple of miles and had a go at a small piece of wreckage.

    It fished quite well for an hour and the lads took around 25 fish from it with Cod to just under 7lb.

    It’s great when we are running with a light team as it gives young Fergus and me a chance to have a go too.
    I was working a blue and white 4” shad and took a couple of nice Ling from it.
    Love a Ling curry!

    We finished the day off on another strip of ground just 7 miles from port and took another dozen fish there. The day finished off well really and the lads were all well pleased with the results.

    A few fresh Mackerel at the bouy to take for the BBQ’s before finishing and the day was done.

    Thanks to Les, Eric, Sped, Mick and Tomasz for your great company as ever.

    Cheers
    Rich

    Report on-board Galloper

    Sorry I haven't been on here much this week or so but I have been very busy on the boat and at home.
    We have been making the most of the good weather and catching some nice fish. There have been a few different species although most trips are made up with bass and hounds.
    Our offshore trips are mainly targeting bass from now until December and we have seen some great shoals of fish working at times (though not always that easy to catch) and the bait fishing has been good at times too.
    I have spaces this week on general trips and next week offshore bass trips and general trips. Please contact me to check availability by phone

    Photos from todays 8hr trip

    We started off just outside the harbour for a few mackerel which finally seem established. We quickly filled a few tubs for bait for the rest of the day.

    We then ran offside with the winds and tide being favourable for wreck fishing.

    First drift produced a couple of nice size cod and after a few drifts fishing dried up so we ventured out to another wreck. This seamed to be the same for most wrecks with a few fishing better than others.

    Overall all the lads took home a really good stamp of cod with most been around the 5lb to 8lb area with very little codling making a show.

    The angers also had a few strappy ling but today's focus was mainly for cod, one customer seamed to get some coalfish around 3lb area.

    Best rigs today was baited Muppets and hokkais, with shads also working well.

    Hopefully lots of happy anglers who have tried other boats recently and were really happy with the trip we provided. Glad they gave us a try and hope to see you all again soon
