    Report on-board Lady Ann

    After a long time sitting tied up, I fitted two new batteries and decided to have a sea trial to make sure everything was working ok after the boat sitting so long. Took a crewman with me for safety reasons. The weather was glorious with little wind after weeks of a strong N Easterly.
    We had redone all the reels with new line so testing was in order in very short time Crewman Dave boated a 10lbd Smoothound followed by yours truly with a 9 lbder see photo.
    So its all looking good for the big day when normal chartering can resume.

    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    Just dreaming about the past when we used to go fishing, hopefully it won't be too long until Boris gives us the go ahead, we will get some nice fish out of the wrecks which must be filling up now they have been left alone for a while, maybe one or two like that 22lb + Cod that Dave Shey caught with us winning the summer festival, with total winnings of £5550, still places available for both summer and autumn festivals if you fancy a go, in the mean time keep safe, I will keep posting updates on my sites if there are any signs we will be going.

    Thank you to all my customers old and new,
    Pete

    Report on-board Sea Otter 2

    Well the lockdown looks like going on for quite a while yet, but what I can say those wrecks will busting to the seems with fish when we get the go ahead .March stated so well with the wrecking stacks of cod and as the water gets a nice and clear the inshore wreck fishing will be a fishing bonanza for cod and ling .It is a little hard when you look out to sea and see it like glass perfect conditions but we will get there in the end .

    Stay safe it will be all worth it in the end ����������

  • 05/2020 Fishing Report by Scott Belbin on Galloper (Brightlingsea, Essex)

    May 2020 by Scott Belbin

    Report on-board Galloper

    while we are still under lockdown I thought I would take this time to report on our offshore trips between January and April (obviously cut short by the lockdown). Even on a big comfy catamaran we need the right weather and tides as well as some willing anglers to get over 30 miles offshore. This restricted our trips to just 4 this year, several were cancelled due to weather. The rest of our bookings were after the lockdown and typically the weather was cracking then! When we did get offshore we had varying amounts of thorn-backs and the obligatory dogfish. our main target species would be spurdogs as it has been for several years. These trips have produced some nice cod and bass in the past as well as a blonde ray a couple of years ago. With this in mind we try to cover all of the basses with our traces. Sure enough the very first cast on the first trip produced a double figure spurdog on each rod for Shane Ashby. The biggest went 15.4lbs and was a new PB for shane. The other went just over 13lbs. these are the stamp of fish we have come to expect around here over the years. unfortunately this brace of fish wasn’t a sign of things to come. We did catch a few more spurs throughout the day and a few hounds too. People often seem surprised when we catch the hounds off here at that time of year. The water was just shy of 10’c off there (3’c warmer than inshore at the same time) and the hounds do seem to run in the packs with the spurs. In fact I have seen hounds in small amounts in every month of the year off here. The next trip we managed 11 spurs but nothing bigger the 13lbs and nothing to beat Shanes first fish. with the lock down stopping us by the end of march we will have to wait until next year to target the spurdogs again and already have a couple of parties booked down for them. In the mean time who knows when we will be allowed out again? hopefully it will be in time to sample some of the fantastic sport we can have for smooth-hounds, bass or tope in the summer. If you wish to book a trip please get in touch or bear us in mind when we’re allowed out again.
    For now I am putting various reports on my website and facebook page to keep you occupied.

  • 04/2020 Fishing Report by Daniel Taylor on Better Days (Ramsgate, Kent)

    Apr 2020 by Daniel Taylor

    Report on-board Better Days

    Due to guide lines around the COVID-19 Virus, Trips have currently been suspended until it is safe to do so. The last couple of weeks we have managed to find a large amount of small codling off ramsgate, along with some good size early hounds just under 10lb. Still very early for them, and should see bigger and better soon along with the bass. Once trips continue we will be doing longer trips, with more fish, better weather and hopefully higher spirts. To all our customers stay safe and we will see you all onboard soon enough. Tight lines all.

    Report on-board Galloper

    Our best few trips were shortly before we had to stop going. We did three trips on the bounce with 72, 93 and 80 thorn-backs between 7 or 8 anglers. As usual most fish were returned alive and we kept just a few males for the table. There were a few decent females mixed in each trip with several low doubles and a nice pair one after the other both going over 16lbs (it was a bit lumpy and hard to get an accurate weight). Often we were the only boat within sight and we could fish in comfort with out having to seek extra shelter.
    Regarding any trips in the coming weeks and months. At the moment we are unable to take trips and even myself and stacey are abiding by the rules and only leaving the house for essential goods. Over the coming weeks and months we will take it week by week depending on what rules are tightened or relaxed. If you’re booked in for a trip please bear with me and I will evaluate it nearer the time. If you wish to book for a future trip please feel free to do so. We promise not to spent your deposits on bulk buying loo roll and instead keep them separate in case they need to be returned to you.
    If you fancy a trip and wish to know my availability please call 07956411528 and I will update you with our current plans or visit my website and have a look at the availability page at http://www.essexseafishing.co.uk/availability/
    Please keep an eye on the essex sea fishing page for more reports old and new over the coming weeks.
