Hi bigger pollock now appearing on far offshore wrecks not in great numbers yet but good fish. Coalfish a bit slow at the moment but it should improve with a chance of Cod when weather gets s bit colder . Fishing the wrecks through the winter when weather appropriate and water clarity ok cheers Roy

It's always nice to see Tony and the lads and they had a great day on the bass the other day. There was a mixed stamp of fish coming out but some decent ones among them. The lads had 10-15 each and a few other bits and bobs too such as whiting and dogfish in between the bass. It might not be what we traditionally expect but who can knock fishing like this in November?

How the Seasons have changed. I'm old enough to remember the annual pilgrimage to Lymington for the National Cod fishing Comp. The combination of temperature and sea conditions, never added to the excitement of taking part. In complete contrast today ,we fished for Bass in short sleeves. A truly epic days fishing . Well over 100 Bass to the net. Only a few kept the rest returned. My crew today was the grandson of legendary Bass fisherman Tony Harvey. Well done everyone. We are available for week and weekend charters ,competitions etc. Aboard this comfortable ,stable Catamaran. We put you on the fish, not in the harbour. WWW.UBERSCUBA.CO,UK OR CALL 07516510695

Fantastic weather today and a lovely day out again……
View Boats Page
With very light winds and falling tides, we had a nice day out with great fishing conditions. I had a mixed group of anglers aboard, a couple whom I’d never met before, and some who I’ve not had on for a while. Plenty to talk about all day; it was set to be an enjoyable one.
We started the day off with a couple of wrecks. Unfortunately the first one had a fleet of Crab pots running off it, so we couldn’t get a drift in. The second one we tried was free of gear, so we got stuck in on the run into slack water. First drift we took a couple of plump Codling on Squid baited traces, which told us there were a few fish at home. As we began to lose the Flood Tide, the next few drifts saw two or three nice fish each run through. Mainly Codling around 3-4lb with an odd Ling.
Unfortunately, as soon as we got to slack water and even waited for the Ebb to push through, sport just tailed off. As the tide was now away, we headed for the seven mile ground and spent an hour or so on the drift. With the light breeze we had, the drift wasn’t perfect and instead of running along the usually productive ridges, we were crossing over them. This reduced the amount of time in the target area, which reduced the number of bites.
We took small Codling, Haddock, Pouting and Ling every drift when we were on the ridges, but very little from the softer areas.
After an hour or so, I thought we’d be better off on the nine mile ground, so that’s where we spent the rest of the day. A few fruitless drifts at the north end of the ground had me thinking I’d cocked up!Heading further south, thankfully we found a few fish again to spend the last couple of hours.
One area in particular gave us a few good drifts, with Keith Pickering taking his first double figure Ling at 10lb 8oz and Harry Bateman taking the biggest Cod of the day at 8lb 4oz. Everyone had a few fish to take away today and after three overcast days, the sun finally burst through to end a really enjoyable day for me. Thanks lads, you were brilliant company.UPCOMING INDIVIDUAL SPACES ONBOARD Sea Urchin IIl

It’s been a few days since I’ve managed to find the time to get a catch report together.

The incredibly settled weather (for the time of year) has continued on, so thankfully we’ve been out at sea every day. It was Spring Tides over the weekend, so, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday saw us Uptiding.
After a couple of promising signs earlier in October, it looks like the colour is dropping out of the water again with the settled weather.
A similar pattern emerged over the four Uptiding days. Leaving the harbour with the Ebb Tide running, it wasn’t particularly prolific on any of the days. We caught fish, but sport was patchy. Resident Codling, Pouting, Whiting, Haddock, Dog Fish, Wrasse and Lobsters came our way, but nothing worthy of getting camera out.
Sport improved each day with the Flood Tide and it coincided with us catching the few fresh run fish that we landed. All the fish came on the usual baits of Squid, Black Lug, and Crab Cart.
Tony Firman took the biggest Cod we had over that period with a fish of 5lb. Like I said, there were plenty of bites (apart from Monday, which was very quiet), but the average stamp is currently quite small.
With the tides now falling away and yesterday being poor fishing at anchor, today we were back drifting the rough ground and a couple of wrecks. With it being a 5m tide, we started the day off around slack water on a couple of wrecks in the five mile stream which yielded very little. Once the Ebb came through we started working the ground marks. Five mile produced only a handful of fish; seven mile wasn’t a great deal better, but we took two or three fish a drift of mainly Ling and Haddock.
A run out to the nine mile ground gave better results and we found a few more Codling and a better stamp of Ling. The five day period hasn’t seen any amazing fishing, but the anglers I’ve had aboard have been brilliant and have kept at it all day. I’ve had a go with a Shad today and still took an odd fish or two, so there’s still good clarity in the water for those coming over the next few days.
Thanks to everyone for the continued support. I really appreciate it.

Another fantastic day out on the wrecks here aboard www.brigandbrighton.com with a wonderful crew.
A little bit flaky with the fish dispersed across a number of wrecks but the guys stuck at the task and would Julie rewarded with some fine early winter Pollock.
a few bigger fish in the mix with a couple of doubles but in the main the fish were in the 4 to £8 class.
I'm sure there are a number of reasons why we are experiencing this rather unusual (but very welcome!) Excellent wreck Fishing the top of the list must be this year's ban on commercial Pollock fishing which does appear to be having an immediate and positive impact for the charter and recreational sectors.
My thanks to a wonderful crew for a most enjoyable day at sea and to call Pope who kept things ticking along in his very understated way.
We are going to be running offshore wreck fishing trips throughout this month and into December as long as the Fishing remains as good as it is now if it doesn't, we won't and will be sure to update you.

We've been making the most of the weather and getting lots of offshore bass fishing in. The fishing hasn't disappointed at all with plenty of mackerel for lives when we need them. Lots of tub gurnard showing and of course the bass too. There were some decent fish on lives and then a really hectic time on lures to end the day. Stanley was pleased with his colourful gurnards to start with before the bass. It was nice to see him catch some bass on lures after pestering me for ages to use them. He's not doing too badly for 3 years of age. Most of the lads were catching a fish a drop towards the end so god knows what the final tally of bass was. Hopefully we get a good few more trips off there over the next few weeks.
