  • 17/10/2017 Fishing Report by Phil White on Chinook 3 (Bradwell Marina, Essex)

    17 Oct 2017 by Phil White

    Report on-board Chinook 3

    The weather over the last fortnight has been quite lovely with some warm days and sunny skies. This has allowed our anglers to get out and enjoy some excellent sport with a variety of species.

    Offshore

    The Bass fishing has been superb with some cracking fish showing, we have had quite a few fish around
    6-7lb and a lot around 3-4 lb, these fish are further off on the banks and will move off soon.

    There are plenty of Thornbacks around with some really lovely fish up to 10lb reported, these fish will stay around for most of the winter depending on water temperature and food.

    There are lots of Whiting showing up in all areas, some of these fish are a decent size, best baits are fish and lug.

    Inshore

    There are lots more Thornbacks showing in most areas and these are very welcome with the absence of cod at the moment, best baits are squid and herring.

    The whiting are pushing into all the Estuaries in good numbers and this is good news when the weather does not allow us to get further out. The dabs are starting to feed on the small tides.

    The piers and shore marks are producing Whiting, Thornbacks and Dabs with the odd codling, best tides are springs mid flood to mid ebb.

    Prospects are excellent but this depends on weather the cod show up, there are reports of a few more than last winter so fingers crossed.

  • 14/10/2017 Fishing Report by Philip Higgins on Mistress Linda / San Gina3 (Poole, Dorset)

    14 Oct 2017 by Philip Higgins

    Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3

    Poole continues to enjoy some excellent Plaice fishing in and outside of the Harbour with fish being caught to 4lb along with plenty of Garfish action, local angler Keith set a new PB when he landed an Octopus in very shallow water. Last weekend we ventured out to the wrecks in search of big Black Bream and hoping to see a Red Bream, drifting over the wrecks proved fruitless but once at anchor the fishing took off with Bream to 5lb 4ozs coming aboard all day until the tide got going again, over slack water Tope came on the feed. Sadly we did not see a Red Bream. Soon we will be heading out seeking those big winter Cod, if you would like to join me on one of these trips please call.
    all the best

  • 14/10/2017 Fishing Report by Steve Green on Brigand (Brighton, East Sussex)

    14 Oct 2017 by Steve Green

    Report on-board Brigand

    Been super busy of late so not the usual updates.

    In summary - we’ve been putting in the miles and hitting offshore marks at every opportunity targeting Turbot & Brill whilst the wrecks are not yet up to speed. Had some amazing days and even the slower days have seen us boating around a dozen keepable flatties each trip.
    Latter part of the season has seen an abundance of cuttle snaffling baits before the flatties can get to them - the upside of that is a discovery that cuttle seared in pepper & chilli is quite special!
    Water temps remain very high which is holding the summer species so I expect we will continue on the Turbot/Brill/Bass trips for the next few weeks at least.
    Big rays are becoming more frequent with Big Blondes really testing the 12-20lb class gear and we are averaging 9 species of fish per trip so plenty to keep us guessing what’s putting the bend in the rods.

    This month is full, opened up some new dates for 1st week of November so if you would like to get out drop me a line.

    Best wishes

    Steve

  • 14/10/2017 Fishing Report by TERRY BATT on Vanishing Point-2 (Bradwell Marina, Essex)

    14 Oct 2017 by TERRY BATT

    Report on-board Vanishing Point-2

    Hi guys... sorry it's been a while but been busy with late season Bass fishing which I have to say has been as good as it's ever been, despite what the doom and gloomers would have you believe...!!!
    There are a few Cod being reported close in now, I have not had any on my boat yet but in fairness we have not really tried in earnest for them, but a pal of mine on another charter boat told me of a 16lbs Cod caught just two days ago right where we were fishing yesterday, I am not at all surprised, as there are large shoals of Whiting in the area now, so it might be worth putting out a live bait to tempt a large Cod to the hook..!!
    There quite a lot of Thornback Rays moving in now we had over 20 yesterday along with Doggies and Whiting all the lads were happy filleting on a slow ride home back to Bradwell..... well done everyone great day, and good company...... see you all again soon.
    The Vanishing Point-2 has been out of the water for a good spruce up polished anti-fouled a few cosmetic repairs and it looking like new again....
    If you want to get out during the week, as we have very little space on weekends, then give us a call on: 07768306646
