There's been a few more hounds and bass showing closer in over the last few trips. The lads from Suffolk police had the most hounds lately with 14 for the day though nothing huge. The bass are increasing in numbers too and there are some nice rays coming out too. Of course if you are really lucky then you could catch a whiting or dogfish!
Still a few spaces over the Easter weekend if you want to join us and plenty more space over the coming weeks.

Just a little reminder of what the offshore trips can produce from brightlingsea in the spring. These pictures are some of last year's fish but this year's trips are in full swing and I will report on those at the end of the season as usual so it's no good waiting for reports before booking. As well as spurs we can catch smooth hounds, thornback ray, bass, cod and even things like blonde rays on these trips. All sorts of species can show which keeps it interesting between the doggies and whiting. Our best day last year was 64 spurs and lots around the 20lb mark. I offer full boat bookings or individual spaces and have availability both offshore and on general trips in the coming weeks so please get in touch. No other local boats can offer the same track record on these trips as I can.

Had some great fishing again this week for the time of year!
Latest round of the Piscary Super League were 2 totally different days.On the Thursday we decided to go offshore, fishing wasn't as good as the day before when we had quite a few Spurs and Bullhuss but they did have 9 species including Spurs, Bullhuss,3 Bearded Rockling, Congers and Rays. Top 3 in the points were
1st Matt Pitter 114
2nd Luke Allen 108
3rd Kim Bowden 98
The next day conditions weren't quite as good, so we stayed inshore which made for a much better match with an unbelievable 19 species, smashing all the records for March, we had Mackerel,Bream , Plaice,3 species of Ray, 2 Turbot and 5 Brill! Top 3 in the points
1st Gary Young 222
2nd Darren Phillips 199
3rd Paul Hollyoake 179 .

Mark and the lads had some nice bass and small smooth hounds the other day in between loads of dogfish, whiting and pouting. It was nice to see Adam getting a pb bass on some light tackle. He worked hard for that fish in a bit of rain.

March has really kicked the fishing off with the hounds and bass being a little early this year and coming up already in good numbers! Most trips averaging 20+ Hounds a trip with the occasional bonus bass. Now the crab are starting to peel it’s only going to get better with this weather. Remember crab is available on all trips and will give you that extra edge over everyone else.

Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
Don’t be fooled by the pictures…..today was was a really tough fishing day, made into a thoroughly enjoyable day by the anglers aboard.
We had a small tide but the winds were a bit too fresh for running out to offshore wrecks. That gave us the option of fishing inside at anchor as the inshore wrecks and ground still haven’t sparked up yet. We headed South to make the most of the tide and after an hours run we put the anchor down. With the area receiving little pressure this winter, I hoped there would be a few willing resident Codling that would come and find us.
I was wrong, simple as that. We had dropped anchor in the fishy equivalent of Dogs Trust, with a constant stream of DogFish and Pouting snaffling the baits. Three moves later we conceded defeat and ran back a few miles towards Whitby; arriving about an hour before slack water. Before I’d even had chance to finish making the brews, I saw Chris Chatham bring up a Codling which was a relief. Thankfully an odd Codling started to make an appearance, but it certainly wasn’t prolific.
Once the bites dried up, we had a short move as it appeared there weren’t many fish running. I put us on a short anchor as we were about to lose the tide and start swinging about. Interestingly, as we lost the tide we had a bit of a flurry of Pollock. We don’t seem to get too many of them when Uptiding, but we had half a dozen of them today. With Charlie Hewitt taking the biggest at 6lb 12oz.
Most of the lads switched over to regular leads (as opposed to breakaway leads) while the boat was swinging and we kept picking up odd fish which certainly hasn’t been the case recently.
Once the Ebb Tide came through, things tailed off again and despite another three moves, we ended with only an odd fish here and there. I would have loved to be able to deliver a few more fish for the boys, but it just wasn’t to be.
From a personal perspective, it was great to have a group of “anglers” (not freezer fillers) aboard, most of whom I hadn’t seen this winter with the rubbish weather we’ve had. A good catch up with some great banter. Thanks very much to you all View Boats Page

It's been great to see some nice bass and hounds coming out lately. These fish are some of the stockiest bass you will see as they are ready to spawn. The biggest fell to Barry wood and is a new pb for him at just over 10.8lbs. we normally try to release these big females regardless but it's closed season anyway. However it's nice to see a few bass showing ahead of the season starting on the 1st of April.
I have spaces this Sunday and over the Easter holiday so please get in touch.

We had the weather today to have a run out and try a few wrecks. I haven’t been offshore since last year, so didn’t really know what to expect; but I wasn’t hugely optimistic having spoken with Rich Ward from Shy-Torque, who had tried recently. Almost with a sense of impending doom I pointed us North and headed out to some wrecks in the 20 mile stream.
Just to be clear; I much prefer to fish the inshore wrecks which saves so much time steaming around, but unfortunately at this time of year we’ve found them to hold very little until the water starts to clear out. The offshore wrecks are usually a little more prolific, hence the reason for heading out that far.
I had a great crew aboard today, who love wrecking and knew what to do, so at least I knew if the fish were present and feeding they’d catch them. We had half a dozen drifts on the first wreck (which had a huge seal mooching around it) for a grand total of two Pouting, a Plaice and a bitten off Codling!! Oh S**t…..Time to move on.
We arrived at the next wreck with 90 minutes or so until slack water. I breathed a sigh of relief as three fish came up on the second drift (we missed the wreck first drift with the wind blowing us out to sea). We then proceeded to have a few fish each drift for the next 3 hours. Our best drift saw six Codling come up, nothing massive, but good to get bites. As usual, a few patterns emerged as the day progressed. When the tide was at full speed, smaller baits on Hokkai’s did the business, but as it eased, muppet traces baited with Squid or Mackerel seemed best.
A couple of things worthy of mention: Sea Urchin regular Allan Knaggs was top rod today, with nine fish to keep plus throwbacks. He fished really well, especially with the lines streaming a bit after dinner. Tony Firman caught plenty of fish (mainly Coalie’s) using the Slow Pitched Jig which was good to see.
Once the Ebb Tide came through it slowed the fishing right down, so we had half an hour on a wreck on the way back in for another half a dozen fish. It wasn’t a Red Letter Day, but equally, it wasn’t a disaster. Great to spend a day in the sunshine in excellent company. Thanks lads. View Boats Page
