Last week produced some brilliant Ray fishing with plenty of Undulates and Smalled Eyed Rays being caught and released. It also saw the best mackeral fishing seen for a couple of years. Tope are plentiful and great sport at the moment on light gear.

on Hard Labour (Wallasea Island, Essex)

Report on-board Hard Labour
Well the last couple of months have been fishing their socks off. Excellent numbers and sizes of smoothounds caught with multiple double figure fish caught each day. Biggest so far this season is a shade over 18lb, but there is always the chance of those elusive 20lb fish. In the last month or so we have done a couple of way offshore sortees with good results on the plaice. The Tope fishing hasnt really kicked off in ernest this season although we have had them to just over 33lb.
Now the Bass ban has been lifted, we have started to target the bass with great success. plenty of fish in the 2 to 8lb bracket, but by far the best specimen locally this season is a 14lb 2oz beauty caught by the skipper. Yes she swam off happily too, no point in killing breeding stock in our eyes.
We are now offering our evening trips as and when required at a reduced rate from full day charter.
We look forward to seeing our loyal customers on the boat soon and welcome any newcomers who have not fished with us before

Report on-board Duke IV
Summer has arrived and with it plenty of Mackerel to lures, Skate and Hounds to baits. The water has warmed so much that the doggies are feeling uncomfortable and have been replaced with varying sizes of Mackerel and Bass. Herring remains the most reliable bait with lugworm coming in second, Alan has been out with his push net and we have had live prawns some days always a favourite bait for the Smoothounds. Still some weekend and week days available on Duke lV so call me up and let's go fishing..

Report on-board Obsession
Well with a absolutely glorious weekend we headed down to the Skerries for a relaxing couple of days Flattie fishing and what a fantastic couple of days we had.
The Sun was out, almost no wind and the Sea was nice and clear so perfect conditions really.
Saturday seen the crew land around 30 Plaice upto about 2lb with a beautiful Undulate ray also putting in an appearance.
Sunday was a bit of a Busmans Holiday with just the 3 of us on board Colin, Kev W and Kev J enjoying a bit of sport ourselves and again between us we had around 30 Plaice with 20 keepers out of them, needless to say Colin reigned supreme and was even pulling them in 2 at a time, so a very enjoyable weekend was had.
More inshore trips planned so will keep you all updated

Report on-board Size Matters
[This report was written when Size Matters was operating from Plymouth]
Just returned from a three day Guernsey trip, the weather was as good as it gets warm sunny days with just a light breeze each day. The lads where planning on fishing the banks for Turbot and Brill, after a few phone calls we found out it was not worth fishing the banks due to very poor catches. So the lads decided to target the Bream, they caught plenty to 2lb along with Tope to 20lb, Huss to 10lb, Pollack and Gurnard. The other two days they targeted the wrecks catching lots of Conger to 50lb, Ling to 20lb, Pollack to 7lb and just a single Cod about 5lb. The lads all enjoyed the trip and have booked a 5 day Guernsey trip next July, it's a shame the banks where not fishing but that could all change in just a day.

Fishing Report by Phil White
on Chinook 3 (Bradwell Marina, Essex)
6 Jul 2017 by Phil White
Report on-board Chinook 3
The last few days have been calm and sunny and this has allowed the charter boats to get offshore and enjoy some cracking sport.
There has been a big influx of mackerel to all offshore areas; these super little fish are providing some great sport over the slack water when we would otherwise be waiting for the tide to turn.
There are a lot more smoothounds showing up, a lot of these fish are 7-8lb with a few better ones in certain areas, best baits are hermit and peeler but ragworm works well.
There have been some lovely bass caught this week with the best reported at 14lb, this fish was returned alive. We had fish up to 9lb on the Chinook with most boats seeing bass on a daily basis, best baits are squid for the bigger fish and worm baits for the smaller fish inshore.
The thornbacks are still in good numbers offshore with some big fish still around. We had our biggest thornie on Wednesday at 13lb; it was a big fish and would have been 16lb plus in the spring before it had spawned.
Inshore is quieter now that the thornbacks have moved offshore, there are still a few around in some areas. There are plenty of school bass in the Estuaries if you can get out of the weed which seems bad this year inshore.
Prospects are excellent, there is a lot of bait fish in the water and this will bring more fish into the Estuary.
