Report on-board Kingfisher
Hi just been let down on full charter booking, by guy called Jamie. Booked full boat then, told me some of his party can't make it. So could I do him a deal. Then rings back to say the rest can't make it because they got footie training. This guy is a total waste. His number is07523 658962, just in case he tries to waste another skippers time.

Report on-board White Maiden II
Sorry for the late report on my website. One just can't get enough PR staff on the pay role.... I wish!
Due to some time tiday I have also copied the report with some recent catch photos to CBUK.
This weeks report from 'sea-fishing.net';The weather, crews and fishing have been really good over the last week with five trips, starting with an Individuals trip, last Wednesday. The lads found some nice Black Bream to 3lb 5oz, before a drift for Turbot where Pete tricked our target fish. We then had a go for a Plaice but lost the tide. On Friday the lads found a few Plaice on the drift (needs clear water, which we had) plus a bonus 13lb Undulate Ray on Plaice gear, at anchor, for Guy. In the second Friday short session trip, the crew from Devizes caught our first Mackerel of the year and some useful inshore Pollock. On Saturday the Sebastien and Simon crew patiently fished very well for Mackerel and Herrings on a stunning day at the Needles before attempting to clear a big wreck of large Pout. They had no chance of doing that. On Sunday we found a few more Mackerel and Herring plus some nice Bream. Here's some pictures of our excursions: View Boats Page

John Ingleton on his first trip aboard Flamer IV landed a Plaice weighing 2Ib 14oz on the last drift of the day which proved to be the biggest.John is pictured with his 2Ib 14oz Plaice.

Fishing Report by Scott Belbin
on Galloper (Brightlingsea, Essex)
Apr 2017 by Scott Belbin
Report on-board Galloper
Yet again its been too long since my last report on here. As ever we’ve been busy aboard the ‘Galloper’ with lots of people wanting to get out and enjoy the great weather we’ve been experiencing this spring. Nowadays spring time primarily means thorn-back rays (also known as roker) in the thames estuary. As is well publicised we are fortunate enough to have a well managed local population at the moment. Although we now catch them through out the year the thorn-backs are in their best numbers now with lots of big females coming inshore to breed and feed along with their smaller male counterparts. Although the weather doesn’t cost us many trips throughout the year we particularly benefit at this time of year when the thorn-backs can often be found in good numbers right into the sheltered waters of the black water estuary. We have been seeing great numbers of fish come aboard with 30-40 rays commonplace nowadays. There have been some good fish amongst them too with lots of heavily laden females being caught and of course always returned aboard the ‘Galloper’. Mixed in with the thorn-backs there are numbers of dogfish and whiting along with the odd pouting. The first few bass and smooth-hounds have shown in the last few weeks which is a sure sign that summers rapidly approaching.
To mix things up for my self as well as my anglers I still put the odd offshore trip in this time of year to target the brief run of spurdogs we have off here. I was lucky enough to happen upon a couple of marks for these getting on for 10 years ago now and have seen some decent fish come aboard over the years. On a recent trip off there with a group of regulars we found a few spurs, no monsters but some nice fish none the less with the biggest just shy of 12lbs. there was room for me to fish that trip which I always jump at the chance of being an obsessive angler my self. after getting the lads started in the morning with the first spurdog, I was lucky enough to realise a long awaited ambition of catching a blonde ray on my home grounds. She was no giant at just over 12lbs but I was very pleased to catch her . my luck really was in that day. We managed around 20 thorn-backs, a nice bass of 5-6lbs and a couple of pouting and whiting to go along with the constant stream of dogfish for the day.
Over the coming weeks we should continue to see good numbers of thorn-back rays as they start to creep further afield. We will see increasing numbers of smooth-hounds and bass mixed in with them until we make our first trips to target the smooth-hounds.

Fishing Report by Carl Davies

Report on-board Gwen-Paul-M
Plenty of early season pollack, to 7lb, last Saturday and Sunday. A few coalies and a couple of mackerel too! Water temperatures are 2-3 degrees higher than average for this time of year, so it seems the season is starting early. There's room on a few days over the next couple of weeks if anyone fancies a trip. Cheers, Carl.

Report on-board Seren y Mor
First trip back of a new season and pleasing to see the hounds are there already. Best bait crab as usual this early in season but some also falling to squid. Not big fish but all in the 7-10lb range. As long as the weather stays fair these will increase in size and numbers throughout the month
