Fishing Report by Scott Belbin
on Galloper (Brightlingsea, Essex)
Jan 2017 by Scott Belbin
Report on-board Galloper
Since my last report we have had some lovely days afloat. On all the trips we have done over the past month we have been lucky enough to be out on unseasonably flat calm days. However for one reason or another we have ended up fishing almost entirely within the confines of the blackwater estuary. Depending on the tide on any given day we have been splitting most days between targeting dabs or targeting thorn-back rays. Although they may not be the most exiting fish the dabs have done us proud and helped fill the void left by this seasons lack of cod in our area. there was a fair mix of sizes from postage stamps to some stonking door mats the biggest of which went 335mm long (sorry I didn’t bother weighing it). The thorn-backs have also varied in size but there were a few better ones mixed in with the biggest going 10.2lbs and our best day 12 along with lots of whiting and dabs. Earlier in December we had a fair surprise as Dave Harris (who is a regular aboard the ‘Galloper’) pulled a haddock over the side. I think he miss-took it for a slinky codling at first and I must admit I had to do a double take to make sure it wasn’t some kind of disfigured whiting. I have fished here all of my life having grown up on charter boats and have never seen one caught here before. I had heard of them coming out in the 70’s and early 80’s aboard my dads charter boats but this was a first aboard one of my boats and made a change from whiting!
Over the last few days things have been sounding a little more promising for those who have ventured beyond the estuary with a few more thorn-backs getting about so hopefully by the time I’m out again and the dabs move out we should have something sizable to target. The last few years have produced some of the biggest thorn-backs through out January and February locally so fingers crossed we can get amongst them. As for the mythical creature known as the thames estuary cod I’m not going to hold my breathe but I will say that there is a lot more chance of catching one if you wet a line than there is by sitting on the sofa.

Fishing Report by Colin Penny
on Flamer IV (Weymouth, Dorset)
7 Jan 2017 by Colin Penny
Report on-board Flamer IV
My first wreck trip of 2017 produced a variety of size Pollack along with a Bass and a real bonus a Coalfish. Certainly when the tide was at it's peak the best lures were Bubble Gum Pink Red Gills fished on long traces.
Coalfish are a rare fish in Weymouth waters, Nigel Powis landed his first ever which weighed 8Ib 3oz and is a new Flamer IV record. (Pictured)
NOTE: LOOK - *** BOOK NOW FOR 2017 *** I have put up an Itinerary of trips for 2017 on all my web sites, take a LOOK, the itinerary is not set in stone so I may be able to change it to suit your needs subject to the tides. View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Roy Smith
on SWN Y MOR (Amlwch, Isle of Anglesey)
9 Jan 2017 by Roy Smith
Report on-board SWN Y MOR
Hi out yesterday with a good bunch of lads from Preston had to contend to fish within 6 miles of the shore due to imminent gale warnings. The whole area blanketed with whiting with a lot of keepers well within size limits so many about not giving other fish a chance. The lads fishing for round fish hoping for cod with baited lures. Undoubtably further out would have been better with spurs feeding off them and more chance of cod but quite a reasonable day out for the lads at very reasonable price. Try to get out with me on the smaller tides this time of year and you will get good fishing offshore with most species cheers Roy

Report on-board Mistress
Happy New Year Everyone!
Whilst most of the other boats are doing yearly round-ups, we're still putting in the days and nights at sea, keeping our anglers among the Cod!
I'm sure as business starts slowing as it generally does around this time of year, I'll have a hunt through my many files for some of the better pictures and fish from last year.
We're experiencing a big northerly again at the minute, but looking at the charts there will be a window for this Saturday (7th Jan) we currently have 5 places available.
The trip is 9 hours. 0730-1630, and is £45 per person, thats only £5 per hour! if you see cheaper deals on the internet, they are cheap for a reason, you only get what you pay for! I put in 110% every trip.
These photos are from our last few trips, where it has generally been very good with our best day seeing 60 cod boated with our best angler that day taking 13 cod himself, most other days the better anglers with good quality bait have been getting double figure bags too.
So if youre interested in a trip here at Whitby on Mistress give me a call on 07977 436903. pr drop me a message on seafishingwhitby@hotmail.co.uk,

Away for a short break back at next week and after all this big northerly seas the Uptiding on the cod should be on fire .
Now it's that time of year everybody is getting booked up for the year in 2016 on Sea-Otter 2 we had stacks of cod Ling and pollock and once again Sea-Otter 2 smashed the £5000 grand summer festival winning the £5000 1st prize and getting both the biggest cod and Ling and the most daily prizes in the competition it's Sea-Otter 2 4th win in the last 7 years not a bad average so if you want that chance of getting amoung the big ones look no further we have 3 festivals through the summer don't miss out get booked early .
Consistency is the name of game on Sea-Otter 2 we strive to give you the results my calendar will be updated for 2017 when I return home off my short winter break .
