Report on-board Razorbill 3
last week myself and my son scott (on the Galloper)were lucky enough to be joined again by the England boat team for a squad weekend. The weather was far better than last year which was a bonus. We were able to get out of the estuary both days and fish a mark an hour or so out. Both boats had 9 anglers on board. They were fishing two sessions each day with a short break to change positions around the boat half way through. as there was a bit of organising each morning and a debrief each afternoon there wasn’t an awful lot of time left for fishing. Thankfully there was still enough time as there are plenty of fish about to keep the rods bending. On the first day the lads to fish 5 hours over all and the second day just 4 hours over all. This didn’t stop us getting some good numbers of fish in a short space of time. The lads had loads of treble shots of whiting and dogfish as well as good numbers of roker (thorn-back rays) they even had several double shots of these. By the end of the first day the lads had managed 60 roker between the 9 rods on my boat alone. Not to mention all of the whiting, dogfish, dabs and even a stray eel. The second day didn’t disappoint either with good numbers of roker again. this time 40 in 4 hours fishing which the lads were pleased with again. the roker weren’t a huge stamp but big enough to count on the size limit the lads had set. They all seemed pleased with smiles all around as they left and yet again were a pleasure to take out.
The fishing in general has been good locally and the settled weather helps. The stamp of roker has started to get a bit better over the past week or so and there is the odd codling showing too. Ive got a bit of availability left this year for individuals and boat bookings and im also taking bookings for next year. Please call for more information on 07850234077

Report on-board Kelley's Hero Charters
The weather has definitely been a little bit kinder to us this month, we haven’t managed all of our trips but the ones we have, we have had to head up The Solent. As before this paid off on most of our trips.
Not only have we been busy with day trips, but the nights trips are also getting popular.
We have managed a few of these now, not all productive but still nice to get out there and try.
We produced a lot of whiting, pout and a few dogfish, with the smallest dogfish we have ever seen i think.
We had a run of nice weather last week, and we managed to find a few nice fish, with the biggest one around the 12lb mark. The whiting have been in in numbers, and we have also seen a bass or two and a few nice rays as well.
We are running a competition for this Cod season which runs until January 31st, that is, the biggest cod caught aboard Kelley’s Hero wins one free individuals spot on the boat and £100 voucher for Allens Marine.
If you would like to take part in the competition, please feel free to contact us and book on to one of our individuals days. They are filling up fast so be sure to get in and have a chance at our winter giveaway.

Report on-board Rapid Fisher
At last the temperature is begining to drop and get a bit colder, the cod have started to show in small numbers on the grounds around the Isle of white, we will see if we can tempt any this guy Fawkes weekend, Spaces available for this Saturday 5th,
Still mackerel around and some big ones too so would be good for the table or to stock up the bait freezer,
Looking forward to seeing some nice plump whiting this season and see if we can get a new boat record of even better a British record, anyway I'm off to fill up the boat ready to hunt down those cod in the morning, hopefully a nice big Bass too.

Fishing Report by TERRY BATT
on Vanishing Point-2 (Bradwell Marina, Essex)
2 Nov 2016 by TERRY BATT
Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
Had a nice day out yesterday with some good mates... John Rawle, Bob Cox, Nigel Farage and
Ray Finch UKIP MEP..
John took the helm and steamed us Eastward roughly 14 miles, and put us right over the fish, we had Thornbacks coming to the boat quite rapidly, and both John and Nigel got a double hook up and landed fish at the same time.. ( Nigel's was bigger) and Ray Finch hit back with a lovey Thornback Ray, not to be out done, (as John has been tacking the Pea out of me lately) I caught the biggest fish of the day..! a nice double figure Ray.. but with Nicola cooking up a storm on the grill, bacon, sausages, burgers, and a bit of clay shooting over the slack water.
Sadly no Cod yesterday, Bob Cox a true hardened angler, toughed it out with Whiting live baits, and was not deterred... sadly, although one of his live baits got hammered and disappeared, he didn't manage to nab a fish on the live baits... but you have to admire his resolve..
The flood was very good for fish, loads of Whiting some good ones amongst them..!! and a good 20 odd Thornbacks to 10 lbs, doggies ect.
The ebb was a bit of a struggle as the wind went more to the East, then the rain started and I think we were losing the will to live...lol
But as Nigel had to be back in London for various appointment's so we decided to up anchor and head back to Bradwell for 16.30.....
But Nigel has vowed to return for Codxit to get those Cod out of the water..he he he ..!!!
Ok.... tight lines every one

Fishing Report by Rich Cope
on Mistress (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
1 Nov 2016 by Rich Cope
Report on-board Mistress
Its been a rough month for us up here at Whitby with us losing three weeks of the month to bad weather, its also given me chance to get my annual holiday away and wind down a bit!
Since getting back this last week the fishing has remained up and down as it has all year, we've started giving the Uptiding a serious shot and we've been rewarded with some lovely fresh run fish, numbers are still a bit down on last year, but the water is still quite warm and and we still need a good northerly to colour it up, which we currently have building!
On this last set if big tides, we've fished at anchor through the tide and fished selected wrecks during slack breaking up the day for the our anglers.
This last week has seen several cod into double figures the biggest topping out at 14lb yesterday. Uptiding has seen to cod to just under double figures, so with this bit of sea things are looking up for the forthcoming Uptiding Festival. (5th-20th November).
If you're into your shore fishing, you'll love uptiding, Our weekends are now fully booked but we still have plenty of available midweek places.
So, if you fancy a day in the festival or even just some winter fishing, whether you're a novice or experienced you get a warm welcome with me on the Mistress.
Give me a call or text on 07977 436903 or email me at seafishingwhitby@hotmail.co.uk

Report on-board High Flyer 2
This report covers Sunday 30th October 2016 , on big tides flat calm sunny weather unbelievable for this time of year was fishing in a T shirt all day. water temp at 11 degrees according to sounder . Well we had a very busy day basically fish kind of non stop no matter where we went as tried out on the 3 miler, the mud bank, rocks and lastly right inshore all plagued with whiting of all sizes. Few flatties and spotty dogs mixed in but no skate or codling for us still need some cold weather to start in my belief for the codling to show properly hopefully not too long now. Big thanks to all the lads few pics here of the keepers, appreciate the lads from Boston driving over bit of a distance much appreciated to Maurice for organising. Locals Arek and Matt and the two Andys good to see you all especially the first timers on High Flyer and regular Dave Jones was a busy day great weather pleasure to be out. Dont forget to think about winter bookings not long now till xmas weekend places going fast website up to date daily. Until then tight lines everyone.
Cheers Jon (High Flyer) View Boats Page
