Fishing Report by Phil White
on Chinook 3 (Bradwell Marina, Essex)
10 Oct 2016 by Phil White
Report on-board Chinook 3
The weather has really changed this last week and this has brought the sea temperature down considerably.
Inshore
There are a lot more thornbacks showing up over the last few days in all areas inshore, these smaller rays will be with us through until at least January depending on water temperature, best baits are squid and herring.
The whiting have really pushed in to all areas and there are increasing numbers of better fish showing up, these tasty fish will provide good sport right through the Autumn and Winter, best baits are lug and mackerel.
The piers and Estuaries are producing whiting, thornbacks and schoolies with the occasional oddities like wrasse and gurnards from the piers. Best baits are rag, lug and squid.
Offshore
When the weather has allowed, the fishing has been excellent with a real good mix of fish on the offshore banks throughout September. There have been some good smoothounds up to 10 lb, thornbacks, bass, dabs, small tope, whiting and a few other species.
Prospects are excellent, hopefully we should start to see some cod as we get nearer November, more thornbacks and whiting.

Fishing Report by Nigel Lihou
on Optimist (Brixham, Devon)
8 Oct 2016 by Nigel Lihou
Report on-board Optimist
First of all an apology as I haven't let you know what Optimist has been up to for the last few months but things have been a bit hectic.
Fish has been steady on the Skerries with a good species count on most trips, the Plaice are still around and getting plumper with the usual appearance of a Ray or two aboard on most trips mainly Blondes although we have had spotted, small eyed and thornback aboard (not all at once). The Gurnards appear with good regularity and mackerel seem more prolific on the banks than where they normally are around the headlands we have only seen one Garfish so far this year and quite a small one at that. Turbot and Brill have both been boated over the last couple of months with the biggest about 5lb and on the last trip out we managed a first for Optimist with a small starry smooth hound also on the same trip it was great to bring a Bass aboard a rare occurrence this year although we nearly lost it as it spat the hook in the net.
We continue to monitor the wreck situation which has been dire all year with very few decent fish, mainly pouting and small Pollack, but the sounder has been showing large balls of bait fish very close to the wrecks not good if you are trying to attract a fish with a plastic lure.
We will continue to be afloat for the majority of the winter and hope that the weather is a little kinder than last winter
Don't for get to give us a call if you fancy some good fishing View Boats Page

Report on-board Blue Shark
October 7th 2016
Had a great trip with Padrig and his crew. He is eager to help every level of angler and is very knowledgable on sea faring ways. We caught mackerel for bait and then went on to catch lots of Pollock with the occasional bonus of a few sea bass. Always moving to put the fisherman on the fish. Highly recommended. Can not wait for our next trip. View Boats Page

Report on-board Strongbow
Due to the high water temperatures fish migrations have been halted affecting Plaice and Bass.
First few inshore Cod showing and the Flounders have moved into the harbour although unusually large numbers of small Bass are causing problems robing the bait at the moment . View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Dave Elliott
on Ocean Warrior 3 (Brighton, East Sussex)
Oct 2016 by Dave Elliott
Report on-board Ocean Warrior 3
After being out of the water for a few weeks with one of the engines being rebuilt.
We managed to get a couple of good trips out recently. There were some good sized Congers along with Turbot, Brill still fishing well. There have also been some nice Blonde Rays showing now as well.
This picture of 'Scoop' with a cracking Lobster of over 7lb. It was caught it while Conger fishing and caught it on a Mackerel flapper.
We are now starting the inshore Cod fishing and there have been some nice sized ones showing. It just needs to get a bit colder to bring the numbers up. View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Steve Green
on Brigand (Brighton, East Sussex)
3 Oct 2016 by Steve Green
Report on-board Brigand
Another cracking day out on Brigand today with a top bunch of guys.
Thought we would make the most of some reasonable weather today and hit the Turbot & Brill marks for what is possibly (but I hope not) the last time we may be targeting these his year.
"Big Green Net" called into action again for Ricky's double figure Blonde - not quite the 20+'s we had last week but with the tide set that was to be expected. However, todays task was really about trying to make sure everyone went home with a Turbot or Brill ........... 13hrs + 60 miles + focused anglers = job done!
Targeting Bass & Bream through October and getting serious about Big Cod so if any of that interests you or you would like to know a little more about what we have planned please give me a call.
Best wishes
