Report on-board Flamer IV
Two sessions at anchor along the Jurassic Coast East of Weymouth produced some good fishing with five different species of Rays caught along with Tope,Smooth Hounnds,Conger etc. Pennel rigs of Sakuma Manta hookes baited with squid and mackerel cocktail baits proved to be most successful although the Smooth Hounds were partial to the Hermit Crab bait offered. All the fish were returned alive. Pictured is Denise Young with a 15Ib 4oz Blonde Ray.

Fishing Report by Bob Marshall
on Duke IV (Ramsgate, Kent)
4 Jun 2016 by Bob Marshall
Report on-board Duke IV
The past months fishing has been generally good with Skate being the most reliable species, up to 20 of these lovely fish in a day. Along with the Skate, Smoothound numbers are increasing and as the week's pass they will increase in size. Mackerel fishing is good when the water clears along with school Bass around the banks. Joule of the Belgium fiching club landed a fine fish of 6lb 8oz. Yesterday's trip was tough due to the persistent cold North wind we have been suffering but we ended the day with 6 Skate to 10lb 8oz along with Smoothounds, pout and the ever present doggies. Prospect's look good with improving weather and clear water forecast. Still some weekend dates available so come along and make the most of the quality fishing we are enjoying off Ramsgate now. Pic shows yesterday's Skate with the winter jackets needed in the cold wind.

Report on-board Gemini II
Went out with Dean again today, the 3rd June 2016. Very overcast and a bit choppy and not looking too promising. As usual Dean pulled it out of the bag and managed to get us on the fish, moving marks 7 or 8 times to search them out. We had turbot, bass, whiting, Pollock, pouting, plaice, dab, gurnard, mackerel, dogfish and a bunch of Sandeels. We even had a visit from UK Border force to make sure we weren't trying to better the country illegally. Nothing is too much trouble for this skipper, his boat is immaculate and he keeps the tea and coffee coming all day. Highly recommended

Fishing Report by Carl Farrar
on Alliance (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
May 2016 by Carl Farrar
Report on-board Alliance
Wednesday was another GREAT day fishing aboard Alliance, Whitby's latest addition to the Charter fleet . From stepping aboard at the start of the day the Banter was free flowing just as much as the free tea and coffee supplied by Skipper Shaun Elwick. The Ex-lifeboatman and Whitby local has over 35 years experience fishing out of Whitby and that showed from the way he put us onto the fish from the first drop. When the tide started running again we moved onto some ground on the 5 mile mark and true to his word Shaun found the fish again. with baited hookki's doing the damage Even with the difficult fishing conditions of late due to the Algae bloom being in full swing we still managed several species of fish including Cod to 8 lb, Ling to 6lb, Pollack, Pouting and Whiting, No Mackerel showing as yet though.
Shaun supplied 2 of the lads with the boats NEW top quality hire tackle Sonic rods and Shimano TLD reels these two first time anglers (Sorry lads I can't remember your names) had a great time and booked to come back next month as they have now caught the fishing bug. View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Scott Belbin
on Galloper (Brightlingsea, Essex)

Report on-board Galloper
its been a while since my last report on here so i thought i'd update you all. as ive no doubt you've gathered from the other reports on here we have had a great run of thorn-back rays again this spring. these fish can provide great sport and a decent feed so they are always a welcome. over the last few weeks we have seen the arrival of the summer species with a few bass and smooth-hounds mixed in too which makes things a little more interesting. we had our first try for some decent hounds the other week and weren't disappointing. it was a steady mornings fishing with some nice fish in the 8-10lbs range showing. there were a few smaller than this and one or two bigger at 12lbs for stephen and 15.3lbs for martin. we moved closer to home for some thorn-back rays for the afternoon and had a mixture of bass and hounds too. we finished the day up with 30 odd hounds as well as several bass and a few roker so were all happy. when this weather abates (which it will) then we will be targeting the hounds again and at some point targeting tope too. even if it doesn't though there's some good fishing to be had in the more sheltered waters for the rays.
this weekend i hope to target the smooth-hounds at some point along with the rays and maybe find a bass or two. i happen to have spaces saturday and possible sunday too if your interested please call me.
i update my website and facebook pages regularly so for more information, available dates and reports please visit www.essexseafishing.co.uk or call 07956411528 View Boats Page

Report on-board Skylark
Photo's from today's 6 hour morning trip
Sea Conditions were not ideal with a good amount of lift in places, so we took shelter from the northerly winds and targeted Thornback rays as the tide eased we braved the swells to have a last hour having a go for Cod.
Overall the lads had a great day which turned out to be quite a species hunt as they managed to catch 25 thornback rays, a Spotted Ray, 2 Brill, a Lessor Spotted Dogfish, several dabs and a good few codling.
heaviest Fish was a 6lb 8oz Thornback Ray
All but 5 of the largest rays were returned to fight another day as well as the brill, and Dogfish as the anglers wanted to try a skate wing. View Boats Page
