Report on-board Galloper
We've been very busy since our return from Devon and Cornwall. The offshore bass fishing hasn't disappointed and was definitely worth coming back for. We had a wild trip out there the other day and there were fish of all sizes coming out. We only fished the first mark until 12.30 and the lads had an average of 10 bass each and had achieved their bag limit of 2 keepers each within the first couple of hours.
Steve was on fire and had the biggest fish which went 8.3lb.
Inshore there's loads of life. Mostly dogfish and whiting to keep us busy but if you fish through them we've had a few bass here too along with thornback rays and even a conger eel.
I have availability for individuals and boat bookings over the coming weeks.

Report on-board Skylark
It's been a while since our last trip with the run of poor weather and sea conditions
But we managed to still find some really good fish on the inshore grounds still.
Best fish today was a 9lb 2oz Pollock with the same angler also catching a nice 8lb Pollock also
As well as Pollock the customers had a good amount of Cod, pouting, lesser spotted dogfish and Ballen wrasse to keep them busy all day.
The wildlife the customers had pretty much all day leaving the harbour and passing a pod of 40+ bottle nose dolphins heading south. Then seals, porpoise and the dolphins passed us several times while fishing and on the way back we were greatest with them again in the South Bay. View Boats Page

Report on-board Skerry Belle
With Autumn fast approaching we will now be turning our attention to the larger bass that move through the Goodwins on their migration south. These fish can be caught either on baits or lures, with fish nudging the 10lb bracket. Codling are starting to show. Curtis had a nice one yesterday (see photo) along with large channel whiting, thornback rays and spurdogs. Autumn is probably one of our best fishing seasons and remember we are a full time charter boat and you can book on 24/7. Bookings 07805250427

That's us finished at Plymouth now. It's been great fun down here the last few weeks. The weather has been kind to us, the fish have been amazing and the people have made it. Thanks to those who joined us this year for your support. You will get first refusal on next year's dates. Thanks to those who helped me set the boat up, and cart everything around. Stephen Charles particularly as well as Steve canham, Martin and dad.
Also thanks to the locals who made us feel very welcome you were all very approachable and friendly.
I've got dropped the hammers on The Galloper and we're currently heading back to Essex to make the most of the autumn bass fishing.
Stacey and the boys have gone ahead of me so I can't wait to see them soon.
I also owe Stacey a big thanks for letting us spend a fortune, drag her and the boys across the country to satisfy my obsession with fish.
Now for the long steam home. Smoke me a kipper I'll be back for breakfast! View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Andy Savage
on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
Managed to squeeze one out today……. A fishing trip in-between the poor weather that is!! ��
Yesterday we had 10ft of swell and rough seas at Whitby. The weather forecast gave it to drop away a bit through the night, leaving around 4ft this morning with light winds for most of the day. Hopefully they would be right, as it wouldn’t take much breeze to spoil things. Giving due consideration, I decided to give it a try.
With the lads aboard, firstly we had an unproductive 20 minute Mackerel hunt (which I thought might well be the case). It was a 4.8m tide and everyone was keen to try a few wrecks, so we got stuck in. The inshore waters were looking a bit green and mucky, so we headed offshore to try some further out. Using the Ebb tide, we ran for an hour or so to our first wreck. It looked like there was plenty of feed around it as we set the boat up.
First drift saw us put up five nice clean Codling with bright white bellies which was encouraging. They fell to squid hookbaits on a mix of muppet traces and Daylights. The next half an hour saw fish every drift, then unexplainably sport just dried up. We moved on to the next wreck, arriving just as we were running into slack water, giving us a nice slow drift. This time I counted thirteen fish on the first drift! Clearly a few at home. A productive half an hour around slack saw everyone getting amongst the fish. Nothing massive, but plenty of lovely clean Codling around 3-4lb with Alan Kwok taking the biggest at 6lb 8oz.
Once the flood tide started to push through, the Codling stopped feeding and we got plagued by Haddock. They were coming up two at a time on the Daylights. I thought it best that we moved on as they were only just around “size” and I wanted to try and find something bigger. We fished another two wrecks, but they weren’t anywhere near as productive. The first drift was the best on each, then it just progressively tailed off.
To finish the day we had a couple of drifts on rough ground, which gave us a few to finish with. Codling dominated the boxes today, with only a handful of strap Ling to 7lb. Everyone got some fish for the table today which was great. Thanks lads. View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Steve Green
on Brigand (Brighton, East Sussex)

Report on-board Brigand
Wow! That's Bluefin Tuna number 10 hooked- up and number 7 to the boat for us out of East Sussex in our first season and the thrill and excitement of catching these magnificent fish does not diminish over time or number of fish caught.
We are seeing more and more bird, bait, Dolphin and Tuna activity week after week as we build toward what we expect to be the peak in mid November. We had everything today, more birds than we've seen this year Offhsore, more Dolphins and thankfully more Tuna!
Nick was on the rod to land this cracker estimated at 180lb which made a right mess of the spreader bar!
Fantatsic crew of Julian, Nick, Jim and Dave aboard to witness this incredible spectacle out of Brighton with over 200 Tuna sighted over numerous busts and it was late in the day before we got this one, there could quite easily have been several more.
My Thanks to Karl Pope, not easy leadering fish with the configuration of our boat and he is growing into the role trip after trip and this one safely brought alongside with no drama and revived to strongly swim away after a few minutes.
We go again tomorrow in what look to be challenging conditions with Mike and his crew and not sure who is going to be more excited about the prospect of hooking into more of these magnificent fish, it's such a privilage to be able to catch these from our home port.
Look closely at the video of the hook up and you will see the strike at speed from the Tuna.
Best wishes

Report on-board High Flyer 2
Bringing us up to date reasonably pleased with our summer season nice run of tope towards end of summer, bit thin on the ground for bass for us this year to be honest. At moment were all hoping for a bit of cold weather to bring any cod in already started with the whiting coming in still getting doggies and odd thornback. Got few new methods to try this year and few new baits on calmer winter days want to experiment if we can in deeper water willing to try anything. Few new amendments to the boat have added front splash guard to minimize spray seems to be working. New comfortable back seats seem to be popular! Finally the scotty rod holder parts have arrived from USA so all tip top condition. Our new rods arrive shortly so be pleased to have them. All we need now is fish and yourselves! Please get your name down for those weekend dates dont leave it till last minute we will be full especially boat bookings. Operating the deposit system now due to constant letdowns do not be offended just unfortunate way people seem to be nowdays cant operate a business on peoples word like the old days such a pity. So looking forward to winter comes see us will do our best for you.
