    Report on-board Girl Mandy

    Good morning to all our loyal and happy anglers I do apologise for this report but it needs to be said. ( Tosser ) of the week goes to a ( Mr Michael Jacks phone number 07851879733 ) thank you very much for letting the rest of the group that were fishing with me on Sunday 4/10/2015 down even to the point of speaking with you on Saturday evening and you were all up for it, you did not bother to show on the morning and also ignored texts and when calling you switched your phone off all you had to do was let us know either by phone text email or whats app it wont offend but by saying nothing does. The rest of the party voiced the fact that you are a pain in the backside. But the most annoying thing was I had to turn down two other anglers that were desperate to go so again thank you just to remind other skippers the name is ( MICHAEL JACKS contact number 07851879733 ) watch out for this comedian On a positive note fishing has been great so come out with us for a days fishing there are still the odd weekend dates left this year you can find all the news and pics on our web site girl mandy fishing charters until our next report good fishing and tight lines

  • 04/10/2015 Fishing Report by TERRY BATT on Vanishing Point-2 (Bradwell Marina, Essex)

    4 Oct 2015 by TERRY BATT

    Report on-board Vanishing Point-2

    Many congratulations to Ron with a lovely 17 lbs Cod, a real character who catches real fish..!! well we stayed inside yesterday, and had a cracking day, first we dropped about 1 mile from the shore line, but realised even with 3 hours of ebb tide left, it just was not running hard enough to catch fish..so we pulled the anchor and move 1,75 miles South, into deeper water of the Wallet and we found the run we needed to fish properly...! it wasn't long before the first decent Roker came up and that started the trend, Nicola warned the guys not to keep to many unless they were able to deal with them, which none of them could, so I think they kept around 4 or 5 which Nic kindly gutted and skinned for them. We found as Ron accurately reported, the Codling were tightly bunched, and you were either on them or you weren't..!! and we found most bites were very shy, so Nicola got out her Rod baited with a whole Squid, and I said to the guys... I know who I am putting my money on...!!!! and within 7 or 8 minutes she popped a lovely Codling on the deck, and said to the boys.... "now that's the way to do it" and kindly gave the fish to one guy who was struggling a bit, so that made his day... ( bet he told his wife he caught it) but we did well enough, but around 11.20 am when the tide was on the turn, we did go back inside a mile off the shore line for the flood ,(we passed "Hard Labour" just getting ready for the flood so hopefully they did well, always nice to see the lads from the Crouch) ...! and yeah nice bit of run on the tide, and more Rokers and more decent Codling to 9.5 lbs... well after such a blinding weekend of weather, after all those Easterly winds of last week, looks as though we have some doggy weather to look forward to this week, but the saving grace is there are some good Codling in the river Blackwater now, fair bit of weed to unfortunately but hey... that goes with the territory ..we are out as from Wednesday onwards so will report in as the week unfolds.

    Report on-board High Flyer 2

    This report covers two dates of Fri 2nd /Sat 3rd October both light winds for once and reasonably calm seas with a few hours sunshine would you believe! At the moment small whiting are in such numbers few keepers among them unfortunately stripping the baits nearing slack water the odd skate left isn't getting a look in! On friday few codling came aboard nice to see still bit early so not in great numbers. None were caught saturday but made up for it with bass from inshore bank some returned with our new 42cm rule good for conservation.The whiting just kept coming all day all places we tried couldnt shake them, all states of the tide but least kept everyone busy. Picture today is of young Bradley who braved a touch of sea sickness ended up skipper and put us on our final mark of the day glad he was there or we wouldnt have caught so many fish! Also to mention the spotty dogs of all sizes were still about all returned non kept, more sport for next year plus about half dozen flatties from the mud ground finished the day off nicely. In all not a bad few days plenty of fish about great weather for once . Many thanks to all especially those who have travelled to be with us, Peterborough, inner London, Bedford and all the way from Gorleston! looking forward to leaves falling , ice on the car and frosty windows will be coddy time! See you all soon.

  • 04/10/2015 Fishing Report by Bob Marshall on Duke IV (Ramsgate, Kent)

    4 Oct 2015 by Bob Marshall

    Report on-board Duke IV

    The fishing just gets better out from Ramsgate. On today's trip Craigs group landed Skate to 10lbs, Bass, hounds, and cod along with some tasty Whiting. Lugworm is the bait for Cod, in large lumps so don't skimp on the bait or they just pass it bye. Herring have arrived replacing Mackerel as the bait for Skate.  We were spoiled by the gorgeous weather today which helped the fishing. The Cod have arrived early this year and it looks like we are going to have a good winters fishing. The Skate are spread across the area, the strict quotas giving them protection are working and we are doing our bit by returning most of them we catch. Whiting numbers are up replacing the doggies as the most caught fish, the fillets l had this evening were superb, as good an eating fish as you will find so well worth keeping the bigger ones. Spaces still available for groups and individuals so dig out the winter jacket and come fishing.  This winter looks like it could be the best fishing for many years with plenty of quality fish out there!

  • 02/10/2015 Fishing Report by Andrew Marshall on Jean K (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    2 Oct 2015 by Andrew Marshall

    Report on-board Jean K

    Steaming out for some 2.5 hours the anticipation grew. At last the first wreck to try but alas only producing a couple of fish after 3 attempts. Kevin very decisively, and politely gave the command to move quickly to the next wreck only 1.5 miles away. Right down ya go lads came the skippers shout within minutes every rod on the boat bent treble,it was a start I haven't seen in years. It was indeed all hands on deck throughout this absolutely super day landing string after string of cod and more cod. Kev did his usual by fine tuning the drifts to give us even more time each run, whilst running around the boat with his net very skilfully landing up to 5 fish at a time, but looked like a butterfly enthusiast dashing around. What an absolutely cracking day for all of us catching what must have been some 300 fish between us. Thanks Kevin and see you again soon.
    Andy and pete
