It was great to see the lads from Suffolk police the other day. The doggies kept them busy between the rays, whiting, pouting, a bass and a dab. There were certainly no shortage of bites and the lads fished hard as they always do. It’s nice to see plenty of life out there as things …
its ok i am still alive! February 2024
Apologies for the lack of reports lately. We have had the boats out of the water and have been moving house so I haven’t had time to deal with too many calls and messages.

November offshore bass
We took advantage of a brief weather window the other day and enjoyed a fantastic day on the bass. Traditionally we would have written off bass fishing by the end of November but who could ignore fishing like this? Lures were the order of the day and with some fish pushing double figures this really …

The inshore fishing is still steady with loads of fish on our sheltered marks meaning little reason to cancel. Of course there are still hoards of whiting and dogfish with a few dabs and pouting in between. There are a few rays, codling and surprisingly still bass to showing to put a bend in the …

The lads from the Braintree sea anglers had a busy trip the other day. We were on an inshore trip so of course there were lots of dogfish and whiting to be caught. The day started well with 4 rays in the first hour along with double shots of dogfish, whiting and some dabs. We …
