The bass continue to hit the deck of the Galloper. They must be easy to catch coz even this numpty in the yellow wellies can manage to get them in between making tea and talking rubbish. On our general trips there’s been loads of hounds around and some decent tish too. There’s still a bit…

bass fishing
We’ve been making the most of the weather this week with quality bass hitting the deck every day. It has been dreamy out here all week with perfect weather and cracking fishing to be had. We’ve had a lovely variety of fish and fishing methods over a huge area. The bass have featured heavily though…
general fishing
We had a lovely trip of mixed fishing the other day. The smooth-hounds kept us busy throughout the day with a few to low doubles. There were some whiting and dogfish too, one or two small tope and a run of sizeable bass to end the day. We finished the day with 50+ hounds and…

spurdogs 2025

big hounds
Tony and the lads joined me the other day for a blustery smooth-hound trip. Armed with loads of crabs for bait and a great attitude as always we headed out to one of our many sheltered marks. Fishing was good from the first cast with screaming reels and bending rods as well as the usual…
