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…
please attend this if you can, it is important that our voice is heard, our relevance is taken seriously and our fishery preserved. the more of you that take part the greater our voice. We’re running an online event on Monday 20 November to give you the opportunity to learn about the next five FMPs:…
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…
It has been great to see one or two small codling mixed in with our inshore trips lately. Only small so far but nice to see and positive signs for the coming weeks. Ian was pleased to get the first one of the autumn. autumn is definitely running a little late this year so hopefully…
The bass fishing continues to be good even in some pretty rough conditions. It was great to see Phil join the other lunatics despite some gnarly conditions. He had some quality bass too, let’s hope the weather is better next time he’s out. The bass will be around for a while yet and the good…
There is certainly no shortage of life inshore on our general trips at the moment. Of course there are hoards of whiting and dogfish to work through. These are on our baits very quickly but if baits are changed very regularly then we can work through these fish. There is a real variety of species…
As you might expect the offshore bass fishing is in full swing at the moment. Given the right conditions and if you can afford it we can bass fish most of the time. They have varied in size and numbers from day to day and place to place. They are pretty widespread at the moment…
The autumn bass fishing is in full swing now and pretty hot too right now. It was a pleasure to meet young William the other day and see him show the old boys how to catch them. Depending on conditions we are catching on bait and lures. He was lucky enough to experience both as…
Keep your eye out for my latest article in this month’s Sea angler magazine. I had the pleasure of meeting fellow skipper Shaun pedley when he joined a party that fish with a party that use both of our boats. Read more about our day in this month’s mag as well as lots. I have…
We have continued to see some cracking hound’s lately. There have been good numbers and a great average when we get among them. Although we catch them in various sizes and amounts throughout the year nowadays the main run of decent fish will draw to a close soon. I would say that this set of…
Sorry my reports have been a little irregular lately but I have been so busy aboard the Galloper and often out of signal range. The weather is great at the moment and the fishing has been pretty hectic at times. We continue to catch great numbers of smooth-hounds and often a really nice stamp too.…
Hopefully you can enjoy some of the summer weather we are currently having. It certainly makes a nice change to the very unsettled summer so far. Thankfully we haven’t had to cancel much at all. The fishing has been very good, we benifit from using a big catamaran and have lots of sheltered marks available…
With our main tope season now behind us I thought it would be a good time to take a look back at this years efforts. as ever there was no shortage of effort from the lads and we managed to get out and fish for them on just about every suitable tide. the weather tried…
As I’m sure you have noticed the weather has been quite unsettled of late. It’s not what we have come to expect from summer the last few years. To be honest this weather can be better for the fishing than blasing heat and endless calm weather. Fortunately we have remained busy and haven’t had to…
The Bass fishing aboard the Galloper continues to be very good. There are great numbers showing as we have come to expect over the last few years. there have been a few big fish showing amongst them too. We have seen several in the 6-8lbs over the last few weeks and with that stamp of…
As ever, the lads from the Suffolk police had a busy trip the other day despite forecasts of unsavoury weather. I gave the lads the choice between going a little further with a greater chance of bass or more comfort. They chose the comfortable option and it certainly was comfortable all day. the lads…
