Young Stanley has been out slaying the bass with us again. I think he was even top rod the other day. Its always great spending time with him and even better that he’s so keen on catching fish. He did let the lads catch a few bass too and of course there’s still been plenty…

It’s always nice to see Tony and the lads and they had a great day on the bass the other day. There was a mixed stamp of fish coming out but some decent ones among them. The lads had 10-15 each and a few other bits and bobs too such as whiting and dogfish in…

It’s not just bass coming out at the moment. The hound fishing has been good at times too. We had a great evening with Tony and the lads the other night. Hounds were our main aim and they were feeding well from the first cast. Kevin started us off and Neil wasn’t far behind. There…

plenty of bass showing

The bass have been showing in good numbers lately. Often 30-40 or more per trip with several kept for the table and the majority returned. With numbers of hounds, Dogfish, rays, whiting, dabs and pouting to name most of the species making up our general trips. We have had the first bass of the year…

flatfish fishing plaice, turbot, dabs

For a change to the recent pictures of hounds, bass and rays I thought I would put some flatfish on from our recent trips. We had a nice few hours drifting for plaice the other day with good numbers of plaice and dabs. We did a few drifts over the course of 2-3hrs and with…

springtime bass

It’s been great to see some nice bass and hounds coming out lately. These fish are some of the stockiest bass you will see as they are ready to spawn. The biggest fell to Barry wood and is a new pb for him at just over 10.8lbs. we normally try to release these big females…

March

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…

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. However now things are coming together and spring isn’t far away looking at the daffodils that already flowering. With the weather…

Seeing this months feature in sea angler magazine about out last trip to Shetland has prompted me to post some bits about some of our other  busman’s holidays while reports are slower this time of year. I will try to keep them very brief and share a few pictures as there is a full report…

if you are a sea angler beach or boat either fanatical or occasional and you have fished around the greater Thames Estuary then it is likely you have fished for thornback rays. if you have fished here the last few years you will undoubtedly noticed the steep decline in their numbers.

Just back from a very pleasant 4hr trip with Aaron and the lads hiring the boat between the 3 of them. The weather was bright and breezy for most of the trip but thankfully there were plenty of fish within the sheltered waters of the blackwater and Colne estuaries. We had a thornback ray first…

christmas period

There are still one or two rays hanging around inshore to be caught. These are a welcome break from the whiting which are a little smaller in places than they were a few weeks ago. The arrival of sprats has distracted many of the larger whiting and codling inshore. Even the dogfish have slowed with…
