    Report on-board Seawatch1

    Hi guys,I'm sure that most of you reading this report already know that the Thames Estuary has been producing some fantastic spring fishing over the last few weeks.Large numbers of plump codling to five pounds are still close inshore in the area providing great sport,best bait still seems to be lug and squid cocktails.A few days of warmer weather will soon warm the water and these fish will be leaving the area,so if you want to catch a few more make your trip sooner rather than later.Thornbacks are moving on to the grounds in greater numbers now,one angler ignored the codling and targeted the rays with fish baits on one rod and caught nine rays to double figures.We had our first bass of the season on Seawatch two weeks ago and I have heard of a few just south of us,so they are coming,all in all a good time to be fishing the Thames Estuary.
