    Report on-board Duke IV


    Superb fishing off Ramsgate for now with good size Bass, Skate and Smoothound. The Belgium fysching club enjoyed their week landing quality fish every day aboard Duke IV. They topped off their catches with Skate to 11lb, with Bass and Hounds to 8lb. Most fish came to lugworm with Skate preferring the Mackerel chunks.  We have been plagued with dirty water over the last few weeks that has made Mackerel fishing difficult although the water ia clearing now giving us a better chance with the feathers, along with the Mackerel a few Bass and gurnard kept it interesting. Now is the best time for large Bass, a waiting game although the Hounds and Whiting fill in the gaps. The odd Codling starting to show up so fingers crossed for this years cod fishing that should start in October and go through the winter. The Skate fishing can be good throughout the winter along with Whiting keeping the angler's busy. I like to try the wrecks in September for the Cod that build up prior to coming inshore for the crab and small Whiting that make up there diet through the winter. I have spaces left on a wreck trip on Wed 9th September.
    So plenty of action to be had with space and date's available to book Duke IV
