Report on-board Galloper
It was lovely to see Jon and the lads out for their first time this year. The lads opted to target hounds with a chance of other stuff in some of the glorious weather we have experienced lately. Although we had hounds all day long it took me a while to find the better numbers as they weren't where I'd left them last time! The lads are kind enough to encourage me to fish with them. I don't often have time or room nowadays with a busy boat. I managed to luck out a decent bass which went just shy of 6lbs, thanks for netting it Alan. Unfortunately I was a bit slow with the net and Alan lost one a bit smaller than mine later on. I also had another chase up a pouting I reeled in later. Typically it ignored the pouting Jon already had out for bass .
The hound fish improved throughout the day and I struggled to drag the lads away from them in the end. I clocked around 40 hounds though there were probably more caught and I was a bit preoccupied with fishing and unhooking ect.
Whatever we caught it was a great day with lots of sport and always nice to see the lads.
I still have spaces this weekend aboard Galloper from brightlingsea Essex please call 07956411528 for more information.

The lads from Norfolk police were down the other day for one of their boat matches. we went for some mixed fishing with the hope of some rays, hounds and bass. Thankfully they all made an appearance and despite a slower start than the expected we had a busy afternoon with a good few rays but current standards. Dick would have easily won if his third one hadn't snapped the trace at the net. Instead Graham took the money and deservedly so with a nice bass and roker helping with his points.
Fishing has been great the last few weeks with an abundance of fish from hounds, bass and dogs through to rays, whiting and other species.

Report on-board Dotty
Our bass fishing season got off to a cracking start last Saturday!
Returning anglers Nick, Ant, Matt and Greg coming down from Oxford for a lure fishing trip on Dotty. Bit lumpy in the morning with wind over tide to get to the marks but worth it, finding the birds 12 miles out produced plenty of bass straight away.
Perfect conditions in the afternoon meant great sport all day with many fish returned.
Well done guys you were awesome!! Here's a picture of Greg with one of the best despite being pretty ill most of the time!
Some great tides this week with a perfect forecast might do an individuals day if there's enough interest.View Boats Page

The smooth-hounds continue to show in fantastic numbers from brightlingsea. Saturdays trip saw Barry, mark and Steve have the boat to themselves. I gave them options of targeting rays, bass or hounds. The lads chose to go back on the hounds as they enjoy the sport and there's plenty of time to target bass in the coming months.
Our first mark produced a few hounds of a reasonable size but I wasn't happy so we had a short move and the next mark was busy from the first cast. The tide turned and numbers just improved throughout the day. There were still plenty of dogfish, a few whiting and a couple of pouting. Barry hooked a lovely ray which snapped his trace at the net and mark caught her boyfriend a short while later. I managed to get a couple of rods out too although things were a little hectic to say the least between making tea, netting and unhooking fish and the occasional tangle as a better fish made a mess of things. We fished two rods each although it was hard to keep both in the water at the same time. As the tide eased off we called it a day guessing we had around 20 hounds each. I was surprised when I counted up on the way home that we had 93! Not bad between 4 anglers! If I'd known then I would have been tempted to stay and go for 100! In all honesty it was hard to keep tabs amongst the chaos so there's every likelihood we had a few more than I marked down. We didn't have any double figure fish but a nice sporting stamp and busy fishing.
We have seen some fantastic numbers of fish lately in places but I am fortunate enough to have some great crews, a great boat and have far more experience than most skippers in the area.
I have spaces for groups and individuals over the next few weeks both midweek and weekends. Please contact me to check availability
