Fishing Report by Steve Green
on Brigand (Brighton, East Sussex)
12 Apr 2025 by Steve Green
Report on-board Brigand
Brighton Bream fishing is off and running aboard www.brigandcharters.com!
Always a little nervy when we head for our first targeted trips of the year, today was Bream and the last 9 years of our catch records strongly suggested that we would be ok....... but until that first one comes over the side there's a fair bit of pacing up and down the deck!
Gavin soon put any concerns to rest with a nice fish of a couple of pounds and that was quickly followed by a steady stream of quality fish up to 3 1/2lb.
As always, the crew really do make the day and sharing time with wonderful people is what drives us forward. A mix of people who have fished with us for several years and some who are new to fishing with us at www.brigandcharters.com - a pleasure sharing the day with you all and thank you all for your excellent company ��
We have 3 Spaces available this Monday 14th so if good quality Bream fishing, in shallow water on light gear appeals to you give Karl a call on 07768 721477 to book on with us.
NEW BOAT UPDATE!
Well, she's almost there..... feels like I've been saying that for the last month! However, It has to be right and we are making sure it is.
A big milestone getting the decks flocoated, stainless in place, winch installed (a huge thank you to the wonderful Carl Porter on that front), twin transducers and all seacocks, fuel lines, water hoses replaced. Night vision system, MFD's & safety equipment to be installed, exhausts hooked-up, cabin heating system and heads to be plumbed in and we're ready to sea-trial and get her back to Brighton....... another 2 weeks should see that done and Captain Karl Pope will be smashing those inshore Bream, Bass & Plaice ����.
Best wishes

Fishing Report by phillip browning
on Braveheart II (Wallasea Island, Essex)
Apr 2025 by phillip browning
Report on-board Braveheart II
It's nice to see the thornback Ray's again after having huge numbers in the Thames estuary for years only to see the numbers drastically reduced in the last 3 years. They were considered a pest by some anglers but I always loved catching these rays , and especially in the summer with the warmer water temperature can really give you a good scrap on light tackle. On Tuesday we were getting triple hook ups of thornback like the old days, and always keeps the angler's happy, which is my sole objective.
If you'd like to jump on BRAVEHEARTII please check out my website for details
Many thanks & tight lines

Big thanks to everyone who joined us—already buzzing for the next one!

Fishing Report by Scott Belbin
on Galloper (Brightlingsea, Essex)

Report on-board Galloper
Although Essex isn't often accociated with plaice nowadays they can still be caught in the right places. Infact the numbers have been pretty good when we have tried for them the last couple of years. We will be putting a few trips together for them over the next couple of months for those who are interested. We can tie in fishing for other species too such as bass and of course there's other stuff coming out on the plaice gear like gurnard and other flaties.
I will try and advertise some suitable tides nearer the time but if you are interested in joining us as a group or individual then please get in touch and I'll send some dates through.
In the meantime the fishing is really ramping up for us now. Even on our general trips are producing a wide variety of species.
I have availability for groups and individuals over the next week and the Easter weekend.
Not all dates advertised
18/04- 6 spaces @ £60pp
20/04- groups and individuals welcome
21/04- 6 spaces @ £60pp
