    What can i say fishing has taken yet another downturn in the
    last week where once we were filling bags with good whiting and a few skate plus dabs dogs and pouts also bass but only small ones. Up to our trip today we are still getting large numbers of whiting but the quality has gone down average of 15 to 20 keepers per rod and no skate or dogs so looks like the easterlies the week before and this weekend have taken the fish back out. Hopefully weather pattern this week is a sw to wsw and things will settle down but as for the cod nobody seems to know our rods are in and hooks baited they just need to ring the bell and things will get going but it may well be next year if at all and my fingers and a lot of other skippers are crossed but we are not holding our breath till our next report good luck and tight lines

    To the so called professional skipper Matt Barns of the Seiont A if you persist in slagging me of on Facebook i will take matters further and as of this day you are now being monitored and the police are being informed and from there court proceedings will be forthcoming. And if you so wish you can report me to any government department you wish we are fully accounted and if you wish the name of my accountant will be provided but be very careful as people like you should not throw stones in a greenhouse. As for me hiding do you know thats the most stupid thing i have heard my number is 07930526497, you have now made three remarks about me and all three are being collated to form a case for slander perhaps if you stop hiding behind face book and speak to me direct then you will get the facts direct A vessel your size should be reporting in to london vts and you also must have a listening watch via vhf and if you ever get round to reading the back of your vhf / Dsc license any thing you mention to third parties is a broken law of the home office. Again i dont know your number mine is 07930526497 and i dont have facebook as that site is for trolls and losers so the next move is in your court but before you yet again call me a prick of a charter skipper be aware the articles will go direct to the police. Just a foot note, before you put the panels in you were complaining of the lost shrimp being squashed by skate so dont play the poor hard done by owner and call me. I have been working this river before you were ever born so dont quote rules and regs to me as a lot of the time my job was sole fishing with my own commercial vessel many years ago

    Here we go on putting to sea sat 5th Nov another charter boat called me up to complain about a big red beam trawler going up and down where he was fishing also where we were heading due to to bad weather, i already know of this clown he was shrimp fishing but at the same time killing lots of skate on trying to call the said vessel there was a radio silence on going through several other channels of which he should have been monitoring he still didnt answer not only was he working up where we were sheltering due to severe weather but failing to show what he was doing. We all have to work together in this river but it seams he could not give a toss the boats name is Seiont A run by the Barns family after failing to speak to me via the vhf we asked Vts London were they aware of the trawler they said no i then informed them of his details and also not transmitting a Ais signal i thought that was the point of monitoring our fish stocks not if they dont turn their systems on. Further to this instance i was informed i had been slagged off on farce book or some other such waste of space site where idiots put up remarks if you wish to slag me off do it over the radio or phone i dont hide myself behind stupid sites where people can slander other people off,and one remark made by his son was that i reported him to fisheries this is not the case it was port control who want to be aware of all traffic in the Thames if said vessel persists in slagging me off then i will take matters further

    To all fellow skippers be aware of another arse that thinks its funny to book up as three individuals and then not bother to show up his name is ( David phone number 07754828930 ) and then to not answer the phone or texts i think people that do this should be taken to court and fined then they would feel how it is to loose money.And apologies to Jay that had his group either not going or having to pay a bit more we did a deal instead of the full amount but he was not happy even to the point he blamed me for the other group.We have a business to run Jay and if we went to work for no money it would not take long to go bust once again the arseholes name is ( David 07754828930 ) you are now in the black book and hopefully not be able to rip other skippers off

    Hi folks great fishing at the moment down river Saturday party 6 of novices we had a good selection of hounds many doubles with a best of 17.5lb to Trevor from Peterborough not only his first fish but the biggest well done mate another 6 to 10lb plus a handful of skate to 9lb to his catch he was lucky that he was a passenger on the way back so he could rest up lol On Sunday a group of fathers and their sons on a short upriver trip they wanted to be back early rather than 10 pm plenty of skate up to 8lb and a selection of hounds to 9lb shame the ebb tide didnt come on as well as the flood but all happy and well sun tanned lets hope the weather keeps good for this weekend till next time tight lines and not to many smash offs
