    Great fishing off Ramsgate for now with plenty of quality Smoothounds, Bass and Skate. The Mackerel have become a bit hit or miss with dirty water making life difficult. The Hounds have been mostly coming to live prawn which we are able to source here at Ramsgate. Whiting are starting to show now letting us know that winter is just around the corner, still hoping that a few Cod will show this year with October being the month when things happen. This is the time of year the large Bass can be expected although the 6lbers we have been catching make a fine meal. Still spaces available for whole boat or individual booking aboard Duke IV so give me a call and let's go fishing.

    Started the day with live Shrimp bait that we are able to get catching 4 Smoothounds to 7lbs. As the bite slowed we moved to the edge of the bank drifting with the tide for mackerel, although slow due to the misty water we caught about 20 along with couple of Bass.
    With enough for bait we moved to the other side of the bank and fished for Skate landing 5 to 7lb and Terry caught a good Bass on mackerel chunk. A good day fishing catching the species we were after at each spot.We will put you on the fish, you can then catch em. Pic shows group shot with some of today's catch.

    Summer has arrived and with it plenty of Mackerel to lures, Skate and Hounds to baits. The water has warmed so much that the doggies are feeling uncomfortable and have been replaced with varying sizes of Mackerel and Bass. Herring remains the most reliable bait with lugworm coming in second, Alan has been out with his push net and we have had live prawns some days always a favourite bait for the Smoothounds. Still some weekend and week days available on Duke lV so call me up and let's go fishing..

    As the water warms and clears the fishing has been reliable with plenty of Skate with good shoals of Bass when the water drops clear. Also the Smoothound fishing has been good with plenty one day and none the next. Herring remains the best bait with lugworm catching all species. Mackerel have started showing to feathers although again can't be relied upon for bait. Fergus enjoyed showing all how to catch fish including the Hound pictured that took a liking to a herring chunk. Plenty of space available on Duke lV weekdays and still spaces available for individuals on 24thJune.

    The Belgium fiching club are back in Ramsgate fishing every day aboard Duke IV. On Thursday they landed Smoothounds to 9lb along with Skate and some nice Whiting, unusual for this time of year. Frozen crab caught the Hounds with Herring for the Skate. Today we have headed north looking for the Hounds but are catching plenty of Skate, mostly Male fish on Herring bait. Still spaces available aboard Duke IV for groups or individuals. Call me on 07715050851 to get out fishing and make the most of this very productive time of year.

    The Skate are still here in numbers and we are catching up to 20 a day on Herring or Squid bait. Also Smoothounds and Bass although the Hounds are on the small side with the occasional better fish being landed. Peeler crab is now available, it's early this year so won't last much longer but is a top bait for the Smoothounds. Chris bought the family out today catching plenty of male Skate, so good for eating.
    Still some weekend dates available so get in touch and book a fishing trip aboard Duke IV to make the most of this fishing bonanza.

    Plenty of Skate coming up today, mostly male fish so some to take home. A good size generally taking squid and herring baits. A few Whiting and good size Doggies making up the numbers. After 4hrs fishing the boys have landed eleven Skate, the best around 7lb 8oz. A few Smoothounds showing already so prospects are good and we can hope the fish keep coming throughout the Spring.
    Still some weekend dates available so get your rods out and let's go fishing. Pic shows part of today's catch!

    Plenty of Skate out from Ramsgate with some good Whiting among them. A few Cod being caught although slow to arrive this year, perhaps due to the high water temperature. The Bass are still around. Herring the top bait for the Skate with lugworm for the bass.. The Herring should arrive soon with the main shoal of Cod and Codling and the Skate will stay throughout the winter. Jeffs group had plenty of fish today keeping the male Skate for the pot. Still some weekend dates available on Duke lV.

    Still plenty to catch off Ramsgate for now with winter species arriving and summer fish leaving, a few Codling being reported already, quite early this year so hopefully a good winter ahead. Whiting are here one day then gone the next. Bass fishing good mostly small fish but with better ones amongst them. The Hounds are leaving now through our area, nice feisty fish up to 10lb, a real handful on light tackle. We have had good numbers of Skate through the winter recently and as we have been catching them throughout summer we should keep good numbers through winter. Dates available throughout from now whole boat and individuals trips so come on down before it gets too cold. A nice Hound caught other day on 2hrs fishing trip see picture.
