we had the day off today and so stacey and i took out some friends of ours out with us for the day. stacey was at the helm and took us well off shore to one of our favourite big cod marks. on the ebb we only had a couple of cod and a roker aswell as a smoothound. as the tide started to flood we saw a few more cod coming aboard and by the end of the day we had 16 cod and 7 roker. there were loads of dogfish and whiting which kept us busy but i think they stop some of the cod getting to the bait. the cod averaged around 5-7lbs and the biggest was 11.6lbs caught by stacey.

Well after a short quiet period the past couple of weeks, the fishing is starting to get back on form. Today the lads took the option of quality not quantity and so we headed for one of our close range marks for bigger cod. The fishing wasn't fast but we were catching roker from the first cast and the cod soon followed coming steadily throughout the day. We were lucky having some great autumnal weather with a slight frost this morning and glorious sunshine throughout the day. The lads from Crouch Sea Anglers were very pleased with their catch totalling 18 cod averaging around 5-7lbs and the best around 9.8lbs. There were loads of whiting about and one of the lads even accidently had a cod on a whiting. We had 10 roker with the biggest about 6-7lbs, a load of dogfish and a nice bonus bass of about 3lbs. Not a bad day at all and I'm sure the fishing will only improve over the coming weeks and yes we do have some individual spaces as well as a couple of whole days still free. please see our website for weekly reports and any avialable dates.

we had some great weather for once and the lads had their pick of places to fish. we had some nice big tides and so went for a mixed bag of thornbacks and cod. its always nice to see some of the early fish and they are a nice size to, we only had a dousen today but they were all between 3lbs and 6lbs. we also had a dousen thornbacks to about 8lbs and loads of whiting and dogs. this is a grat sign for the coming weeks and months as the cod fishing will only get better.

well it seems like the autumn fish are here now, apart from the wind making the conditions a little uncomfortable we found some at the weekend. we started the day in the deeper water trying to aviod the swell but when the tide changed we were able to get where we wanted and were soon into much better fishing. we finished the day with 32 thornbacks aswell as a load of bits and bobs. a few codling have started to show inshore now although we didnt have any some of the other boats that stayed closer in saw some to 5-6lbs and i reckon we will see a few more of these on this next set of big tides this weekend.

after a short holiday abroad we have returned to the reiable thames for some fun summer fishing. we had 8 hire rods out saturday, some of which had been before but most were complete begginers. we had a good day with great weather and a few fish to boot. although we had no massive fish we did have a few smoothounds around the doubles and the biggest was 10.8lbs. by the end of the day the lads had enjoyed the fishing wich was at times quite hectic when we had a 3 and 4 smoothounds on at once. its always nice to see these fish with the average being around 7-8lbs they fight hard and are easily returned alive. we were pleased at the end of the day with 20 smoothounds to show for our efforts. over the next month expect to see more smoothounds, bass and roker aswell as the return of the codling in the not too distant future.

2009 has been very good to us so far and thankfully the fishing is still great.we were out on sunday despite the strong easterly as the lads were still keen to go.
we didnt venture too far due to the weather and as the lads were hire rods i didnt want to give them a rough trip.we had a good day after a very wet start and were rewarded in the afternoon with some bright sunshine and flat calm sea's.
we finished up with 23 thornbacks 1 small tope and a load of dogies.the lads and the boat both handled the sea really well and we didnt have one suffer with sea sickness!
