It's a shame that the weather has been so unsettled lately but thankfully we've not had to cancel any trips. To be honest I do enjoy the different challenge and showing off the sheltered fishing brightlingsea has to offer. It's rewarding in a different way to the offshore stuff. We have had some lovely fish and a great variety too over the last few trips.
The usual hounds with lots in the 8-10lb keeping us busy at times and some lovely bass in between the smaller ones.
Fishing these different areas means we have a better chance of other species such as stingrays and we've had 3 in the last couple of trips.
Other species include Dover sole, silver eel, Conger eel, dab, thornback rays, dogfish, whiting, pouting and tope one of over 25lb very close inshore which was very briefly on the boat but a little camera shy!
I have boat availability this week Monday to Wednesday and individual spaces too.

The summer fishing is in full swing now even if the summer weather may not be. We are fortunate enough to have some great sheltered marks and they have been very productive lately too. There have been some lovely hounds and decent bass as well as a nice variety of species thrown in too. Guy was very pleased with his best bass so far this year after loosing a big one at the net on his boat the other week and Phil was pleased to see some nice hounds on his trip.
I have spaces for individuals and groups over the next few weeks so please get in touch if you want to join us. Most offshore trips from now on will be targeting bass.

Sorry I haven't put much on lately, the great weather has often meant I've been working long hours with no signal. There have been some lovely fish showing with some chunky bass among the schoolies. The hound fishing has been pretty good in places and there's one or two rays and tope showing too. We will be starting our offshore bass trips soon and they continue until the start of December.
I have availability for groups and individuals over the next few weeks. We are running all sorts of trips from 4hr inshore trips to offshore trips targeting bass and flatties and of course mixed general trips for smooth hounds and bass.

It was great to see the lads from plumbcity Braintree again the other day. The weather was gorgeous and the fishing was busy from the first cast. There were good numbers of hounds, some small tope, dogfish, rays and some nice bass. The only downside was being stuck with a load of plumbers but I suppose you can't have everything! Great to see the lads again and you are welcome anytime if you bring weather and fishing like that.

Sorry I've been quiet this week, I've been offshore most of the week and my phone gave up the ghost too.
Despite the unsettled weather we have managed to get our trips out and find a few fish as well. I lost a lot of pictures with my phone but we've seen some nice bass and hounds the last couple of days so I got a few pictures for you. Other species over the last few trips include thornback rays, tope, dogfish, whiting, dabs, pouting, plaice and even a Conger eel. I have availability for full boat bookings and individual spaces this week and next not all dates advertised.

The summer fishing is now in full swing. The other day we started off catching bass on lures, then at anchor for the best of the tide and back on the lures on the way home. Rick was top rod with the anchored fishing with some nice hounds up the 13lb and a lovely bass. There were also whiting, dogfish, pouting, dabs and tope caught. All in all a pretty typical general trip for the time of year with pleasant weather and some decent fish.

Aside from the bass the hounds keep coming in too, some days there are lots of smaller fish other days the stamp can be great. As is the sport from these hard fighting fast fish which never disappoint. Although bass and hounds make up most of our catches on general trips there's still one or two rays, dogfish, whiting, dabs and other species mixed with them. Offshore we are mainly targeting tope and bass at the moment. I might put together a fatty trip if there's enough interest.

The bass fishing continues to be good at the moment. There have been some quality fish showing on many of our trips and at times large numbers too. Bottom fishing is normally producing the better fish and the bigger numbers are coming on lures when conditions suit. As well as bass our general trips are producing good hounds, tope, rays and several other species too.
The weather is forecast to improve and I have spaces this week on general trips as well as boat availability.

This time of year is great for variety so I thought I'd share some of the different species we've caught lately. Garfish, lobster, tope, bass and hounds on our general trips. The scad was offshore but a proper jumbo one so thought I'd share it.
