It's not just bass coming out at the moment. The hound fishing has been good at times too. We had a great evening with Tony and the lads the other night. Hounds were our main aim and they were feeding well from the first cast. Kevin started us off and Neil wasn't far behind. There were lots of double figure fish and the biggest falling to Neil at 18.5lb. unfortunately around 1lb smaller than his pb (caught around 15 years ago on one of my previous boats) but still a great fish. Tony had a nice little stingray and along with the 30 odd hounds we had lots of bass and other bits and bobs.

Come rain or shine the fishing has been good this week. Numbers of hounds and bass and some nice fish amongst them. The lads have kept a few bass each trip with many more returned. The hounds have been feeding well at times and there have been some decent double figure fish coming out too. Making up the rest of the catches are dogfish, whiting, dabs and tope.
I have spaces remaining this weekend and into next week

Well there's a first time for everything! I've often seen a hooked bass chased by other bass as we bring it in. It happens with lots of fish where I gather they are confused by the excitement of the hooked fish and don't want to miss out. However they normally shy away as they near the boat. But on this occasion I was able to net the non-hooked bass before netting the one he was chasing! We've caught two on one hook and even caught them on the grips of the weight but you can tell there are a lot of bass around when I can just pluck them from the sea without the need for a rod!
So you may have gathered there are plenty of fish out there at the moment and I have spaces this week.

The fishing over the last week or two has really turned a corner and it suddenly feels quite like summer. Obviously the weather has been great too and we have been busy catching lots of fish.
Some days the bass have been in great numbers on lures and baits. Smooth hounds are here in numbers and sizes vary from one day to another. The biggest in the last few weeks has been over 18.5lb. we have even seen quite a few tope mixed in on our general trips too which is hopefully a good sign for the tope season. I will report on this once we have finished as normal so please don't wait for reports before you book.
Next individual spaces are this Tuesday (21st) then over the bank holiday weekend. Please call 07956411528 for more information -

It's not all about the bass! There are still a few thornback ray showing along with the bass, smooth hounds, dogfish, whiting and dabs ect. They might not be as numerous as a few years ago but the other day we had 8 rays as well as 25-30 hounds and over 50 bass. There were several other species caught including the first tope of the year for us.
I have spaces aboard Galloper from this weekend onwards for individuals and groups.

The bass have been showing in good numbers lately. Often 30-40 or more per trip with several kept for the table and the majority returned. With numbers of hounds, Dogfish, rays, whiting, dabs and pouting to name most of the species making up our general trips. We have had the first bass of the year on lures too as the algae clears, water clarity improves and the bass start to feed on the bait fish when conditions suit.

The bass fishing has improved over the last week or so. These are the best two from the other day with 30-40 caught and 16 kept. There were plenty of hounds, Dogfish, whiting and dabs in between too. Things were pretty busy at times with 3 bass to the top rod on the first few casts before the kettle had boiled! Worm was very important and the lads who didn't use it didn't have as many bass.

There were some great hounds and bass showing over the last few trips. The other day the lads had good numbers of each with several decent bass for the table and some nice hounds too. The biggest hound fell to Steve on the last cast of the day and went 18.5lbs which is a great early season fish and there's plenty of time to beat it this summer. It could have been the one that got away for his son Sam earlier in the day but Sam made up for it with the bass he really wanted.

The general trips are still producing a good mix of fish at the moment. There have been some nice hounds around with some pregnant girls pushing double figures. The bass have improved in numbers in places with several keepers per day in places and some decent rays mixed in too. Of course those dogfish are still there in case you are worried about missing them. With temperatures set to rise and good weather forecast for the next few days things are looking good.
