Fishing Report by Roger Lennon

Let me start by saying I still have spaces available for Bank Holiday Monday. My 4 hour trips have now started, which are a great insight into boat fishing- for both novices and the beginner. I have a fresh supply of peeler crab on board.Give me a call to get your order in.
While the fishing just goes from strength to strength, with the change over of winter to summer species in full swing. Now is the time to bag up on skate, especially if you've never caught one as 20+ fish a trip is quite common. Add to this the hounds, spurdogs, bass, and spring codling. I think April/May is going to be a bumper time for fishing up to 10 miles off. Still have good tide dates available. I look forward to answering all your queries for trips aboard Bayside. All my trips include rods, reels, tackle and some baits. 07805250427.
Tight Lines!

Am expecting a big influx of codling any time now on the inshore marks which are sheltered from prevailing winds, I very rarely get blown off as opposed to more exposed ports or venues. The bass will probably stay around for a month or two yet because the sea temp is still quite high! This time of year usually throws up a huge fish or two. The boat will be operating between Christmas and New Year so if you fancy getting out of the house and blowing away the cobwebs and mince pies get in touch!! Have now got my 2012 diary and tide table January Feb and March should see us fishing for skate and large cod so get in touch now to book for the better tides. hope to see you all aboard Bayside soon,

As you can see with the settled weather we've been having, the fishing is going from strength to strength. We seem to be hitting personal best Bass on every trip at the moment and with double figure hounds showing between the Bass it doesn't get much better!! Still plenty of mackerel showing so no expensive bait needed for a great day afloat as a large box of squid will easily be enough for 4 anglers. Also getting Bass on feathers on inshore wrecks as the water is still clear. All these fish have been caught around the Goodwin Sands which will give you a good 7 hours fishing in an 8 hour trip! The evening trips have ceased due to the shorter nights but will start up again in May. Now starting to take bookings for Cod fishing from October onwards ( but be quick to book as we had fish to over 20lb last year) Hope to see you all soon.

After taking over this boat in March the weather has stopped us getting out as much as I'd like so I haven't been posting, but as you can see now we've been able to get out onto the Bass grounds at long last. It has been hectic fishing with several specimens over 10lb with our best so far at 12lb 2oz. The Mackerel are showing everywhere, the hounds have styed with us and there are still some large skate showing on most trips. I think that the summer has arrived at last and this fishing will continue right throuh into October when hopefully the cod will arrive in numbers. All these fish were caught within 40 minutes of Ramsgate harbour which proves you don't have to steam miles and waste valuable fishing time to get really decent fish!!
Some dates are still available for day bookings and I'm still running my 4 hour evening trips which is plenty of time to catch yourself a decent specimen!!
