on Braveheart II (Wallasea Island, Essex)

Report on-board Braveheart II
The fishing this last month has been exceptional as traditionally and historically August can be very hit and miss with water temperature peaking towards the end of the month and prolonged high pressure systems, all marine life can become very lethargic punctuated with brief spells of activity. This August was completely different and everything seemed to be on the feed on all but the smallest tides. Weed has been a terrible problem for anglers this year but unfortunately for the best part the fish were where the weed was and anglers had to fish through it frequently reeling in and clearing line and bait of the dreaded stuff but those who persevered had good results.

The month of August has been very good for stingrays as this is the month of you want to add these to your species list. We boated 14 and lost another 5 big fish due to Anglers tackle failure or angler panic, remember its not a race its a marathon with these powerful fish.
There are still one or two good tope around for anglers that want to persevere for them. As we move into autumn i look forward to bass fishing on the sandbanks of the outer Thames estuary where they shoal and fatten up before moving off for the winter.
More than happy to answer any queries
All the best and tight lines

Fishing Report by Nick Gough
on Skylark (Scarborough, North Yorkshire)

Report on-board Skylark
Today we had a 6hr trip planned with a 3hr and a 2hr afterwards
View Boats Page
We set off at 9am and the customers were been quite impatient so we decided to get fishing ASAP on a rock mark close to the harbour and strait away was into mackerel. This kept the customers happy and we had several runs managing to find a good few cod and Pollock also.
As fishing slowed down with ebbing tide reducing we decided to run further up the coast to get some more tide.
Again we found more mackerel, a few more cod and some whiting just off the rock.
As soon as the tide started turning the sea started building to a good meter which wasn't forecast and with a few of the customers suffering the effects of sea sickness we decided to run back for some shelter to from the swell. As we ran back the sea carried on building. Unfortunately conditions had picked up to the point it was unfishable so we were forced to return earlier than expected.
As we approached the harbour we did see some bottle nose dolphins in the harbour mouth again.
We cancelled the 2 hour trip at this point and the 3 hour trip we cancelled in person as the customers had travelled and paid for the parking so we offered to take them on a free ride out to see the dolphins for half an hour.
As soon as we left the harbour they soon released why we had cancelled the trip and after a bit of searching they all managed to see the dolphins heading south. -

Report on-board Skylark
Today we had a 6 hour trip to start with fishing was instant for us this morning as mentioned in a previous social post the skipper got a cracking 9lb 3oz Pollock which ended up been the heaviest fish of the day.
View Boats Page
Overall the customers had a few cod and Pollock was slow going compared to what we have seen recently but with the winds and the tides its coloured the water a bit but lures were still working.
Once the ebbing tide was gone we kept moving marks trying to locate the fish and it was slow going for a bit until we found the tide again.
The 3 hour trip was slow starting with a few Pollock showing and a few cod we tried several marks to try and pick up some mackerel but with no success until the last 30 minutes of the trip and we then managed to find them in abundance.
On the way back to the harbour we saw all the passenger boats stationary in the harbour entrance when we looked closer we noticed a pod of bottle nose dolphins so we came in slightly later than expected and watched the dolphins leave.

Two days are never the same

Todays trip unfortunately was cut short due to the predicted winds coming earlier than expected but young Charlie did really well winding up fish most drifts as usual
Plenty of plump mackerel as the last few days
As the customers had some fish to take back and the fishing becoming very difficult and tackle hungry due to the wind and tide been together making the drifts really fast we decided to call the trip short after 5hrs
