Fishing Report by Scott Belbin
on Galloper (Brightlingsea, Essex)
Jan 2015 by Scott Belbin
Report on-board Galloper
The new year is well underway already and Christmas almost seems a distant memory. We were lucky enough to get out several times over the Christmas period and with some great results too. we took advantage of the blackwater estuaries shelter on several occasions and the river is still producing well with numbers of codling coming out along with whiting and some nice roker too. we managed an offshore trip too with the odd nice fish knocking about. The dogfish were a pain at times as is often the case but there were one or two better fish about as well. Les king did the best by far starting with a nice cod of 14.15lbs followed by a couple of smaller ones soon after. This is a good fish compared to the general stamp in our area this year and a decent fish by anybody’s standards I’m sure. I wouldn’t expect one this size every time but its nice to know they’re out there. Inshore the fishing has been great with general numbers around 30-50 a day. This is mostly codling in the 16-18 inch bracket with a few smaller and the odd bigger one. Some days have fished very well indeed when everything goes right. One trip last week was with just 4 lads fishing 6 rods and we totalled around 80 codling, a few whiting and 4 roker for the day. The stamp was great with just one or two under 16 inches and the majority 3lbs or more! One lucky angler had getting on for 50 himself. Thankfully the lads are fishing in a really responsible manour keeping the odd one or two for the table and letting most go. We had another trip with even better numbers coming out although there were a few smaller ones mixed in too that day. The numbers crept up steadily and before we knew it we were staying a little later to try and make the hundred. Unfortunately the tide died along with the fishing but we had 97 for the day and my best numbers for a few years now. These fish may not be monsters but they truly are great fun on light up tide gear. I wouldn’t expect these numbers every trip although its hard not to get spoiled when its fishing that well. i don’t know how long these fish will hang around for. If we are lucky then they could be here until April but who knows and when they go we should see the roker move in anyway.
I have updated my available dates for this year along with all of my offshore trips. If you are after specific tides such as offshore trips may require I would advise you book well in advance as booking are on a ‘first come first served’ basis. I update my website and facebook pages regularly with reports and pictures. For updates, available dates and more information please vist my website www.essexseafishing.co.uk or call 07956411528

Report on-board High Flyer 2
With the forcast all over the place having spoke to other skippers few cancelled had a word with the boys and we decided to go for it, being safe staying inshore again! Turned out apart from the rain which was a bit dreary at times the wind never appeared and flat calm conditions throughout the day! Cant think why these forcasts are so wrong with our modern technology? Plenty of fresh lugworm today all round and some slightly smelly ones from last trip, new variety of squid plus fresh blacks headed nearly off Lowestoft further south to our usual haunts. Only 2 boats out today angling that joined us, bit of a slow start with few whiting making a show then just the odd codling as we were not far off slack. As the tide changed fish started coming in most of the day really quite a few put back today well done lads great for conservation. No flatties today nor pouting only codling and whiting, picture here of the keepers around 3 oclock as wanted a picture before dark until new camera arrives! Stayed till about 5.30pm after having moved back up to the mud with few more coming in. Was a great day all round, thanks to everyone pitching in and washing down,Brilliant much appreciated, thanks to Steve and Trevor first time on the Flyer,also Terry, regulars Steve and Matt and dave really enjoyed it men was good day all round and nice start to 2015. Looking to do night trip soon as weather possibly giving us high pressure keep eye out on website calender for places. ( Jon. High Flyer)

Report on-board Lady Grace
We had a 3 hour fishing trip today with Phil, Nettie and Chris. Luckily Chris showed them how to catch and had 3 codling and 1 whiting while Phil and Nettie caught crabs and limpet shells. All cod and whiting were released to live another day despite being big enough for the dinner table
