Fishing Report by Ron Angel
on Why Worry (Burnham-On-Crouch, Essex)

Report on-board Why Worry
Early start again as we needed to put the miles in. Again, a struggle to really get enough Mackerel. Crew today, Tiny, Rothie, Moley and me as I fancied a fish! When we finally got the Hook down the fishing was pretty good for numbers but not the sizes. Most fish in the 10-12lb Bracket and one around the 18lb mark. A nice Bass for Moley and there were Rokers and Hounds in the mix. It was really a bite and fish a cast.

The real problem was the lack of Mackerel, even pulling the Hook at high water and mooching around we just couldn't find anymore.
Try again tomorrow and hopefully the sizes step up a bit and the Mackerel shoal up after a settled day and night.
Thanks for coming guys. Do it all again soon. -

The fishing is absolutely superb at the moment , plenty of mackerel about to keep for diner or use as bait. Loads of skate on the banks along with numerous hungry hard fighting smoothounds and bass. Treat yourself to a trip.

Some very nice fish being caught now that the mackerel are in and with a bit of luck the fishing should be getting even better. Biggest ling came in at 11lb 8oz and the biggest cod was a nice 11lb 12oz.
Many thanks for a great day with a cracking bunch of lads. -

although it took a while to get going, since the first warm up the spring has been good to us. there have been steady numbers of thornback about ever since the first warm up. in April I bought a new boat so the aqaustar has gone and been replaced by an evolution 33 which we are very pleased with. she's quite a bit faster and this extra speed has helped on the longer trips to allow more fishing time. our first trip on here was with a group of regulars and we steamed offshore in search of some spur-dogs. we then had a good run of inshore fishing with thornbacks making up the bulk of the catches. as I mentioned they have been about in really good numbers again. with many good days had as well as decent fish our best day was 63 although it may have been more as it was a little hectic. thankfully they were close to home too so when the weather was poor we could still have a good days fishing and avoid cancellations. in between we managed to get back offshore and this time in search of some flatties. we found a few plaice and other bits and bobs, nothing compared to other parts of the country but not bad considering not many people realise they are there.
as spring turned to summer a few bass and smooth-hounds have shown but hampered by the weather and with such good sport for the rays inshore we had no need to search for them just picking some up some mixed in with the rays. we had a couple of try's for tope in early june although I think fishing was running late. after that the weather has been too bad or the lads haven't fancied. we had a try for a couple of hours last Saturday after a morning bass fishing with one of 2lbs mixed in with lots of dogfish, a couple of hounds and a roker.
thankfully we had enjoyed some great fishing in the morning for the bass so weren't too worried. Saturday and Sunday were both good for the bass with 35-40 Saturday and a few less Sunday. there were many in the 2-5lbs range and just the odd small one. the lads kept a few each day for the pot and let many go and were of course grateful for good fishing and weather. these were specific bass trips so don't expect that every time although there is every chance. over the next few weeks we hope to concentrate on the smooth-hounds for sport and a few bass and rays and what ever else the thames estuary has to throw at us.I update my website weekly with fishing reports so for more information, available dates and a weekly fishing update visit www.essexseafishing.co.ukUPCOMING INDIVIDUAL SPACES ONBOARD Galloper
