  Finaly the summer arrives, the sun comes out, the sea goes flat and the bream turn up. I had Malcolm McMaconell and his party from up on the Humber out Saturday and Sunday. They thought Saturday was good, catching bream to just over 3lb. Sunday was better, again bream to just over 3lb, over 120 between the 6 of them, Malcolm had 42 himself. Brilliant fishing with a good bunch of anglers who returned the majority of female and smaller fish. Roll on the rest of the summer.

  Well the boat is now at Pier Rd, Littlehampton, so if you've been on the boat from Ford note the new location. September saw a total of 16 species on the boat including bream, bass, cod, conger, whiting, tope, thornbacks and smoothounds. The last weekend was probably the best, with the small tides we went out and anchored a deep hole both days and the weather couldnt have been calmer. Saturday saw the first cod to baits at anchor this year and Ron who was out celebrating his 82nd birthday had the best fish, an eel of 40lb. Sundays best fish went to Charlotte on her first trip, the only other fish she has caught being the mackerel bait on the way out. After that she went on to catch another three eels I think. With the cod turning up to baits I look forward to October and the rest of the winter. October shoud continue to turn up big eels as well as bream and bass amongst the cod and other species.

  Winds and weather were not kind in August, however when we have got out the fishing has been good. Pollack to 14lbs and bass from the wrecks on lures when the tides have been smaller. From the banks and reefs a variety of fish including bream, bass, rays, gurnard tope and hounds. Probably the best fish this month was a conger of 50lbs from rough ground at night to Trigger on his first boat trip and his first conger too! Now the evenings are drawing in more opportunity for an evening trip targeting this species are available before the water cools and they move into deeper water. Hopefully the weather will be better for the comming autumn.

  13th, 14th June, what a briliant weekend for the weather, shame the small tides made the fish difficult to keep on the feed, we still managed a good number of bream and three undulate rays between 13lb and 14lb. With weather that good everyone enjoyed themselves, let there be many more.

  Yesterday, 30th May, saw the best bream to the boat this year, a fish of 4lb 10oz to Lionel from Holland. It was his first bream, caught on his first drop of the day, before most others had tackled up! That’s the way to start, but difficult to repeat. The rest of the lads did their best to beat him and though they had fish all day and a number of double hits of bream up to 3lb couldn’t do so. The month has been good with a variety of species including tope, smoothounds, pollack, cod, some huge garfish, bass, even topknots and cuttlefish to mention a few. The weekend just gone saw mackerel around in reasonable numbers and a good showing of joeys amongst them so next month should see bass over the wrecks and reefs to livebaits. Looking forward to next month with more good bream, bass, tope and hounds inshore and for those wanting to travel cod, pollack and bass on the drift and conger etc at anchor on the wrecks.
