Report on-board LADY OF THE LAKE III
Sussex Offshore Fishing Charters Ltd – Trip Report: 27th July 2025
Skippered by Jamie Page aboard “Lady of the Lake III"
Today we had a full crew of nine onboard for our 0900 lock-out. Lines were off the quay by 0830, and we headed out to find a few mackerel. Unfortunately, the conditions were rough and the mackerel didn’t show, so we didn’t hang about—time was better spent making use of the flood tide with high water due around 1400.
We pushed out to College Rocks and dropped the hook on the main reef. There was constant action all morning—plenty of bites and small black bream. A few made the grade for size, and we had some variety too with a nice gurnard and a few lively congers coming up to the deck.
As slack water hit, we moved to another known bream spot on the reef but found it tough going. The big tide and a steady north westerly wind didn’t help—making it hard to lie straight at anchor. Still, the crew stayed at it, and we shifted again, this time slightly inshore to North College Rock. A few more keeper bream showed there, but it remained a challenge throughout.
We made the 1630 lock back in, and I’ve got to give credit where it’s due—massive well done to the whole crew for sticking it out in hard conditions. A tough day, but plenty of laughs, plenty of bites, and a few nice fish in the boxes.
