Great day offshore on the Turbot today. Some fantastic fish boated including Turbot (of course!), Brill, Pollock, whiting and some very decent mackerel.
Great to be back out in the deeps and targeting these magnificent fish.
Best wishes

Weather has not been kind to us of late here on the South Coast but when we have managed to get out we have been having some cracking Pollock off of the wrecks to over 17lb. Average weights are up on last 2 seasons with double figure fish being far more common than single figure ones.
Great sport which will continue through until March when we prepare for Black Bream fishing inshore. Last year was fantastic with catches of 100 fish per day not uncommon and up to 4lb in weight.
Check us out on Facebook (Brigandbrighton) and if you want to get amongst the action you can book directly through this site.
Best wishes & tight lines -

The excellent run of Turbot & Brill has continued throughout the Summer and we continue to see up to 40 fish/day being boated. With a few Cod appearing inshore we will soon be focusing our attention on them as we build toward the wrecking season.

Offshore fishing is really hotting up; Bass (C&R only), Cod, Turbot & Brill in good numbers with plenty of decent mackerel out there for bait and some specimen size fish for the table.

A lovely day out today with a wonderful crew. We lost some big fish (Almost certainly Tope on one occasion & Bass on the other), landed a total of 12 species including Brill, Bass & John Dory and yet still have a nagging feeling we could have done better.
Weather looks settled for the next week and Cod appear to be present in sufficient numbers to actually target them so we have a little of that planned in the coming week.
A couple of places Thursday for a Cod & Bass trip 0757206543. -

Been super busy of late so not the usual updates.
In summary - we’ve been putting in the miles and hitting offshore marks at every opportunity targeting Turbot & Brill whilst the wrecks are not yet up to speed. Had some amazing days and even the slower days have seen us boating around a dozen keepable flatties each trip.
Latter part of the season has seen an abundance of cuttle snaffling baits before the flatties can get to them - the upside of that is a discovery that cuttle seared in pepper & chilli is quite special!
Water temps remain very high which is holding the summer species so I expect we will continue on the Turbot/Brill/Bass trips for the next few weeks at least.
Big rays are becoming more frequent with Big Blondes really testing the 12-20lb class gear and we are averaging 9 species of fish per trip so plenty to keep us guessing what’s putting the bend in the rods.
This month is full, opened up some new dates for 1st week of November so if you would like to get out drop me a line.
Best wishes

Well - we left early, came back late, moved around the banks and put in the miles but it was not a great day by our standards. Just four Turbot landed in very trying conditions - Fishing a Spring tide, on the flood with a building Westerly was always going to be tough. On the upside; a cracking Tub Gurnard taken by Frank, more monster Mackerel, some beautiful Turbot and great company who I look forward to welcoming back in a couple of weeks for an improved outcome - you guys were great!
