Fishing Report by Steve Green
on Brigand (Brighton, East Sussex)
19 Sep 2025 by Steve Green
Report on-board Brigand
Checked the log book on the boat before heading out this morning , last trip...... 19th August!
Arrived back from our annual Norwegian pilgrimage at the end of August hoping to get into some Tuna fishing out of Brighton and build upon last years success but unfortunately weather has put a halt to that. We will be getting into them as soon as conditions permit so standby!
On to today's trip - hit the Offhsore banks looking for Flatties; we have had days where we have boated 40+ this year and days where it has been a real slog to get just a few small ones onbaord, today had all the hallmarks of being one of the poorer days so we decided to sack it early whilst we still had time to get Plan B going which Bass & Squid - and all was well.
A beautiful day with a fantastic crew of high quality individuals made the day fly by. Great to see those lovely Offhsore Squid come aboard along with as many Cuttle as you want so our Offhsore Squid trips have now started ��
Thanks all for a wonderful day and hope you enjoy your Bass, Squid & Greater Weaver (if you know you know) - a pleasure sharing the day with you all.
Best wishes

Report on-board Galloper
We might be chasing tuna currently but it won't be long before we are back in Essex chasing those autumn bass. The first couple of months of our offshore bass season were prolific and this bodes well for the autumn run when the bass are feeding hard. We will be targeting bass offshore on most tides throughout October and November and even early December. On a range of methods from lures and lives on the drift to worms at anchor depending on conditions.
We have availability for general trips too.

Fishing Report by Andy Savage
on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
Today we had a group of three lads book the boat for the day. Dave Coote, his brother Pat and Dave’s son Martin. Dave asked me if I could provide them any entertainment, so I duly invited the court jester Ian Kellock along!! Only joking Ian ��
With it still being neap tides (a 4.5m), we planned to spend the majority of the day on a few wrecks. We gathered up plenty of fresh Mackerel to accompany the squid; although the average size was much smaller today. The massive tonkers we were getting appear to have thinned out a bit.
We had three hours of Ebb tide left and with South Westerly winds it wasn’t ideal. The first wreck we fished, Ian managed three Ling around 6lb on a Mackerel baited muppet trace. The other lads were struggling a bit as the drift was well over one knot. We tried another wreck, but just got hammered by Pouting or got stuck. I chose to drop tight inside and spend an hour on some rough ground until the tide eased a bit. Everyone swapped over to Hokkai’s or Shads and whilst the fish weren’t jumping aboard, we did find half a dozen Codling in amongst a tidal wave of Pouting.
It wasn’t long before the wind dropped away a bit, so we headed back to the wrecks; where we spent the rest of the day. We fished another four wrecks for the day. The sport wasn’t amazing, but we picked up Ling on each wreck. Just after the Flood kicked in, Pat hooked into what looked like a decent fish, but then his line went fairly slack. He carried on winding and came back into contact. I should have sussed it, as the next thing we saw was a lovely Tope coming out of the gloom. We netted the fish, took a couple of pictures and sent her on her way. Weight wise it looked in 35-40lb bracket and a first Tope for Pat.
Top rod of the day was Martin who caught fairly consistently throughout ending with a nice box of fish. Ian also helped himself to a good few and then very kindly filleted the catch in the rain on the run back home.
All in all a thoroughly enjoyable day in great company. Thanks lads. Hopefully see you again soon. View Boats Page
