on Galloper (Brightlingsea, Essex)
9 Jun 2025 by Scott Belbin
Report on-board Galloper
It's been a blustery week aboard Galloper with sunshine and showers but thankfully there's been loads of fish to put smiles on faces.
Hounds have made up the majority of our catches and they have been great sport fish mainly 7-10lb with a few doubles thrown in.
Most trips producing 50-60 or more and causing carnage as a pack comes through.
Aside from the hounds we're catching loads of other stuff, dogfish, whiting, bass, dabs, small tope and more to keep the rods nodding.
Alice enjoyed catching her first smooth-hounds and must have had 20 odd throughout her trip though I'm sure Barney's tuition helped.
There's plenty of fish around at the moment and should be for some time yet. If you want to join us please contact me

The lure fishing for bass continues to be absolutely manic had some really mega days on the lures recently
The Bigger hounds have arrived in fair numbers now lovely stamp of doubles when fished for up in the shallows & close in too
The Mackerel are showing they are still patchy though but they have started atleast
The Tope seem to bd in great numbers this year locally & offshore so lets hope they hang around
My offshore adventures start now im really looking forward to exploring further afield as we had some excellent days last few seasons trying new things can’t sit on the same old local marks for ever!
Also A heads up Our well known Autumn offshore Bass trips are filling up quickly
The bass fishing offshore here on the lures is absolutely out of this world I would recommend booking in advance to avoid missing out
Thanks guys

Report on-board Braveheart II
The Bass catches aboard BRAVEHEARTII continue to provide good sport and fish for the table. Here's Rocky and crew from essex/ London, and although complete novices and using the hire tackle aboard BRAVEHEARTII, managed to land a constant stream of bass through the day. Coaching them throughout the day saw their bite to hook up ratio drastically improve as I'm always happy to provide tuition for those that want to learn.
Great company and weather... the guys really enjoyed themselves and have booked additional trips throughout the rest of the year.
Every day is booked in June and only a few days left in July, so get booking if you want to go fishing.
Families and kids welcome, although check with me personally on age limits.
**Whole boat 6 angler's £390 inc frozen bait***
**additional angler + £60 to cover extra fuel/bait*

on Skylark (Scarborough, North Yorkshire)

Report on-board Skylark
Well what a day.. two 6 hour trips with plenty of fish on both
First 6 hour trip we saw a good mixture of fish from cod, ling, coalfish, red gurnard, haddock, mackerel, whiting, pouting the majority of the catch was a good amount of cod from what you can see in the video.
Heaviest fish wasn't huge but plenty of fish around the 5lb area and best been 7lb at all but the amount certainly made up for that
2nd 6 hour trip was an absolute cod fest
With most of the fish taken on shads .there was also pouting and a few ling caught as well and similar stamp of fish to the first trip View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Andy Savage
on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
7 Jun 2025 by Andy Savage
Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
Today was the first trip of the year for The Keel Inn fishing club from Barnsley. I always look forward to them, they’re a fantastic group of lads who have fished with me since I’ve had Sea Urchin.
Still on the Neap Tides, we planned to get some fresh Mackerel and then try a few wrecks. I had a similar plan to the previous day in my mind…..stick with the wrecks through the Ebb Tide and then be prepared to move to rough ground when the Flood came through.
We got the fresh Mackerel from the same three mile ground as yesterday; but with it being a Saturday, there were more boats knocking about and less choice of wrecks to go at. I opted to try one I hadn’t fished for a couple of weeks; (although I’m confident it has been fished by other anglers), which was a decent size and matched the drift line perfectly. The lads are all very adept wreck anglers, so it was no surprise that they got off to a good start. First drift saw four nice plump Codling come up to the mainly Mackerel baited muppet traces, which set the precedence for the next hour or so. We took a few fish each drift with a nice average size; most being 3-4lb and lovely clean fish.
Once sport slowed, we moved on a couple of times during the rest of the Ebb to keep a fish or two coming up. Slack water wasn’t very good for us today, we caught very little at all and I hoped for better as the new Flood tide pushed through. We had an hour on the wrecks on the new tide, but it wasn’t productive at all. Once we got to drifting at nearly 1 Knot, I took us back to the rough ground that fished well yesterday. Over the next three drifts some small Codling and Ling came up which the lads chucked back.
We had the last hour on a couple of wrecks which gave a few more quality Codling. We didn’t get anything huge today, the boat sweep was drawn with two 5lb 11oz Ling.
That said, everyone got a few and the banter was relentless as always. Thanks lads, great to catch up again. View Boats Page

3 matches on the boat this week. First it was Hampshire police's latest match . Great weather and good tides, so we headed offshore in the morning where we had some lovely big Tope, Bullhuss and Congers in the afternoon came inshore to fish on the banks .Had some Mackerel and Pilchards on the way, then had some Blonde Rays on the bank, finished off in the harbour for some species fishing plenty of Wrasse, loads of Shannys and another Scorpion Fish!

Two Day Report Aboard Sea Urchin
Thursday 5th June.........A lovely day out with the “Driffield Farmers” today, who have fished regularly with me since I’ve had the boat. With a dinky 4.3m Neap Tide we were destined to spend the day wreck hopping unless the wind got up and spoilt things. For the third trip in a row we ran out to some ground at three miles and gathered plenty of fresh Mackerel for bait.
I fancied running south and having a go on some of the plentiful wrecks in the area. With slack water around 0900-0930hrs we had a couple of hours of the Ebb left to fish.
After a short steam, the first wreck produced one solitary Codling in three drifts, which was disappointing; so we pressed on to the next. This was a bit better and we picked off two or three mainly Codling each run over, but nothing sensational. Gary Grantham took the biggest Codling at a smidge over 6lb and a Ling of 8lb. Once the action eased, we just moved on again.
Slack water threw up a few a few strap Ling and tonnes of Pouting, which wasn’t what I’d hoped for. A move to a big wreck for the start of the Flood Tide did the trick for an hour, with some consistent sport. The wind was holding up the boat on the drift now, so the boys got more time to catch. After a slow start, Norman Taylor got in the groove and took a fish or two most drifts; amongst them was the biggest Cod of the day at 9lb 4oz. All the fish fell for standard bait tactics, nobody had a go with the Shads today. Squid and Mackerel cocktails on muppet traces was the go to method.
As the afternoon progressed, the lads fancied a few fresh Mackerel to take home, so we dropped on the three mile ground again and got plenty of sport. Norman and Gary both fish really well today. They’re masters at controlling the tackle and I know that if the fish are feeding, they’ll catch them.
I really enjoyed the day, as always. The fishing wasn’t electric, but everyone got a few fish, which seems to be the way at the moment. Thanks lads.
Friday 6th June
Today was a day of four seasons ……well almost! I had a group of my regular experienced anglers aboard who, were all geared up for a day on the wrecks with it being a 4.4m Neap Tide.
The weather forecast wasn’t looking settled for the whole day, with a front scheduled to push through mid-late morning, but then settling down. With that in mind, I opted to stay fairly close to Whitby and the rough ground, so I had an alternative plan if the wrecks weren’t an option. We started off on the feathers to collect a bit of fresh Mackerel to go with the Squid, then ran south again to a wreck which as far as I knew hadn’t been fished for a week or so. We almost had the wind against the tide which slowed things down nicely.
Pleasingly, the first stop kept us ticking over nicely for an hour, with a few fish every run through. To start with we were inundated with Ling as most lads went down with a bit of fresh Mackerel on. There weren’t any big fish among them, but most were decent eating size. There were a few Codling amongst them and Carl Madin had a plump 5lb fish as the best of the morning.
Sport slowed and we moved on to another wreck; then I could see the snotty weather approaching. Within twenty minutes, the temperature dropped, it had chopped up and the lines were streaming. I thought it futile to stay on the wrecks with streaming lines, so we ran a couple of miles back to some rough ground. We stopped on the ground for the next two hours, right through slack water. The wind kept the boat drifting and although the conditions weren’t easy, the lads fished well and took 8-12 fish most drifts. There were plenty of throwbacks amongst them, but also some beautiful clean Codling. Joe Clough also had a nice 11lb 8oz Ling.
Once the front passed through the wind dropped away and the sun came out, so we spent the rest of the day trying a few more wrecks. With experienced anglers aboard we caught consistently all day and there were plenty for the freezer for those who wanted them.
Conversation and banter was brilliant today and we had a lot of laughs. Brilliant day, thanks lads. View Boats Page
