Report on-board Braveheart II
As i predicted the last set of spring tides pushed the big female smoothounds in and we've had some big lumps aboard BRAVEHEARTII This last week or so with the best fish going to Dave Potter..a colossal 22lb which smashed his pb by a country mile ... and it wasn't even in pup!!! Which would easily add another 3-4lbs it was huge but unfortunately I never pressed the screen on my phone properly so no video was recorded, which we didn't discover until we had released it unharmed.....I was gutted. Fortunately one of the other angler's got a couple of snaps on his phone, but they really didn't do it justice. There are bigger ones down there and it's my mission to break the British record as it has come from this area in the past.... its where the monsters live.
If you fancy a day targeting these powerful fish, check my availability calendar and get booking..... HIRE TACKLE AVAILABLE.
many thanks & tight lines

Report on-board Galloper
We've been catching some lovely bass in between the hounds and rays ect lately. Both bait and lures are working depending on the conditions. We are mixing in some lure fishing for now but will be doing far more from next month onwards as we concentrate on our offshore bass fishing.
For now the general trips are producing plenty with numbers varying day to day.
The hounds have stepped up a gear over the last couple of weeks and I am looking forward to getting amongst them again as soon as possible.
We are fortunate enough to have lots of sheltered marks for these fish and looking at the current forecast we will be taking advantage of them this weekend!
I have a space remaining this Saturday and the boat available Sunday for groups and individuals.

Fishing Report by Nick Gough
on Skylark (Scarborough, North Yorkshire)

Report on-board Skylark
Another great 8 hour trip today
Fishing started off slow for the first few drifts then slowly picked up as the day went on.
A good stamp of clean cod caught today
With a few ling, Pollock, pouting, a Ballen wrasse, mackerel and even a lonely haddock.
Everybody caught a cod to keep which seams to be the norm this week and all the anglers had plenty of fillets to take home
One of our regulars Lorance seemed to be on fire today catching nearly every drift and ended up with a nice tub a Cod.
Dirty squid baited hooks seemed to be the preferred method today.
Shads we're working today but we're catching the odd ling and getting ripped to shreds in the process. View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Scott Belbin
on Galloper (Brightlingsea, Essex)

Report on-board Galloper
I thought it was probably about time to put out my annual spurdog report. As many of my regulars know by now, I like to keep some of this stuff under my hat for various reasons.
In reality at times it would be better to put these up as we're catching them but It's not going to happen so if you want to join us you'll have to get booked in and take your chance with the rest of them next year.
Our season started better than last year but after that it was hard to get enough trips in to have a good look around offshore and locate these fish. There's no other boat in the area willing to put in the time, effort and miles that we do so it can be hard to locate them at times. Eventually the mother load of fish turned up (along with everything else). When there's that many fish offshore then a certain amount will overspill to the inshore grounds too occasionally. We had some mixed in inshore as well which is always nice to see.
I noticed lots of other boats happened upon a few too. One or two seemed to dine out on a hand full of fish lucked out over one or two days which was cute.
We had a several hard days and lots of successful days on spurs over the course of 6 months. Dad always said it's harder when targeting one specific species on a trip as you might have a good trip for other stuff and miss the target species which still feels disappointing. However it does feel great when we do find them by design and put the lads on some special fishing.
Our best day was truly remarkable. The weather was perfect and the fishing was chaotic to say the least. The lads were on multiple hook ups throughout most of the day as packs of spurs and hounds came through. There were loads of double figure fish and PBs for most anglers. Admittedly it was hard to keep an accurate tall but we finished with 82 spurs and 54 hounds. We also had 8 rays, loads of dogfish and a few whiting. There were some serious amounts of fish there that day and hopefully it's one we will all remember. Not quite matching our biggest ever day of 88 but getting close.
We had lots of other days with great numbers and double figure fish. On a quieter day I even managed to sneak out a double shot of small ones.
Although we experienced some great fishing I am a bit concerned that the general stamp seems to have dropped significantly and some areas just aren't producing at all. Hopefully it's just a lul and not due to commercial pressure since the reintroduction of commercial quota for spurs. Only time will tell.
For now, with our spur season wrapped up we will be targeting big tope as well as turning our attention to the offshore bass fishing as it improves. I have a few spaces left for tope and loads of availability for bass between now and December. We target them in various areas from shallow banks to deep water. On lures, static baits and live baits. Please get in touch if you fancy in offshore trip or even a general trip.

Back out today for a 8hr trip
Two days are never the same but we did still find a good amount of fish overall.
Winds today were a lot stronger up to 25kts at times from the south not really picking the sea up but definitely increasing the drift speed.
Like every other trip this week everyone caught a few Cod to keep which for quite a few anglers was their first time.
Best anglers today were all the younger anglers who just seemed to find a better size fish every time and made sure they made that known. The friendly banter today was brilliant.
Heaviest fish today was a cod weighing just under 6lb
Plenty of species caught today from Cod, Pollock, ling, whiting, coalfish, ballen wrasse, dogfish, and even a lonely dab.
Overall a brilliant day to be at sea as always View Boats Page
