  • 11/2023 Fishing Report by Iain Barron on Brighton Lure Boat (Brighton, East Sussex)

    Nov 2023 by Iain Barron

    Report on-board Brighton Lure Boat

    Quick review of 0f 2023,

    Well to say the least the weather gods were not with us last spring and summer, but the times we did get out, they were good, we had great caches of targeted species, Pollock and Bass, and Codling, along with Red/Tub Gunard, Wrasse, and 4 other species.

    The best fish of the year for Pollock around 10lb, along with 5 other 8 sizeable pollock on the same trip.

    The best bass of the year fell to Martin 7lb 9oz on mid surface lure over rock terrain.

    we had lots of new crews which were some of the enjoyable moments with smiles lighting up the dull skys with there first ever catches, and our regualr crews who along with loads banter had great days out.

    as we look forward to next spring summer , we are doing 6 hour trips during the week in March and April for combined target fish of Bass and Pollock, or anything else that fancies a munch on rubber or metal lures.

    family groups are always welcomed on board, so if you have an Xbox fanatic , get them to have break and book a trip out with us,

    Lastly,
    Thank you to everyone who booked with us and for your understanding in which was a very strange year weather wise. We look forward to welcoming everyone on board in 2024.

  • 02/2024 Fishing Report by Mark Peters on DAWN TIDE II (Wallasea Island, Essex)

    Feb 2024 by Mark Peters

    Report on-board DAWN TIDE II

    Recent report

    Personally i found the Fishing i the area on the slow side since the bass thinned out in November

    I have Been out several times over the last few weeks No big numbers of Codling showing yet just the odd one but don’t rule the Codling out just yet they may move inn the closer we move to spring!

    We have had some size rays recently not loads of fish but reasonable ones. The numbers of rays should really start to increase as we move forward from this point.

    We Had a few small schoolie bass on the last couple of trips locally but remember its catch a release until 31st march then 2 per angler over 42cm.
    The bass fishing should be in full swing once it opens! they haven’t really moved too far this winter so I suspect a early start to the season if it stays mild.

    The hounds should start showing locally in march as always & them spurdogs may show offshore around that time too hopefully the spurs move closer inn during April & may like previous seasons.

    Basically from now onwards the fishing is going to start picking up with general mixed trips planned along with cod trips, ray trips, hound trips, spurdog trips, & Bass trips all In the diary from now too the end of spring. Then its onto the summer fishing!!!

    Looking forward to the season ahead
    My diary is looking very busy march onwards

  • 01/2024 Fishing Report by Matt Forrester on Silver Halo (Torquay, Devon)

    Jan 2024 by Matt Forrester

    Report on-board Silver Halo

    I've not run any public charters since December 2023 and will start again properly in March 2024 but I have got out with friends and family several times in Jan 2024 and the fishing has been good with pollock to 15lb and bass to over 8lb being caught in just a few trips on the best weather days.
    There are NO NETS ON THE WRECKS so it's looking like we could have a decent season with some bigger fish being caught!
    Whilst I've been less busy onboard with helping clients etc I've been able to fish myself and get some great use out of my new JOKER jigs and lures. I've also created several videos and there up on my new utube channel so please take a look. There's some good fish and plenty of tips on Slow Pitch Jigging.
    I look forward to seeing you soon!
    Thanks Matt

    Report on-board Piscary

    Got out this week for the February round of the Piscary Super League.Once again it was 2 very different days.On Thursday we had 8 species on the boat. Absolutely stunning weather but a biggish tide so we spent the morning inshore where we had an unbelievable amount of Whiting with the odd Dog and Blonde Ray.As soon as it was possible with the tide we headed off to a new mark offshore which I've been wanting to try and although it was a bit snaggy the Congers Spurdogs,Tope and Bullhuss were queuing up to be caught
    1st in the day was Ray Barron with 196 points
    2nd Steve Harder 143
    3rd Matt Pitter 129
    Unfortunately on the Friday the condition were not so favourable so we stayed inshore less fish but more species 10 in total once again lots and lots of Whiting 3 species of Ray, Tub Gurnard,Conger,Turbot and Brill!
    1st on the day was Richard Dicky Day with 103 points
    2nd Gary Young 89
    2nd Mike Fox 89
    4th Paul Hollyoake 86
    Looking at the current forcast I'm not planning on doing any trips in the next fortnight if anything changes I'll post on here.

  • 03/02/2024 Fishing Report by Andy Savage on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    3 Feb 2024 by Andy Savage

    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    We finally got a break in the weather today which allowed us to have a run out.

    The original plan was to run off to some distant wrecks, but the wind was too fresh for that, so we would spend the day Uptiding. I gave the lads booked on the option of coming or not (as some don’t like Uptiding) and 6 of the 9 dropped out. I found another three lads who love their Uptiding, giving six plus me for a days fishing.

    Using the Flood Tide we ran south a few miles to start off. First time angler Brad was off the mark almost immediately, which is usually the way; giving him bragging rights over his mates Aaron and Andy! There were a mix of fish caught over the next hour. Some Codling, plus Whiting, Pouting an odd Doggie and a rogue Lobster for Brian Milne. We had a short move when the bites slowed up and picked away again until we started to lose the tide.

    As the boat began to swing on the anchor, we ran a couple of miles further south to get the first sniff of the Ebb Tide. Unfortunately the wind lifted and we spent a frustrating hour swinging about with the wind against tide…..we needed a change.

    Running back towards Whitby we stopped at an area where I knew there would be a good bit of tide and pleasingly managed to get the boat back on the anchor against the wind, holding steady.
    That turned out to be the last move of the day as the bites kept on coming. We had a good selection of baits including Squid, Black Lugworm, Crab Cart, Mackerel, Razor Clams. Squid and Blacks and Mackerel were the best today.

    Whilst we didn’t have a massive average stamp of Codling, I was so pleased when Dave Fowls, who travelled up last minute from Shropshire landed the biggest fish of the day; a lovely Cod of 9lb 12oz. Squid and Blacks doing the business for him.

    It was a lovely day out spent in great company. The weather was cracking and the company matched it. Thanks lads, really appreciate the support
