Report on-board DAWN TIDE II
Hi guys
Well the exceptional bassing continues through August the lures & baits both working well with a mixed stamp of fish different each day local & offshore!
Lately there been a fair amount of fish coming over the rail around the 60-65cm with many anglers hitting there new PB twice in one trip!
The main focus for us now will be bass as the nights draw in & we start to venture further offshore.
As many of you know this signals the start of some of the best bassing you will ever experience just look back at my previous aug, sept, oct, nov reports its unreal
Along side the bass fishing we have seen plenty of hounds when we have bait fished along with the odd stingray, skate & tope.
But really & truly now we will be pushing further off now as much as the forcast allows until the season ends
Next availability is end oct start nov i just updated the calendar but keep An eye out for cancellations you never know it dose happen
Also next years diary is open & already filling
Thanks everyone
See you all soon

We had a lovely group out the other day, a mixed bag of regulars and beginners with some lovely weather too. I think the likes of Alex and Steve enjoyed a change from being offshore too. There were some decent fish showing amongst them with a few around the double figure mark. Martin even snuck a tub gurnard out as a little bonus.
We should have a nice run on the hounds again over the next few weeks before the majority leave the inshore grounds.
The bass will hang around offshore until December though.
I have limited availability before I head to Cornwall for the tuna and plenty of availablity for the autumn bass and more when I return.

We had a break from the bass fishing offshore the other day. After seeing quite a lot over the past few weeks some of us might have overdosed on bass.
We planned a run off to 'the land of no fish ' where we can catch anything and everything.
To be honest it was a bit nautical out there but the forecast was to decrease.
Considering the conditions we we comfortable and able to fish nicely.
Mackerel are normally abundant off there but I reckon the weather had broken them up a bit. Thankfully we found enough for bait and a few jumbos for dinner too.
The bottom fishing could have been better to start with. We had some gurnards throughout the day. Mostly tubs but a decent red gurnard for Stanley too.
The lads were very pleased to see several dogfish though as I think they have been missing them lately!
Over slack we tried a different mark and had pouting, scad, mackerel and whiting. The conditions weren't really ideal for here though as the drift was too fast.
Once the tide was back underway we decided to go a little further to another area for a few drifts. With the turn of the tide came the sunshine and the wind dropped away.
We had a few lovely drifts on this mark catching lots of greater weaver fish, gurnard, mackerel and more including a cuttlefish for Kevin. We didn't get the turbot we hoped for but everything felt right. We were tempted to put another drift in but instead decided to head home and stop for bass on the way. The wreck we stopped on was alive with them and in two short drifts we had our quota to end a lovely day.
I'm hoping to head off there again soon. This is a great place for different species and although things like the greater weaver are common there anything is possible. We've had all sorts over the years.
If you want to join us for a trip like this, general trip, offshore bass from brightlingsea or even tuna fishing from Falmouth please get in touch.

We've still been seeing some cracking bass offshore recently. These two came on worm baits but we had some on lures too. Fish ranging from undersized to these lovely fish on this trip and a few other bits and bobs too including hounds. The tides are building nicely again now and I look forward to finding more bass, hounds and more over the coming weeks.
Next spaces are tomorrow then I have nothing available for a few days

A fighting chair and 4 x 130lb class chair outfits

As well as Popping and spinning gear
