    8 May 2024 by Steve Green

    Report on-board Brigand

    Bream session again yesterday. Slow fishing to start but a little tweak to our approach resulted in an immediate and very positive outcome! Lost count of fish but there were plenty of Bream, a few hounds, eels & of course the obligatory Dogfish!
    Great to catch-up with some old friends and to welcome so new ones aboard.
    A beautiful day out there made all the better by the wonderful company. Not the most challenging of days fishing, those lay ahead when we start the serious Offhsore trips in the coming weeks venturing out to some of our favourite areas.... always an exciting time of the year!

    Due to a cancelled dive trip we have whole boat available this Sunday for either 8hr or 4hr trips.
    Best wishes

  • 29/04/2024 Fishing Report by Steve Green on Brigand (Brighton, East Sussex)

    29 Apr 2024 by Steve Green

    Report on-board Brigand

    2 day fishing report for this week, both challenging days on the weather front!

    Monday - we welcomed Clint and his fabulous crew from Essex aboard for a spot of wrecking. We have had some fantastic wrecking trips this year filling the boxes with high quality fish .... it wasn't like that on Monday! With a stiff Northerly looking like it was fading throughout the day we pushed out pretty far to a group of wrecks where we have had excellent fishing the last few trips ....and we struggled. Worked a number of wrecks before heading down the coast with just a few fish onboard. Clint & co. Toiled away and as the sea calmed we finally hit a wreck with a good head of fish and were in business.
    A below par day on the fish front, a wonderful day on the crew front. Sorry you guys had to work away all day and that you didn't get the bounty that previous trips have had, hope you all got back safely and look forward to seeing you in the Summer.

    Today - it was time to have a proper go at the Bream and we had just the people to do that! Again a challenging day for shallow water fishing with light gear with a stiffer than anticipated SW wind. Tough getting the anchor to hold with the bow bucking around on the flood but when it hooked up (12x scope out!) we settled down the guys were into good fish from the off..... what a relief! That remained the case for the whole of the tide but when the ebb kicked in it was always going to be a challenge holding the boat into the wind. Short drifting individual marks meant we continued to land fish right up until the end of the day with a respectable tally of 87.
    Again, a fantastic crew today who never lost focus and fished extremely well in difficult conditions - well done all ����.

    Long range forecast looks like we finally have a settled period heading our way - what a treat that will be after what feels like a relentless bashing!

    Best wishes

    20 Mar 2024 by Simon Logan

    Report on-board Deep Blue

    Wednesday 20th March:

    Day 2 of the Hampshire Police social ��‍♂️.

    We headed out to the sandbanks in the shipping lanes this morning.
    The conditions were perfect for it, and it gave the crews on Deep Blue, and Manx Belle a different prospect from yesterday’s inshore trip.
    Now, the fabled Turbot & Brill would’ve been a more than welcomed sight, but alas it wasn’t to be. It’s probably still a little bit early for them, but I’ll be keeping my ear to the ground and heading back there to coral some of them into my crews hooks later this spring.
    Every whiting in the channel seemed to be on the banks this morning. Every now and then we’d see a greater weaver, or and tub/red gurnard, but the whiting were thick. Lots and lots of birds working the water near us, but not obvious why.

    We headed back in to have a look at some wrecks. The water was very clean, with excellent visibility, better than I’ve seen it in a long while. Lots of fish hugging the back end of the first wreck, with a few pollack coming up quick as a flash.
    Onto the reefs for slack water saw more fish marking, and again a few pollack for our troubles.
    Fishing the last half hour of the day back on the sand where we started yesterday saw plaice, dabs a flounder. There seems to be a good number of plaice this year, which is a vast improvement on the last few years.
    A dozen or so species to the boat today, on what was a flat calm, and pretty warm in the sun, trip.
    Thanks to John on the Manx Belle for buddying up with me to provide the 16 chaps guiding for their 2 day jolly.
    We had Sea Angler magazine onboard today too, so there may well be a little write up in an upcoming issue - cheers Tim.
    Last but not least, a big thank you to Shaun Gratton for coming along to assist, and for trying to give me diabetes with all the sweeties ������.

    Species:
    Dabs
    Plaice
    Goldsinney Wrasse
    Pollack
    Flounder
    Greater weaver
    Red gurnard
    Tub gurnard

  • 21/03/2024 Fishing Report by Simon Logan on Deep Blue (Eastbourne, East Sussex)

    21 Mar 2024 by Simon Logan

    Report on-board Deep Blue

    Thursday 21st March:

    First COD(ling) of the year. Our last cod was on the 2nd December, so 3 months and 3 weeks without a rod and line caught cod - and I’m SO GLAD we found this one.
    Leaving the harbour and straight onto my new favourite plaice grounds, we got into a good stamp of fish straight away. This was short lived with the tide coming to the end of its flood, so we blitzed out onto the reefs for slack for wrasse, and ready to fish the start of the ebb.
    Ballan and Cuckoo wrasse found. Still small tides currently, but they are building in size. The clarity is still improving, with 6m visibility at least at 4miles out.

    Moving onto a mark that we fish a lot for multi species over spring and summer, codling and numerous pollack landed on a mixture of lures, including my usual go to Bass lure - the 6” pearl Sidewinder sandeel. More wrasse here too, as well as a small Coalfish - that’s 2 coleys in as many days. Nothing to shout about for some, quite a feat for us this end of the channel.

    Back onto the plaice mark as the tide eased and the wind picked up. Wind against tide pinning us to the spot for about an hour, a few fish caught.

    We had a very good year with cod last year, even though no fish managed to break the magic proper COD threshold of 10lb, which make them codling to me, we still had a lot of them from March - December. According to some commercial friends, this winter has produced a good number of them, but they have been moving around a lot.
    Hopefully this year is as good, if not better than last for this species. Given the number of pollack we’re seeing inshore, the commercial ban along the SW may allow Eastbourne to have a better year than usual on them too. Still no bass, but I can feel it in me bones that they aren’t far away, and you can trust we’ll be right at the front of the queue for them when they do finally arrive.

    Don’t let the number of fish fool you. Today was a struggle. It was pretty lumpy out there, certainly not for the feint hearted, and conditions that would make me cancel 99% of my charter trips. But, the crews on the boats today were made up of very well seasoned species hunters, that have seen it, and been in it all.
    No two days are ever the same. Yesterday was flat calm but overcast, with a small crew with differing abilities catching some decent fish. Today, the fish switched off at lunch time and that was that.
    Not many photos of actual fish today. I’m always far too busy scoring and netting fish on these trips, and the anglers just want to get back on with fishing.
    Good fun as always, but the fishing was tough.
    Also worth noting, only myself and the Manx Belle were brave (stupid) enough to go out in these conditions. This kind of weather is no place for small recreational boats and amateur anglers.
    The photos and videos don’t show the true scale of the big rolling waves and howling winds that were swirling around us.
