Report on-board Brigand
A 2 day catch report
Saturday - having hauled in plenty of decent Bream down West Friday with novice anglers we headed back again Saturday with very experienced anglers and plenty of the right bait to give it a good working over ….and with high expectations; they were quickly shattered! A couple of average Bream in as many hours so with little prospect of it improving we upped anchor and blasted out deep for some wrecking (which has been excellent). Caught the back end of the flood, slack, start of ebb so not ideal and the results were the same - A few small Pollock for a whole lot of effort/miles. A fantastic crew, a beautiful day the only thing missing was decent fish. Such a strange day, very rare for us but scant consolation for those onboard for the day and so sorry that you had to experience that.
Sunday (today) - normal service resumed, well kind of! A dense fog all day offshore (which looked like it was going to burn off but never did) saw us undertake 8hrs of Radar Nav with reduced speed to suit conditions and a significant alteration of our plan for the day. The result was a steady flow of god fish, a few decent doubles amongst them and our first Cod of the season to Tom. Lovely to have Mark and his kids along to experience a days wrecking and to see Kieran battle a fin perfect beast to the boat.
A fabulous couple of days with lovely people. The next week looks like a washout so plenty of time to try and figure out what Saturday was all about; such a strange day.
Thanks to all for your company and look forward to fishing with you later in year.
Best wishes

Fishing Report by Simon Logan
on Deep Blue (Eastbourne, East Sussex)

Report on-board Deep Blue
Well that’s a wrap!!!
The impending foul weather brings the Easter Bank holiday weekend’s fishing to an abrupt close. It’s been a great weekend to be fair, and getting out for 3/4 of the time is pretty lucky going off tales from years gone by.
Today, Easter Sunday saw a family group book the boat for a mixed fishing day. Only the grandad had ever properly fished before, and that was only on lakes in Moldova, so being single handed I thought I could be in for a busy day. I was.
The day started off slowly, which came as a massive shock considering the marks my sounder was picking up.
The seabed was literally undulating with fish in pockets. Using a mixture of rigs/lures, and with massively differing techniques, my crew of newbies just couldn’t tempt the fish to bite.
When the first fish finally succumbed to a hook if fell to six year old Sebastian. He was so chuffed with his prize, as you can see, and that is what it’s all about.
We started picking up more fish, all of which were under sized. We headed to another mark to drift some different rocks and broken ground (at Sebastian’s request), but after everyone got tangled, and snagged, on the first drift, I suggested that maybe going back to plan A would be wise.
As their experience grew, more and more fish were caught. Considering today was Deep Blue’s first Bass of the season day, and the gazillion tangles, and lost lures, and weights, it was a pretty good da with a group I’m certain will return.
��All the crew were using our newly serviced and fantastic Penn Fathom and Squall reels, and the full carbon Penn Prevail 2 rods.
4” & 6” Sidewinder skerries and sandeels in blues and whites doing the damage.�� View Boats Page

on Deep Blue (Eastbourne, East Sussex)

Report on-board Deep Blue
A tale of two halves.
We had a lovely family onboard today who were over on their holidays visiting a family member.
The morning conditions were fantastic. Flat calm and no wind. The wind picked up after lunch and things got a bit choppy.
Morning, fishing the flood at anchor. Big baits, small baits, with a mixture of squid, mackerel and frozen lug (curse those short tides). It was a struggle. Our baits were getting nibbles, but no firm bites.
Afternoon, fishing the slack and ebb on the drift. It couldn’t have been more different from the first half of the trip. After bumping into Muscle Fishing 6 miles out in his little Tuffy, he said that they’d had some mackerel. So we hung around and sure enough, a couple of strings within seconds of each other.
A nice codling and a bigger pollack quickly followed. More mackerel, half a dozen more pollack, some gurnard, one of which was a big’un, and a string of scad rounded off our afternoon nicely.
I also snapped one of my PENN Fishing rods ��♂️

A stunning day out on the Ocean again today aboard www.brigandcharters.com
The forecast F5 Easterly was pretty accurate so we hatched a plan to get the best out of the day. A fantastic days wrecking was the result with at least a fish a drift all day and a lovely selection of fin perfect double figure fish in amongst them …….and a fair few lost!
My thanks to the crew for a great day, top angling gentleman and I hope you enjoy your catch������.
Best wishes
