Another long day at Sea for us today targeting Bass & Flatties with Dave and his regular crew of fabulous guys- always look forward to catching-up with these chaps.
We have been doing really well on the Bass of late so offered them the chance to do both Bass and Flatties in the same trip. There is a risk that when you take on multiple species on the same trip that you may end up doing both badly and it is often better to focus on just the one…….. but they didn’t have that problem!
Bass fishing was slightly slower than previous trips but still plenty of excellent fishing and the job was done with time to spare and a couple of decent Tub Gurnard as a bonus.
Plenty of big mackerel around so we nabbed a few of them before setting our sights on the flatties. Deano couldn’t put a foot wrong boating Brill & Turbot including a clonker right at the end.
Another glorious day to be far out on the Ocean, a few sunburned faces and plenty of smiles all around.
Thank you Dave & Co for a wonderful day and well done on your fine multi-species haul����
Very few places left for this year I’m afraid but there are a couple of spots available if you would like to experience a fishing day like this drop us a line��
Best wishes

Well what a day! Headed out on one of our long distance trips today to an area we usually fish on our French trips and which has never failed to throw up excellent fish when conditions permit - today’s crew hit the Bass Jackpot! I’ve never seen so many, good quality fish in such high numbers. At times the chaps were pulling up strings of 6lb Bass on feathers 3 at a time, and they were the smaller ones………..it was absolutely insane fishing!
Great company, great fishing and now I’m in need of some sleep!
Best wishes

Report on-board Brigand
After the last 3 days boating Bass, Cod and Pollock on the offshore wrecks today was a far more relaxed affair! Target was inshore Bream and as this was our first go at these this year there was a hint of trepidation - would we find them in the numbers and the sizes we wanted? Well that was soon answered and a really fun filled, non-stop, fishy day saw us boating around 150 Bream, a dozen or so Plaice and few beautiful wrasse. We always observe our local IFCA recommendations on sizes and really pleased to see this year not just minimum take sizes but also maximum sizes recommended. These bigger fish have avoided predation, disease and (until this point !) capture; the DNA of these fish allied to the fact the egg production of larger females grows exponentially is a very important factor when considering fishery conservation.
Great weather, great fish, great company so a wonderful day all around and I finally had an opportunity to have a proper fish and ended up in a head to head contest with Mark Pantony who between catching Plaice and Wrasse boated a pb tally of 28 Bream - do correct me if I’m wrong Mark! It was hilarious banter, great competition and most of all wonderful to see an angler who through sheer grit and determination had developed both offshore and inshore angling techniques to that level..... I smell a fishy Rob Robin Howard��
A very chilled day and great to catch up with out friends who fish regularly and to meet a few new ones who I hope we see again, a real pleasure sharing time with you all today and Mrs Brigand is extremely pleased to have a few Bream in the fridge!
We do not have any full boat availability for this year but do have limited individual places for Cod, Bass, Pollock, Turbot, Bream & Tope so if you would like to join us availability can be viewed here www.brigandcharters.com
No photo’s today I’m afraid - I was too busy trying to keep pace with with Mark and his diabolical, underhand tricks (����) - besides, pretty sure you all will know what a Black Bream looks like��

Another fabulous day out in the deeps with a bunch of top chaps. I thought I would steal Paul Coventry report of the day (apologies Paul!), refreshing to have an anglers view of a days fishing with us instead of ours;
Catch report 29/5/21.
It's been a good days fishing. All of our guys caught. First stop was a bass mark then onto a bass wreck. Schoolies Initially but then a better stamp of fish around the 5lb mark saw several keepers. On again and we were into pollack. Again some smaller ones that were still mostly keepers but Ian Hamilton latched into and boated a 10lb plus fish , 10-4 rings a bell, only to be outdone by Andrew Kennedy with a 14lb 9oz PB. We then saw a couple of cod come on board....to Ian and Andrew again!
In all I guess around 20 keepers in the ice box and a nice sunny day afloat!
Thanks as always to Steve and Nick at Brigand Brighton .
Well done Andrew on his Pb Pollock and to those who took Bass, Cod & Pollock today - some excellent angling ����

Fantastic to be out on the water again after some pretty poor weather and great to
Welcome back Peter and his crew, always a pleasure sharing time with these guys.
Day started on a little inshore Bass hunt before heading offshore. Bumped into our resident Bass expert and mentioned that we wouldn’t be hanging around as we targeting Cod and couldn’t hang around. Rob picked up a nice Bass around 5lb and off we went. Pretty steady stat with a fish or two a drift and a good mix of Bass & Pollock, slack water and things slowed which signalled the time to move to the Cod wrecks. Some
beautiful prime Spring Cod boated and the odd Pollock as the tide built before heading home...... its great to be back at it��

Report on-board Brighton Lure Boat
Saturday
The forecast was for good weather and a Birthday Boy (Jay) on board and regulars Malc and John, the plan in place was completely thrown in file 13 (bin), Slow Pitch Jigging being the way we’re going to fish.
We proceed to an area where I’ve been successful in previous visits, not a sniff, so we moved on to the next area in search of Silvers, and found in abundance the tide running at around .7-8 of a knot we had a good chance, Slow Pitch Jigging being the order of the day, and it worked big time.
The first drop down we had all rods into a fish, Jay was over the moon with his first boat caught bass, followed by John and Malc quickly followed by the skipper.
The next 90 minutes was pretty frenetic, with over 25 fish boated, biggest was 7lb 9oz which was returned and with numerous drop-offs in the process, everyone on board managed the 2 bag limit, with 2 fish in excess of 4lb plus, some great fishing, was had and the move onwards was decided for us, the weather crept on us and decided to change for the worst, the tide running at 2plus knots time to move horrible raindrops not pleasant situation for anyone.
We moved inshore for some fun on the next target species was Mackerel and Herring, we managed just one of those Mackerel not many but enough for the Barbie.
All in all the persuasion to go deeper paid dividends and a great 4 plus hours was well worth the effort. View Boats Page

Report on-board Brighton Lure Boat
At last a real weather window and well worth waiting for, The Brighton Lure Boat has had busy two days, with some fine catches.
Friday’s Session
We had the pleasure of Chris/Robin & Bruno,
the weather was not at its greatest to start with a crosswind tide, which was difficult to manage to start with, the plan was to have a mixed day ie, target species was 5, we managed 7, 3 first time fish on board, and the main target not a sniff of a silver( Bass).
The firsts first, 2 Dabs, Herrings, and a Grey Gurnard, along with Plaice, Tub Gurnard, Mackerel and few Tings are thrown into the mixed session, the top rod was Bruno, followed by Chris, but robin had the best fish of the day went to Robin, with 2lb 5oz Plaice, a great day with more banter than the comedians could throw at a stag do!!
