Boat and Skipper Details
We have recently purchased a blyth 33 catamaran powered by two 8.2litre doosan engines capable of cruising 16-18knts with a flat out speed over 23knts. the blyth catamaran is a fast modern boat comfortable both at anchor and under steam. She has some indoor seating a toilet accessible at deck level and spray cover to keep you drier and more comfortable. we have a live well on deck and seating for more than 10 people on deck.
with a beam of 5 meters there is loads of deck room even with 10 anglers on board.
WE ARE AVAILABLE TO TAKE BOOKINGS 7 DAYS A WEEKS 12 MONTHS OF THE YEAR
most trips run from 6.30-7.30am untill 16.30-17.30 at night although if you book the boat we can arrange times around you. we also offer night trips from 17.30-12.30am at night and evening trips in the river from 17.30-21.30 in the estuary. these are available upon request and we can arrange trips to suit your requirements.
we have hire tackle available with penn fixed spool reels at £10 per rod per day.

I have fished since I could hold a rod and grew up aboard my dads charter boats in the 90's. as I got older I took my Orkney longliner out and my dads boats when I got the chance. I am obsessed with fishing I have no other real hobbies and just about any free time I have is devoted to fishing related activities. This may sound abit sad but as I enjoy all kinds of fishing I have little time for anything else. My real passion is for sea angling but if I had more time I would like to spend a little more time fresh water fishing aswell.the first 'galloper' was bought by myself and my dad back in 2007.she was a brinkliner 28 and kept me busy for a couple of years. My wife stacey and i bought the second 'Galloper' back in march 2009 she was an aquastar 33 and we ran her untill 2013 when we bought our evolution 33 also named 'galloper' and the evolution did very well over the next six and a half years.
early in 2019 we bought a blyth 33 and spent 10 months completely overhauling her to bring her up to the standard we like to give our customers. the bltyh catamaran is a vary stable and spacios platform which is very popular with the anglers for her speed, room and stability.
i look forward to many good trips aboard her over the coming years. Although I'm only in my 30'sI have plenty of experience as a skipper as before all of this i was running my dads boats since I got my Yachtmasters Offshore licence when I was 17. before that I was taking his boat out with my grandad or brothers or friends whenever I could. I like to think that all of this along with many holidays spent fishing other venues has helped to give me a large amount of experience and knowledge for my age.

Excellent Skipper went with two non fisherman friends and he could not do enough to help them, which let me get on with my fishing. Mind you think I should have got some help as they caught more than me.
Skippers Reponse: i'm glad you enjoyed your day Greg. thank you for taking the time to review your experience. best leave the others behind next time!!

Fishing Report by Scott Belbin
29 Apr 2024 by Scott Belbin
It looks like we might escape this run of unseasonably cold, wet and windy weather by the end of the week.
Thankfully despite the cold and the algae bloom we have continued to find some great fishing. There have been some decent sized rays and hounds showing between the smaller ones as well and bass, dogfish, whiting and dabs ect. Everyone has been kept busy and relatively comfortable due to Galloper being a catamaran. Some of the hounds have been nice chunky females and as this weather warms up they should start to show in big numbers.
I have spaces on general trips from Friday to Monday over the bank holiday and availability for full boat bookings in the coming weeks too. Please call 07956411528 for more information -

For a change to the recent pictures of hounds, bass and rays I thought I would put some flatfish on from our recent trips. We had a nice few hours drifting for plaice the other day with good numbers of plaice and dabs. We did a few drifts over the course of 2-3hrs and with plenty of double shots and a conservative estimate of 50 odd for the boat. Andy had 13 plaice and I know the other lads were on similar numbers. I also thought I'd include Steve's bonus turbot from the next trip too. Which was a lovely fish and he chose to release too. I've heard of a few turbot showing so I might put a trip together for them soon. I will definitely be doing more trips for plaice and bass so please get in touch if you want to join us.

There have been a few bass and some better hounds showing along with the smaller fish over the last week. No huge bass but more hounds around the double figures are starting to show. Yes Barry has been catching a few again as have the others like Dave, Stephen, leon and Matt. Both of these will be our main target for our general trips for the next few weeks and I have availability if you want to join us for a general trip or even offshore trip.

It was lovely seeing the Elliston family for their first trip of the year. We had a short evening trip and caught loads of fish. Of course dogfish made up most of the catch along with 6 thornback rays and a few small hounds. I have availability for 4 hour trips and full day trips over the coming weeks so please get in touch for more information.

Steve had a nice mixed bag aboard Galloper the other day. Hounds, roker and bass not to mention the occasional dogfish as well! He was really hoping for that bass and was relieved when this one hit the net after loosing one on the previous cast! There's certainly plenty of life out there at the moment and things look promising for the summer ahead.
