Back out today with a boat full of individuals for a general trip. We stayed in the same area as before although bites were slightly slower today. the weather was once again fantastic and if anything it was calmer today than yesterday with barely a ripple all day. The first roker fell to Elizabeth and…

headed out with a few lads on a premier trip today, the weather was spot on and the tides were nice. We didn’t steam too far before we stopped and got fishing to catch the last of the tide. The first roker was soon aboard and we had a flurry of fish as the tide…

with lots of wind over the weekend I cancelled my trips and tried to push the blyth along this weekend. There was only so much I could do as she was still on the water. The tide went out so far this morning I couldn’t get to the mooring by boat. With a bit of…

the forecast was nice today and so we headed out with 4 lads aboard just to get afloat. We knew fishing had been hard but we just wanted to get afloat. Besides we wouldn’t catch much sitting at home and how will we know if the fishing has picked up if we arnt out there?…

exciting times!
Many of you will know we have been considering investing in a catamaran for several years now and a few weeks ago an opportunity was presented to us when Luke Petis put his blyth 33 up for sale in Weymouth. We viewed her before Christmas and finalised the purchase the other day after viewing…

Although both days were full this weekend I text all of the lads regarding the way the forecast and the fishing looked. We ended up with just the 4 lads out today as I was keen to get afloat and they are all mad. The weather wasn’t too bad for where we were, it was…

Today was very hard work to say the least. I had 6 individuals aboard on hire rods and the weather was lovely. We got away and had a pleasant steam down to our chosen mark. I got the lads cast out and there were a few small bites before one of the lads had a…

I cancelled todays trip due to the wind and lack of incentive for the lads. it was bitterly cold and breezy as I arrived at the lake for a days pike fishing. I set up a feeder rod too today and had plenty of roach and rudd to start with but the first bites on…

With a fair breeze today I headed off pike fishing with dad and my brother lee. We arrived at dawn and the lake was busy today with several lads having fished the night for carp. Lee and dad jumped in our more favoured swims while I went around the corner to a swim that had…

Had the first trip of the year aboard the ‘galloper’ today. it was a premier trip with 6 of the regulars aboard. The weather wasn’t perfect but it was good enough as we headed out. our first couple of marks proved largely unproductive other than a couple of dogfish and whiting. We moved just after…
2018 round up
2018 was a busy year aboard the ‘Galloper’ it marked a decade of me running my own charter boat and to be honest I wasn’t a bad year to start the next decade on. The start of the year was promising with a few more codling about than we had seen over the last couple…

With some reasonable weather and a rare bit of spare time on our hands dad and myself headed out at silly o’clock this morning in pursuit of a new species for both of us. Living in essex has many advantages but it is a bit lacking in chalk streams. That somewhat limits what the local…
