I thought I would share some of my pictures from the Clacton air show with you this week. It turns out planes move fairly quickly so there are plenty of poorly framed pictures of a plane that had already passed us! also we kept catching fish just as they were flying past so I was…
Year: 2022
August
The weather may have broken at times lately but we have continued to get out amog the fish each day. some days we have had to work harder for the fish than others but still they keep coming aboard. We have seen a few thorn-back rays starting to feed again. These are promising signs for…
August
There may have been rain forecast last week but my tan lines suggest otherwise. As is often the case in this part of the country we avoided the majority of the rain aboard the Galloper and it was factor 50 and Sunglasses not rain coats needed! The fishing continues to be great with numbers of…
August
Another hectic and barmy week has passed already. We have enjoyed a mixture of trips, fishing and anglers and the weather has been consistently hot throughout! Despite a couple of breezy trips we managed to get our last run of offshore bass trips in with lots of fish and no need to cancel. Its times…
August
Things have been very busy lately aboard the Galloper. The fishing and the weather have both been great so it has been full steam ahead with long days offshore. With that in mind I must apologies to all of you who’s calls and texts I’ve missed. It is hard to get back to everybody by…
4hr trips
Our 4 hour trips continue to prove popular at this time of year. With the blackwater estuary on our door step we have had plenty of great fishing to choose from over the last few weeks on them. The schoolie bass that we often expect were a little late this year. In stead our first…

early summer round up and spaces this week
Thought I would do an update of the last couple of months fishing excluding the tope which I will update separately in a few weeks. The north-easterly winds and low temperatures in April affected some of our fishing this spring. It seemed to hold things up a little. The algal bloom (may weed/rot/tobacco juice) was…
July
There continue to be some great hounds and bass showing lately. The hounds are in big numbers at times and really keeping us busy. There have been a lot of small fish around but if you kiss a lot of frogs there seems to be the occasional prince among them. Most days have seen…
July- bass and spaces offshore this week
There have been some great bass coming out lately. These bristling bars of silver are always popular to catch and sort after for the table too. Although some of the best sport we have with these will be on our offshore trips they are great fun to catch any time. Some fresh rag worm is…
