Sunday 25th October

We were away at 6.ooam this morning. Not a nice day but we managed to get outside for the ebb tide back to where we fished yesterday. Its spot on what they say, “No two fishing days are the same.”

With only a couple of cod and plenty of whiting it got to low water and with the waves starting to build it was time to run. Back in the shelter of the Medway catching dogs, dabs and whiting.

Still a good day out.

I’m off now to Cornwall for a weeks holiday so no fishing for a week.

The very best to you all. Skipper Steve

Well guys, after looking at this weekends forecast it was touch and go if we were going to get outside.

The winds looking like SE 15mph backing SW20mph.

So I decided to leave at 6.00am so that I could get in all of the ebb tide.

We stuck our noses through Garrison Point and it was flat calm.

We got fishing straight away before it started to blow up. As soon as we anchored we had three cod straight away between 3lb and 8lb. It was a good start.

We started to lose the tide so we upped anchor and moved to deeper water to get a bit more tide.

What a good move, plenty of cod 4lb to 9lb. We managed four cod between 8lb and 9lb so not bad going.

As the tide started to flood the wind picked up and it got a bit snotty so we headed back in.

Plenty of cod and chips tonight lads. See you on the next one.

All the best, Skipper Steve

Another lovely evening. All the lads tonight from Plumbfix where I work.

We went straight up to Thames Port tonight where there were plenty of dogs and whiting to keep us busy for a few hours. After we each had a couple of bacon rolls the governor, Andy, was in the lead and he’s never really fished before but was showing us what to do.

His boy, Jordan, was catching a few as well so plenty of banter as you can imagine.

The time soon passed and it was time to head back in.

All the best, Skipper Steve

Well what a difference a day makes with weather perfect all day.
We left chatham early at 6.30am, steamed out and got ready for the start of the flood tide.
While we waited I got the sausages cooking straight away and a cup off tea going to warm up.
Whitings coming in all the time then the tide started pushing through with plenty of colour in the water.
We managed a few cod up to 7lb and plenty of dogs & whiting to go along with as well.
Once the tide eased back the codling stopped and the dogs took over so it was then time to head back in.
Thanks for a nice day lads nice meeting you all – hopefully see you all soon.
All the best, Skipper Steve

Really blowy today but this time of year we can stay in the River Medway with plenty of shelter.
Ian brought his family down from Luton today.  After they had some breakfast we got away for 8am.
Not long out and we were fishing. First cast and Ian christened his new rod with a cod of about 4lb. A really great start to the day.
Plenty of whitings coming up but the weed became a bit of a problem so i decided to make a move.
We dropped anchor again and were straight into dogs & whitings. Eventually a couple of more cods came on board. All in all it was a nice day out. Its nice to know that if we can’t get out in the Thames Estuary we can stay inside and still get in a good days fishing.
Hopefully see you on the next trip in november Ian.
All the best, Skipper Steve
