Fishing

In most months of the year you will have a variety of fish. I will be onhand to help and advise any novices on the best way to go about catching all the different species using different methods, baits and tactics which will apply on the day. I can customize the day to do whatever you wish. If your priority is one particular specie of fish or just a general mixed bag just let me know.

Most days are about 9-10 hours. Longer trips can be arranged when booking. Because Wallasea is in a sheltered estuary, we can usually find some sheltered water even if the wind blows. These inshore waters can at times be very productive for bass, cod, whiting and thornbacks.

When bad weather is upon us Thames Estuary boats are still able to find sheltered fishing. Most fishing is at anchor, (Uptide/Downtide), andwrecking trips by special arrangement dependant on weather conditions. Rods and fishing equipment are supplied free of charge and bait can be supplied, any live bait ordered must be paid for in full and no refund can be given on any live bait ordered.

For the novice we offer our usual free expert tuition with free rod hire and tackle options if required, and of course all the usual facilities you would expect from a top of the range charter boat. Early booking is advised, as this exciting fishing is very popular so ring the hotline for more details or email us today.

The Tope is one of the hardest fighting fish found in our waters of the Thames Estuary the premier area in the UK for this species and record holder of eighty two and a half pounds for this fish!

With up to seventy pound not uncommon and fish to thirty-five pounds regularly caught, tackle and anglers are put to the ultimate test!

The fishing can be fast and furious and sometimes down right chaotic with runs and if your not careful break-ups from every side of the boat. If you would like to sample our form of Big Game Fishing then June to mid-July is the best period with chances of a return fish in mid-August. The cost is a little more than our regular fishing trips as distances to steam are much more with approximately fifty to sixty mile round trips.

I also do corporate days, which can include breakfast and a full days fishing with everything laid on for your convenience and finished with an evening meal at our local marina restaurant & bar.
