Last chance for Littlehampton pollack this year 24 Mar, 2025 from 08:50 AM to 04:50 PM

This is our last of four pollack wrecking trips with Martin on Spirit of Arun. Will we get in among the big pollack this time?

Wrecking from Eastbourne 04 Apr, 2025 from 08:05 AM to 04:05 PM — Eastbourne,

Our first trip out with Phil Batt on Aladard, and it's set to be a pollack trip. Let's see what Phil can do!

Breaming or wrecking 21 Apr, 2025 from 08:20 AM to 04:20 PM — Littlehampton,

I may have been a bit premature in labeling our previous Littlehampton trip the 'last pollack trip of the year', as if the weather gods are kind, this one may also see us heading offshore. Alternatively we'll be having a go for the big early season black bream on the inshore reefs.

Bream or bass or smoothies 19 May, 2025 from 08:30 AM to 04:30 PM — Littlehampton,

All the options are open to us here - the bream will be plentiful, there may be some good bass fishing over banks and reefs, and the smoothhounds will be inshore. What we target depends on the weather and how well the fish have been feeding.

Flatties, bream or bass 30 May, 2025 from 08:35 AM to 04:35 PM — Weymouth,

Our first trip out of Weymouth with Richard English in about 15 years, so it's bound to be a total disaster. Assuming he remembers where he left his boat, the target will be spring plaice, if there are any about, plus turbot and brill, with maybe some bream as backup and bass, if the fish are there and feeding.

Bassing or maybe more pollack. Or both 09 Jun, 2025 from 08:55 AM to 04:55 PM — Eastbourne,

Phil will be taking us to hunt bass on wreck, reef or sandbank, with maybe a smattering of pollack thrown in for good measure.

Tope, or bass, or maybe bream, or even smoothies 25 Jun, 2025 from 08:55 AM to 05:55 PM — Littlehampton,

This is another one of those trips where the options are many and varied. If the tope are present in numbers, we'll definitely target them for at least some of the day, but we may also drift for bass, or fish at anchor for bream and smoothies. Whichever way, it'll be great.

Bassing or toping, or bassing and toping 14 Jul, 2025 from 08:55 AM to 05:55 PM — Littlehampton,

It's high summer, and both tope and bass should be present in decent numbers. We'll probably spend some time at anchor for the top, and some drifting with lures for bass, but we may focus on one or the other if the fishing is especially good.

Weymouth summer trip from 25 Jul, 2025 08:00 AM to 26 Jul, 2025 05:00 PM — Weymouth,

The best two days of the summer, and the quintessential Really Wrecked experience. Now featuring even less drinking, skinny dipping, rigging climbing and high jinks than ever before! The fishing will be pretty good though, with bream, bass, tope, conger, huss, and all kinds of rays in the crosshairs.

Bassing or big rays 22 Aug, 2025 from 08:05 AM to 04:05 PM — Littlehampton,

If the weather is good enough and the water clear, we'll be focusing on bass over the sandbanks and rough ground with big leadheads. If it's less ideal for lure fishing, we'll be anchored on the sandbanks, catching big blonde rays.

Rough ground fishing for rays, bream, huss and spurs, and perhaps squid jigging 05 Sep, 2025 from 08:10 AM to 04:10 PM — Eastbourne,

This will mainly be a day at anchor fishing for bream and bigger species using a variety of baits. We'll also spend at least some of the day jigging for squid, so bring your squid lures!

Rays and/or spurs or bassing 15 Sep, 2025 from 08:15 AM to 04:15 PM — Littlehampton,

If the water is clear then we'll be bassing over offshore wrecks or, more likely, sandbanks, and if it's murky we'll try for spurs and rays at anchor.

Weymouth autumn trip 29 Sep, 2025 from 08:15 AM to 05:15 PM — Weymouth,

This is usually the best time of year to be fishing our of Weymouth, with bass, bream, flatfish, top, rays, huss and eels all a possibility, plus the chance to fish for the porbeagles which come to feed on the bream and mackerel over the rough ground,

Big autumn bass * 13 Oct, 2025 from 08:20 AM to 05:20 PM — Littlehampton,

This is one of our chances to smash Stew's huge eleven-pound club bass record, as the bass will be large and fat, and we'll be targeting them all day, if we can. The asterisk denotes that if the bass aren't playing bass, or the water is too murky for effective lure fishing, we'll fall back on the fast and furious action that is spurs and ray fishing at anchor.

Giant autumn bass guaranteed 10 Nov, 2025 from 08:25 AM to 05:25 PM — Littlehampton,

As you well know "guaranteed" is a stretch. Okay, it's a lie, but if you're going to catch a monster bass, this is the right time of year to be trying. AS always, murky water or no bass means we'll anchor up for some rays and spurs.

Weymouth wrasse trip 24 Nov, 2025 from 08:30 AM to 04:30 PM — Weymouth,

One of the most popular trips of the year. When we get out, we're more or less guaranteed hours of constant action pulling in hard-fighting ballan wrasse on tackle as light as you dare go. And there's always the chance of a truly spectacular specimen. Can we beat the eight-pound barrier?

Bass or rays or spurs 15 Dec, 2025 from 08:35 AM to 04:35 PM — Littlehampton,

This would have been a codding trip in years gone by, but now we'll just have to content ourselves with enormous bass if the water is clear enough, or spurdogs and rays if it's not. Either way the action will be hot enough to warm up a chilly winter's day.
