The Thames Estuary is a vast expanse of shoal and sandbanks holding a large variety of fish species including; Bass, Smooth Hound, Mackerel, Tope and Skate in summer months with Cod and Whiting etc in the winter months.
Often when south coast charter boats are in harbour due to strong winds Thames Estuary boats are still able to find sheltered fishing, thus often avoiding cancellations and costly wasted journeys. Most fishing is anchored ground fishing, Uptide/Downtide, and wrecking trips by special arrangement dependant on weather conditions.
Rods and fishing equipment can be hired 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.
A seventy five pound deposit is required to confirm any booking, which is fully refundable (less any live bait costs) if weather conditions prevent safe sailing, this is at the discretion of the skipper.
