Going boat fishing?

Enewsletter buttonWelcome to Boat Fishing Monthly magazine's website. Bringing you more great angling features, top tackle tests and mark info than ever before.

At last we've got a break in the weather! The horrendous winds have kept a lot of small boats inshore this month, but sport has still been quite good with loads of bass to be caught. When the weather has allowed, the offshore fishing has been excellent for big bass and rays.

Charter boats logoMost anglers that we've been talking to are now looking towards the start of the winter cod season. It doesn't seem five minutes ago that we were all waiting for the bass to arrive!
Don't wish the late summer sport away too fast, there are still some amazing fish to catch. And, don't forget that September and early October offer the best chance of a monster bass!

The first of four episodes of a new series that I filmed in Norway with Dean Macey, called 'Land of The Midnight Sun is up on onlinefishing.tv, so make sure you check them out - I'm really proud of them. Take a look a my blog for my latest fishing exploits, and if you've boated a whopper yourself recently, why not post your pictures in our gallery.

If it's too rough to get out on your own boat, why not try to book a trip on a charter boat? We've got a comprehensive list, so there's bound to be one near you - check them out here.

This is your website, so join the Forum and check out our Photos and Videos section, tell us what you like and where you like to fish. Share your photos and fishing tales and really contribute to the future of Boat Fishing Monthly - Britain's leading boat fishing magazine.
