Sabre Charters aboard ‘Famous' specialise in providing outstanding fishing trips around the Thames Estuary. Our charter boat trips operate from Essex Marina, Wallasea Island.
Fishing aboard ‘Famous’ provides you with not only our experience of the best fishing spots, and knowledge of techniques to bring in a great catch, but excellent facilities and ample room aboard ‘Famous’.
We often have regular fishermen aboard our boat ‘Famous’ as our charter trips are well known locally for providing a great day sea fishing. Our trips are suitable for both the experienced sea angler and a novice looking for a day afloat with some helpful advice.
Fishing is usually up tide over rough ground and the many sand banks the Thames has to offer.
Special lure fishing trips for Bass can also be arranged.
Full instruction is available to first time Sea fisherman at no extra cost.
The main species of fish caught are:
Thornback Ray
Bass
Smoothound
Tope
Other species regulalry caught include: whiting, dogfish, pouting, eels, sole, mackerel, starry smoothound, flounder, dabs, plaice, stingrays and spurdogs.
As the River Crouch is sheltered, few trips are cancelled due to bad weather. There are usually some sheltered marks within the Crouch which fish well for thornback ray and bass, so you can still fish for the day even if the wind blows. Having a large catamaran allows most trips to go ahead despite inclement weather, however cancelled trips can be easily rearranged.
