It make you wonder who is running this country sometimes; The democratic goverment we elected or the Brussels bureaucrats?
It is hard enough running a successful charter boat these days, what with rising fuel, but now the goverment have pushed up the duty on Diesel from 7.68p per litre to 54p per litre effective from oct 2008 under a EU directive,THIS WILL EFFECT EVERYONE THAT USES RED DIESEL please help our industry by campaiging against it and signing our electronic petition which we are going to send to the Goverment!

Fast
and comfortable with plenty of space for up to twelve anglers, skippered
by owner Dave Weaving PBA, with over twenty years experience in
the charter business. The Jenna-D, Dave's charter fishing boat is
brimming full of the latest in electronics to give you the best possible
chance of some real fishing!
The
Thames Estuary offers anglers a variety of fish, October sees the appearance
of the whiting, followed by codling, November/December right through
till the end of March/early April. Most of our trips tend to be
offshore but with the River Blackwater on our doorstep we can normally
find shelter to fish whilst other ports have to cancel. In April
we start to pick up skate as they move inshore, with the milder waters
we have seen these fish caught all year round. Late May sees the
appearance of tope. The estuary is renowned for these hard fighting
fish.
The large females come in to drop their pups. June/July is the
time that the ever popular smooth hound make an entrance, without doubt
pound for pound this is one of the best fish for sport. We actively
participate in conservation and encourage anglers to return these magnificent
creatures back safely to preserve our famous fishery for the coming
years and beyond.
Also at this time of year is everyone's favorite fish the bass, these
are great eating fish, although once again many hardened anglers are
also returning these great fish and being selective in what they take
to preserve the stocks and we actively encourage this.
Also found in the estuary are eels, dog fish, pouting and mackerel,
not every ones favorite but a catch is a catch! If strong winds
do happen to stop us getting to the offshore marks don't be disappointed;
the Blackwater Estuary is home to some of the best stingray in England. The
biggest shore caught specimen from our river last year was in excess
of 60lbs and with a plentiful schools of bass we've nearly always got
something to offer.
On
board the Jenna-D the skipper is justly proud of his reputation of putting
his anglers on the fish - specimen fish! As you can see by this amazing
25lbs 2oz Smooth Hound taken recently, have a glance in the gallery
section to see more of the catches anglers have caught aboard the Jenna-D
