    Report on-board Silver Spray II

    We have now finished our Alderney trips for 2010. The fifth trip was one of our best for the variety and quality of fish as well as the excellent weather. Day One: Wrecking our side of the channel was slow with only a few pollack in the boat and a bucket of mackerel. We finished up on a wreck about an hour from Alderney with plenty of nice pollack up to 14lb on live mackerel on the drift. A bonus fish was a nice John Dory for Johnny Grummet. A quick anchoring session produced an 80lb+ conger for 76 year old Stanley Adams from West Brom. Day Two: Drifting for the turbot and brill proved a winner with around 20 fish on the boat for the day along with a 15lb blonde ray. Day Three: Another day on the drift for the turbot produced a 17lb angler fish for Jonny Grummett along with another 9 flats amongst which was an equal boat record turbot for Alex Miles at 23lb. Day Four: A fast and furious session on the cod on the way home produced plenty of double figure cod mixed in with some large Pollack, an 18lb ling and more congers on the slack. All in all an amazing trip for everyone. We are looking forward to Alderney in 2011 and will start planning in October.

    From Poole the wrecks are still fishing well with good numbers of cod, pollack and ling showing. Fishing at anchor has matched this with plenty of congers, tope to 50lb and blonde rays. The bass fishing has been slow but we managed increasing numbers on the last spring tide on the offshore banks. Freelining live mackerel off the Purbecks has produced a number of larger fish with the best so far an 8.5lber for John Ellis from Swansea. Evening reef trips off the Purbecks have produced some good bream around 3lb as well as bonus undulates, congers and smoothies.


    We are now looking forward to sharking in August with our first fish being hooked a lively 100lber which dropped the hook after 5minutes including a pass of the boat. Bass fishing should reach a peak with 10lb+ fish on the cards.
