    Report on-board Silver Spray II

    The whiting fishing really turned on in late December with the biggest average stamp of fish I think I've ever seen off Poole. Fish between 3-4lb being caught two at a time is good fun on the light tackle. As I'm starting to see more and more markings of sprats on the sounder the whiting seem to be getting fatter and fatter, they really are one of the nicest eating fish around I just wish they stuck around for longer. Not put off by the small baits we have seen some smashing cod on the whiting gear, always putting up a hell of scrap. As well as the target species we have also seen a lot of mixed fish on the cod baits. Thornbacks, undulates, congers, smoothound and spotty rays are all in abundance. One of the highlights have been some of the big bass that continue to pop their heads up. Shane Barlow landed a monster 15lber whilst fishing in the bay with a squid and cuttlefish bait, the second biggest one we have ever seen. Fish of the Year for 2016 went to Pete Read for his 25lb 4oz spurdog caught in March, a brilliant catch even if she was a little camera shy before being returned. We have done our first trip out to the banks with success landing spurs to over 20lb and blonde rays as well. We look forward to doing more of this in the coming weeks.
