    Report on-board Flamer IV

    APRIL 2011 - FLAMER IV REPORT - "WHAT A MONTH" as excellent fish were caught throughout the month although the majority of April's trips were spent concentrating on Plaice and Turbot.Paul Milkins landed the biggest plaice weighing 6Ib 2oz closely followed by Denise Young with a 5Ib 12oz plaice.Top of the impressive Turbot catches was Trevor Lockyer with 24Ib 8oz monster then Russell Salmon with his 23 pounder.Cod started to feature inshore and on the offshore wrecks.Peter Gordon landed a 20 pounder on the mussell beds and David Bruce caught a 23Ib Cod while drifting a wreck with mackerel fillet bait.Pollack and Ling were caught on the wrecks.The inshore reef/bank fishing at anchor produced some good action with good size spurdogs,smooth hounds and rays.27 different species have been caught on Flamer IV so far in 2011.
    With so many good fish caught it was a hard job choosing the Fish of the Month award.However Flamer IV Fish of the Month was awarded to Russell Salmon for his 23Ib Turbot(pictured).You may ask why Trevor Lockyer did not win it with his 24Ib 8oz Turbot,well Trevor won January Fish of the Month and had already qualified for the 2011 winners competition.
