    Report on-board Silver Spray II

    This month’s report isn’t quite as exciting as last month I’m Afraid. As you can imagine we have only been to sea a handful of times because of all the storms lately. In November we made the journey down the Northney Marina for the 2 day Northney cod comp. We forgot to invite the cod however so fishing was mostly congers whiting and a few rays. Big thanks to Bex and Ian of Kelley’s Hero Charters and Zac and Glen Cairns from Valkyrie Charters for organising and most importantly providing the bacon rolls. We will be back down there next year to have another go on 14th and 15th November. Elsewhere the best fishing has been for the bass. When conditions allow we have had seen plenty of hard fighting fish on light tackle including Craig Newman’s first ever bass of 10lb 4oz, that’s going to be hard to beat. Ian Memish caught our biggest bass of the year so far (still a few days left to beat it) after a solid 10 minute fight the fish hit the deck unharmed with the hook lightly in the top lip. After a quick photo it was back in the landing net to oxygenate the fish and watch it swim off for another day. Definitely our best catch and release of the year, the fish would have weighed around 14lb if we had taken the time to put it on the scaes. In the bay the fishing is good with some nice whiting, rays and of course the ever abundant congers. The cod are thin on the ground as mentioned earlier but sometimes they come on late in December and continue on into February especially further west off Poole. A massive thank you to everyone who fished with us on Silver Spray Charters in 2018, we wish you all a Merry Christmas and tight lines for 2019.
