Fishing Report by Steve Green
on Brigand (Brighton, East Sussex)
31 May 2021 by Steve Green
Report on-board Brigand
After the last 3 days boating Bass, Cod and Pollock on the offshore wrecks today was a far more relaxed affair! Target was inshore Bream and as this was our first go at these this year there was a hint of trepidation - would we find them in the numbers and the sizes we wanted? Well that was soon answered and a really fun filled, non-stop, fishy day saw us boating around 150 Bream, a dozen or so Plaice and few beautiful wrasse. We always observe our local IFCA recommendations on sizes and really pleased to see this year not just minimum take sizes but also maximum sizes recommended. These bigger fish have avoided predation, disease and (until this point !) capture; the DNA of these fish allied to the fact the egg production of larger females grows exponentially is a very important factor when considering fishery conservation.
Great weather, great fish, great company so a wonderful day all around and I finally had an opportunity to have a proper fish and ended up in a head to head contest with Mark Pantony who between catching Plaice and Wrasse boated a pb tally of 28 Bream - do correct me if I’m wrong Mark! It was hilarious banter, great competition and most of all wonderful to see an angler who through sheer grit and determination had developed both offshore and inshore angling techniques to that level..... I smell a fishy Rob Robin Howard��
A very chilled day and great to catch up with out friends who fish regularly and to meet a few new ones who I hope we see again, a real pleasure sharing time with you all today and Mrs Brigand is extremely pleased to have a few Bream in the fridge!
We do not have any full boat availability for this year but do have limited individual places for Cod, Bass, Pollock, Turbot, Bream & Tope so if you would like to join us availability can be viewed here www.brigandcharters.com
No photo’s today I’m afraid - I was too busy trying to keep pace with with Mark and his diabolical, underhand tricks (����) - besides, pretty sure you all will know what a Black Bream looks like��

Yesterday we sailed out to the wall again as the fishing inside is still a bit naff with colouration in the water still.
40 or so keepers for the chaps with loads of Whiting too!
Unusual for out there.
Cheers and keep a tight line.

Report on-board Brigand
Another fabulous day out in the deeps with a bunch of top chaps. I thought I would steal Paul Coventry report of the day (apologies Paul!), refreshing to have an anglers view of a days fishing with us instead of ours;
Catch report 29/5/21.
It's been a good days fishing. All of our guys caught. First stop was a bass mark then onto a bass wreck. Schoolies Initially but then a better stamp of fish around the 5lb mark saw several keepers. On again and we were into pollack. Again some smaller ones that were still mostly keepers but Ian Hamilton latched into and boated a 10lb plus fish , 10-4 rings a bell, only to be outdone by Andrew Kennedy with a 14lb 9oz PB. We then saw a couple of cod come on board....to Ian and Andrew again!
In all I guess around 20 keepers in the ice box and a nice sunny day afloat!
Thanks as always to Steve and Nick at Brigand Brighton .
Well done Andrew on his Pb Pollock and to those who took Bass, Cod & Pollock today - some excellent angling ����
Best wishes

Fantastic to be out on the water again after some pretty poor weather and great to
Welcome back Peter and his crew, always a pleasure sharing time with these guys.
Day started on a little inshore Bass hunt before heading offshore. Bumped into our resident Bass expert and mentioned that we wouldn’t be hanging around as we targeting Cod and couldn’t hang around. Rob picked up a nice Bass around 5lb and off we went. Pretty steady stat with a fish or two a drift and a good mix of Bass & Pollock, slack water and things slowed which signalled the time to move to the Cod wrecks. Some
beautiful prime Spring Cod boated and the odd Pollock as the tide built before heading home...... its great to be back at it��

Fishing Report by John Peck
on Lady Margaret (Poole, Dorset)
May 2021 by John Peck
Report on-board Lady Margaret
The annual maintenance is now complete and "Lady Margaret" is back in the water. Despite some very unsettled weather considering it is May we have had some good fishing for a variety of species.
There are currently lots of black bream around. All the local marks have been producing fish. We are still awaiting our first three pounder of the year but there are plenty of fish in the 1lb 8oz to 2lb class which give excellent sport on light tackle.
The plaice fishing has been hit and miss. There are some nice sized keepers around but you need the right conditions to get them feeding. The big storm late in the month disturbed the fishing for a while but we had a decent catch at the end of the month. We have also had mackerel, gurnards and bass coming aboard during the plaice sessions.
All this fishing is done with very light tackle and is available in local waters reached in minimal travelling time and sheltered from northerly and westerly winds.
Further out there are some nice sized bass. We did our first bassing trip of the year at the end of the month. The fishing was a bit slow but the fish were of a good average size including a fish of 10lb 12oz our first double figure bass of the year. View Boats Page

After the rubbish day we had on Friday we decided a run to the wall was in order yesterday.
The fishing wasn’t startling but the lads managed to gather around 30 fish for their efforts.
Codling to 5lb and a ling to around 6lb.
Squid baited rigs fishing the best.
This young lad showed the elders how to go on and also landed himself a nice double up!
Cheers
