Reg Phillips and members of the South Coast Angling Club enjoyed another days fishing on their annual Angling Break. Reg was the star of the show catching an 8Ib Bass along with several Turbot and a Brill.
Three days were done out of the 5 booked due to two days of really windy and wet weather.
Flamer IV "Catch of the day trophies" were won by John Straker 4Ib Brill, Mervin Rees 20Ib Tope, Reg Phillips 8Ib Bass.
The guys are looking forward to booking for 2020.

A few days away fishing out of Weymouth along with the social side is a nice trip to do.The variety of fishing and the amount of different species caught at Weymouth is probably second to none.There are plenty of places to stay which are angler friendly and some excellent places to wine and dine around the harbour and in Weymouth Town centre.If you want to try a Weymouth Angling Break then contact me, I cater for whole boat charters and individuals.

Report on-board Silver Spray II
Again I find myself sat in my lounge on a Saturday rather than taking you guys out after the bass or plaice, just seems to be our luck that the wind is always blowing just a little bit too much this year. The fish have definitely been keen to get involved when we have managed to get out. Starting inshore the plaice have been good fun on the spinning rods with fish over the 3lb mark coming every trip, not quite hit 4lb recently but can’t be too far away. This type of drift fishing has been hampered by the weather a lot as a light westerly is best but we seem to always have 15 knots or more to contend with, giving us an unnatural drift speed. Out on the bass grounds the fishing has been brilliant with most of the fish coming to lures. Plenty of small fish in there of about 2lb heading back for next year and a nice one for the table for everyone that wants one. On the smaller tides the tope have provided great sport mixed in with all types of rays, some congers, huss and even the always welcome bonus turbot. I always try to have a shark rod out on a float whilst tope fishing, all the large mackerel flappers going up and down through the tide sets up a pretty handy chum trail. Last Monday it was it was clearly well worth a go when the first conger up to the boat was bitten in half by something with big teeth. After a few hours knocking out the tope the clicker screamed off on the shark rod and the lads were rewarded with a nice porbeagle of about 6 feet in length, good signs for our upcoming shark trips if we can get the weather. Our last wreck trip of the year turned out to be one of the best for cod with one small wreck producing all the fish. Along with ling and congers at anchor I think good fun was had by all. We are looking forward to finally getting over to Alderney next week as we haven’t managed to get over there since May. 2020 bookings are up to date for Alderney and Guernsey trips so get booking now.

Fishing Report by Scott Belbin
on Galloper (Brightlingsea, Essex)
Aug 2019 by Scott Belbin
Report on-board Galloper
summer 2019 keeps marching on, as I write it doesn’t look much like summer out side my window but we will be back out fishing again very soon. Our run of good weather may have come to an end but the good fishing has continued. The larger hounds moved further afield towards to end of last month. There is still some good fishing to be had within the sheltered areas but the direction of wind and size of the tide need to be right to make it worth while. We have snuck a few days in when these work in our favour and of course the weather has been pleasant on several days in between. when we have got out we have found some nice mixed fishing. the average size of smooth-hound has been down on the earlier part of the year but there are still good numbers and a few double figure fish showing among them. The thorn-back rays have been showing in numbers too. these are a smaller stamp of fish than we tend to see in the spring or autumn but there are still a few better fish in there and they will be bigger as time goes on. We are still seeing plenty of bass on most trips. The lads have had some lovely chunky fish and sometimes in very shallow water. The other day we were fishing in such shallow clear water I could see the anchor! Its hard to beat catching a 3-4lb bass on light gear in water like this. Watching them dart around all over the place as they have nowhere else to go. The bass should hang around until the end of October in places and I have offered some offshore bass trips up accordingly. Hopefully we are due an Indian summer. The highlight of last month for me was a ‘nearly’ fish. this area isn’t known for its variety of species, I have seen several on the boat over the years (we’re up to 32 on CBUK) so something different is always nice. I got a surprise when we were packing up the other day. I was hauling the anchor and the last few lads were winding in when Dave’s reached the surface and there was a red mullet hanging off of his 4/0 hook! Although these fish show regularly in nets in the autumn around here its not what we were expecting while fishing for hounds. I shut the capstan down and darted for the net but as dave lifted it in it fell off, sat on the surface a few moments then swam off.

A steady day on the fish yesterday on the Shy-Torque III.
The ground on the 9 mile giving us the best picking of codling and ling. No monsters landed but a really enjoyable day.
Fish falling to the baited rigs and the shads.
My son Charlie started work with us at the start of the 6 week holidays and is loving the job! He is also enjoying catching a few too!! Charl is pictured inset.
Room for a few next Wednesday and next Friday.
Cheers

Report on-board Flamer IV
Reg Phillips and friends had their annual 5 day Angling Break cancelled in April so re scheduled for August.
Flat Fish being the main target species, but several species have been caught on the Flat Fish tackle and baits ie Turbot, Brill, Tope, Bass, Undulate Ray,Blonde Ray, Conger, Dogfish, Mackerel, Scad etc.
Mike Walker, Eathan Steaker and Paul Baxter were all "Turbot Virgins" but not any more as they have all caught Turbot now.
The guys certainly know how to charm the skipper, they gave me a gift of 20 bags of black and red wine gums,"Thanks Guys" should last me for a while.
Pictured is 74 year old Mike Walker with his first ever Turbot weighing 4Ib.

Fishing Report by Shaun Pedley
on Our Joe (Paignton, Devon)

Report on-board Our Joe
Today aboard Our Joe-L, Wreck Fishing with a different outcome . . . Again!
One of the anglers I had aboard today managed to hook a Thresher Shark while drifting a Mid Channel Wreck. (Second time this has happened in just over a week so we was slightly more prepared this time)
The hard runs in all direction confirmed it was a shark and I soon had all the other anglers reeling in the lures so we could give this one a good chance of at least being seen on the surface. The transom was free for Peter to fight the fish as I started steering the boat towards the fish. I’m glad I did when I noticed the tackle Peter was using, a light fladen multiplier reel and a 20lb class rod.
We had everyone’s attention aboard and I have to say all 9 other anglers all helped out by telling me where the fish was running and getting out of the way very quickly when asked by me and Peter.
After about 20mins and some brilliant fish fighting we saw the tail fin of a Thresher darting across the surface for around 80m then diving again, no jumping which I was surprised about after last weeks amazing mid air sighting!
Just as the fighting became a little easier for Pete and he started to gain some decent amount of line without me driving the boat the line suddenly went all slack and the hook was spat!
Some nice pollock caught today on the wrecks along with some very big Pouting. Shame we had no Ling today but you can’t have everything I guess. We was just lucky to get out in this small break in the weather.
I’m thinking of running a couple of sharking trips throughout August and September now so if you’re interested, please let me know. This is now the 3rd different sighting of a Thresher Shark in the last month and 2 of them have been hooked.
