Fishing Report by Sam Cumming
on Silver Spray II (Poole, Dorset)

Report on-board Silver Spray II
Our patience in March was rewarded with a week’s worth of good weather to round the month off, and on a nice neap tide no less! It seems like the weather makes a mess of those smaller tides so often these days so it’s nice to get one in. We were treated to 5 straight days of flat calm seas and good fishing. Most days were spent on the wrecks making targetting the big spring pollack with an hour or two spent at anchor on the way in to do some filleting and target the spurdogs and blonde rays. We have been doing well on the regular wrecks for this time of year averaging 30 fish or so a day, still plenty of double figure fish to help boost that personal best. Yesterday we managed the first cod of the year, hopefully the first of many. We used one of the smallest tides of the year to explore some new wrecks with positive results and look forward to getting out there again soon. On the banks the fishing is still nonstop with all different types of rays showing up along with spurs, congers, huss and some early tope. As an angler I love these types of trips at anchor due to the variety of species but it seems this year they have proved harder trips to fill than the long distance wreck stuff. Inshore the spell of warm weather has started to heat the waters back up and we have seen the arrival of the first bream slightly earlier than usual. We are used to seeing the smaller fish arrive first but were pleasantly surprised with half a dozen fish over 2lb in our first session. Elsewhere we have been getting tucked into some decent plaice up to 4lb, hard fighting on the lighter tackle. The turbot are plentiful but nothing monstrous yet so fingers crossed for later in the month. Plenty of spaces for bream fishing over the coming weeks as well as the first of the cod trips.

Fishing Report by Rich Cope
on Mistress (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
13 Apr 2019 by Rich Cope
Report on-board Mistress
We managed to sneak a day in yesterday here at whitby, certainly not an easy day, with easterly motion and neap tides combined with mucky water inshore.
Earlier reports in the week from other boats that travelled offshore to wrecks were not encouraging so we stayed inshore uptiding again.
The Lads fished steadily all day catching a few fish each time we stopped, we managed around 30 codlings for the day all on worm and squid. Most fish were 2lb-4lb.
The weather looks unsettled for the next few days but we have plenty of availability coming up.

�� DEVON HOLIDAY FISHING REPORT ��
The lads from the South East have had a couple of decent days fishing aboard OUR JOE-L on this weeks Devon Sea Fishing Holiday hosted by us. The first 2 days have been very productive and fun!
Monday morning the tackle was aboard in no time and with full bellies from Sandra’s Breakfast at Parkholm Hotel. We headed out for a bit more bait on the feathers but the east wind had produced visibility that relates to pea soup! So we stuck to what the lads brought down with them.
I tried an old flood tide mark for Rays but the high pressure had slowed the tide sooner than expected so soon shifted.
Slack water over the skerries we had some nice but smallish plaice that went over 1lb.
When the Ebb kicked in we anchored a new little mark I’ve been wanting to try for a little while, with a couple of alterations after dropping the anchor we was on! Blonde, blonde, blonde biggest went over 19lb not quite making the 20lb for Kevin.
The Fisherman’s famous saying of ‘the one that got away’ was brought back for the afternoon as Malcolm Wright #Shimano Tyrnos 20 reel loaded with braid started to scream! (FISH ON!) All eyes widened knowing it was a big big blonde on the other end! Rod in hand and just as the thought turned to the drag and the fight for him the braid snapped! And with a big disappointing sigh from all 4 anglers, that was the end of that.
The ray marks round here have often produced Blonde Ray over 28lb and into the 30’s in the recent past! That would have secured the specimen prize for Malcolm’s club of Colchester Sea Anglers for a long time he tells me!
Today was Mid Channel Tuesday and with reports of the wrecks being slow at best at the moment we didn’t know what to expect. I targeted a couple of wrecks that should have been left alone for a while. All 3 wrecks produced pollock all day long. Not every drift but most drifts fish coming aboard. Getting bigger as the day went on with the biggest couple making it into double figures but most were 6-8lb.
Couple of nice Whiting and a Tub Gurnard to add to the day.
Over all happy faces aboard and the lads are all enjoying there fishing holiday with us here in Paignton, South Devon.
Tomorrow is another day and makes half way for the Fishing Holiday. Forecast could look better for the rest of the week but we will see!

Fishing Report by Philip Higgins

Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3
The last 2 days have seen plenty of Bream being landed and returned, Monday was fished in perfect conditions but lacked fish in good numbers , Tuesday forecast was one of easterly winds and heavy rain fortunately the wind was not as fresh and the rain held off until late afternoon but the Bream fishing was the best this season with everybody on board in double figures not big fish the best may have been 2lb but plenty of sport for all. We also landed a very rare species for Poole a Mackeral along with Bass, Plaice, Wrasse, Dogs overall a couple of good days. Glad to see the Bream are starting to feed as last year they did not arrive until 19th April. Early for us and very welcome.

Report on-board Mistress
We managed to get to sea both days this weekend here at whitby.
Saturday was a very shabby day with a typical example of the weather men getting it wrong again!
Despite this the lads sat it out till lunch time, before throwing in the towel after I gave them the option of going back in, professionally it's no good for me seeing lads struggle, they still managed a few fish apiece which I filleted for them once back alongside.
Sunday was much better weather wise and we had steady fishing all day, we moved as bites dried up, best angler took 10 fish himself returning a couple and keeping 8 for the table.
We're still running week in, week out as weather let's us sail.
Our spring festival begins soon and runs April 13th to April 28th. We still have good wrecking tides available in the competition. We've already seen fish well into double figures this week, so Hope's are high!
Give me a call or text on 07977 436903 if you're interested in joining us for a days fishing.
