    Report on-board Mistress

    Another cracking day fishing aboard Mistress. Talk about a mixed bag! It was my best day for catching a number of different species.
    Tony had to search around before he found some fresh mackerel for bait. After that, we set off and headed to a few wrecks, picking up a few Cod. I had a couple to about 4lb before landing a Ling about the 10lb mark. The I hit a Ballan wrasse, a few Pouting and Coley before, taking a couple of whiting. After catching a weaver fish, I had a fierce bite. Reeling in, I thought the fish was decent; it was fighting hard. When it broke the surface I couldn't believe it- a wolf fish. The first I'd ever caught. Not big by any standards, about 6lb but it put up a great fight. Tony showed me the best way to skin it and recommend frying it like scampi. It's an ugly looking fish, but one of the best I've tasted.
    Many thanks Tony, for another's fantastic day.

    Report on-board Duke IV

    The sun keeps shining and anyone would think it's mid summer. The Whiting and Cod are holding off while there's still plenty of smoothounds around. Skate numbers are increasing although not as many as we would hope for at this time of the year. Some weekend dates available for whole boat or individuals so make the most of the weather and come fishing. Pic shows Rob from Enfield with a fine Thornback ray.

    Report on-board Flamer IV

    TOPE ATTACK - On my latest Reef/Bank Trip it was a small tide so I anchored a mark South off the Shambles Bank and spent a hectic four and half hours there. First we were catching Pouts and Scad then as the tide picked up the fishing really got going with lots of Black Bream, Congers, Bull Huss, Gurnards but it was the Tope fishing that excelled and they just kept coming with most fish in the 10Ib to 25Ib range, Kevin Clark allias "K9" has a new nick name now "Tope 10", Kevin just kept catching them and you guessed it he stopped at 10 and then went Bream fishing. Phil Harrison who usually only does Wrecking trips really enjoyed the Tope fishing and is hooked on it now.
    The Tope were also following the Bream and Pouts up to the boat.
    Bait - The Tope were taking Squid, Mackerel baits, but the best bait was the Scad we were catching which were quickly disspatched and put on the hooks.
    Needless to say my arms are aching with taking so many Tope off the hooks, but it was really good fun.
    SCAD - we first noticed that Scad was a good bait during this years Weymouth Conger Festival when Mackerel were few and far between Which brings me to the 2019 Weymouth Conger Festival on August 26th,27th,28th, at present there are some places available on Flamer IV, If you fancy having a go then Contact me ASAP.
    Contact me a.s.a.p on 07968 972736 or colinpennyfu2@gmail.com

    All 4 punters are paying today, no fish no pay was the stipulation so we started off well with few small hounds then moved for the skate and found them. We decided to head for some bass but the tide died so no joy untill the last minute when the cream rose to the top and the Skipper landed 6 lb silver bar happy days. Taking bookings for this Sunday 4 spaces left and spaces next week. For a perfect days fishing call Jason on 07966273650 or Dawn on 07854772314.
