    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    A few good days, a few not so good days on the boat this last week.

    The weather has been the main problem here on the East coast and has taken the edge off what was extremely good fishing a week ago. I would say the last few trips we have averaged around 30 to 40 cod per trip, which is a drop on the catch rate a week ago.
    A Northerly swell has also hindered us a bit too, colouring the water up a bit on the more inshore marks. It will clear again soon though hopefully.

    The summer comp starts here at Whitby on Sat 23rd June.

    We only have 2 days left now with any room.
    They are :-
    Thursday 12th. Room for 2. Individuals very welcome.
    Sunday 15th. Room for 2. Individuals very welcome.

    Tight lines

  • 11/06/2018 Fishing Report by Philip Higgins on Mistress Linda / San Gina3 (Poole, Dorset)

    11 Jun 2018 by Philip Higgins

    Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3

    Fishing has been excellent with so many fish coming onboard it is hard to keep up with the scores, Bream and Tope have been the main targets inshore, we have been using spinning rods Tope fishing and it has been challenging for some anglers to control the fish but all have successfully mastered it and are enjoying the style. Over the last few days we have had 2 new species to the list a Worm Pipefish and a Shore Clingfish, this little guy was so cute with his extraordinary spotted eyes and colours.

  • 12/06/2018 Fishing Report by Phil White on Chinook 3 (Bradwell Marina, Essex)

    12 Jun 2018 by Phil White

    Report on-board Chinook 3

    We have not had a good run of Tope in the Estuary for a long time so it was a lovely surprise this week to see some cracking fish turning up.
    The biggest reported was a 57 lb fish on Derek Mole's boat Eastern Promise on Saturday followed by a 51lb and another 4 over 40lb.
    There are plenty of fish between 30 and 50lb and a good run of 10 to 20lb fish as well, both male and female. Best baits are fresh mackerel but the frozen baits are starting to work as more Tope turn up and get competitive.
    Because of the chances of hooking one of these big fish have increased significantly anglers should now rig up as if they are targeting them if they are using fish baits.
    Re-spool your reels with good quality 25-30lb line with a shock leader, traces should be wire or heavy 150-200lb mono, 8/0 hooks and 210 gram gripper leads.
    You will also need a big T bar or long nosed pliers, if you want to weigh them use a big sling and do not weigh them from the tail but support the whole body.
    Finally the most important point. keep away from the mouth, hold the fish under the pecs or by the dorsal if you are feeling strong. if you get a bite from one of these fish you will be taking a ride in a helicopter for lots of stitches !!!.
    There are a lot more Smooth hounds showing up especially inshore where we have seen several fish up to 16lb. These fish have been taking squid baits whilst roker fishing but anglers targeting them with hermit crab have had better results.
    There are more Bass now with the biggest we have seen at a cracking 11lb from an inshore mark last week on squid.
    There are still plenty of Thornbacks inshore although by the time of my next report they will probably have moved offshore.
    There are a few mackerel but they are well scattered, hopefully by next week's neap tides there will be more.
    Prospects are excellent, if the Tope hang around the Estuary for the summer it could be our best season for quite some time.
    Tight lines.

    Report on-board Just Mary

    Hi All,

    after weeks of unseasonal Easterly winds, in which we have still managed to land good numbers of fish locally, everything is set to change later this week. By the weekend we should be back to the usual prevailing wind which, for us, is South Westerly and blowing up the English Channel. So we will begin to fish various different local marks after the 'Thursday Blow' and hope to provide more variety of species for your enjoyment. Looking ahead to July, we will start our Plaice trips and after the success of the 'Skippers Traces' last year then we look forward to another good season on the 'Spots'. Look forward to seeing you all soon, ta Malc.

    Report on-board Flamer IV

    The Reef/Bank fishing has been really good with good catches of Rays,Bull Huss,Congers, Smooth Hounds and some Black Bream but most of all the Tope fishing has been amazing and great fun. Cocktail baits of squid and mackerel mounted on pennel rigs of Sakuma Manta 6/0 and 4/0 hooks have proved to be successful. Pictured is Chris Wall with a 23Ib Tope.
