Report on-board Girl Mandy
Hi folks sorry for not keeping up to date but there has been a great deal going on ,we managed to get out between the 22nd and the 26th of march after such a long time owing to terrible weather We contacted a few skate and some nice whiting but not as many as hoped so after cancelling the Friday due to being a poor forecast we went to sea sat with all hopes we did get some skate and yet again some nice whiting but our group had been on the booze the night prior and there attention span was severely hampered due to the alcohol and on seeing what they were putting on for bait ie Chorizo half a herring on one hook and smelly bait on the other we did not stand a chance Our next trip we decided to go further out down the mouse and managed to land on some nice skate to around 9lb so our plan Monday was push down further we ended up at the lower end of the burrows,it was a bit quiet until the flood tide and then it was all systems go but due to the lads wanting to be home by a certain time we cut the trip short but all the boys were happy. Hopefully after the next set of big tides we will get them closer to home (sorry for the war and peace write up) so until our next report tight lines and calm conditions

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
25.03.18.
A mixed group of lads aboard the boat last Sunday from as far afield as Birmingham to Burnley.
After the days fishing before we decided that we were going straight back to the offshore marks and save some time. We started fishing around 9.0 am after a couple of hours steam and on arrival we were straight into fish.
"Sammy" the bull seal decided that he would join us and start pinching fish from our lines which was so annoying. Several pinched fish later we moved a mile or so up the ground and found another steady fishing. Like a few trips ago, he followed us up and down the drift spoiling the fishing for the rest of the day. We did end up with a half decent show but the fish that stood out from all the others was a cracking whiting which touched 2 lb 14 oz.
Orimus from Birmingham taking the whiting and pictured inset.
Cheers

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
24.03.18.
Sad to say that the big Easterly blow we had 2 or 3 weeks ago is still taking its toll on the fishing here at Whitby.
We are having to travel the distance at the moment to find the clearer water and to stand a chance of getting the lads a picking of fish.
Tom Laing and some of his mates chartered the boat last Saturday and after dropping on a couple of spots fairly local, for nothing, we steamed out to the place that nearly always saves the day. A strip of ground well offshore that doesn't get touched that often. The fishing there wasn't exceptional but compared to what was being caught elsewhere inside us we didn't do too bad, all things considered. Only codlings to around 5 lbs but everyone taking a few fish home for the table. Lovely weather helping the day and with more sightings of dolphins all in all a very nice day.
Cheers and tight lines as ever.

Report on-board Wild Frontier 2
Every now and then you get the perfect fishing day. One of mine was on 21/03/2018 on the one and only Wild Frontier. It was a beautiful sunny day with Weymouth Bay being mill pond flat calm. Clem sped off to one of his favoured Western wrecks.. Two and bit hours later we started fishing; first drift, two decent pollack. I was at the front starboard side of the oat with my work colleague and mate next to me. Over the next five or so hours, I caught 13 pollack between 5 and 13 lbs and my mate Dave caught 11. I also caught a bonus cod as well as another club member who caught a bigger cod. The sea state remained flat calm until home time, when the breeze picked up a bit. For most of the day I used a 6" yellowish lure with a straight tail (no paddle). Great day, great company, great result. Thanks Clem

on Mistress Linda / San Gina3 (Poole, Dorset)

Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3
At last we managed to get a few days afloat and the fishing proved very rewarding, on the Saturday we ventured out to the wrecks in what was very challenging conditions far worse than forecast but once there the Pollack fishing was very good with several fish being landed each drift the best of the day went to Ian Napier at 14lb 6 ozs, after a few hrs and plenty of Pollack onboard we chose to head back inshore and see if the Spurdogs were still around. At anchor the fishing started very slow but just as we thought about heading home the Spurdogs started to feed and several fish between 17 and 20lb were landed and quickly returned then that man Ian Napier hooked into a good fish that put his light gear to the test and was rewarded with a PB Spurdog of 24lb 10ozs. Sunday we opted to go after the Spurs again and were duly rewarded with 4 of the Poole Dolphins AC landing PB Spurdogs to 19lb along with a few Rays, spurred on (pardon the pun) by our recent success the crew on Monday wanted to sample the sport and we again headed out to the same area and again were rewarded with more success and another 2 anglers setting new PBs for Spurdogs , due to the very light tackle we were using the strength of the tide forced us to move closer to shore out of the tide and once at anchor we managed a small Turbot and a Brill to round the day off. Overall a very successful weekend and it felt fantastic to actual be at sea fishing instead of looking at weather patterns.

Fishing Report by TERRY BATT
on Vanishing Point-2 (Bradwell Marina, Essex)
25 Mar 2018 by TERRY BATT
Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
Well the fishing drought is over, as the usual; marks start to produce fish once again, and in good numbers..!!!
We fished off-shore on Sunday with a new party for us, a chap called Larry organised the trip (you can read his revue) although it was lovely to see the boys, it was tainted with a little sadness that we only got the party because one of our other top skippers has recently passed away...... Lester Baker who run a very nice boat out of Brightlingsea called Sea-Watch.
But life goes on, and I think Lester would have been proud of his lads not only were they a fantastic crew, but the banter never stopped from start to finish and once they got stuck into the fish they landed 42 good Thornback Rays up to 13 lbs so very busy most of the day, and they brought enough bacon, sausages, and burgers to sink a battleship...lol but with the weather being flat calm it was a most enjoyable day...!!! and the boys got off the Vanishing Point about a stone heavier than they got on.... ha ha ha ..!! we will see you on the next adventure lads with Terry Batt Sports Charters..!!
