    Report on-board Ocean Warrior 3

    We haven't reported for a little while, but now after being out of the water for 6 weeks for some maintenance we are up and running again.

    We are back in and have done a couple of good wrecking trips.

    We have had some nice double figured Pollock showing on the deep wrecks. We have also had some early Plaice showing on the inshore marks as well.

    We are looking forward to some good spring weather and some good fishing.

  • 02/2018 Fishing Report by TERRY BATT on Vanishing Point-2 (Bradwell Marina, Essex)

    Feb 2018 by TERRY BATT

    Report on-board Vanishing Point-2

    well fishing continues to improve with some nice spring Cod showing on nearly all trips now up to 11-15 per trip on a good day along with the spring appearance of the Thornback Rays up to 13 lbs so although a bit cold out there as you may know on our vessel Vanishing Point-2 the huge wheelhouse is kept to around 68 degrees all day long as we never turn the heating system off while out at sea, so you can either sit outside in the cold.... or watch your rod from the comfort of your seat in the warm inside.....

    If you fancy a trip call me on : 07768 30 66 46 a few weekend dates still available (not many) but plenty of mid-week dates still available

  • 22/02/2018 Fishing Report by Colin Penny on Flamer IV (Weymouth, Dorset)

    22 Feb 2018 by Colin Penny

    Report on-board Flamer IV

    Dave Metcalf and crew joned Flamer IV for the first of their 2018 two day Angling Breaks. Both days were spent fishing at anchor on banks which produced numerous Rays along with Smooth Hounds, Congers, Whiting and the usual Dogfish and Pouts. Pictured is Jim Birnie with his 12Ib 9oz Undulate Ray. The lads used downtide and uptide methods with squid and mackerel cocktail baits. They are looking forward to their next 2 day Angling Break on Flamer IV in May.

    Weymouth Angling Breaks - Book Now, Don't miss Out,*** NOW TAKING BOOKINGS FOR 2018 ***
    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.
    Planning your trip well in advance is essential you need to arrange your boat booking and your accommodation as early as possible to avoid disappointment, some of my regular groups plan their trips at least 12 months in advance, this allows them to discuss with me the best tides for the type of fishing they are targeting.

  • 19/02/2018 Fishing Report by Rich Cope on Mistress (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    19 Feb 2018 by Rich Cope

    Report on-board Mistress

    The fishing remains steady here at Whitby as it has done all winter. Sorry this report is a bit late in còming for last weekend. We were busy all weekend from friday through to sunday.

    Each day averaged 50/60 codlings to keep with 20-30 chuckbacks too so the rods were nodding away steady all the time.

    Best baits remain unwashed squid and black lug.

    As long as the weather stays settled we will be starting to venture out to wrecks in the next week or so. I have a mini break booked in so charters will resume from Tuesday 27th Feb.

    If youre interested in a trip with me on Mistress here at Whitby, give me a call or text on 07977 436903. Prices start at £5 per hour per person. Tackle and bait can be supplied at cost.

    Feb 2018 by Ross Parham

    Report on-board Spot On!

    A break in the weather meant that we managed to get out mid channel wrecking 4 days in a row.
    Glorious weather all days and accompanied by lots of dolphins which is always great to see.
    Again wrecking proved to be very good with lots of prime pollock being caught every day, plenty of double figurerd fish around up to the high teens.
    We also managed a lovely specimen grey gurnard of 1lb 8oz along with ling, our first cod of the year, pouting, whiting and some bass. (Returned alive quickly)
    This fine fishing should be set to continue for the next month or so.

    Top lures over the 4 days were the skerries Sandeel by Sidewinder.

    Dates are filling fast so if you want a trip on board Brixham's premier charter boat and only catamaran then feel free to contact me.

  • 02/2018 Fishing Report by Sam Cumming on Silver Spray II (Poole, Dorset)

    Feb 2018 by Sam Cumming

    Report on-board Silver Spray II

    Highlight of the month so far has been the arrival of the spur dogs in good numbers. Even on the bigger tides when we can only head offshore to target them a couple of hours either side of slack water the fishing has been full on. The best rig to use is a simple 5 foot flowing trace made of about 80lb mono and a 4/0 circle hook baited with mackerel, sandeel and/or squid. Biggest so far has gone 22lb 8oz but I'm hoping there will be bigger to come in March. Inshore things are quietening down a touch with plenty of whiting left but mostly small fish and some rays dotted around on certain marks. Over the next week, weather permitting, we shall do our first wreck trips out in the Channel to target the big spring pollock. Alderney and Cherbourg trips are filling up fast so drop me an email at info@silverspraycharters.com if you would like a list of remaining dates.
