Fishing Report by Ross Parham
on Spot On! (Brixham, Devon)
Aug 2017 by Ross Parham
Report on-board Spot On!
Well August has certainly been an up and down month with both the weather and fishing.
But as the month draws to an end the months notable tally's are as follows:
Blue sharks to 113lb,
Conger to 83lb,
John Dory to 4lb 4oz,
Plaice to 3lb,
Tope to 35lb,
Pollock to 14lb,
Cod to 26lb,
Ling to 28lb 8oz,
Black bream to 5lb.
A lot more different species has been landed which include: Turbot, brill, bull Huss, whiting, red gurnard, tub gurnard, grey gurnard, mackerel, launce, blonde ray, small eyed ray, spotted ray, garfish, pouting, dogfish, coalfish.
So although August has been tough it has also produced some truly stunning specimen fish. September is the Torbay festival which is always good fun and I'm looking forward to it already.
Pictured this month is Cyril Williams with his first attempt at shark fishing and landing this fine fish of 113lb, he also landed a cracking eel of 66lb along with other firsts for him which included tope, well done Cyril.
Big thanks again to Sidewinder lures and Top Rigs for there great products which help land these great catches.

Fishing Report by Bob Marshall
on Duke IV (Ramsgate, Kent)
25 Aug 2017 by Bob Marshall
Report on-board Duke IV
Great fishing off Ramsgate for now with plenty of quality Smoothounds, Bass and Skate. The Mackerel have become a bit hit or miss with dirty water making life difficult. The Hounds have been mostly coming to live prawn which we are able to source here at Ramsgate. Whiting are starting to show now letting us know that winter is just around the corner, still hoping that a few Cod will show this year with October being the month when things happen. This is the time of year the large Bass can be expected although the 6lbers we have been catching make a fine meal. Still spaces available for whole boat or individual booking aboard Duke IV so give me a call and let's go fishing.

Fishing Report by Rich Ward
on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Some lovely, good quality fish showing up for some of the lads on the last few trips on the Shy-Torque III
The ground has been fishing fairly well with some good sized ling appearing with weights to just over 14 lbs. These bigger fish coming from the ground just 3 miles from shore. Plenty of fishing time when we work so close to home!!
A few of days ago we had to work very close to shore on a corporate day trip with a group of lads from Smiths Contractors from Huddersfield and Leeds. The wind was too fresh to venture offshore and we found ourselves fishing some 500 yards from the shore at one point !! The lads and lass pulled a few nice codling up on the baited Hokkais and a load of mackerel and were very happy with their day.
On the days we have managed to venture further afield we have been seeing catches of 70 plus fish on board plus loads of mackerel too.
Late Summer competition starts 2nd September. Some places left.
If you fancy a trip with us please call me on the boat number 07733 233352.
Home number 01947 603472.

on Wave Dancer (Liverpool, Merseyside)

Report on-board Wave Dancer
We took a long trip today to get to our fishing spot today, we steamed for about 1 3/4 hours to get there and we weren't disappointed. First mackerel was on board thanks to Ross within the time it took to drop his feathers over the side. The first one was then followed by at least 3-4 hundred more. One of the anglers just fished for mackerel, when the skipper Karl had had enough of gutting his fish for him he had 27lb of mackerel and there was still 1/4 of his bucket to go. We had novice anglers on with us today who had a great time pulling mackerel,tub and red gurnard,doggies,whiting and flatties all day.

Fishing Report by Mike Willmott
on Sea-Juicer (Portsmouth, Hampshire)

Report on-board Sea-Juicer
Went out on Sunday on Rob Hickin's Sea Juice. The plan was to do a days basing so on the way out we stopped to pick up some mackerel for live bait. Rob suggested that we put the anchor in until the tide was running well enough to drift for the bass. The 9 of us enjoyed a couple of hrs of general fishing and continuing to pick up live bai. Then it was time to go after what we were all after so up anchor and travel a further 4 miles out until we reached Robs selected spot. Over the next couple of hours we all caught our single bass to keep and returning a number of smaller hungry bass to fight on a different day. The bass were averaging around 4 to 5 lbs with the biggest weighing in at 8lb. We finished off we an hour of general ground fishing then set off for home all very satisfied with our days fishing. I can certainly highly recommend Rob he is a great skipper with a great sense of humour. Try his site for individual days or to hire his boat.

Fishing Report by Clive Hodges
on Ocean Warrior 3 (Brighton, East Sussex)
22 Aug 2017 by Clive Hodges
Report on-board Ocean Warrior 3
A fantastic day drift fishing with Dave Elliott on Ocean Warrior. Drifting the banks off of Brighton we have over 50 turbot and brill along with gurnards, ray, bream and mackerel. Most of the turbot were between 3lb and 6lb and the biggest brill was 4lb. We also had a 16lb undulate ray and some big mackerel to 3lb 8oz.
Dave and his crew man worked hard to find us the mackerel for bait and then the flats. A welcome cup of tea helped refresh us on the slack when the bites slowed down a little.
Can't wait to get out there again
