Fishing Report by Sam Cumming
on Silver Spray II (Poole, Dorset)

Report on-board Silver Spray II
I'll start this monthly report over the other side of the Channel in Alderney as that’s where both Silver Spray's have just returned from yesterday. A good few days mixed fishing to report, slightly hampered by the weather on the last day. We started the trip of with some nice tope on the anchor half way across, mackerel have really been in abundance all over the area we cover so it makes a spur of the moment anchoring session a lot easier when you don't have to worry about the bait. We even managed to find a few pollock on the wrecks which has been a tough ask of late. Around the Island itself we had both turbot and brill on the banks but catch rates aren't what anglers have become accustomed to over the last few years so its best kept to half a day to keep bordem levels down and interest up. We then moved over to target bream which went very well with good numbers of fish in varying sizes and plenty of double hook ups which always gets the rod tips bouncing. Quite often on these multi day trips there is one fish that stands out above the rest, on this trip there were a few. Day one saw Les Traynor land a porbeagle shark of around 20lb on a sideinder lure, the fish took the lure just under the surface and was released after a quick photo. One of our targets at this time of year are couches sea bream, a tropical looking snapper-like fish which are bright pink and blue. They are fairly rare usually so it was a surprise to see 3 caught across the last 2 days of the trip. Tony Lees managed to catch 2 of them up to 2lb using a flowing trace and a 2/0 circle hook baited with squid head. Elsewhere on our side of the water the bass fishing has really heated up, the fish taking a mixture of lures fished up through the water and live scad fished tightly to the bottom. And last but not least the plaice fishing is coming along nicely with most sessions seeing constant activity if you can get a steady drift speed going. We even managed a 5lb cod on the plaice gear, not sure whether it is a late winter cod or an early one? Won't be long and we will be thinking about anchoring up with the big squid baits, check your diaries and getting booking those spaces.

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

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Hi all,
Been a while since we reported what with the summer competition being on and also me taking a well earned break to Cornwall with my partner.
The fishing has been so up and down this year it really is crazy! A few days at sea with some fairly good catches followed by some poor weather days and some poor catches. All in all, the same as ever then I guess!!
The summer competition went well for the Shy-Torque anglers with a good number of daily prize winners across the 3 week event. Brian Robinson fished with us and held the top place for nearly a fortnight with a lovely ling of 15lb 4oz. It was finally beaten by 2 heavier fish at the end. His fish did however win him an equal 3rd place prize of £375.00 so a very well done to him for that. A big congratulations to my mate Paul on Trot On for getting the winning fish again this year!
There have been a good number of species caught this last couple of weeks. The one that is missing for us this year sadly is the porbeagle. We have had them on on 4 occasions but each fish has slipped us!! Luck on the day I guess.
Some lovely additions to the Shy-Torque picture gallery here on CBUK so have a browse.
The September competition is approaching fast now with just over 2 weeks to go. We still have some room left so if you fancy a bash please give me a call on any of the contact numbers or drop me a mail.
The picture inset is my nephew Ben and some of his mates who fished with us today. They had a great days fishing gathering some 70 fish or so white fish with an additional 150 mackerel!! Best fish fell to Ben on the last drop. A lovely cod of 12 lbs taken on a strip of fresh mackerel. Ben is 2nd from the right next to my son Adam.
Cheers and tight lines to one and all.
