  • 06/2017 Fishing Report by LESTER BAKER on Seawatch1 (Brightlingsea, Essex)

    Jun 2017 by LESTER BAKER

    Report on-board Seawatch1

    June continued to see huge catches of Thornback ray in the Thames estuary area,I have fished this area commercially since 1980 and never seen such large amounts on the grounds.I can only assume that the lack of quota allocation for the few commercial fishing boats left in the area has had a very positive effect on the population, obviously most of the ones we catch are returned alive with just a handful kept for the table.

    June has seen the number of summer species increase daily with Smoothhounds,Bass,a few Tub Gurnard and the first of the mackerel starting to show up,it has been great to target something other than Ray's and offer our anglers a change, still a few Ray's here and there some days but tailing off for this springs spawning but will return a bit further offshore in a few weeks time in smaller numbers as we seem to catch them throughout the year now.

    Seawatch has as I hoped a few years ago become a very busy charter boat and June has seen Seawatch take on Mark Davey as a a second skipper to cover the days I am unable to fit in myself (old and tired ) Mark has been a keen angler all his life and run a charter boat before.Mark also spent several years as skipper of the local fisheries patrol boat and knowledge he gained from grab sampling the grounds has brought a new dimension to my experience and given answers to some of the theories I have formed over the years.I have posted a few photos from Marks last couple of trips some ,nice mixed fishing.Mark is a really friendly guy and happy to help and we will both endeavour to give you the best day out that we can.
    Remember only a couple of days to go and you can actually take a bass for dinner ( Should make a few anglers happy!

    All the best and mind how you go,Lester

    Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3

    Update on my last report, after sending pics of all the Undulates landed to the Undulate Ray project for identification it proved that the same Ray was landed twice during the afternoon 1st time around 13.30 then again approximately 1 hr later and it fell to the same angler both times Albion SAC angler Allan Johanson. Check out this project and send in pics of your Undulate Rays for them to analyse.
    All the best

  • 25/06/2017 Fishing Report by Malcolm Collins on Just Mary (Christchurch, Dorset)

    25 Jun 2017 by Malcolm Collins

    Report on-board Just Mary

    Hi All, three consecutive All Day Hire Rod Charters and three challenging days of weather in Swanage Bay, which really was THE ONLY sensible option given the big ebbing Spring tides and strong SW winds. Swanage Bay and the Purbeck Hills give us protection and less 'reach' for the power of the waves making anchoring reasonably tolerable for fishing at anchor. Three good days of fishing with EVERYONE CATCHING as usual and a variety of species including Undulate Ray, Small Eyed Ray, Spotted Ray, Bream, Gurnard, Dogs and Mackerel plus Bass including a stonking Double Figure female fish of 10lb 8oz for Paul Denton from Leamington Spa in the West Midlands. His group led by Nick Setchell christened by me as the 'Brummie Beach Boys' travelled down on Sunday morning to enjoy a day at Sea. Undulates, Dogs, Gurnard, good size Mackerel and then the whopping Bass, surely every Anglers Dream ? Paul however is not a Sea Angler, too far from WHERE HE LIVES so he prefers Carp fishing but even he was impressed by this fish. Measured at over 80cm, weighed, photos and released to breed again. Caught on hire rod gear, my traces, mackerel fillet and over a rocky mark on 'Just Mary' from Poole. For three days I fished this mark and it never let me down, had good fish here before and experience is what makes all the difference. We won ! Thanks, Malc and 'Just Mary'.

  • 06/2017 Fishing Report by Ross Parham on Spot On! (Brixham, Devon)

    Jun 2017 by Ross Parham

    Report on-board Spot On!

    Well its safe to say since my last report the fishing has been very up and down with some days pulling my hair out to find a couple boxes of white fish and other days the fish just hectic.
    we still await the arrival of cod in decent numbers and are catching them regularly now on most trips.

    Some great weather over Guernsey on our last couple of trips with again fishing for flatties illusive but we did manage some fine double figured turbot and brill to 6lb 12oz, my bacon saved by the great black bream fishing over guernsey at present with fish up to 4lb.

    My last trip on the skerries was disappointing with only small plaice to show for our efforts and a few rays, certainly not the numbers we should be having for this time of year, but as a 9hour trip for just £350 for the boat its just nice to wet a line on the banks I suppose.

    Hopefully things will pick up soon and I look forward to the first shark fishing trips this year and maybe a tuna or 2! who knows!

    More Guernsey trips planned also and bookings filling for 2018 fast so hurry if you want a date!

    Many thanks to Top rigs for there great bream rigs doing the business and looking forward to trying out the new conger rigs they have made me.
    Also Sidewinder for there continued support and amazing, tough, durable lures that consistently bring results.
    Top colours so far this year: skerries sand eels and Jet pink.

    Spot On is Brixham's only catamaran with speed, comfort and results!!
