  • 14/05/2017 Fishing Report by Les Jones on White Maiden II (Lymington, Hampshire)

    14 May 2017 by Les Jones

    Report on-board White Maiden II

    Three days of wind, rain and sunshine. It's still spring and the inshore fishing is waking up slowly as our sea temperatures begin to rise. Below is Paul from yesterdays trip with a cracking Black Bream of 4lb 4ozs that came along very early in the tide. The big Bream was spent and completely empty. The day was breezy and a bit lumpy with very few other boats deciding to go but the experienced Hopp Inn lads fished well for the best Black Bream of the season so far. Other catches were more Black Bream, a 4lb Bull Huss, Wrasse, Dogs and Pout.

    On Saturday a crew of marine biologists really enjoyed their day despite the wet start and then breezy conditions, all fished in comfortable inshore waters to catch some good fish. Nick started with a well marked Undulate Ray at 9lb 8oz. We tested for mackerel and caught Garfish. In the afternoon we found Smoothounds feeding well in the ebb. Nick below caught a nice double before being upstaged by Matt with his cracking 14lb'er. All fish were returned to fight again

    Report on-board Flamer IV

    The latest Reef/Bank trip provided some good sport with Bull huss,Conger, Tope, Smooth hounds, Undulate, Thornback and Spotted Rays being caught along with the usual Dogfish and Pouts. John Billett did particularly well catching a 14Ib Bull Huss and a 25Ib 1oz Tope which gave him a tug on his tackle and poor old John broke his rod in the process of landing the Tope, how ever John did win a Flamer IV catch of the day trophy for his efforts. John is pictured with his Tope.

  • 12/05/2017 Fishing Report by TERRY BATT on Vanishing Point-2 (Bradwell Marina, Essex)

    12 May 2017 by TERRY BATT

    Report on-board Vanishing Point-2

    We had a great day on Friday 12th May with our very dear friends
    Nigel Farage, Dave Barham , John Rawle, Nicola, and myself Terry Batt, on board our super charter boat Vanishing Point-2.
    we were fishing for Thornback Rays and general fishing and had the most wonderful day.... with up to 50 Rays caught and most returned, we were mainly fishing for sport, good mates enjoying a day off from the hustle and bustle of every day life “especially” poor old Nigel... the paparazzi cant get to him out at sea...!! so a lovely day was had by all..!! the talk was of cricket, football, boxing, fishing , and general day to day ordinary chit chat no politics a day off......
    At slack water we all had a go at shooting some clay's and Nigel was pretty good..!! John couldn't get used to my Berretta , but Dave Barham shot out of his skin hardly missing a clay ( crafty dog) but I don't wish to brag I didn't miss a single clay...!! so Dave and I have a grudge match....lol
    After the days fishing and shooting we retired to the Green Man Pub just around the corner from Bradwell Marina, courtesy of Arthur T who owns the marina and a great supporter of
    Nigel Farage, and we thank Arthur for arranging Michael to receive us out of normal hours...! but Michael does get something out of it for himself and notoriety for his pub....
    (you owe me a pint....lol) but we would like to thank all the staff at the green man which include Vicky the best barmaid in Essex..! who treats everyone the same no special favours, and Nigel loved it... just one of the guys..!!..
    Well next time we have Nigel down with us it is quite possible he may be "accompanied” by his good friend and comedian
    Jim Davidson ... not definite but possible ..! so we will have to see where we go for after the trip drinks on that day... ????
    I would like to thank John Rawle for basically running the trip, expert as ever at the helm and his expert advice on baiting and casting which Nigel found very helpful and rewarding..!!, and also to Bob Cox who sadly couldn't make the trip on Friday but did join us in the Green Man for a drink, so nice to see the legendary Cox & Rawle among our other guest,
    Nigel Farage, and Dave Barham, sitting at one table, I felt most privileged to be sitting at the table with my wife Nicola and able to call all of these people my friends ..... it don't get much better.
    If any of you fancy a days fishing and Clay Pigeon shooting as do our Celebrities please call on...... 07768 30 66 46 to make a booking makes for a great corporate day out and team building event.... 100% tax deductible...!!!
    All the best
    Terry & Nicola.... (Vanishing Point-2)

  • 14/05/2017 Fishing Report by Malcolm Collins on Just Mary (Christchurch, Dorset)

    14 May 2017 by Malcolm Collins

    Report on-board Just Mary

    Hi All, despite the persistent Easterly winds a week of trips have found us on local marks, Southbourne Rough and Poole Rocks seeking out some nice prime condition hard fighting Black Bream. Taking only males for the table and releasing females still full of roe unharmed back to the Sea. A week spent in good company and not always in ideal conditions but still the fish come to the landing net ! My star of the week is Neville from London a septuagenarian who drives an AC Cobra replica and loves his Inshore fishing on 'Just Mary' with his 'classic' fishing tackle still doing the 'business'. Just proving that age or tackle choice is no bar to catching good fish on 'Just Mary' from Poole who is herself a 'Classic' Angling Charter Boat of the Seas. All the best to You All, ta Malc.....see you soon !

    Report on-board Duke IV

    The Belgium fiching club are back in Ramsgate fishing every day aboard Duke IV. On Thursday they landed Smoothounds to 9lb along with Skate and some nice Whiting, unusual for this time of year. Frozen crab caught the Hounds with Herring for the Skate. Today we have headed north looking for the Hounds but are catching plenty of Skate, mostly Male fish on Herring bait. Still spaces available aboard Duke IV for groups or individuals. Call me on 07715050851 to get out fishing and make the most of this very productive time of year.
    Pic shows Henriec with a good Hound.

  • 01/06/2018 Fishing Report by Roger Lennon on Skerry Belle (Ramsgate, Kent)

    1 Jun 2018 by Roger Lennon

    Report on-board Skerry Belle

    Some terrific fish on board the Skerry Belle. With the best fish definately going to Wayne Milton for his monster bass, weighing in at 19 lb 4 oz. This fish is 5 oz off the British boat record and the biggest UK boat caught bass since 1987. So as you can see that really is a great achievement (see photo).
    Our best blonde on board so far is 24 lb. We had a near record sea scorpion which gave us just short of a record. Some of our thornbacks have been nudging the 18 lb mark. The thornbacks are here in abundance, with again, over 20 per trip not uncommon.
    As spring approaches we will start paying our attention to the wrecks on the Goodwins where we should see good numbers of coding bass, channel whiting blondes gurnard plaice and most other species. Remember we cater for walk ons, small groups, whole boat bookings up to 10 anglers. Remember all equipment, baits and tuition is included on all trips, unlimited tea and coffee and hot pies for lunch. Walk in toilet, hot and cold running water, heating and seating inside for all.
    Now taking bookings for summer wrecks
    Tight Lines,
