Fishing Report by Steve Green
on Brigand (Brighton, East Sussex)
17 Feb 2017 by Steve Green
Report on-board Brigand
First charter with the new boat today, what a pleasure to be belting along at 18kn on a glorious Sussex day. The crew make the day of course and having Mason, Robert, Dave, Peter, John & co. aboard was a real pleasure.
Pollock was the plan and after a little searching around we were on them - best of the day this heavy set 17lber skilfully brought to the net by John.
If you want to get out to catch big fish on a big fast boat give me a call.
Best wishes
Steve

Fishing Report by Scott Belbin
on Galloper (Brightlingsea, Essex)
Feb 2017 by Scott Belbin
Report on-board Galloper
Ive not got many trips to report on after having the ‘galloper’ out for a few weeks. She’s undergone a fair overhaul with a precautionary engine reconditioning too. I must admit its been a struggle being trapped on land for so long but hopefully a few missed trips now will pay off over the next few years. I don’t think we’ve missed a great deal to be honest with a combination of cold weather and loads of bait fish such as sprats putting the fish off. I managed to commandeer my dads boat the ‘ Razorbill3’ on a fine day a couple of weeks ago and got one of my parties afloat. The weather was spot on and we even managed to get amongst a few roker. There seems to be a run of decent fish in places at this time of year as ive mentioned before. Graham had two nice double figure fish with the biggest topping out at over 18lbs on dads scales (although I would place it nearer 16lbs to be honest) and a smashing fish any time of year. The ‘Galloper’ now has her engine back in place and she’s looking spanking ready for the season. I have a few spaces coming up in the coming weeks where a raise in temperatures should kick things off for the thorn-backs.

Fishing Report by Ross Parham
on Spot On! (Brixham, Devon)
Jan 2017 by Ross Parham
Report on-board Spot On!
January has been a tough one with only a few days at sea fishing the mid channel wrecks in search of BIG winter Pollock. (Easterly winds forcing most days cancelled).
The trips have been very successful with some great prime hard fighting fish being taken and in good numbers too with early finishes to get the 3+ hours of filleting done!
The photos from just the few trips completed in 2017 are showing real promise for another great year on board Spot On.
Bonus fish have included a few bass, lonesome Cod and some large tub gurnards along with a lobster.
The smaller tides will now see us focus slack water on the big Ling which should be around and with the fantastic sport on the Pollock still going strong, with many double figured fish I hope this continues through February and March until we await the arrival of the Cod.
New for 2017 is a 3 boat Brixham Summer Plaice Competition with some great cash prizes and trophies up for grabs. to be held on June 5th & 6th. Please get in touch if interested.
2017 Calendar is now fully up to date and filling fast, so if there is something that suits yourself please get in touch.
Channel Islands trips and Cornwall deep sea adventure trips also with spaces so why not Join Brixham's Premier charter boat on some great trips with great fishing!
The skerries should now be producing BIG blonde rays with the occasional early Plaice so well worth a try if you want to try something different.
Thanks to Boat Sponsor's Top Rigs and Sidewinder Lures for once again given me there support for anther year.
Pictured is a Lobster caught on a Rhubarb & Custard Sidewinder which was carefully returned after photo.
No trips complete in February 2017 to date yet. View Boats Page

on Cleveland Princess (Lowestoft, Suffolk)

Report on-board Cleveland Princess
This is an update of the last few trips, Saturday 4th was not the best of days bit of ground swell so didnt get out to far only to the south holm but plenty of nice sized Whiting ran back to the stanford channel around 1400 to see if there were a few dabs around this area we only had 4 the Whiting were hitting the baits before the dabs had a chance to,Monday 6th and a much better day so it was out to some ground that we only go to when conditions are good enough as its a bit of a ride some 14 plus miles the back of the cross sands and the dredging area, at this time of the year it is a good bet that Cod come into feed up before spawning but it wasnt to be after 3hrs and not a bite it was back inside a bit to the pickle but much the same in there so another move to outside of the whisler a result 1 dab so over the bank and off corton where the fishing was very good we anchored on the Tick its a mark we use in there as its allways give up some fish and it didnt disapoint plenty of nice Whiting and a few decent dabs,we summed it up that youve got to go and try these areas when conditions are good enough as we might not get another chance for a while with these easterlys that will be with us now for a few days or could be weeks.

Fishing Report by Nigel Lihou
on Optimist (Brixham, Devon)
9 Feb 2017 by Nigel Lihou
Report on-board Optimist
Although Optimist has been out of the water for two weeks it doesn’t stop me getting out with friends for a bit of fishing in between the job list to be done. The Skerries are still producing well with good sizes of Ray, Blonde, Small eyed, Spotted and Thornback with smooth hound the odd Plaice and some good size Whiting there are still a good variety of fish about.
On the wrecks we have been seeing a fair amount of Pollack nothing of vast size but in the 3lb to 6lb range which is nice for those who would like one for the table.
Bookings are trickling in for 2017 so if you have a particular date in mind check the tides and give us a call we will do our best to put you on the fish.
For those of you more interested in watching our wildlife than catching fish we are now running regular bird and wildlife watching trips on Sunday mornings with a local accredited guide, but these do book up fast so best to give us a call, Optimist is still available for charter in the afternoon and for full days Monday to Saturday.
We look forward to welcoming you aboard in 2017. View Boats Page
