  • 11/2016 Fishing Report by Sam Cumming on Silver Spray II (Poole, Dorset)

    Nov 2016 by Sam Cumming

    Report on-board Silver Spray II

    Other than a couple of late trips to chase the flatfish around we have started to concentrate our efforts on the inshore cod fishing around the Needles, Isle of White. The flattie trips were much later than I've ever bothered with before but both produced high numbers of fish up into the 20's. Not all monsters, as you may expect for so late in the year, but good fun on the light gear with the best turbot going 8lb and the best brill 6lb 4oz. Over to the east of Poole the cod have started to arrive in numbers with the best day producing 6 fish to 18lb 8oz. Apart from a few spotted rays and tiny strap congers the mixed fish have been fairly thin on the ground compared to past years, until today that is when we returned over 30 eels between 10 and 40lb. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come, although they aren't everyone's favourite thing to catch it does ensure that people change their baits regularly when they are getting mauled every 10 minutes. A new addition to our winter cod trips has been the squid fishing in Poole Bay which has produced some massive squid up to 6lb. You tend to need the right conditions for them to feed but, depending on your preference, they either make great bait or a tasty bit of dinner. This next neap tide should hopefully see some bigger cod arrive, you never know when that monster might show up. Remember we are running our usual offer that the first person to catch a 30lb+ inshore cod this winter gets a free trip to Cherbourg in 2017.

  • 19/11/2016 Fishing Report by jon old on High Flyer 2 (Great Yarmouth, Norfolk)

    19 Nov 2016 by jon old

    Report on-board High Flyer 2

    Todays trip first for two weekends due to the bad weather we been having typical for our busiest period! Headed down with the other boats down to the Roads due to south west wind for a bit of shelter as wind against tide to start catching start of the flood . Straight away into whiting as i predicted of all sizes , only different species today was a large pouting sort you get round the summer wrecks and a plump dab both returned. Rest of the day was whiting few nice keepers among them but no cod for anyone today and none for any of the other vessels from speaking to various skippers but one good thing water is turning colder for our cod as no skate or doggies so good sign. Big thanks to Daron who owns Walnut Tree Pub in Deeping St James who organised the trip everyone pictured here , was a brilliant day weather wise , fishing was busy with the constant whiting and of course pub banter. Many thanks guys looking forward to our next one appreciate you making the journey. All the best . Jon (High Flyer)

  • 19/11/2016 Fishing Report by Philip Higgins on Mistress Linda / San Gina3 (Poole, Dorset)

    19 Nov 2016 by Philip Higgins

    Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3

    The sea fishing trips from Poole have been hampered by the weather - well it is that time of year, when we have managed to find a weather window the fishing has been slower than I would expect but it is good to see the increase in Channel Whiting numbers each trip, the usual dogfish have been hammering the baits in amongst a few Congers, Rays and the odd Cod each trip. A quick last couple of drifts of the day on the way home from the deep sea marks produced a surprising Plaice haul of 23 fish to 2lb which for mid November was quite an achievement.
    All the best

    Report on-board Skylark

    We've not done a report for a while with the weather making it hard to get out and when we have been getting our fishing has been steady away.

    Today the lads had a great day for uptiding with every Mark producing a good amount of fish

    Overall about 70 size fish boated but several released back to fight another day.

    Best bag today was over 40lb and heaviest fish was just shy of 6lb

    The main bulk of the catch was Cod but a few dogfish, pouting and bull huss were also caught

    Best baits was squid, lug and cart

    Great set of lads on today with plenty of friendly banter as always

  • 14/11/2016 Fishing Report by Steve Green on Brigand (Brighton, East Sussex)

    14 Nov 2016 by Steve Green

    Report on-board Brigand

    After what seems like an age Brigand was back fishing yesterday & today..... At last!

    Yesterday had Adam and co. Aboard, tough day with the wind shifts from S to N in such quick succession but they toughed it out and we moved around quite a bit thoughout the day. No Cod but plenty of Plaice, Dabs and some sizeable Whiting. Not as good as we are used to but all boats were struggling in those conditions.

    Today out with good friends so plenty of laughs and Bass, Plaice, Dabs & Whiting kept us busy on the rods

    Jan & Feb dates loaded which will be peak Cod season so don't leave it until the last minute. If you have a date in mind give me a call and I will do my best to adjust calendar and fit you in.

    Best wishes

    Steve

  • 11/2016 Fishing Report by Trevor Crawley on Girl Mandy (Southend-On-Sea, Essex)

    Nov 2016 by Trevor Crawley

    Report on-board Girl Mandy

    Here we go on putting to sea sat 5th Nov another charter boat called me up to complain about a big red beam trawler going up and down where he was fishing also where we were heading due to to bad weather, i already know of this clown he was shrimp fishing but at the same time killing lots of skate on trying to call the said vessel there was a radio silence on going through several other channels of which he should have been monitoring he still didnt answer not only was he working up where we were sheltering due to severe weather but failing to show what he was doing. We all have to work together in this river but it seams he could not give a toss the boats name is Seiont A run by the Barns family after failing to speak to me via the vhf we asked Vts London were they aware of the trawler they said no i then informed them of his details and also not transmitting a Ais signal i thought that was the point of monitoring our fish stocks not if they dont turn their systems on. Further to this instance i was informed i had been slagged off on farce book or some other such waste of space site where idiots put up remarks if you wish to slag me off do it over the radio or phone i dont hide myself behind stupid sites where people can slander other people off,and one remark made by his son was that i reported him to fisheries this is not the case it was port control who want to be aware of all traffic in the Thames if said vessel persists in slagging me off then i will take matters further
