Fishing Report by Philip Higgins
on Mistress Linda / San Gina3 (Poole, Dorset)
22 Oct 2016 by Philip Higgins
Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3
The Albion SAC usually fish on a Sunday but this year have also done a few Saturdays and thankfully they did as Sunday's forecast was 20kt + easterly winds. The fishing was as predicted plenty of Plaice, Dabs, Gurnards and for Keith Trim another nice Brill this followed one caught last weekend, earlier in the week Mackeral had returned and were caught in good numbers only to disappear quickly. As dark descends Squid can be caught near the Piers. Good to see a few Channel Whiting making an appearance as well
The IOW Cod marks are starting to produce so now is the time to check the Mistress Linda availability schedule and book a trip, during Nov Dec and Jan I will be running a few Flounder trips for those enthusiasts so if you would like to join please call.
look forward to seeing you soon

Fishing Report by Phil White
on Chinook 3 (Bradwell Marina, Essex)

Report on-board Chinook 3
HERE COME THE COD !
Inshore
Well good news, the first cod are starting to show up, most have been reported along the North Essex coastline, the best so far was a cracking fish of 12 lb caught on the Walton charter boat Misty Lady on Saturday, these early fish will soon be joined by more as these big spring tides take off and by next weekend I would expect to see quite a few more, best baits are squid and lug.
There are a lot more Thornbacks showing up in all areas with one charter boat reporting over 60 on Saturday, a lot of these fish are small which is a good sign for the future.
The piers and Estuaries have been fishing well with small codling, good whiting and Thornbacks all showing up.
There are more better whiting showing with several fish around 1 lb reported, best baits for these lovely little fish are lug and mackerel strip.
Offshore
There are still only odd better fish further off, however there should be more showing soon as we get into November and the sea temperature drops. Best reported at 18lb although this cant be verified.
There are lots of small thornbacks everywhere and plenty of bigger ones too, a few dogfish and whiting.
Prospects are excellent, there should be more cod showing up in the next few weeks with the real prospect of some bigger fish coming in.

Fishing Report by Sam Cumming
on Silver Spray II (Poole, Dorset)
Oct 2016 by Sam Cumming
Report on-board Silver Spray II
Although I haven't quite got round to doing the first trip to the Isle of White for the cod and whiting it is certainly feeling a bit more wintery this month. For the last couple of weeks wind from the east or northeast has kept us on our toes. Despite similar forecasts for high northeast winds and rain, we managed to get 3 out of 4 days in on our last trip to Alderney and Cherbourg this season. Fishing was good with 18 species coming to the boat over the 3 days. Highlight of the trip had to be a session at anchor on a wreck on the last day as we came back across the channel in an easterly 4. I've always heard lots of mythical stories of anglers catching big turbot when fishing for congers in front of a wreck but never seen one myself until now. Simon Ringrose, using a whole mackerel flapper on a heavy trace, landed a superb 16lb 4oz turbot to start the session off. The guys then got stuck into plenty of ling and congers followed by some decent bream as the tide cut away. Further inshore anglers have been getting stuck into plenty of tope and rays on the banks as well as the late run of bream on some of the reef marks. Last trip down for flats this weekend along with the first up to the Needles for the cod.
