Fishing Report by Ross Parham
on Spot On! (Brixham, Devon)
Apr 2016 by Ross Parham
Report on-board Spot On!
April seems to have continued the trend of the 'NE & E' direction winds which has meant a lot of lost days at sea for Spot On of Brixham.
However on the occasion we have managed to squeeze a trip or 2 in the fishing has been very up and down to be honest. Some days producing quality fish, some days producing quantity of fish and some days have been just bumper days with it all mixed together.
It has been a great year so far for Ling for Spot On with already many fish in the 20lb+ mark and a couple of 30lb+ mark also boated.
We are seeing more and more cod each trip with our last wreking trip seeing 5 boated so this is early for them so lets hope its another great year for the cod for Spot On like the last few years have been.
A lonely Coalfish has also made an appearance making one angler very happy as he has spent a lifetime trying to catch one.
Most of the fish have been coming to Sidewinders with a few Long caught on bait.
Thanks to sidewinders again for there sponsorship and continued support.
A 2 day 'red eye' Guernsey trip was squeezed in and I am glad to say the food is still great at the La Perla restaurant, wreck fishing wasn't bad either with each angler taking home plenty of fillets that were prepared by crew man Phil as usual.
Hopefully May will bring some settled weather as we have a few Guernsey trips booked in and the calendar is nearly full so my fingers and toes are crossed for some nice weather.
Pictured is not something you see every day, a drift with Sidewinder lures producing 3 Ling all over 20lb in weight each, we would have had a couple more but they bit through the trace line's during the fight.
Remember there is only one Catamaran that operates from Brixham and only one 'Spot On', Brixham's premier charter boat.

Fishing Report by Sam Cumming
on Silver Spray II (Poole, Dorset)
Apr 2016 by Sam Cumming
Report on-board Silver Spray II
Fishing on the drift has been most of our days out over the last month, either on the wrecks or on the sand for the flatties. The abundance of herring spread out over the ground has been a good source of fresh bait to help target the turbot. Plenty of fish coming to the net but it's also good to see anglers getting involved in catch and release to keep numbers up for the future. We have managed our first bream of the year but for the first time ever it didn't come from the inshore reefs. It took a squid bait whilst anchored up on a wreck about 30 miles off, at 3lb 8oz it is probably one of the bigger bream we have had to open the season with. Elsewhere on the wrecks the pollock continue to provide good sport and we have also had the first few cod up to about the 8lb mark. Out on a flat calm day yesterday we were also treated to the rare sight of a coalfish amongst the pollock. Next week we shall be heading across to Alderney for the first time this season.

on Vanishing Point-2 (Bradwell Marina, Essex)
17 Apr 2016 by TERRY BATT
Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
Sorry it's a little late, but here is the report from Sundays trip....!
We had a bit of a mix and match on the boat, as Troy Botterell usually has a full boat on his own, but for whatever reason 4 of his usual anglers couldn't make the trip on Sunday so troy asked me and Nic if we could get some more anglers, so we called a few of our regulars and they jumped at the chance, and as we have such nice people from all walks of life, we new they would get along just fine, and the banter would fly as usual, and everyone would join in with no offence taken..... although I took a fair bit myself this trip....Grrrrr,,!!! (well deserved though..tee he).
But on with the fishing..... we got of to a flying start with Troy hooking up within the first few minutes of the trip.
We decided to start off on Sunday where we finished the day before, as you might of seen we did well with the Pete Marron Family and friends, and it doesn't always pan out that one day will fish as good as the last, but with no big jump in the tides they were almost the same height, it was worth a try...
As I say Troy hooked up very quick into the trip and fish started to come to the boat from all directions, and although not as manic as the week before, there was a steady stream of fish coming all day...
At slack water most of the guys requested we set up the clay shooting.
Well these guys were the first to try the new Mk-2 clay trap which now is mounted on a sub-frame which oscillates left to right, and has a ram arm at the back to rise and fall, so if you think your good..... think again... this is the Godzilla of clay traps...lol but if you find it too difficult, we can just launch them off the stern port quarter, so a bit easier...
But after a hard fought shoot out, little Paul emerged the winner of the "VANISHING POINT-2 TOP GUN" trophy... well done mate good shooting, I think your score was 19 out of 25 clays?? then there was a shoot off between Tony and Paul Kitley they were both on 11 each, so I got 4 cartridges out enough for two shoots each, this time it was on the oscillating setting...!!! and whoever hit one/two would win the silver medal, and the third place would get the bronze... it turned out Tony hit one clay and missed one, and Paul Kitley sadly missed both clays. so we then had our final result.... outright winner... little Paul centre, second was Tony, and third place was Big Paul.... great shooting, and great fun, I think you all did well coz it aint easy to hit them bad boys from a boat...!! if you think it is... best you come and try and win the trophy ...!!!!
But even though one or two did not shoot, I could hear the net going out along the starboard side as fish were still being landed over slack water... a really good day with a great crowd of guys..
Well done everyone, look forward to next month.... be looking for the Hounds I think then, as one or two are just starting to show up now, peeler crab's and getting going now, and we will soon be harvesting Hermit crab's so lots to look forward to, and of course on the smaller tides we are going well off to hunt the elusive big Tope...!!! we now have quite a few trips lined up for these large predators just hope the Mackerel turn up this year....
(if we are not banned from landing them)
I must say that on Monday, it was like a different stretch of water.. a big jump it the height of the tide, and the fish were much harder to catch, it's as if someone threw a light switch, and they didn't want to know, we had to work very hard to land a dozen..!!! but the boys were pleased with there day, but when you consider we landed 12 fish in the first 2 hours of the trips just days before, you see how when you get a big jump in the tides it has a big affect on the fishing, they haven't gone anywhere, they just wont feed.... funny little creatures....
Ok........................... we find ourselves with a completely empty boat for this coming Sunday... No party.. so if there is a party of anglers who want to go.... just call ... 07768306646 and......... make my day.!! (I love Dirty Harry films) ... Tight lines..!!! View Boats Page
