  • 27/09/2015 Fishing Report by Malcolm Collins on Just Mary (Christchurch, Dorset)

    27 Sep 2015 by Malcolm Collins

    Report on-board Just Mary

    Hi All, we spent this weekend drifting 'along the front' from Southbourne down to between the Piers and landed some nice eating size Plaice plus others like Red and Tub Gurnard. Bait was rag and squid cocktail on flowing trace rigs, some with beads and/or spoons to 1/0 fine wire hooks. In these Equinox ('equi' meaning equal day and equal night) big Spring tides, the biggest being on Wednesday coming, the last day of September, and with a freshening North East to East to South East winds, we clearly made the right choice from the start.
    With a boat crew of mainly Novices either with hire rods or borrowed rods everyone caught fish and most had something to take home for the table. Thanks, Malc.

  • 09/2015 Fishing Report by Ross Parham on Spot On! (Brixham, Devon)

    Report on-board Spot On!

    As the end of September is approaching Spot On managed a few more trips between the winds recently with some great results.

    Wrecking continues to be very productive with Cod, Ling and Pollock and some great numbers of Bass, have all been landed on board Spot On.

    At anchor we have seen loads of Black Bream along with Conger, Ling and lots of big Scad.

    I had a recent trip to the skerries banks which produced lots of nice plaice with the biggest going 4lb 10oz and again at anchor some good fishing with Blonde and Small eyed rays being caught, other species included a red mullet, whiting, red gurnards, tub gurnards, grey gurnards, dogfish, bull huss and mackerel.

    it must be said that the last 3 trips have thrown up some real monsters for Spot On, a 20lb Cod, 4lb 10oz Plaice, 30lb Ling, 10lb Bass and a huge 19lb Turbot for regular angler Chris from Plymouth.

    Again a big thanks for my sponsors for there continued support and great products they offer you anglers, who are SIDEWINDER lures and TOP RIGS.

    Spot On was again top charter boat from Brixham in this years biggest competition in our area the Torbay Festival.

    2016 diary filling fast so book now to avoid disappointment.

  • 26/09/2015 Fishing Report by Bob Marshall on Duke IV (Ramsgate, Kent)

    26 Sep 2015 by Bob Marshall

    Report on-board Duke IV

    The inshore fishing around Ramsgate is great at the moment with plenty of Skate, Whiting and Cod being caught, still Smoothound and Bass being landed. Catches of Skate remain good with up to 12 being landed aboard Duke IV. The Cod fishing is still patchy although the good numbers of Cod that have turned up so early in the year must be a good omen, we are hoping that this winter will be the best Cod season for many years with fish up to 8lb on the cards. Bait will get harder to find as the winter makes digging more difficult and the top cod bait is large lug bait so preorder the worm to avoid disappointment.
    Pic shows Paul with a nice winter Bass. Still some weekend date's available so get in quickly with your bookings
    Regards Bob Duke IV

  • 09/2015 Fishing Report by Lyle Stantiford on Supanova II (Weymouth, Dorset)

    Sep 2015 by Lyle Stantiford

    Report on-board Supanova II

    Well what a windy August/September it has proved to be!!

    Plenty of cancelled trips unfortunately but you can't fight mother nature.

    When we have been out the inshore fishing at times has proved somewhat tricky, some very nice specimens just hard to find decent numbers of the bream that should be plentiful now. Some sessions are non stop with the bream and the very next day can prove very difficult.

    Bass has been a little patchy but some lovely fish falling to live mackerel and large lures. The Turbot and Brill fishing has been steady when the tides are right with up to 15 fish a session which is a massive improvement on last year.

    The reef and bank fishing at anchor has been fantastic with plenty of decent undulates, blondes, tope, conger, huss all proving great sport. A few competitions lately that saw some cracking fish boated with the WIBAC conger record being broken with a cracking fish of 86lb. The species hunt days threw up to 20+ different species per boat and the rays and flatfish day saw boats boating and returning up to 50 blonde rays.

    The wrecking surprisingly for this time of year has continued to produce a decent run of Cod with the odd Bass thrown in for good measure.

    The next month or so will see continued decent fishing for all inshore species with main focus on Bass, Bream and the imminent arrival of the Squid!!!!

    Pictured is Keith Blanchard from Salisbury with a new PB Bream a cracker of 4lb 2oz.

    Once again a massive thank you to you all who continue to support Weymouth, keeping us the number 1 port in the UK

    Tight lines,

    Lyle
