Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3
June fished really well from Poole with many excellent catches of Cod and Pollack, July has started with a 'bang' and the quality of the Cod has improved with many double figure fish and several over 20lb being landed, Plaice are being caught in good numbers with some nice size fish amongst them. Tope are providing good sport on light gear and to add to the fun we are operating Ray trips using spinning rods which tests the anglers skills and patience but it is rewarding.

Fishing Report by Dave Builth
on Upholder (Amble, Northumberland)

June Catch Report
Catch report from my website www.ambleboatcharter.com
The Fishing still remains to be the best has been for years,
Anglers are averaging 10 Codlings a piece to keep with many smaller fish being returned. Despite an abundance of Northerly and Easterly winds and strong westerly winds to clear the water the Fishing in June has been excellent.
The first Mackerel was caught on June 4th with the best in June being caught By Bill Jenkinson and weighed in at 2lb.
It’s been quite common for Anglers to catch 2 and 3 Codlings at a time (see photo ).
The best Pollock so far this year was caught by Richie from Washington which weighed 8.5lb, the photo does not do the fish justice. There were 76 Codling Kept up to 6lb and 58 Codling retuned by 7 anglers.
The best Cod so far this year was caught by Andrew Mackie and weighed 12lb (see photo ).
It’s a bit early for Ling the best was caught by Alan from the Southend SAC from Carlisle and weighed 8.5lb.
The Civil Service Sports Council SAC fished their annual qualifying competition and posted their results below on the NESA website,
Six members entered the Civil Service regional qualifier fished aboard the Upholder out of Amble on Wednesday 3rd June, from which the top 3 would represent the North East at the National Final in Poole. Looking at the forecast last weekend it was strong winds on Monday & Tuesday before dropping off on Wednesday, XCweather was again spot on and we headed out into a flat sea with a westerly breeze behind us. What followed can only be described as a codfest as we caught them throughout the day on all sorts of baits and lures.
The competition is points based with a limit on how many you can record for any one species,this rewards the angler who can catch more species, however there were that many cod it was hard to catch anything else.
All anglers maxed out at 15 cod (60 points) and it was a few stray species to decide the places, which were
1st Ian Mitchell 15 cod, 2 pouting, 1 coalfish & 1 dab 80 points
2nd Barry Robinson 15 cod, 1 pouting, 1 coalfish & 1 wrasse 75 points
3rd Dave McKenzie 15 cod, 2 wrasse, 1 poor cod 75 points
Overall there was about 150 cod caught between 2 & 4lb of which 45 were kept with the others being released to fight another day.
Dave put us on to the fish and we all enjoyed his company & banter, but not his latest taste of music (Barbra Streisand) so once again we all appreciate his efforts on the day. View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Scott Belbin
on Galloper (Brightlingsea, Essex)

Report on-board Galloper
June as ever has been a busy month aboard the ‘GALLOPER’. Its one of my favourite months as the fishing can be so varied. There are lots of species available to us at this time of year depending on conditions and we started with a few big hounds.
Last month had finished with the arrival of these big fish and the fishing continued into this month with a few days of great fishing. We saw lots of double figure fish and in my opinion these are hard to beat for fight. We often catch them in just a few feet of water where they fight like fury. They can’t go down so they have no choice but to tear off in all directions as well as swimming straight back at the boat and often lapping the boat before we get them in. as you can see from the picture we were busy at times with these three big girls coming aboard at the same time. all three were returned alive shortly after this shot as are all smooth-hounds aboard the 'GALLOPER'.
its not all big fish though and we have spent several days catching good numbers of the smaller hounds which are just as much fun on light tackle. These have been about in good numbers with our best day so far at well over 60 of them.
There have still been a few thorn-backs about too which are nice to catch along with the odd male being kept for the pot. The numbers of rays aren’t the same as in the spring but we can still get a good few mixed in with the other fish. With days of 20 plus not uncommon in places though they tend to move further off.
We haven’t had any days specifically on the bass yet but we have seen a few numbers of smaller fish at times along with several better fish mixed in with our other trips. Please remember that the size limit for bass has now gone up to 42cm along with the bag limit of 3 fish kept per angler although you can catch and release as many as you like. This applies to all recreational anglers unless they have a commercial licence to sell fish.
The unsettled weather at the start of the month has kept the water fairly coloured with several east to north easterlies stirring the water up. This has made mackerel hard to find so far. This has hampered our efforts for tope fishing. There are still several whiting about in places so they have been substituted along with some frozen mackerel. We have had a few goes along with picking one or two up on general trips. There’s been no monsters aboard the ‘GALLOPER’ yet this year but we have been bust up by one or two better fish and seen several smaller pack tope too. we will be having another go next month and hopefully this settled weather will help us with fresh bait. If the weather allows we will also have a go for bass too. general trips over the coming weeks could see anything but our main targets will be rays, hounds and bass.

Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
Hi boat fishing anglers... It might be a case of teaching your grandmother to suck eggs, but with lightning forecast for tomorrow, if you are at sea..! and you see lighting, it might is advisable to disconnect all your VHF aerials and radar plugs for a short while, until the lighting has passed, then reconnect, so if you do take a strike it will only damage your antenna, and not you set..!! remember, on the sea you are the highest point..!!!.
Stay safe lads, and great fishing......Tight lines..!!
