  • 14/06/2015 Fishing Report by Philip Higgins on Mistress Linda / San Gina3 (Poole, Dorset)

    14 Jun 2015 by Philip Higgins

    Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3

    Mid channel wreck fishing is producing good catches of small to medium Cod and some cracking Pollack, anglers are taking advantage of the good weather and enjoying a great day out using light gear the magic colours that produce the best results are rhubarb / custard and bubble gum pink, make sure you take these to optimise your chances. Around Poole the banks are producing Rays in good numbers along with all the summer seasonal fish.

  • 16/06/2015 Fishing Report by TERRY BATT on Vanishing Point-2 (Bradwell Marina, Essex)

    16 Jun 2015 by TERRY BATT

    Report on-board Vanishing Point-2

    Terry here..!!! again..!! lol,
    Well as I told you, on Saturday just gone (13th July) we had that lovely 10 lbs Bass, and Jim who organized the trip I see has put a very nice review on here, so thank you Jim.

    There is a couple more photos I will attach of some of the Thornback Rays that were caught that day by other members of the party, I know they say that size doesn't always matter, (think some women may disagree..!!!) but seriously, here are some of the photos of the Rays, not the biggest in the world, but just look at the faces, and that my friends, tells the whole story..!!! it's call fishing, big fish, or not so big fish, that smile that says
    I'VE DONE IT.....!!!!! is the reward for any charter boat operator, then you know, you have done your job well..

    Sunday. (14th July) weather much improved from the previous 24 hours, we woke up to flat calm conditions, so we set off at 0700 and headed off-shore to look for Smoothounds and we found them on the very first mark we came too.

    We were all on our own, not a boat in sight, then about an hour later we had four other fishing boats in very close proximity..! but it didn't affect our fishing, not sure the other did so well though, it is a tight bit of ground and once one charter vessel is on it, there is very little room for anyone else.

    Monday (15th July....yesterday) we had a really smashing bunch of guys out looking for some Bass fishing, but once again the weather turned nasty, with 28 to 30 mph NE winds and it was difficult fishing conditions, but as seasoned anglers, there was no complaints, they just said to me,... your the Capt, just do what you can.

    So we thought for the first hour we would try going up river for some Bass, and we got a schoolie first chuck, it seemed a decent fish at first!!!, but the under all the weed, we saw the little fellow, a school Bass about 10 inches long...! but the boys plodded on, but the weed beat us in the end, so we moved 7 miles east on to another shallow bank, but not much happening there, one or two Rays, so once again, up anchor, and moved about 1.5 miles South, and lots of Rays, no Bass sadly, then at slack one of the lads Les, put on a piece of Herring and caught a cracking Gurnard. (Photo attached, but then the boys said they wanted to take on the weed again up river, and have another go for the Bass, so we went a little further up river to Osea island, and although the weed was not so bad, there was only little school Bass to be had, one or two slightly bigger ones, but still under size, but it must be said, that for there size on light tackle they do give great bites like fish 4 times their size...lol

    Well time is ticking on now, I got up early to write this report, but me and Nicola are once again due on the Vanishing Point-2 at 0800 hrs for another great fishing adventure with a returning party from a couple of weeks ago, and the have the boat booked for today, and tomorrow... Go Veer..!!

    I think at first people were afraid to enquire about the Vanishing Point-2 because she is an ultra modern, and mega expensive vessel (£700,000.00), that they thought they would not be able to afford to charter her, but the reality is, that she is roughly the same price as most Cat's operating in our area, so anyone can afford to come on her.

    If you fancy a fishing trip, either as a party, novice or experienced, just give me and Nicola a call and we would be happy to talk you through it....

    Right...... we are off fishing !!!!!, report back later with the days report............... Tight lines everyone..

  • 11/06/2015 Fishing Report by Rich Cope on Mistress (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    11 Jun 2015 by Rich Cope

    Report on-board Mistress

    A day with a difference!

    We hosted the Police force annual knockouts here at ‪Whitby‬ recently, the only difference was they wanted a species hunt instead of a biggest fish comp! we staill took ling into double figure from the ‪wrecks‬, but we accounted for a fair few species too, infact we had the winner of the event on ‪Mistress‬ too,

    Ray Canham who represented the C-Team for Northumbria won, with his team mates also fishing well his team won too, The boat took, cod, ling, pouting, whiting, haddock, plaice, dab, cuckoo wrasse,

    The cuckoo wrasse was really striking, I'm sure its probably a port record it weighed in at 1lb 12oz for Dave Croskery.

    If you fancy a trip with a difference or would just love to get among the cod with the ‪#‎shads‬, give me a call on 07977 436903, e-mail: seafishingwhitby@hotmail.co.uk or drop me a message on my FB page: Mistress Sea Angling Charters

    Tight Lines - Rich

    Report on-board Piscary

    Had a great day out this week with Tubertini Team England, they bagged 18 species in a very short time, including quite a few very nice Bream, lots of Rays , a couple of Smoothounds and a very welcome bonus Turbot. A big thank you to manager Rolf Marschalek, Stainless Steve and Total Sea Fishings editor Paul Dennis. Also has our first proper Bass trip of the year, unfortunately after catching some great bait the Bass didn't show, but did manage to save the day with some very good Bream and a cracking 4lb 10oz Ballan Wrasse for Martin

  • 15/06/2015 Fishing Report by Peter Davis on Warrior II (Looe, Cornwall)

    15 Jun 2015 by Peter Davis

    Report on-board Warrior II

    It's a bit later than last year but here we go then !! We had a lovely conditioned Blue Shark today to (Dave Keen) of approx. 90lb (86" x 32") so that marks the start of our sharking for 2015 !!
    Typhoon did have the first from Looe day before yesterday so although it's a slow start it's a start never the less.
    We had the annual MOD comp last Friday and the two teams aboard Force Ten kept busy all day with Whiting, Pouts, Ling, Conger, Pollack, and a few very welcome Haddock !! I am afraid those of you who have not booked will not have a lot to go at but I do have a few place bookings available. Keep checking back and I will try to write a bit more often. Tight Lines, Pete

    Report on-board Predator

    A great day a float with the lads from the Thamesdown Bus Company from Swindon. We originally were going to target bream but with high tide in the bay at the beginning of the trip I suggested we try a deeper mark in Poole bay for rays first and then bream later in the day.

    We headed out at a steady 20 knots (Predator fully feeling her recently cleaned bottom!!) to the chosen mark. Hooks baited, lowered and cuppa made. It wasn't long before the bites started and some decent fish being boated. Suffice to say that the lads didn't want to go breaming in the afternoon as they were happy battling the rays (undulate, spotted & small eyed) , tope, smoothound & congers. Oh and we did manage to get a few bream for tea!!
