    The day dawned fair but the fishing was brilliant.We went "round the corner" to marks off Flamborough Head.The cod didn't stop biting and our 5 anglers landed over 50 fish,all well over minimum size.The odd dogfish and some large Wrasse all went back.Boads well for the summer season.

  • 25/05/2015 Fishing Report by Malcolm Collins on Just Mary (Christchurch, Dorset)

    Report on-board Just Mary

    MAD DOG, ENGLISHMEN AND EU COUSINS. If I made a speech then this could be it. Firstly I would like to thank Mike 'Mad Dog' Taylor for selling me the amazing 'Just Mary' and allowing me to return to the Job that I love so much. On the right day, with the right customers and with Black Bream being lifted over the gunwhales is there really a better job in this world.....I think not. Secondly I would like to thank my small, but not insignificant number of English Customers who have stuck with me over the last Fifteen Years. And last but not least, I have a growing band of supporters from Europe, Polish, Lithuanian, Latvian and Romanian EU Cousins who have joined the 'Just Mary' Fan Club since I returned to Full Time life as a Skipper. A recent spell of five days at Sea has seen our catch rate on my favourite Species, Black Bream increase significantly. Policemen and Women from nearby Winton enjoyed good numbers on a five hour trip last Thursday and a 3 hour SFP trip that followed. Friday more 3 hour trips for SFP and more Bream with everyone catching including John 'Dinger' Bell whose only other Poole Trip aboard another Boat had produced only one fish for the entire crew all day (!) and I know who it was. Saturday and Polish Cousins led by Sebastian Wisniewski produced 100 Fish and Sunday led by Peter Borowski did likewise. Well done Boys even if you couldn't always understand my words of encouragement ! Monday and Singles including a gang led by Arturas from Lithuania, 'Dinger' Bell (my latest fan) and his mate once again produced good fish and good numbers. More pics and stuff on my Facebook 'Onamission Charters' page.....thanks, Malc.

    Report on-board High Flyer 2

    This report covers the weekend of 23rd/ 24th/25th May, bank holiday, the weather not been kind at all the wind unfortunately stopping all offshore work. We had to work around the tides this weekend and basically make the most of it so big thank you and well done to all my customers every fish was well earned. Apart from the heavy downpours sunday we managed a dry monday but the light winds forcast was not to be. Fished north of the turbines Sat had few decent smoothies and doggies most of the day, Sun was quite poor fish size wise but had a few codling thrown in , only small smoothies today showing up but ended up home early with everyone soaking wet not a great day. Mon was better still bit blowy to go offshore so fished off Lowestoft front with a reasonable day few nice bass pictured here , no skate or cod today plenty of pin whiting still proving a pain. Big thanks to all the anglers on High Flyer this bank holiday weekend, nice to see few new faces as well, bit of a hard one but enjoyable all the same, looking forward to being of service again soon, until then tight lines everyone. Jon. (High Flyer)

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    Some superb action for the lads aboard the boat on all the trips since the last report lads. Some of them walking off with well into double figure amounts!!

    This weeks lads have seen some slightly better size coding on the ground on the 9 mile. Nothing startling big but nice meaty codling to around 7lb. They really are starting to pile the weight on now.

    Not many days left in June now so if you fancy a trip, best get your bookings made sharpish!!

    Check the availability calendar to see what's left. The calendar is here on this site and also on my personal website at www.shy-torque2000.com

    My old mate Guy Wrightson pictured.

    Cheers and happy fishing wherever ya are!!

    Rich.

    Report on-board Morgan M Charters

    22nd may 2015 by tony read

    BASS TRIP
    We headed east to one of my bass marks after one hour and fifteen minutes we dropped the Anchor, 6 anglers on board to day all good anglers loaded with 5 hundred big fat lug worm. We cast out, 10 minutes later we had a nice 3lb bass then a couple of nice size skate we had a few more bass on the last of the ebb, we was just waiting for the tide to start flooding all rods went out and we had whiting after whiting not what I planed then after about an hour of the flood the tide started pushing through hard. Bass started coming aboard and I said to one off the Anglers there is still a chance of the odd cod, when Tim hills rod bent over five min later I was netting an 8lb cod then another angler was bent in to a nice cod this carried on for the whole of the flood WELL I did not expect that we where supposed to be on a bass trip mid summer cod fishing at its best we ended up with fifteen nice cod from 5lbs to 8lbs and 4 or five cod lost. Over 20 bass loads of skate.dog fish whiting and dabs
    It goes to show sometimes you should expect the unexpected!

  • 23/05/2015 Fishing Report by TERRY BATT on Vanishing Point-2 (Bradwell Marina, Essex)

    23 May 2015 by TERRY BATT

    Report on-board Vanishing Point-2

    Phew...!! what a day yesterday, (Sunday 24th May) a new party that have just started coming out with me, and few regulars... Hi John & Tim.. but what a really nice crowd of lads.
    We have them the option of having a crack at the Smoothounds, but they opted to go for Skate, not a problem... !
    After a 30 minute steam (I still cant believe how fast Vanishing Point-2 is) we were fishing on a mark we had fish for several days, but sadly when I arrived at the mark, there was a small private boat right on where I was fishing,Grrrrrrr!!! but never mind the sea is a big enough place without throwing my toys out of the pram.... so I picked another spot not far from where we had been fishing days before and after a little wait John Bryant got the first bite, and like the pro he is, sat on his hands until the fish decided to move off with his bait, and wallop, he wound into the fish and there was a real rod bender on..!!!
    You Know it's funny, and I always smile when I say it...( it was from a great skipper out of Bradwell called Bob Cox) a master..!!! the thing I say, that makes me smile, and think of him is when I shout out to anglers... DON'T STRIKE WINED!!!!! Classic Bob Cox,
    But after the last of the ebb tide finally died we went to pick up our pot and had a few Hermit Crab's in it, and that gave me time to reflect where we might fish for the flood tide, as the ebb was ok, but no where as good as the previous few days, but there was quite a few boats on the patch where I had been, a bit too busy, just bank holiday enthusiasts all getting a bit of the action.
    So I pick out a new bit of ground to fish for the flood tide,so we were on our own, and nice and quiet, and it was not long before the rods started bending, and we were off..!! and it didn't stop until we pulled the anchor for home, and I think it's fair to say everyone had caught fish, and another boat full of happy customers..
    Well after the end of the day, Nicola jet washed the boat as always, while I valeted the wheelhouse ready for the next party, but then it was back home to quickly get a bite to eat, wash change and out to Saint Lawrence Bay Inn, to Rock the joint till midnight, and even then they didn't want it to end yep I still got it...lol but it was a great day all round, and today is a rest day after 20 hours at my age........ I need a rest.....lol again
    seriously though, there is a shed load of fish about, so if you want a trip on our SUPER CAT!!! start dialling..!! oh forgot to mention we boated around 50 Thornbacks once again yesterday, so well done guys you were fantastic, cant wait to see you all again next month,
    Tight lines.....!!
