    11 Apr 2015 by jon old

    Report on-board High Flyer 2

    Very weak tides today causes a problem sometimes as codling like that run of tide to feed so decided to stick to the deepest water today possible. Bit of a effort as the wind although westerly/southwest was rather strong today! So made the best of a bad job and stuck outside the other boats today in the Roads in a little hole i often use as a back up if busy down there. Paid off today with a slow start i must say, apart from few showers and one 52mph gust we ended up with over 20 plus keepers, couple of doggies and countless pin whiting one or two keepers amongst them. Returned a few skiny codling and lost a few falling off today and one or two undersize so quite pleased for this time of year. No flatties today for us was quite pleased to get in after a day being blown about!

  • 13/04/2015 Fishing Report by Rich Cope on Mistress (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    13 Apr 2015 by Rich Cope

    Report on-board Mistress

    Another absolutely top day again today.

    Matt and the lads from York took the boat today and what a blinder they had! as soon as we arrived at our wreck, the sounder said it all!

    I wasn't surprised that drift after drift we had every single rod in on the boat. the fish were going bananas for the shads, no particular colour fishing better than the rest, I got biggest bag of 26 cod on a 3" ghost tiger storm shad.

    Unfortunately no festival prize fish, the biggest just shy of 7lb, most were around the 4lb mark and giving the lads their due, they returned a lot of fish too, I seem to be seeing a lot more people returning fish lately, its great to see.

    Needless to say the lads were all delighted with their catch today with us amassing between 80 & 90 Cod between the 5 of us.

    if you fancy a trip with me give me a call on 07977 436903 or drop me a message on our FB page - Mistress Sea Angling Charters

    Tight Lines, Rich

  • 12/04/2015 Fishing Report by TERRY BATT on Vanishing Point-2 (Bradwell Marina, Essex)

    12 Apr 2015 by TERRY BATT

    Report on-board Vanishing Point-2

    We had lots of wind at the weekend, and lots of fish as well ...!!! so no problem there.

    Friday's party did well, and was good to catch up with old pals once again and boat lots of fish, my old mate Andy never stop making me laugh..... cheers mate lovely to see you, and Allen Tarrent we haven't seen for a couple of years since we have been away, but great to see him once again..

    Saturdays party was down on numbers as I cocked up with two guys I thought were brining another two guys with them .... but no I got it wrong, and then another of my party just plain forgot he was on the trip, but was most apologetic, and is sending the cash anyway...(Thanks Chris) and an old mate that was a party of two at the last minute got called by his company to go to Paris France..!! so we only had 4 anglers on board but we didn't hold back as was expected... we went the distance it wasn't the parties fault we were short, and I will never hold back if my boat is not full..!!.

    Sundays party with Mark Smith and pals, turned out good, we caught at every mark we went to, and with the predicted species on various marks..!! in the end the wind was blowing at 35 mph and we still sat there steady catching fish...... I must admit, i did feel a little seasick!!! ........ I was watching a little mono hull vessel cork screwing alarmingly at times, and was glad we were on a mighty Cat..!!!

  • 04/2015 Fishing Report by Ross Parham on Spot On! (Brixham, Devon)

    Apr 2015 by Ross Parham

    Report on-board Spot On!

    Friday the 10th April saw Spot On's first trip of the year to the famous Skerries bank just around the corner from Brixham and we enjoyed a nice steam on a lovely spring/summer morning and although a misty start to the day it cleard to be a lovely day with a gentle breeze.

    The anglers were anxious and so was I, with this being the first trip of the year to target Plaice for 2015.
    The hooks were baited and various weird and wonderful, not to mention colourful rigs were dropped into the sea to tempt some spring Plaice and it was not long before the first red spotted flatty of 2015 were landed.

    The fishing was steady and then died off over slack water, but a few drifts later we were again Spot On with the drifts and bringing in lots more nice spring Plaice, most of the fish went back and only a few larger ones kept for the table

    Total numbers of Plaice for the day was a nice 70 flat fish landed along with a couple dogfish and gurnard, top rod was 13 Plaice which for this time of year is very good.
    The fish are still a little on the thin size but at least they are there on the banks and will be feeding up so we should see larger specimens landed as the summer months draw closer.
    We managed a few nice Plaice up to 2lb and even a nice double hook up and they seem to be in really clean condition.

    Pictured is Andy with his Brace of Plaice.

    Bait was supplied by Spot On fishing in Preston/Paignton and again was some great ragworm as usual which I believe made the difference with the top bait being ragworm tipped with prawn.
