    Report on-board Kittiwake 111

    August and early September has been a mixture of up and down regards the weather. August weather was poor but September so far has been good for this time of year.
    We have had good catches of Rays with large undulates topping the scales at 20lbs.
    Mackerel has been scarce this season which is very unusual.
    We have started catching Channel Whiting which is earlier then normal, so hopefully the Cod season will start earlier so get and book your dates now !!!
    I will be doing special deals for mid week bookings.
    Contact me for details.

    Report on-board Yellowfin

    We took advantaged of the warm clam weather last week and fished some offshore Wrecks, where we had
    some nice Pollack drifting over the wreck, the best was 14lb caught by Phil Freeman on a Mackerel lure.

    We anchored up to fish into the wreck with some baits for Conger and Ling Bream and Pollack, it worked for
    a while but the tide go to strong so we went back on the drift and caught some Ling bream and Pollack.

    Simon caught a couple of ling 12lb been his best, Ritchie caught a Personal best 13lb, Brian had a 11lb Ling.
    Jack Lander Aged 9 caught a 15lb 8oz Ling his biggest fish so far, you can watch the Video of him catching
    it on my CBUK page or on YOUTUBE search for yellowfinskipper.

    Not long now for the inshore Cod fishing to start lets hope it a good one, all the best to you all.

  • 07/09/2014 Fishing Report by alan heller on Our Joy (Littlehampton, West Sussex)

    Report on-board Our Joy

    Sunday 7th September 2014.

    We were originally booked with our regular boat and skipper but due to technical problems he couldn't take us on our preferred date.

    Our skipper spoke to Daniel and he kindly accommodated us at short notice.

    After a late night the night before we were off at 6:30am.

    Dan welcomed us aboard and gave us the low down on the boat and all of the safety equipment before we set off.....being a new boat to us this was very welcome.

    We set off and steamed out to a mark about an hour from the harbour.

    As soon as the anchor was down Dan sorted us all out with rods and helped us bait up and get fishing....plenty of bait was supplied and we were soon helping ourselves....although Dan was quick to assist when we got in a mess!

    The fishing started off slow with a few bream and dogfish coming on board....but as soon as the tide turned we were into a good mix of fish.

    We ended up with some nice skate, bream, smoothound and few mackerel for good measure.

    A good days fishing had by all and rounded off by Dan helping us to clean the fish up to take home.

    Many thanks for a great day out.

    Report on-board Just Mary

    Hi All ! Just a quick report to let you know what we've been doing lately, which consists mainly of finding good quality fish for hire rod Anglers and Regulars as well ! Please bear in mind that a lot of our fish are caught by people who are on their first ever trip or people with limited Angling experience and yet here on our pages they are holding up decent fish ! We take them, we teach them, we put them on the fish and they catch, simples.......! Not just now and then but consistently, day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year, almost 15 years I've been doing this job and we're still putting you all 'On The Fish' ! You don't win the SeaAngler Magazine UK Top Skipper Award sat on your arse in the wheelhouse watching TV and eating biscuits ! So weekend 30/31 August was Bmth Airshow and we had hire rod Anglers on the Saturday and the well known local Chef Cornelius Veakins and Photographer Andrew Plant and family and friends on Sunday. Great weekend.....Great Show.....Fish and Friends.....and Mackerel fresh from the Barbie.....superb ! Plus the odd steak sandwich.....does life get any better than this.....! Follow us on Facebook.....'Onamission Charters'.....
    Weekend just gone we found more good fish for a Stag Party from Calne in Wiltshire and my Regulars and guests on Sunday, Three Species of Ray, Undies, Spotted and Small Eyed, Numerous Congers and Tope to name a few and Great Weather.....make the most of it.....come fishing with us now !

  • 07/09/2014 Fishing Report by Trevor Small on Rocket (Poole, Dorset)

    7 Sep 2014 by Trevor Small

    Report on-board Rocket

    Hi Everyone
    With summer drawing to a close, my thoughts are now turning to winter Cod fishing. It can be a demanding time of year weather wise,but we do have the boat that can handle anything ! . With a shelter deck and heated wheelhouse,hot drinks and 900hp under the bonnet Rocket is worth considering.. You are sure to enjoy a comfortable day, and possibly carry home some decent fish. I have frozen bait in stock,traces tied and productive marks to fish. Rocket fishes the Needles late Oct- mid December then more local grounds off Poole. I need anglers that can fish tide, and have the strength to hold up big fish for a photo.

    I hope to see you soon .
    Regards Trevor

    Report on-board Hard Labour

    Well the last couple of months have seen some mixed fishing. Some exceedingly good days and some not so. In general good numbers of bass and hounds have been coming to the boat. Some nice specimen fish boated in amongst them. Plenty of high double figure hounds to 19 lb 9oz and nice bad to mid 7 lb range.

    As for now the bass are still around and the Roker are starting to show in good numbers again. We've seen the first of the codling, which is a good sign for the winter fishing. Weekends from now until January are filling fast so get in quick so as not to be disappointed. There are a few individual spaces up for grabs on various dates from now until November.
