    Report on-board Silver Spray II

    June Monthly Report:

    For the last couple of years the bass have arrived on the last spring tide in May, for us on Silver Spray they made us wait a little longer this year until the start of June. The first hit of fish came on live sand eels, not always available but I think I will make the effort to get them more often after seeing the positive effect they have had. Live mackerel produced the bigger fish as you would expect but we are still waiting for our first double this season, although 9lb 4oz isn't far off. To keep us interested over slack water the rays have been brilliant fun with all varieties making an appearance. After bringing a new PB to the surface on his bass gear of 22lb Dave Griffin gave a brilliant display of skill by landing a 26lber on a 12lb class rod and fixed spool reel, a perfect way to top off a good day on the bass.
    The wrecks of the Herd Deep provided some fantastic pollock fishing on the return journey from Alderney. Using live mackerel, the bigger the better, fished on a 6 foot trace and worked very slowly up over the wreckage the hard fighting pollock just couldn’t resist. Colin Jones equalled his personal best of 16lb, a very well conditioned fish that fought all the way to the top in nearly 300 feet of water. As well as the pollock the cod have been coming in good numbers into the high teens, mostly taking brightly coloured lures but some on the live baits as well. It usually late June when the larger fish arrive off Poole so fingers crossed next time I’ll writing about some quality as well as quantity.

    Report on-board Rapid Fisher

    Rapid Fisher has just completed her first 2 day Cherbourg trip with great results. In perfect sea conditions we set of with low expectations as the reports from the southern wrecks were not good.

    We were pleasantly surprised as the wrecks produced good amount of cod & pollack to 14lbs and we headed into Cherbourg in good spirits hopeful that day 2 would produce the same.

    The flood tide on day 2 produced no fish but as the tide turnt at lunchtime the fish became more active and we loaded up on cod & pollack with nearly every angler having a fish each drift!

    Cherbourg trips are great for those who are looking for something different so call me now to see what I can offer.

    31 May 2014 by Paul Smith

    Report on-board Rapid Fisher

    With glourious weather Rapid Fisher went in search of cod & pollack on a long range wrecking trip. Pushing tide heading towards the wrecks to the west we still managed a respectable 20 knots. The first 3 wrecks produced no fish so I decided to push even further west.

    To say it was the right decision was an understatement. All through the flood tide the fish were coming on board constantly and we loaded up with cod throughout. Not huge fish but good size for the table. On many of the drifts everyone was into fish.

    A great day had by all and it took the crew until the harbour entrance to gut their catch!!!

    I still have dates for wrecking trips available so call me now to book your place

  • 05/2014 Fishing Report by Paul Smith on Rapid Fisher (Poole, Dorset)

    May 2014 by Paul Smith

    Report on-board Rapid Fisher

    Rapid Fisher has completed her second Alderney trip with a bitter sweet tale to tell. Patrick Evans, a regular face aboard, booked the six day trip for his group a while ago but sadly Patrick was unable to make the trip as he passed away suddenly.

    The weather conditions made for a tough crossing but with the hulls of the BW seacat we managed a respectable speed to the first of the wrecks en route. It proved unfruitful and the conditions made the drift difficult so we decided to forgo the fishing & head straight to Bray harbour.

    Day 2 saw a swelly sea but we headed round to the banks to fish for the flatties. The guys on board had bought a reef for Patrick & decided to lay it at sea once the first fish came on board. The first drift produced a turbot & brill and the reef was laid and we all observed a minutes silence. The turboting was hard for the rest of the trip but we still managed 14 fish on one day with a nice double figure fish amongst the catch.

    One angler had a shock when he managed to boat a potential british boat record blonde ray. Using 10lb class tackle, Bob Sutton, struggled to get the fish to the boat but did so expertly only for the net to be a bit on the small side!! After weighing the fish onboard the scales read between 35lbs - 41lbs but in the sea conditions it was impossible to get a confirmed reading & after 4 attempts it was decided to release the fish back as it was senseless to kill her for the sake of a bit of paper!!!

    All in all a good trip & I'm sure Patrick was looking down with a smile on his face.
