    Report on-board Flamer IV

    Hi, April saw some excellent fish caught in particular big Undulate Rays and Spurdogs. Due to the poor water clarity the flatty fishing was very up and down but we still managed a few good Plaice, Turbot and Brill catches. At the end of the month the wrecking really picked up with some excellent Pollack fishing. Flamer IV Fish of the Month was awarded to Jon Patten with his 19Ib 14oz Undulate Ray(pictured). 24 different species have been caught so far this year on Flamer IV. During May I would expect the flatty fishing to improve along with the wreck trips for Pollack,Cod and Ling, and some Bass on the bigger tides. The inshore reefs will see the Black Bream arrive in numbers and the excellent Ray fishing should continue.

    Report on-board Mistress

    Another good day for us here at Whitby.

    The inshore fishing has been good recently, today no different. the lads fished hard on a big tide using bait and shads and managed to amass 60+ cod, ling and pollock to keep. There were a good few undersized fish placed back to grow bigger.

    The majority of the fish recently have been in the 4lb - 7lb bracket, the signs are looking great for the forthcoming season.

    Pictured are Dan & Nigel with some of their fish, well done men!

    Report on-board Flamer IV

    On only my second wrecking trip of the year it was nice to find some good water clarity and plenty of Pollack.The Pollack were caught on a variety of lures but the best lure on the day was certainly the Bubble Gum Pink Red Gill.Star of the show was Earl Coates who caught 14 Pollack which included two double figure Pollack weighing 12Ib 1oz(pictured) and 11Ib 11oz..Earl's successful tackle was a 15Ib class rod with a flying collar rig with a 12 foot trace and pink lure and of course his undoubted skill. Other double figure Pollack were caught by John Billett 12Ib,Russell Salmon 10Ib 14oz,Dave Kingman 11Ib 4oz. " SYMPATHY" must go to Flamer IV regular Rick Hawkins who was fishing next to Earl but could not catch a Pollack for love nor money,"Better luck next time Rick".

  • 04/2014 Fishing Report by Paul Smith on Rapid Fisher (Poole, Dorset)

    Apr 2014 by Paul Smith

    Report on-board Rapid Fisher

    A break in the weather & Rapid Fisher was quick off the mark to race to a set of banks to fish for blonde rays. The crew for the day were the local oyster fisherman from Poole.

    After a quick steam out at 20 knots we arrived at our mark & the boat was set up to drop anchor & lines were dropped over the side in anticipation. A few small blondes resulted, enough to keep the lads busy, but i knew there were some bigger ones to be had.

    As the tide picked up I decided to try a close by wreck to try for pollack & with twin 320hp nanni engines we were there in the time it took to drink a cuppa!!

    Unfortunately after a couple of drifts only one small pollack! I made the decision not to go further to other wrecks as I had a feeling they was going to be the same, so I made the decision to go back to the banks to try and find the bigger blondes. For the rest of the afternoon we were in to blonde rays (the biggest falling to Rob at a shade over 18lbs) and believe it or not a bigger pollack than on the wreck!! Two of the lads hooked into something big and whilst one of them only had it on for a few minutes it managed to go through 30lb braid. The other was played for around 45 minutes and got close to the boat twice but again whatever it was it got the better of 30lb braid.

    All in all a good day where the experience of the skipper paid dividend.

    Tight lines to all my customers for the coming season
