Report on-board Mistress
Monday 31st March
Back Uptiding again today, on board we had a couple from Birmingham and and a regular lad from Leeds.
We started off steady away, taking a dozen fish in the first couple of hours, We moved around looking for better things taking a steady few fish each spot we went to, but it was hard work, non the less we tried plenty of marks picking away.
The three anglers finished up with around 25 Codlings for the day, reports of boats travelling distance had similar catch results too,
The most consistent bait remains squid and black gulley worm, but crab cart took a few through the day too
Pictured is Bea from Birmingham, with her fish, well done Bea!

Report on-board Mistress
Sunday 30th March
We finally got away on Sunday, the day forecast was for the sea to die away all day which it did, but it was still a rolly polly sort of day with a ground swell hitting us side on all day.
I had a bunch of regulars on from Leeds who were keen to get at the fish. We worked our socks off for the lads and it payed off for us, our first mark was chucking a few out, and I was sure another mark nearby would fish a bit better - and it did!
At some points we had two or three rods in at a time, we moved as the tide eased and the fishing went dead until the flood tide came through, we moved again for the final time taking another 6 or 8 fish before home time.
The final tally saw the lads with just under 40 Codlings for the day, which I thought was good given the conditions.
All fish were between 2lb & 4lb

Fishing Report by Colin Penny
on Flamer IV (Weymouth, Dorset)
31 Mar 2014 by Colin Penny
Report on-board Flamer IV
During March the anchored fishing on the Reefs and Banks was excellent with good catches of Blonde and Undulate Rays along with plenty of Congers,Bull Huss,Smooth Hounds,Spurdogs and the usual Dogs and Whiting. The flatty fishing has been hard going as yet due to the stirred up and poor water clarity as a result of all the winter storms. How ever the signs are there that the flatty fishing is improving at last and should continue to improve during April.The wreck fishing for Pollack etc has also been a casualty of the winter storms and poor water clarity but as we get some settled weather and improving water clarity I am sure the Pollack ,Ling etc will be there to be caught. Flamer IV Fish of the Month for March was awarded to Trevor Lockyer for his Personal Best 16Ib 8oz Undulate Ray(pictured). 14 different species have been caught ion Flamer IV so far in 2014.

Report on-board Seawatch1
With the codling thinning out a bit we decided to target the Rays over the weekend and found them in some serious numbers,Saturday the best day with fifty five Thornbacks up to eleven pounds, the guys keeping a few for the table but the majority returned to spawn and fight another day.We also had a few codling to four pounds and the first Bass of the season on Seawatch at three pounds ( also returned alive).The Ray and Bass fishing should keep improving over the next few weeks,so if you fancy it give me a ring.

Fishing Report by Nigel Lihou
on Optimist (Brixham, Devon)
29 Mar 2014 by Nigel Lihou
Report on-board Optimist
Well the early part of 2014 has been a bit of a wash and blow out with storm after storm we have taken the opportunity to carry out a mini refit on Optimist (to make things better for you the Angler) and try and get out when the weather permits. The condition of the water around the wrecks and the Skerries Bank is well and truly stirred up and with the fresh water coming down the rivers Exe, Teign, Dart and the Salcombe estuary, this makes the waters extremely brackish and very very cloudy, not good at all for lure fishing. Good news though when we have managed to get out in the last couple of weeks there are a few Pollack returning to the wrecks further offshore as well as the good old Pouting, and plaice on the Skerries. No sign yet of early Cod, or Bass coming on to feed, but as the stormy season subsides and the waters clear we should be in for some very good fishing. Still some dates available for 2014, telephone or email for individual or full boat charters.

Fishing Report by Ross Parham
on Spot On! (Brixham, Devon)
Mar 2014 by Ross Parham
Report on-board Spot On!
You will all be pleased to know that wrecking is starting to pick up and even with the easterly winds Spot On headed out to the mid channel wrecks, loads of signs of fish on the sounder and the fishing was good with a few fish coming every drift, first fish on board was the absolute cracker of a whiting and a fish of a lifetime that fell to Steve Ford of Brixham Sea Anglers of a fish of 6lb 10oz, and taking the new club record and on the clubs official scales some 10 hours later after being caught it went 6lb 3oz.
Lots of nice Pollock also coming to the net with the biggest around the 10lb mark but as the tide turned the drift was hampered by the stronger growing wind which made life a tad difficult to get the right direction but fish still kept coming but it did slow down.
Spot On is Full time and has loads of great tides still available so if you want to fish for the fish of a lifetime then I will see you on board.
Skerries bank is starting to produce Plaice and an adventure across last week (30 min steady steam) we had quite a few fish and then we went on the Huss and Doggies which were also good fun. View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Dave Elliott
on Ocean Warrior 3 (Brighton, East Sussex)
Mar 2014 by Dave Elliott
Report on-board Ocean Warrior 3
This week has produced some big Pollock out on the deep water wrecks in the English Channel.
John 'Chalky' White's crew had a good day on the Pollock and the biggest on the day was 16lb 4oz. The crew found that the sidewinder lures seemed to be producing the best results.
There are also Plaice and Whiting still showing on the inshore marks.
Looking forward to some better weather coming to get in some more good fishing in... View Boats Page

Report on-board Yellowfin
With the day light lasting longer so have our long distance wreck fishing trips,
over 30 miles out in the English Channel where the wrecks get fished less, a
Fine body of men from Heart's and Essex was on their first wreck trip on
Yellowfin,
The first Wreck of the day only gave us one Pollack so of over the horizon
we went. The next wreck was fishing much better, wind and tide pushing
us along at 1.5 knots over the wreck, the group started catching some nice
Pollack, on a mixture of lures Rhubarb & Custard colures worked the best,
Paul Crittell and son Steven had a fish fight, Farther beat son 6 fish to 1.
Best Fish of the day was caught by Paul, 13lb 8oz
All on boat had a good day, as you can see from the group picture. Thanks
Peter, Trevor, Steve, Paul, Dixie, Martin, Steve, Derek & Digger.
If you want to fish long distant wrecks with fish on them give us call & book
a trip on Yellowfin.
All the best View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Stephen Wake
on Channel Warrior (Bridport, Dorset)
26 Mar 2014 by Stephen Wake
Report on-board Channel Warrior
26/3/14 We headed out to the wrecks today and found I did not need to go too far to find the pollack (half hour from the harbour).All good sized fish the biggest of 8lb caught by Barrie from Cheltenham. The small dark coloured plastic eels did the business.The reef fishing was poor producing a heap of dogs and the same for the plaice but that should change in the next few weeks.There is some good pollack fishing here now, the water temp is well up this year, compared with previous years and my gut feeling is we are in for a good season. If you want to get your self a pb pollack give me a call 07817141425
