  • 03/2014 Fishing Report by Trevor Small on Rocket (Poole, Dorset)

    Mar 2014 by Trevor Small

    Report on-board Rocket

    Dear Customers and friends
    Rockets diving/angling season started March 9th this year, with bookings taken for most weekends either to fish or dive. Unfortunately my initial concern over water clarity were confirmed on out first trip out. The good news is that the water temp is up three degrees on what it usually is this time of year ,but very much down on clarity. This can only be a result of mild winter and higher than expected rain fall earlier this month. March is usually when we would be fishing mid channel wrecks for hard fighting Pollock. Sadly the lack of clear water in the channel has kept our quarry out of reach. I am confident that things will improve shortly, and we will be back filling fish boxes with your chosen target specie. Over the next few weeks expect the first Bream to be caught close to Poole, and hopefully news will follow that the Pollock are moving towards us from the western approaches. Fingers crossed and thank you for your continued support.

    Regards Trevor

    The uptiding here at whitby is still fireing on all cylinders friday and saturday saw some good sport for the lads around 50 codlings each day and with the water like soup once again after the northly swell today this sort of fishing could go well into april.

    The spring festival with a £1000 up for grabs starts on the 5th april the winnig fish could well come from the uptiding it has been extremly close in the past .

    A nice cod for one of the lads over the weekend.

    23 Mar 2014 by Simon Fisher

    Report on-board Becca Marie

    Fishing the wrecks has been disappointing lately with the water being so coloured, so it was a nice change to for us to begin the first of our regular runs to the skerries banks in search of Plaice.
    The weather was certainly not on our side, with a biting fresh north west wind and a very murky water.
    That said in the early part of the day we had some dogfish and by late morning the first Plaice was aboard.
    The fishing wasnt fast paced but we manage to bag several more and an enjoyable trip was had by all.
    Things can only get better now on the banks so we cant wait for the next one!

  • 16/03/2014 Fishing Report by Adam Shaw on Warrior (Chichester, West Sussex)

    16 Mar 2014 by Adam Shaw

    Report on-board Warrior

    After possibly the worst winter for gales and unsettled weather we have at last come in to a settled period the seas of Chichester are calm.The good news is that the mild south-Westerly air flows all winter kept the sea temperatures high,so high in fact the bass stayed inshore thought out the winter period.

    So this is good for our spring fishing ,last year at this time the water was a chilly 3.75 c but this year its nearly 9 c so the sea does not need to warm up to encourage the fish in shore,i predict we will see the first bream very late march or very early April and don’t forget the first ones are the large male fish staking their territory ,so if you want to get a personal best bream this year the best time is early on in the season .

    We have done 4 trips this month from our new base Chichester marina it is working out very well so far ,the cafe have provided us with bacon or sausage baps in the mornings and a beer upon our return.Each trip has yielded rays , a mix of blondes,undulates,thorn backs,small eyed and spotted nothing massive yet the best was a 14lb undulate and 10ld small eyed .There has been a few congers mixed in still the odd cod and good chances of spur dogs although we have not landed one yet.

    We will keep pursuing rays especially big blonde one until the bream turn up so again if you want to try for the fish of a life time a 20lb plus blonde ray give me a call and ill sort you out a trip from Chichester on Warrior or Shaw thing .

  • 24/07/2014 Fishing Report by Roger Lennon on Skerry Belle (Ramsgate, Kent)

    24 Jul 2014 by Roger Lennon

    Report on-board Skerry Belle

    We can supply fresh or frozen peeler crabs and freshly dug lug on all our trips......
    BASS BASS BASSS BASS BASS BASS BASS BASS
    Well its that time of the year again where we go targeting the bass and large smooth hounds that move through our area during the warmer months. The early bass fishing (May) we find lug baits the best. Even fishing with a single worm can be deadly, and obviously crab baits will always work well on the rocky ground around the Foreland. From May onwards, the mackerel sholes arrive and this being the best bait for larger fish a live mackerel fished on a flowing trace can easily produce fish up to 15lb from our shores. (Please check out the top gallery for bass catches last year.) The smooth hounds will also be arriving shortly. Crab baits, squid and lug will easily catch these hard fighting fish. To book a specialist bass or hound trip around the Goodwins and North Foreland area, give Roger a call on 07805250427 to discuss your requirements. Remember all quality gear onboard. Tuition and lunch is supplied on all trips. Happy angling,
