Fishing Report by Philip Higgins
on Mistress Linda / San Gina3 (Poole, Dorset)
Mar 2014 by Philip Higgins
Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3
After a long miserable winter the season is finally getting underway, the local banks have produced some good ray fishing with blondes to 25lb undulates to 17lb along with quite a few good quality spurdogs to 18lb and congers of various sizes ranging from baby straps to 70lb+. The water is still cloudy after all the gales but as each day passes the clarity improves and the fishing will follow, offshore wrecking has been slow this month but after the warm period we are having I expect this to change. The pics show the anglers into fish and enjoying themselves which is what fishing is all about. It is time for the prized turbot to appear along with the plaice in good numbers and our favourite summer species the bream will soon be here. I look forward to seeing all my regular crews this season and welcome any new additions. Good fishing

Fishing Report by Stephen Wake
on Channel Warrior (Bridport, Dorset)
Mar 2014 by Stephen Wake
Report on-board Channel Warrior
15/03/14 Today we had our first mackerel and what was encouraging they were under the 4 mile mark, I expect because the sea temp is up for this time of year ( about 9 degrees ). The morning session today was difficult (ebb) with cloudy,cold and choppy conditions. But the afternoon on the flood saw things turn round the chop flattened out, the sun came out and the big whiting turned up in steady numbers and all were fully roed-up. We also had our share of dogs along with a smattering of wrasse. Kept in-shore to day because of the fore cast, it was nothing like they were predicting and I could have gone off-shore.Our 8 hour trip as usual turned into a 9 1/4 hour, don't time fly when you are enjoying your self. Good fishing and tight lines to you all

Report on-board Skylark
Cracking days fishing today.
with in the first 1/2 hour we had 4 fish aboard and Chris Darke boarded a 11lb 8oz Cod. then as the tide slowed down fishing slowed down so we made a move to another mark a bit further out where the tide was spot on. we managed to board a few more fish then the tide became to strong with 1lb sinkers struggling to hold the bottom so we moved further inshore. this seamed the best spot for the day and several more cod where taken including a 13lb 11oz cod caught by the skipper.
we were fishing the Scarborough Boat Angling Clubs Nbby Llyod match and managed to get 1st, 2nd, 5th, 6th and 7th, out of 17 anglers who fished the match.
Well Done to all Who fished the match as the conditions were far from perfect.

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
We managed a couple of days out on the Saxon Lady yesterday and the day before whilst we are still out of the water.
Lovely weather and some decent fishing too. The ground on the 9 mile and a couple of wrecks fishing pretty well. Most of the fish falling to the bait rigs.
Almost ready with ours now. Hoping to run the engines up tomorrow and maybe re-launch on Monday.
Regards

Report on-board Mistress
What a day we had yesterday on the Wrecks, its the first day we have had a crack at them this year as we have been waiting for the conditions to fall into place.
We steamed just over an hour to our first wreck, its a wreck ive been wanting to get on for a while, my choice payed off for us as we enjoyed some brilliant sport on shads and bait on the last of the ebb tide. with everybody taking plenty of fish
The tide eased as we approached slack water and the fishing slowed down, we picked away steady then and carried on into the flood tide which wasnt pushing very hard. as it approached 2pm we started making tracks towards home, stopping at a couple of wrecks on the way taking more fish for the lads.
we finished up with between 90 & 100 fish today for the lads, the best angler taking 23.
Ash from York who fishes whitby regularly took the heaviest ling and cod of the day both fish touching double figures, well done mate the rest of the catch was made of plenty of cod in the 3lb to 6lb range
Pictured is Ash with the Bets cod of the day View Boats Page

on White Maiden II (Lymington, Hampshire)

Report on-board White Maiden II
At last on Friday we had a decent forecast and a crew to go with it. The F6 SW was a bit too much in the morning so we fished comfortably in the Solent. See pictures referenced in Your Catches page.
Roy caught his first ever Ray, a cracking very well marked specimen 14lb Undulate Ray. The very nicely marked and protected Undulate Ray came at the end of the flood tide and was soon followed by Gavin's specimen 4lb 8oz Spotted Ray. Both Rays were released.
The lads also caught six dogfish and two Pout which was not too bad in an early March short session just down the Solent.
A point of interest was a huge container that was floating end up off Newtown. It was reported by another Charter Boat to the Coast Guard but they didn't seem too excited about it. Packs of Cigarettes were in the tide too.
Saturday was a better forecast again, so regular crew Trident SAC boarded White Maiden and we headed for the Needles Lighthouse only to carry on and duck behind the Shingles for the first couple of hours. It was a bit too bouncy 'outside' at the start of the day. This first mark was far too quiet so as the wind eased off we headed South and found two cracking fish with another nice Undulate Ray this time at 15lb 4oz for Steve and a big male 20lb Blonde Ray for Chris, both were released unharmed. Steve then caught a nice 6lb Small Eyed Ray and Chris a 5lb Thornback Ray which both were quickly dispatched and went home for dinner! Other species caught were a small Hound and a Conger and lots of Dogfish. It was good to see more nice Rays.
Sunday today, was a better forecast again so we pushed out about ten miles South of the Needles, a big ask for the beginner anglers but we went as a buddy boat to another Charter. The fishing was good but hard work pulling in some big fish up from 130'. David caught the Bull Huss, while the other pictures are of Tom who did very well with the best Undulate Ray at 17lb, plus a Blonde of 11lb and a few Congers the best weighed at 26lb but another lost, after tangling its hooks at the net which was easily 35lb. Steve had the biggest Conger weighed on the boat at 27lb. Steve and David are pictured below.
It was nice to get out and have a proper fish for three days in a row and the fishing was actually a bit better than expected.
Note that I also saw the first Mullet on Friday and a shoal of them on Saturday, that is early! Tightlines, Les View Boats Page
