Fishing Report by Sam Cumming
on Silver Spray II (Poole, Dorset)

Report on-board Silver Spray II
Managed to get away just before sunrise this morning with winds at about force 3. Only fished for about 5 hours but well worth it with plenty blonde rays up to 24lb, undulates, bull huss and 2 monster spur dog weighing in at 22lb 4oz and 25lb 8oz. Both were large female fish and were returned alive and kicking after a quick photo. 25lb 8oz smashes the british record but as angler Roger Clarke said it would be a tragedy to kill such a beuatiful fish just for the sake of a record. After this the wind got up to gale force 8 and we had a bumpy steam in but a good day had by all!!!!!

Fishing Report by TERRY BATT
on Vanishing Point-2 (Bradwell Marina, Essex)
20 Jan 2014 by TERRY BATT
Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
Just a quick message to all our anglers, sorry for the delay in getting Vanishing Point-2 (our brand new vessel) home to Bradwell, but after we finished our operations in the Irish sea in November, the winter Atlantic storms were brewing, and the sea state has made it unsafe to make the 700 nautical mile journey home to Essex.
We are looking at the middle of March now to get her home to Bradwell, so thank you all so much for your continued support and constant phoning to try to book you trips on VP-2 it is really appreciated..!! But Nicola & I won’t keep you waiting much longer until the big Cat comes to a home port she has never seen yet..! Very exciting we can’t wait to show her off to you all, and hope you will be as impressed with this ultra-fine vessel as we are….. Until March then……Tight lines

Report on-board Silver Spray II
Just like when I wrote last month’s report it is still quite mild for this time of year with the temperature nudging 8 or 9 degrees some days. Unfortunately high winds from the southwest and, as I’m sure you have noticed, plenty of rain have called most of my trips off. I managed to get out on 2 days before the New Year which resulted in some of the best winter fishing I have seen this season, typical that this good fishing should be going on during the worst weather period. 5 cod took a mix of squid and cuttlefish bait over the two trips ranging from 13-21lb. Along with these we saw plenty of by-catch in the form of whiting, rays, smoothound and bull huss. This winter I have seen more congers on the open ground than ever before, some days it’s not uncommon to see 20 or 30 whilst trying to target the cod. Last Saturdays trip came with neap tides and good weather which gave me the first chance to get out to the offshore banks and target the spur dogs. Lee Cullen managed top fish on the day with a fine 18lber, 7 other spurs also made an appearance. When the tide died away and the spurs went off the feed the fishing didn’t slow down with even more congers, whiting, blonde rays, bull huss and even a tope taking the mackerel and squid baits. Mark Turner got a welcome surprise when winding up to change his bait as half way up he hooked into a large squid, it was weighed ashore at 3lb 9oz!! Hopefully the worst of the weather is behind us and we can look forward to getting out to the offshore marks again soon.

Fishing Report by Rich Cope
on Mistress (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
15 Jan 2014 by Rich Cope
Report on-board Mistress
only a few lads booked on today, so uptiding was again the order of the day.
It was a slow start to the day with us only taking a few fish in the morning despite moving around 4 or 5 marks.
we had a couple of fish stolen by a seal that was pestering us!
as we got a change in tide and another move we finally shook the seal and started getting a lot more bites and a few more fish boated.
with what turned out to be the final move of the day we hit a mad hour and everyone boated several cod to finish the day on a high note!
No big ones today all fish were between 2lb and 4lb. we finished up with a rod average of 7 cod per man, not a brilliant day but everyone left happy
best bait again was black gully worm tipped with squid View Boats Page

Report on-board High Flyer 2
Today the forcast was bit unsure with conflicting wind directions so decided to play safe after yesterdays drama, headed down to the Southern end of the Roads, only plonkers there! Started well really with whiting from the start reasonably regular but couldnt connect with any codling today. The best result of the day was Ian pictured here with a lovely perfect condition lobster around 2lb mark perfectly hooked, i was more surprised probably than Ian, have caught a few before but not this close to shore in the middle of winter! The wind started to pick up and started swinging SE , our worst wind here bad for swell plus getting back in the harbour. I knew we would lose the day after slack so decided to flatty bash on the mud while we could and had a nice little result with some lovely fish, whiting mixed in, everyone getting a bit of sport. After a wave came over the side desicion made , headed in for 2 pm, but was enjoyable ,home early few fish and a great bunch of lads. Thanks to Chris,Richard and young Ryan appreciate you travelling down, also David,Ian,Chris,David Mills,Pete, and not forgetting lucky sod Ian (Posh) Mann who feasted on fresh lobster which we will probably never hear the end of! Thanks men , not a bad day in all. Cheers, Jon. (High Flyer)
