Ashley was using a wishbone rig and vibro spoon.I always say "the bigger the bait the bigger the Plaice will be caught" well Ashey tested and proved this theory by putting on lots of rag and lugworm with strips of Ammo squid.Ashley is pictured with his 5Ib 2oz Plaice..

    Report on-board Just Mary

    A good weekend 29th/30th June aboard 'Just Mary' from Poole on a reef to the east of Poole Bay. Surprisingly we were on our own with the whole reef to ourselves. Black Bream in prime condition with big blue male fish and females still with roe, just like early May fish but in late June ! Good numbers and good size fish to my experienced local lads and some decent quality fish to my hire rod group and youngsters from a local Youthclub, with some catching their first ever sea fish, like the man from Fladen says, 'Anyone can Fish !' Well on 'Just Mary' we can prove that to be true ! I hope these prime condition fish continue well into July, it's nice to get out for two days without the threat of Gale force winds, and find that the Bream are still here in quality and quantity. All the best, Malc.

    Report on-board High Flyer 2

    Flat calm start today which i havent seen for months! Pleasure to be out with a glassy top to the sea. Headed out to a six mile mark i havent been able to get to lately. was rewarded with a lovely 8lb smoothy first off by yours truly, then couple more for Paul, few doggies as well. Moved slightly south near a wreck as tide eased, unfortunately the wind was picking right up, ended up with a 5lb roker, few more dogs. Had to move as the boat started mis behaving so forced back inshore as has been the situation for months now getting absoulotely ridiculous this weather pattern. Couldnt even hold anchor as the wind was stronger than the tide with the anchor out the stern on a flood! early day for us today thanks to Paul, John and Shannon , sorry about the wait for those who didnt show but least we had a reasonable day. All the best. Jon.

    Report on-board Spot On!

    The last weekend of June and first day into July has produced some nice fish both on the skerries banks for plaice and the channel wrecks for Cod, Pollock and ling.

    Plaice seem to be getting fatter with the average fish now hitting around 1lb 8oz - 2lb mark, some nice 3lb specimens also landed and still good totals with 70 fish landed on the boat the day we were there.

    Wrecking has been producing some fine specimens of Cod and even bigger ones getting away.

    The last three days fishing both on the skerries and the wrecking has produced 13 species which include:
    Cod, Pollock, Ling, Haddock, Whiting, Pouting, John Dory, Mackerel, Plaice, Dogfish, Red gurnard. Tub gurnard and Dabs.
    Mackerel have arrived so the bass should be showing soon.

    Pictured is Craig Williams with his nice 'Lean' 26lb 5oz Cod Caught on a sidewinder lure.

    Report on-board Emma Louise

    The weather has played a big part this year in stopping us getting out ,
    So just to update 28/6 went wrecking with 6 rod hires they had plenty of cod to around 9lb not bad at all considering that they had never fished before well done lads and ladies .
    30/6 see us going to a different spot again all rod hires where they soon got the knack of wrecking and was into pollock to over 12lb and a few nice plaice on the way in .

    Report on-board Optimist

    A good days fishing with the Builders, Plasterers, Plumbers and Electricians from Torbay. Great weather and skerries plaice, also a few surprises: - small Dab of about 12oz and Red Gurnard of about 1 1/2 lb not bad but tailed off after lunch and when the tide turned so tried a few inshore wrecks on the way home for Pollack and Pout but the weather had turned making it uncomfortable so very little showing (plenty on the sounder) A good day out with many of the guys wanting a return visit.
    Long days at the moment can produce good numbers of Cod but its mid channel with a 5am start and a three hour steam out and back to give you a good days fishing, costs are a bit dearer because of the fuel used but if you are interested give me a call and we will put a group together.
    Plenty of options at the moment for full or half day trips with some good fish out there
