This weekends fishing all cancelled due to high winds :( will be re-loading all boat reels with new line and replacing all terminal tackle.. it will be getting tested by the hounds / bass very shortly. The boat engine is getting a service and the new cabin / wheelhouse upholstery should be arriving.. so not all bad.

on Duke IV (Ramsgate, Kent)

Report on-board Duke IV
At last the water is slowly warming enough for the crabs to peel and the summer species are starting to show, with good numbers of Skate on the banks and the first Smoothounds being landed.
We made another visit to the wrecks with Andys crew from Kent who saw plenty of quality Cod being landed on the old favourites jellies and shads. No Pollack on this trip though, perhaps another species under pressure from commercial overfishing.
A stop on the banks on the way home saw a reasonable catch of Mackerel to feathers and hokkies, again these fish are not in the numbers we used to catch nor are they as large, hopefully the shoals will build with the jumbo Mackerel being the most superb eating fish around.
The Bass are keeping a low profile so far but they should arrive anytime now with plenty of sandeels on the banks, the crabs peeling and the last of the Whiting still here, there's a feast of food waiting for them. Still some weekend dates available to book Duke IV so give me a call and come along for a great fishing experience.

Report on-board Discovery
07,05,13 Taskers angling shop Liverpool.
We met at Liverpool marina at 10 am The Sun was high in the sky with no clouds for a change( We could not beleive our luck the forecast was for a big low presure system coming up from the south the following day) So we set off,we agreed to try a mark that produces big Bull huss some 28miles from the marina.
whilst we where travelling i explained that the summer species have not arrived yet, we put this down to the water temperature being down for this time of the year due to the terrible weather we had around easter, we arrived on site to start fishing before everybody had a line in whiting where being pulled over the side,then the occasional Dog fish then the odd Dab and then finally the first Bullhuss of 2013 for Discovery was lifted over the side and welcomed for a change the fish flowed in all day with Neil taking 3 huss to about 9lbs but also losing a bigger one at the back of the boat,Peter who fished consistantly all day eventually was un catchable and won the overall comp. Well done lads wait till the summer species come in.

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
06.06.13.
A mixed group today from as far afield as Ramsbottom to Bedale and thank goodness for that strip of ground 27 miles from shore!!
Yes, it was yet another run back out to that ground locally known as the "Wall"
The VHF on channel 10 was alive with talk of "doom and gloom" from the lads working inshore.
My idea is that if you have the boat and the pace to get to the better grounds / wrecks well offshore then use it! Ok it's a steam to get there, but when you are often rewarded with a good days sport then it has to be done. It breaks my heart when I get the fuel bill at the end of the month but if it means that my lads are in with a good chance of fish then we have to do it!!
Dermot Faye from Bedale was the top lad on the boat with a good bag of fish. His second drop of the day netted him a treble. Nothing big though unfortunately.
Again, another fantastic day both weather wise and company wise.
Cheers lads!

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
05.05.13.
Gary Hurling and his lads from Boston Lincs had their first trip of the year today. Once they had boarded I informed them what the inshore fishing had been like for some of the charter fleet here over the last few days.
I suggested that we returned to the "Wall" where we had been getting the best results of any of the boats on the last few trips
Gary said it was a no brainer and we went straight there. With the weather being on our side again ( a beautiful flat calmer ) surely we were destined for top results today!!
A steady picking of fish from the start with the size mark being slightly better than on the last visit out there.
The lads were well chuffed with their catch. The hard work really paying off with a good selection of fish ranging from a Tub Gurnard just short of 2lb ( of which I've never seen one as big for years ) to Cod to 12lbs.
Fantastic weather for the lads making for another good days sport on the Shy-Torque III
