Fishing Report by Lyle Stantiford
on Supanova II (Weymouth, Dorset)

Report on-board Supanova II
Hi All,
Well what weather we have experienced over the last month!
I think March last year lulled us into a false sense of security, relentless easterly wind has put pay to many trips for the whole Weymouth fleet throughout March. It certainly is the worst start to the year I can remember.
The water temperature is about 3-4 degrees colder than normal, combine this with coloured water it has made the inshore fishing a little challenging. The fish are there we just need conditions to improve in our favour Nd I'm sure the plaice and turbot will be hungry!
The wrecking continued to offer all anglers fantastic sport when we could get out there.
The coming month hopefully will offer all you anglers some better weather and in turn offer much improved inshore sport with plaice and turbot top of the list and towards the end of the month maybe an early bream or two.
Wrecking should see continued pollack action, improving ling numbers and the arrival of the first Cod.
Pictured is Charlie Butcher with his PB Plaice landed on one of the nice days last month.
Thanks to all who continue to support Weymouth and Supanova II.
Tight lines to all for the coming month,
Lyle

Fishing Report by Ray Burn
on Grey Viking (Brighton, East Sussex)
Apr 2013 by Ray Burn
Report on-board Grey Viking
Well the weather has been frustrating with this unprecedented cold spell and more windy days than usual for this time of year. The good news is that we've been on the Pollack since before Christmas and when we are able to get out the fishing has generally been better than the last few years with more Pollack about. They are bigger too with double figure fish commonplace and 8lb is the new small! All good stuff!! We've had at least one personal best on each trip and you can't ask for much more than that.
Looking ahead to April and beyond I think the cold water temperatures will extend the season for big Pollack by at least a month - certainly into May (the May Rot will be late) Cod will be showing on the wrecks soon too.
Inshore the Plaice fishing was good in February and will be back on top form as soon as this cold spell ends. We normally start Bream fishing mid April but again I suspect they will be late and May/June will be the time to target them this year.
As soon as the Mackerel show we will be doing plenty of mid-channel Turbot trips. These will be longer 10 to 11 hour days and limited to 7 anglers with their own tackle (braid essential). We will mix these day's up with some wreck fishing too.
Give me a call and we'll get you booked up on a trip soon. View Boats Page

Report on-board Emma Louise
Sat 30th March.
The weather was not great so I decided to forget the wrecks as my party was all new to boat fishing and I wanted them to have a good time.so I opted for a spot of plaice, fishing which was a good call as they all managed to catch a few even though two of the ladies didn't feel great for part of the day but to give them there due they stuck at it.

Report on-board Cleveland Princess
Triston and Jim on there easter break decided that a day at sea would be better than a shopping trip with the wifes,conditions were not the best with a North eastly i put the boat on a mark in front of the Cliarmont pier as this was the only place with a bit of lee,first cast and Triston was into a fish 4lb 8oz Cod we all thought could this be the spot then 2 Whiting came aboard and that was that when tide tuned perhaps it would fish a bit better but with wind against tide things got steaderly worse 13.00 it was decided to go back in and come and play another day,i hope you enjoyed your fish boys and will see you when you are down next time,Brian.

Fishing Report by jon old
on High Flyer 2 (Great Yarmouth, Norfolk)

Report on-board High Flyer 2
Thought it best to add a report as we have not bothered lately. This is down to most trips being cancelled, the weather has been in the east for nearly three weeks now becoming a joke . Completely fed up with the lovely british weather look at the picture! Our trips between the storms have been mostly whiting, very few codling, so much baitfish in the water the cod have been mid water chasing the shoals and not on the bottom. Have had tremendous herring hauls within ten minutes three or four boxes no wonder we cant get to the fish with so much feed available. Good news is the fish are thinning out, after easter the tides slacken so going out wind dependable, to the 14 mile marks for early skate hope to also see the dogs making a return . Clocks change and add an hour to your tide time tables dont forget BST is 31st march. So hopefully a change in the weather soon, looking forward to the best time of year, clear water, hot sun and plenty of bites weve been through the worst now, bring on the makerel and sandeels, big bass and those fantastic tope. Hope you can join us at some point ,look forward to seeing you all for some rod bending sessions soon.
All the best,
Jon. (High Flyer) View Boats Page
