Report on-board Hard Labour
Well what a fantastic day we had. We have done about 7 trips but this one exceeded all others by miles. Carl the skip was so good with helping the novices bait up how to cast explaining what bait would catch what as for his patience outstanding. We had various types of fish coming all day George won the day just with 10 a nice mixed bag all returned for next time. Which we are already planning. Apart from catching fish all day the icing on the cake was the Skipper could make a pucker cuppa coffee what more did we need well happy and sorted. Many many thanks the Finsbury Park Mob.

Report on-board DAWN TIDE II
A quick Report from whats been happening aboard Essex based Charter boat Dawn Tide II
The Bass fishing is in full swing worm baits busy as usual usual marks bug the fish baits getting the bigger ones in the deeper water,
The Lure fishing has really picked up for numbers & sizes the Best day so far this season was well over 200 bass to 7lb!
It dose change out there every day some trips its busy on lures & some trips the worm baits are fishing better. All i can say is if your after bass come prepared to fish both methods theres no shortage out there & i will target them as much as possible.
The Hound fishing has improved size wise the wind put a stop to me bass fishing for a couple of trips so we did a few trips targeting hounds in sheltered waters instead. Plenty about of you fish for them best day was 80+ hounds to 19lb crab baits as usual & we don’t have to go to far either.
The tope fishing has started we lost a beauty while hound fishing locally last week but we wasn’t really targeting them she just took a squid bait it happens. My offshore tope trips had to be cancelled due to the strong eastlys hopefully the next set of tope tides will be settled & give us all a chance to target the Tope offshore.
My Diary is very busy i will try to update my availability but it changes every day so best to call me on 07523488290
Follow me on all media platforms for regular pictures, videos, reports & availability
Thanks everyone hopefully see you all soon

Fishing Report by Geoff Sharp
on Sweet William (Tyne, Tyne and Wear)
29 May 2023 by Geoff Sharp
Report on-board Sweet William
Massive thanks to Ian, Chris, Steve, Warren and their parties for a fantastic trip out yesterday.
We departed the Royal Quays Marina in absolutely glorious conditions; almost no wind, sunshine and glassy seas, and for once, it stayed like that until late afternoon, when a problematic little south easterly wind did it’s best to make the fishing difficult.
As we’ve been doing for the past month or so, we have a little check for mackerel on the first stop…and immediately hit into a few, which was great to see!
The first wreck was a bit slow, with some tricky fishing conditons; the boat was barely moving, yet the lines were kiting out in front of the boat almost horizontally as if there was a 5+ metre tide pushing. We had to try and hold the boat using the engines to give the guys and girls half a chance. Some great stamp codling came up but we abandoned that wreck and moved slightly further inside to some shallower marks.
As we wreck hopped around, the fishing remained steady with every mark producing a great stamp of fish. It wasn’t until mid afternoon that it really pickled up; Steve found an absolute clonker of a Ling, and after a lengthy scrap, with everyone watching from the starboard gunwale, it loomed up out of the depths, and proceeded to give it one last head shake at the surface and slowly swam back down. Steve’s son was picking up a Codling a drop all of which were a great stamp. Warren and his brother found some great fish and also landed an Atlantic Wolffish, which was returned safely. The lads fishing shads were doing really well as the water was gin clear, again, almost a fish a drop all of which were great stamp.
The last wreck proved problematic; when we first set up the lads pulled up five great fish simultaneously on the first drop; and then a strong south easterly wind suddenly picked up making the fishing tricky. I think we picked another fish or two and took that as sign to call time.
The long steam home in the sunshine and calm seas provided ample opportunity for the guys to get their filleting done.
Fantastic weather, flat seas, steady fishing (and the first sight of mackerel) with great craic and company; a skipper’s dream! View Boats Page

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Pete Yeadon and his 6mates from Leicestershire had the first of their two days with us yesterday.
Nice easy neap tides for us meaning we could try a little wreck hopping for the day on the more inshore scrap.
No golden ticket day to be honest but the lads took fish from each stop which resulted in a tally of around 40 fish to keep.
No “clonkers” but some nice plump Codling to take.
A real enjoyable day with great banter throughout.
Sorry about the crap photo! My crewman Fergus needs lessons on how to use a camera!!
Cheers

Report on-board Luna-Sea (Merlin)
Sunday 14th May 2023
Today was an 8hr Individual trip with lots of fish and banter.
We started inshore chasing shoals of Bass and plucking some great fish on every drift amongst the working birds.
Once we had our fill we head out to the windfarm where we drifted for bait fish before dropping the Anchor for Rays which kept all on board very busy with 20+ landed.
To end the day nicely we fished the last hour inshore for Smoothies before heading back to Rhyl.
A great mixture of fish with a total of 12 species landed which included Bass, Mackerel, Scad, Herring, Whiting, Dab, Dogfish, Tub Gurnard, Red Gurnard, Thornback Ray, Smooth-Hound and Bull Huss.

Saturday 27th May 2023
Today we had a 12hr charter for mixed species and the fishing and weather did not disappoint at all.
Bass was the first stop and with some help from a large amount of working birds we were straight into them with approx 30 being landed, a good few keepers tho ranging from 43cm to 55cm. All Schoolies were returned safely to grow for next year.
Then we head out for a quick fill of Mackerel and Herring before a brief play on a wreck.
Next up was a stop on the Rays which kept us very busy landing in excess of 30, all decent females too. To finish off the day we fished out the last of the day inshore were we had just a small Tope on these small tides but a few other species on the smaller rigs.
Total of 13 species landed today which were:
Bass, Mackerel, Herring, Grey Gurnard, Tub Gurnard, Poor Cod, Whiting, Dabs, Dogs, Scad, Pouting, Thornback Ray, Tope.
We have very limited availability over the next couple of weeks with only the odd one or two spaces, so call Sarah on 07863774909 to snap them up������ View Boats Page

Todays species: Huss, Poor Cod, Tub Gurnard, Thornback, Mackerel, Whiting, Dab, Dogfish, Smooth-Hound and Tope.

Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
A lovely day out today with a fantastic group of anglers. Top day in the office for me….
Simon Ullyot and five friends had the boat for their first trip of 2023. With the tiny tide and light winds it was always going to be a day on the wrecks.
We ran south a few miles to our first wreck and pleasingly it gave us some solid sport for a couple of hours. We took 2-4 Codling every drift and Norman Taylor was clumping them every run through. Nothing massive, but a lovely clean fish between 3-5lb.
We proceeded to wreck hop for the rest of the day. In total we fished seven wrecks and just two were unproductive. It was great to finally get a bit of consistent sport.
It was inevitable, but Annie Helliwell stole the show today. On her first boat trip, having never fished wrecks or caught a Cod, she took plenty of fish and also the biggest Codling of the day. She took on board the advice offered and it was great to see her improve as the day went on.
The majority of the fish came to muppet bait traces with a whole squid mounted on them. But, when tried, the Shads were also working, Whites and Rhubarb & Custard being best. A sure sign that it is clearing out nicely.
Everyone had plenty to take home today. A fantastic day spent in great company. View Boats Page
