  • 05/2012 Fishing Report by Ross Parham on Spot On! (Brixham, Devon)

    May 2012 by Ross Parham

    Report on-board Spot On!

    A break in the weather and a nice neap tide aloud 'Lily Lola' to get out wrecking for Conger.

    The morning was difficult with the wind still fresh and running against the tide made anchoring tricky but after the wind dropped and we setteled down we got some action with the eels.

    All fish were over 28lb with the biggest at 49lb caught by Steve as he was desperate to get a qualifyng eel to join the British Conger Club and get his 'tie'!

    2 more eels over the 40lb mark also came into the boat.
    There were four anglers and at one time four eels on at the same time.
    All fish returned alive after being wieghed and photographed.

    Thanks to Chris, Steve, Giles and Tom for being a great crowd and i hope to see you again soon for some more battles with the eels.

    Maybe we will get the ones that got away!!

    Report on-board Warrior II

    Hi all,
    Well here we are in May and it seems everything is getting going !
    Had a Reef trip today (Sun May 13th) and it was quite lively with plenty of V/good sized Whiting, Ling, Pollock and a smattering of Congers. Bait (mackerel) was plentyful and the lads from Okehampton seemed happy with their day. Bookings are very good for June onwards but I have got the odd day left here and there.
    Will keep you informed as to the Sharks starting, Pete

    Report on-board Excel 2

    Bass catches are getting better and better by the day. Remember the Thames Estuary is the home of the British Record boat caught bass.
    One of our popular evening trips recently produced this 9lb whopper for Alex, aged 12 1\3, from Sevenoaks.

    I hope to see you soon either for fishing or sightseeing,

    Regards,

    Dave.
