  • 21/11/2011 Fishing Report by Peter Everett on Amino (Shotley, Suffolk)

    Report on-board Amino

    Fishing over the last week has remained pretty consistent despite the tides dropping away towards the past weekend. We have averaged a dozen Codling each trip, still mainly in the 2-5lb bracket and silly amounts of Whiting with the odd Bass, Skate and Dogfish adding variety.

    There are a few larger rogue fish at the moment with one being caught this weekend at 18lb and hopefully the next few weeks should see more larger specimens making an appearance.

    I have plenty of weekday dates available so please get in contact if you are a small group of anglers looking for some winter sport.

    Gosport charter boat, Cod Comp 19th November 2011.
    Thanks to everyone involved in the comp and a big thanks to those who donated a prize for the prize table.
    Also thanks to all the competitors for their patients and good behaviour.
    The day overall was a great success except the weather!
    We had 6 boat and 45 entry’s that fished the comp. Weather was S/E at 16mph and gusting to 27 mph the sea conditions were testing to say the least, and under normal circumstances I think we would have been up the Solent or cancelled. Any way the comp must go on! So we braved the condition and decided to fish the comp in an area just north of the spoil grounds.
    Fishing was hard in the easterly winds, but some cod were caught.
    We had 12 cod weighed in, heaviest fish was 18lbs 8oz and a total weight of 124lbs to the scales which given the conditions wasn’t bad, so well done to all those who managed to pull a cod out. I’m sure under better condition we would have seen a lot more fish weighed in.” But that’s fishing for you”!
    At the weigh in: Bacon sandwiches, tea’s and coffees were well received, so thanks to Annie and her team at the boat house café in the marina where the weigh in was held, and a special thanks to Maddie, Annie’s daughter for her help in the prize draw. A job well done.
    The winner of the heaviest cod went to Neil Turner with a fish of 18lbs 8oz
    Second heaviest cod Garry Wiltshire with a fish of 17lbs 13oz
    Third heaviest cod also Neil Turner 15lbs 7oz
    Heaviest bag Neil Turner 33lbs15oz
    This was Neil’s first time boat fishing in the sea, and he walked away with £500.00 of prize money, so well done Neil.

    Report on-board Optimist

    A bit of a mixed weekend - Saturday was constant, cod, whiting, dogs and thornies. Biggest cod of the season (so far!) was boated - see photo.

    Sunday was quieter, but still a number of "keepers" on board, including a good few whiting and codling. The whiting yesterday were almost all big enough for a couple of decent fillets!

    The channel was flat calm (again) over the weekend, fishing conditions are brilliant for the time of year.

    Hi all
    well what a season !! best since I started - 205 (all Blues) up to an official 154lb.
    All told 613 sharks from all boats here in Looe so as you can see, we caught our share with our best day being 14 sharks between 2 anglers !!!
    Winter fishing now, so those of you feeling tough and needing a day out give me a ring and we'll look at weather.
    After such a good year you can imagine bookings for peak times 2012 are already getting scarce so please dont leave it too long to get organised.
    New web site almost there, will keep you informed.
    Thanks to all that came down, looking fwd to seeing you all next year, - have a great Chritmas and new year,
    Tight Lines, Pete

    Out today with the Abbott family-the weather held again for us and on a relatively calm day there were plenty of fish once again with a dozen Codling to 3lb and Whiting to 1lb making up most of the catch, although mark also had a nice Pouting of 1.5lb.

    I am now fully booked at weekends up to 17th December, however I have plenty of weekday dates available should you wish to come and have a go for the Codling whilst they are about.
