Fishing Report by Bob Marshall
on Duke IV (Ramsgate, Kent)
2 Jul 2011 by Bob Marshall
Report on-board Duke IV
The summer species have arrived with good sport for Bass, Thornback Ray and Smoothounds. Mackerel now around in numbers some days allowing us to catch fresh bait for the Thornies!
July is the time the large Bass arrive and their is no better bait than a large fillet of mackerel fished hard on the bottom, or fished live when the water is clear!
Fish lugworm for the smaller Bass or Hokkias or white feathers when a school turns up!
Smoothounds can be caught on lug squid cocktail while the biguns like whole squid!
We are picking up some good Whiting and Pouting now on the worm and fish baits so plenty of species to aim for, just remember to bring a cool box with some ice packs to keep your catch in tip top condition while taking the fish home! View Boats Page

Report on-board PLAN B
What a week of fishing.. Last Sunday saw us down at the Knock John tower doing a bit of hound bashing and my crew managed to loose the best hound any of us had ever seen.. To be fair I was netting a good bass at the time and the net could not be in two places at once.. believe it or not his hook snapped - the fish was a 25-30lb hound.. He is still crying about it..
Wednesday we tried again and caught in the region of 200 mackerel about 50 hounds up to 9lb and not a single bass and today Sunday 3rd July we hit the jackpot..
Started with a bass of around 7lb followed by dozens of hounds and the odd dog, more bass to 7lb were taken and then we spotted gulls working along a distant bank.. a variety of lures, baits and feathers resulted in well over 100 bass. View Boats Page

Report on-board Discovery
26 June 2011
Todays trip was arranged by Daniel Porter from Benchmark. With a request to go wrecking instead of general bottom fishing due to the weather conditions being idyllic. We left the marina and headed out for our first wreck which was approx 38miles from the marina, 20miles northwest of Liverpool Bar. We arrived at the wreck and immediatly everyone was into pollack and pouting, but of no size. After a few more drifts, we caught more pollack and a few whiting, and a decent 3lb 8oz Tub Gurnard. We then moved off and fish 4 more wrecks across the bay. With Pollack to 9lb, Cod to 4lb 7 oz. Red,Tub and Grey gurnard, Weevers, Doggies, Whiting, Scad, Mackeral,Pouting and Ling to 6lb 8oz. After a round trip of over 90miles we arrived back in Liverpool , with a group of sunburnt lads and everyone happy with a view booking us for Winter Cod fishing. The lads even left us a few Cod, Pollack and Ling for supper.
Cheers

Report on-board Ruby-D
26/06/11
after an early rise, 7 of us meet at 5;00am to make tracks to portishead from north devon on what we hope is a succesful fishing session,
the journey up was very foggy, so fortunate enough we left early to account for weather and traffic, we arrive at the harbour at 6:30 and
set out from the harbour for 7;00, first things first the skippers makes a nice early cuppa for us,for the journey to our first mark,
conditions were slightly overcast with very slight breeze, we felt confident!!! we get to our mark withing 30 mins of leaving harbour,
anchor up,and youve never seen people bait up so quick, and the fishing starts, first 30mins was very quiet but the cloud cover was starting
to clear which bought a few smiles, then first fish of the day turned up, a thornback of around 6lb, great start. within 2 mins of releasng,
bite number 2, up comes another thornie, funny enough it was the same fish we just released (he must have been hungry), then all went quiet
for another 30 mins, bite number 2, fish tor off, felt a good one, up come the first hound of the day, weighed in at 13lb 7oz starry,
we thought things were going to take off now,but unfortunatly not, couple of dogs that was it. so skipper decides to pull up anchor and move
further out, baits go down, bites came more or less instantly, with a couple of doggies, then a strap eel, a nice codling next rose to the
surface (yummy), with another cuppa going round the boat, things were starting to look up, weather was getting hotter and hotter, wind had dropped
then the smoothys starting biting, with a total of 16 hounds been landed with the smallest being around 9lb, there was a 15lb 4oz common, 14lb starry,
13lb 7oz starry, 13lb starry, 12lb starry, 11lb common, and a couple smaller. with several conger also landed due to the rediculous size baits being used,
so by the end of the day had been a brilliant session, we had one last caSTand another codling decided to show, great way to finish the day. we must say
that skipper and his crew done an excellent job with keeping us full of tea and helping with th netting and unhooking all of fish all day.
booked up again for another trip later in the year, hopefully can repeat the session if not better it.
Catch report:- Richard weston 15lb oz common, 13lb 7oz starry, 2 smaller starry, 1 codling, 1 thornback.
Stefan jones 13lb starry, 4 smaller hounds, 1 thornback, 1 doggie.
Adam sayer 4 eels, to low doubles, numerous dogs.
Marcus horrell 14lb 9oz starry, 2 smaller common, several dogs and eels.
John cardew 12lb common, 11lb starry, couple of dogs
Graham harris lots of dogs

Report on-board She Likes It Rough 2
The End of June has seen some superb fishing off the Suffolk coast.
The ground fishing has been some of the best we have seen for years, The run of smoothounds has been fantastic, on most trips landing well over 25 fish per trip. The size of the hounds this past week has been good with at least 10 double figure fish landed each day if it didn’t look over 12lb we did not even bother weighing them! On the best day we had a 16lb 8oz, 17lb 8oz and a 25lb 8oz.
The bass fishing on the ground has improved our best day last Fri saw us land 7 Bass all between 4-6lb along with 20+_hounds 6 pack tope and 3 Roker to double figure not a bad day for just 5 anglers!
Sunday again saw us ground fishing with two fantastic fish landed for bill Hutchings party. Best fish of the day was a toss up between Bills Roker at 18lb 3oz a massive fish for this time of year, Or a 11lb 8oz bass caught by Steve on his first ever fishing trip!
Bills party on Sunday landed 24 Hounds 8 pack Tope, 1 Bass and 5 Roker all in just 6 hours fishing well done all
The last couple of trips have been offshore wrecking with good numbers of cod and Pollock landed our best day on the Pollock was 24 fish up to double figures who says there are no Pollock in the North sea! View Boats Page

Report on-board Warrior II
Hi Everyone, Summer is finally here. The shark season exploded into life last week with Murray Collings (Swallow) catching the first three sharks in one day. Since then, all boats that have been on shark fishing trips out of Looe, have all been sucessful in catching, including yours truly, on Saturday 25th June (my first shark trip of 2011). Caught three sharks in total, including one of just under 100lbs (!) and missed a fourth. I would suggest that if you haven't booked your fishing trips yet, get dialling!! See you soon! Regards Pete
