  • 04/06/2011 Fishing Report by Gary Flint on Discovery (Liverpool, Merseyside)

    4 Jun 2011 by Gary Flint

    Report on-board Discovery

    Skipper still hospitalised, so Sean(relief skipper) and usual crew Daz, took the trip.
    Had a group of lads out fishing that had never fished before.
    We went out and dropped the anchor, and straight away some of the lads were into mackeral. While the rest of the lads got there lines out a few of the guys carried on fishing for mackeral with the bait bucket being filled in no time. The guys had decided to do a pool for the first fish and heaviest fish. The pool began once everyone was bottom fishing so while we changed the rigs over everyone brought their lines in and rebaited. Once the pool had began everybody was into Thornbacks, the first thornback aboard was 7lb, so things could only get better.
    As the day progressed more and more thornbacks were caught and the guy who had the 7lb Thornback thought he had won the pool, until one of the other guys hooked into a 10lb Bull Huss and the pool had changed hands again. After the BullHuss was brought in, more and more were caught wih each one getting bigger and bigger.
    One of the group had a wire tope trace snapped by a considerably large fish.
    As the trip went on more thornbacks and Bullhuss were pulled in and the pool winner turned out to be a 13lb 7 BullHuss. With the last 10mins in sight Pete thought he had hooked into the winner as his line was stripped from his reel, althought when he brought it up it turned out to be a 9lb Thornback which was coming up backwards.

    In total over 30 Thornbacks, 22 Bullhuss, a spider crab, 60 Doggies, Couple of hundred mackeral, whiting and Dabs.

    An absolutely fantastic day was had by all and hope to see them again soon.

    Report on-board She Likes It Rough 2

    Fishing in May was hampered by the weather with quite a few trips having to be re-scheduled. When the Weather allowed fishing was Generally good. The ground fishing has been very good with large numbers of smoothounds landed each trip, On average we were landing 20-25 per trip with most fish in the 6-9lb range and a few good double figure fish were also landed on each trip, the best hound of the month went 16lb 4oz. We also landed 6 -10 Roker per trip so a good mixed day was had on the ground
    The Offshore Wrecking has also improved now with plenty of cod and a good few Pollock showing from the distant wrecks. The Baitfish have also arrived. On our last trip plenty of Mackerel and Launce were caught as Bait for the first Bassing trip of the season for us, it was a steady day with over 20 Bass landed up to 7lb and then a short stop on a wreck rounded the day off with 20-30 Cod. So things are looking good for June, if the weather allows of course!

  • 30/05/2011 Fishing Report by Brian Shone on Lady Helen (Liverpool, Merseyside)

    Report on-board Lady Helen

    30.5.11.Party of 9 Polish lads, what a cracking gang they were. Went looking for the smooties and bull huss. Tried a couple of marks but they didnt want to play out, but the ever present doggies made up for it, with dabs, whiting and small codling. Still a bit scruffy after the recent strong winds and a couple of the lads felt ill, so moved inshore to a plaice mark between some sand banks. Soon as the tide turned the flatties came on with a few nice plaice to 2lb, and loads of nice plump dads, whiting, doggies, gurnards and a few thornbacks to put a bend in the rods, finished off as a half decent trip. Just hope the wind gods give us a chance to put a few trips together.

    Report on-board Chinook 3

    After 15 years absent from sea fishing, I was worried that I wouldn't remember what to do. I didn't need to worry as the Skipper (Phil) supported me in every way. I didn't need to ask him to help he was at my side when I needed advice on how, where and when to catch the fish. We had a great day's fishing, caught every fish that Phil had mentioned. Phil is an excellent tutor, enjoys his work very much and I would recommend him to novices and experienced fishermen alike. I can't wait to go again.
