Fishing Report by Bob Marshall
on Duke IV (Ramsgate, Kent)

Report on-board Duke IV
The fishing has really turned on here at Ramsgate with the Thornbacks arriving inshore and the Cod on the offshore wrecks along with a sprinkling of Pollack. The Bass are heading around the coast on their annual migration north. We had a good catch of wreck Cod on Duke IV for the individuals thursday wrecking trip and followed up with Pauls group getting amongst the Cod and Pollack on the saturday. The weather has been kind too with sunshine and calm winds, very unusual for this time of year but very welcome. The fishing should continue to improve with the Smoothounds arrival, here one day gone the next!

Report on-board Malaki
Well here we are mid April and the fishing started, we just had three good weeks on the Plaice landing plenty
View Boats Page
of fish around the 4Ib mark. Bream are patchy but they are being caught on Malaki we managed a total bag
of 29 a couple of days ago with fish to 3Ib, Fair play to the guys they put over half back. The very next day
we hit the smoothound upto 12.2Ibs. The early signs are good so perhaps there be plenty of tight lines
out there this year.
The Picture opposite - Benn Watts a very keen young angler who in my opinion has the potential to become a world class angler thats if girls, racing bikes, etc. don't get in way, let's hope he gets his prioritys in order. -

Report on-board PLAN B
Briliant weekend.
View Boats Page
6 Good skate on Saturday, plus loads of dogs and a small hound. All anglers aboard had personal bests.
12 Good skate on Sunday, not so many dogs and heard of a 12lb hound on a boat nearby (they had devon crab)
Plenty of fish taken in a small area, my mates on the IN-T-Net and SEEKER got the fish as well, didn't hear of much else being caught elsewhere.
Got a supply of fresh hermits starting this week, plus a couple of trawlermen who are promising lots of crinklies and peelers -so look out hounds..
Last year we averaged 30 hounds a trip.. lets hope this year is even better!!
In the picture - one of the anglers on a nice skate.. lovely blue sky, sun shining, it cannot get any better.. -
