Fishing Report by Bob Marshall
on Duke IV (Ramsgate, Kent)
3 Feb 2011 by Bob Marshall
Report on-board Duke IV
The fishing has been tough with the large sprat shoals that take the Cod up in the water making them difficult to catch. The good news is the sprats are thinning out so the Cod should return to bottom feeding. There are plenty of Dabs and the Whiting are still here and as the water temperatures warm the better fish should move inshore. The spring run of Codling should start anytime now also the Skate will be moving in so call me and come on down to Ramsgate there are plenty of dates available including some weekends!

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
The last 4 days here at Whitby have been excellent both weather wise and fish wise. The settled spell began last Thursday afternoon and come Friday we had near perfect conditions which lasted up to todays trip. The weather allowed us to tear off to the "wall" ( 27 mile ) on each of the last 4 days which produced some cracking fishing. Plenty of cod and ling for the table with the best fish coming aboard today. A couple of bull seals pestered us for a couple of hours the last 2 days but hey they have to feed as well !! Pictured with a lovely cod of 12lbs is John Ashton from Anglesey. ( Best lures have been the shads and the best bait has been squid tipped on the hokkai )

Report on-board PLAN B
January has been a non event as far as the fishing has gone.. The sprat and snow melt have just about killed it. I have tried the last 2 weeks but it has been a waste of time. Just dabs the odd whiting and this tiny codling .. Lets hope the skate season is like it was last year..

Report on-board Grey Viking
Friday 21st January - Red Letter Day for start of 2011 Wrecking season on Grey Viking
Well the wrecking season for 2011 got off to an amazing start today aboard Grey Viking, with some of the best early season wreck fishing we’ve ever seen. Today was a speculative trip originally planned as an inshore Cod fishing trip but I decided to offer the crew a go out on the wrecks based on a good weather window and a hunch. Boy did that prove to be a good decision today. If only all days could be as good (I wish) !!
The distances involved to my chosen area meant we had 5 hours of steaming and 4 hours of fishing, with a 45 minute slack in the middle, so it was a small fishing window. But the crew of 8 (including 5 newcomers to wreck fishing) were up for it, so we went for it!
Well, we ended up with 27 Cod including a 30lb 3oz monster, a 25lb, 22lb, 19lb and loads in the 15lb to 18lb bracket. Alongside this we had a few smaller Cod plus 3 smallish Pollack giving a haul of 30 fish in total with a total catch weight in excess of 450lb !
Seven of the eight anglers aboard recorded a personal best as follows:
* 30lb 4oz Cod – Warren Slatter
* 25lb Cod – Dan Dice
* 22lb Cod – Clive Marshall
* 19lb Cod – Gary Tidd
* 18lb Cod – Dan Batchelor
* 18lb Cod Ben Waddington
* 15lb Cod – Gazza Tidd View Boats Page

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
A break in the weather today at last ( or so we thought ! ) A mixed group of lads again on the Shy - Torque today aiming to try and gather some nice winter cod had to work their socks off to achieve success ! A fresh N Westerly hindered us somewhat and limited us to the 9 mile ground, however towards slack water and into the change of tide we saw a good few cod come to the shad. Best fish being that of Ian Pilkington from Accrington at just over 7lbs ( pictured )
