  • 16/11/2010 Fishing Report by Bob Nunn on Last Laugh (Lymington, Hampshire)

    Report on-board Last Laugh

    Great day out not seen cod of this calibre for over 20 years at Lymington. We had 4 over 20lb with the best at 28lb. It appears Lymington is back to it's best and this could be the year for many big cod.
    We also had plenty of Dogs/Whiting/Pouting/Conger.
    So get yourself booked out on Last Laugh before Xmas, great skipper, lots of tea and I believe a few spaces still avaliable.
    See catch gallery on the website for some of the pictures..

  • 18/11/2010 Fishing Report by annabelle lowe on Atlantic Diver / Atlantic Explorer (Newquay, Cornwall)

    Report on-board Atlantic Diver / Atlantic Explorer

    Fish, fish and more fish...made for exciting days and happy anglers this year aboard Atlantic Diver and our latest acquesition the Bounty . 8-9lb codling were coming in plentiful supply all summer. Tope in all sizes up to 35lb were a regular catch during late season and left fishermen taking back tales to the pub ( not literally) of their exciting haul as well as leaving smiles on the faces of skippers Chris Lowe and Aaron Trebillcock. (All sharks were returned to the sea as per the SSACN Tope Code of Best Practise). 12lb pollack, conger eel, 15lb ling, wrasse , john dory, red,grey and striped gurnard, black bream, garfish, smooth hound and of course copious amounts of good sized mackerel fit for the bar-b-que. A visit from TV chef Valentine Warner to eat what we caught proved very fruitful and sitting back in the breath takingly beautiful Newquay Bay whist the spoils of the day were cooked for us on board proved to be one of the most enjoyable days work we,ve had. An appearance by a pod of playful bottlenose dolphins jumping in our bow waves rounded the day off to perfection!!!!! Thanks Aaron for the tip off.
    Regular customer John Crisp booked a months fishing on and off with family and friends late season and caught more in a days fishing with Atlantic Diver than all season at home in South Hampton....Happy Days!! He spent the rest of his Cornish adventure tasting the delights of Falmouth Oysters and pints of Skinners Penny-Come-Quick real ale at the Falmouth Oyster Festival. as well as sampling the delights of Newquay.
    The season continues throughout the winter for those interested as we start up the smoker......hmmmm yummy.
    ( Val's TV programme will show some time in the spring 2011)

    Report on-board Razorbill 3

    The fishing has picked up since my last report, We are getting some good double figure COD and THORNBACKS, The WHITING are still around in good numbers but there are still some days when you just can't find COD ????? We are starting to get some good numbers of CODLING and this means that they will stay around after Christmas and by then should put on some extra weight.

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    A cracking forecast for today allowing us to stretch our legs a bit. Using the tide we decided to have a go at a couple of wrecks some 25 miles North of the harbour. One of our regular crews had the boat booked today. Gin clear water out there with all the fish taking the shads and the pirks. The " motley " crew pictured are from left to right : Paul Pantellerisco ( Southport ) Guy Wrightson ( Pontefract ) John Purvis ( Whitby ) Gary Snaith ( Whitby ) Kev Sixsmith ( Whitby ) and Jim from Southport. Rich Simpson took the helm whilst I got the picture. Cheers Richy !! Winter fishing so often better than the summer here at Whitby as these lads can vouch for !!

    Plenty of whiting and dreaded dogfish still about although today we also had several skate upto double figures. The Cod still seem patchy on the ground although the few that have been caught are of a good stamp.

    Report on-board Rapid Fisher

    Another spell of settled weather and a short hop over to the Isle of Wight at 18 knots saw some cracking fishing. Although it was supposed to be a cod trip 13 congers were caught along with a 8lb bass as wellas some fine double figured cod..

    A loud shout "NET" was heard from the back of the boat and what was waiting? ......... A 13lb 14oz BASS!!!!!
