    Report on-board Rapid Fisher

    A recent spell of good weather saw us head over to the Isle of Wight for our first dedicated cod trip of the season. A good day was had by all with Paul Willmott leading the way with an impressive 19lb cod & 15lb pollock. Not to be outdone the skipper finished the day with a fine plump cod of 18lbs.

    The cod are starting to arrive in numbers so don't delay book your space onboard Poole's newest & fastest cat!!!

  • 14/11/2010 Fishing Report by Ray Martin on PLAN B (Southend-On-Sea, Essex)

    14 Nov 2010 by Ray Martin

    Report on-board PLAN B

    After all the wind during the past week, I thought the river would be alive with cod... It is alive, but with Skate and whiting and dogs.
    Codling are about but still not the large numbers we are hoping to see...
    The lovely flat calm conditions have made it a pleasure to be out on the river this weekend..
    Best fish we had was this 10.8 Skate (one of 6 caught on Sunday) plus some codling and god knows how many whiting and dogs, plus a few welcome dabs.

    Report on-board Bramblewick

    Had a really good trip and caught some bonus fish of ling and a cod . Excellent skippering by Carl who worked hard to find us the fish over multiple wreck's time and time again. His crew man Barry was very helpful and sorted out many a tangled rig's. Would recommend bramblewick to anyone who want's to wreck fish off the east coast.

    A bit of a blustery start to the day today (13.11) but by lunch time the wind eased and it turned into a lovely day. Worked the 9 mile ground all day with a good number of cod and ling to around the 8lb mark. All falling to the bait. Mainly squid baited hokkai rigs. Sadly forgot the camera so no pics today !!

  • 11/11/2010 Fishing Report by Bob Marshall on Duke IV (Ramsgate, Kent)

    11 Nov 2010 by Bob Marshall

    Report on-board Duke IV

    The wind and rain are thrashing away at the windows as I write this report! I am supposed to be out with a party but hey that's the weather for you!
    The fishing has been hectic when we have got out with plenty of Whiting, Dogs, pout and a few Skate! The Cod though have been a bit thin on the ground so far this winter, this is not good when we all want to catch lots of biguns. I think things are running late this year and any time now the Cod will arrive and we will wonder what the problem was. The Whiting are good and fat, coughing up crab, shrimp and spratts so there's plenty of bait out there for them!
    The beach anglers seem to be getting a similar result, plenty of Whiting, with a few Cod!
    We get an influx of Skate at this time of year and they seem to have arrived, as we are catching a few fish on the banks!
    When this weather settles we can get out a bit further and hopefully the Cod fishing will improve, so plenty of lug and squid the order of the day with a couple of herrings for the Skate!
    Plenty of dates available on Duke IV throughout December so get those Cod rods out and come on down!

  • 07/11/2010 Fishing Report by Rich Ward on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    7 Nov 2010 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    Last Sunday saw our first inshore ( anchored ) trip of the season. Plenty of codlings running at the moment after a number of fresh North / North East winds. Pictured here are 4 of the lads aboard last Sunday with just a few of their catch. Pictured left to right are Tim Reynolds, Martin Catley, Alistair Watson and my crewman John Wilcock. These are the best of the cod caught with fish to 9.5lbs.

    The inshore ( anchor ) fishing is often termed as " uptiding " To catch fish at anchor it is not always necessary to launch your bait uptide like a lot of people think. All the cod in this photo were in fact taken downtide of the boat ( NO CASTING ! ) Simply lowering your bait down away from the boat can work as well, as these lads proved. I believe that the term "Uptiding" puts a lot of anglers off because they think that there is a certain specialist skill required for it. NOT SO! Anyone can do it ! A lighter rod can better for the job but we have lads who fish with us with 20 -30lb class gear and catch perfectly fine with it!

    The Whitby Charter Skippers are holding their winter inshore competition from the 4th December - 12th Dec inc. With a 1st prize of £1000.00 and various daily cash prizes too it's well worth a go !! Nice to grab a grand for Xmas!!!!

    To make a booking for the comp please contact me on 07733 233352 or 01947 601233 or mail me at richardward384@yahoo.co.uk

    Happy fishing !!!
