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

Report on-board Duke IV
Excellent fishing here at Ramsgate with good Thornback Ray and Smoothounds. The big Bass have started to show with a fine pair weighing 8lb 12oz to Sam aged 15 who was in line to win the pool for the biggest fish of the day, some suggested that £40 might not best be paid to such a young lad when Dad Nigel weighed in with a last minute Bass of 12lb 4oz. Nice job Nigel! Both fish caught on mackerel fillet on Ramsgate charterboat Duke IV. See more pics on www.fishingramsgate.com

Fishing Report by Pete Rose
on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
Jul 2010 by Pete Rose
Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
NEW RECORD FOR SEA URCHIN
This week I had a group of lads on from Helmsley mostly novices who were fishing a big tide of around 5.4m, still there was no wind and the water was clear as a bell, Robin Molesworth was fishing baited Muppet’s on my hire tackle when he hit into a huge fish on some ground close to Whitby.
We had been catching a steady run of mainly cod around 3/6lb and I decided to keep the same drift while fish were coming up. Drift after drift fish every time even by his own admitions Robin was a newbie only ever fished from a boat some 20 years previous.
When he hit the big one he had gained much from the codlings that were coming aboard so did not panic at all he just kept steady pressure on the fish as we all stood by in envy the rod bent almost in half.
I knew from my experience this was a real good fish after around 12Min’s I could see its length beneath the boat this is a big one I said still fifty feet down it looked huge, Finlay it broke the surface at the same moment my gaff hit it under the chin bingo, (believe me I have missed a few in my time but this was unmissable)
What a fish I knew as I lifted it over the hand rail it was the biggest ling I had seen for many years, at that moment another angler local lad (Mike Butler from the endeavour pub) shouted I have a big fish on get the gaff ready please skipper in all the excitement I had not realised he was still fishing another rod bending ling broke the surface only to meet the gaff again another cracker
so up to my electronic scales and we all hazard our own guess at the weights and the first ling weighed a whopping 29lb 10oz a new record for Robin and for the Sea Urchin. The second fish of Mikes was just on 20lb, after all the excitement we had drifted a good half mile off the mark what with the big tide and all so I headed back up the same drift while the lads were taking pictures.
I set the boat up again then one bloke at the back who spent all morning tangling the reel getting stuck and finding it hard to get to grips with the drift trebble hooks and the rough ground, hit another big fish at first I assumed he had the bottom again has he had during every other drift but no he was retrieving line and the rod was showing signs of a nice fish with deep bends as the fish nodded it’s head in an attempt to dive this time a cracking cod which weighed in at 14lb exactly.
What a brilliant day even without the three really big ones there was plenty of cod for everyone to take home, once again just shows small tides don’t mean big fish and you don’t need to be an expert to land a fish of a life time if you have decent tackle and a little guidance. View Boats Page

Report on-board Trojan Warrior
Its been very noticable how many undersized codling and ling are about on the inshore grounds just of late.
We found this last year, and have benefited this season with some excellent fishing for the grown on big specimins , on occasion lifting memories of the good old days before the EU. f-----ck it up.
Theres plenty of summer left to enjoy a day at sea on the yorkshire coast aboard "WARRIOR", sailing out of Whitby. and the migrating whales arrive on our coast as an extra fishing experience any time soon. View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Drew Brooke-Mellor
on Yellowfin (Brighton, East Sussex)
Jul 2010 by Drew Brooke-Mellor
Report on-board Yellowfin
First Class Boat. First Class Skipper. First Class Fishing. First Class Day Out!
Last Friday (July 23rd) was our first outing with Kurt, his deck-hand Charlie and
the Yellow Fin Boat. We were a party of five, including my Brother-in-Law from
Canada, who is a lake fisherman, and Chris, our next-door neighbour who has never
slung a hook in his life. If you book this boat (and you'd be a fool not to) take
time to arrive for bacon butties (or more) at the cafe and a visit to the 'Newhaven
Angler' for your bait and lures, where you get a great reception from both shops.
Other supplies are availbale from the convenience store on the same parade. It
really is a 'one-stop shop' for everything you need for a great day out.
Leaving shortly before 8, we had caught our fresh mackerel bait by 9:30 and were on
the way to our first mark. It wasn't long until, thanks to Kurt's expert knowledge
of the area, before we were 'in the fish'. One of the other Lad's, Tim, caught an
amazing 60lb, 7ft long Conger Eel which had us all leaping around the boat once it
was landed and photographed before release to breed another day. It wasn't long
before Rob, from our party, caught a very handsome 35lb Conger and Chris, our
newbie, opened his own sea-fishing account with a respectable Pollack of around 7lb.
I was thrilled to bits to hook my own personal Pollock of around 10lb.
Including a handful of very meaty Bream, our total catch gave us over 50lb of
table-ready fish after gutting and a very enjoyable BBQ was had by all and the WAGS
of the Hunter Gatherers. The party went on long into the small hours and most of the
talk was about booking the Yellow Fin for our next trip.
Don't bother looking for another boat if you're fishing off Newhaven. Kurt Lander
and the Yellow Fin is Numero Uno. It's the tops. End Of.

Fishing Report by Dave Hunkin
on Bessie Vee (Mevagissey, Cornwall)
25 Jul 2010 by Dave Hunkin
Report on-board Bessie Vee
26 miles from Mevagissey harbour today, to treat the boys to some deep water pollack. Caught a few ling and two conger on the slack water, with no success drifting, so we moved to another wreck where the pollack and cod were feeding.
Andy Woodford, the best of the eight anglers fishing, managed to land twelve pollack and a cod, and also the best pollack of the day, an 18lb - er. Everyone caught pollack, between 6 and 14lb, and half a dozen small cod, the best of which was 11lb.
All in all, a successful day, and well worth going a few extra miles! View Boats Page
