Report on-board Bessie Vee
24th July, 2010
Took nine anglers 20 miles out into the Channel for a day trip looking for pollock and cod today. Good numbers of pollock, though no great size - the best reaching 10 - 12lb. Better cod catches, and surprised by a blue shark which took the bait on the way down. After two laps of the boat, we managed to get it alongside just long enough to see it before it parted the angling trace!
All the boats sharking today managed to catch, top boat being the Swallow from Looe, with four, two of which reached 100lb!
We saw a blue yesterday on the surface, so it seems like they have arrived for summer.

18/july/2010 An early start proved that fishing the end of the tides when they are on the springs is a must as you can see from the photos,we left the moorings at 7.00am 2&1/2 hours before the bottom of the ebb heading for wpt194 by 8.30am we had got 2 rooker & 1 s/hound with the weather not to bad a gentle s/west f/3 by 10.00am the wind had strengthand to f5--f6 by then we had 5 rooker the biggest being 8lb well done Les, Anton had 3 coming in around the 4lb---7lb and Rab had 2 respectable s/hounds 1 more rooker came before i decided to pull the plug and make our way back this was a good call as the wind made it very lumpy,a great short trip with great company.

Report on-board Silver Spray II
We have now finished our Alderney trips for 2010. The fifth trip was one of our best for the variety and quality of fish as well as the excellent weather. Day One: Wrecking our side of the channel was slow with only a few pollack in the boat and a bucket of mackerel. We finished up on a wreck about an hour from Alderney with plenty of nice pollack up to 14lb on live mackerel on the drift. A bonus fish was a nice John Dory for Johnny Grummet. A quick anchoring session produced an 80lb+ conger for 76 year old Stanley Adams from West Brom. Day Two: Drifting for the turbot and brill proved a winner with around 20 fish on the boat for the day along with a 15lb blonde ray. Day Three: Another day on the drift for the turbot produced a 17lb angler fish for Jonny Grummett along with another 9 flats amongst which was an equal boat record turbot for Alex Miles at 23lb. Day Four: A fast and furious session on the cod on the way home produced plenty of double figure cod mixed in with some large Pollack, an 18lb ling and more congers on the slack. All in all an amazing trip for everyone. We are looking forward to Alderney in 2011 and will start planning in October.
From Poole the wrecks are still fishing well with good numbers of cod, pollack and ling showing. Fishing at anchor has matched this with plenty of congers, tope to 50lb and blonde rays. The bass fishing has been slow but we managed increasing numbers on the last spring tide on the offshore banks. Freelining live mackerel off the Purbecks has produced a number of larger fish with the best so far an 8.5lber for John Ellis from Swansea. Evening reef trips off the Purbecks have produced some good bream around 3lb as well as bonus undulates, congers and smoothies.
We are now looking forward to sharking in August with our first fish being hooked a lively 100lber which dropped the hook after 5minutes including a pass of the boat. Bass fishing should reach a peak with 10lb+ fish on the cards. View Boats Page

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Sadly we have just seen the end of another cracking summer angling festival here at Whitby. After losing the 1st two days to severe Northerly storms we managed to get the remaining 21 days of the competition in, some of the days a little breezy though!! We on the Shy-Torque didn't manage to take the winning fish this year however we did manage to get what was classed amongst the majority of anglers over the 3 weeks to be the best fish caught in the competition. The leading cod up until the last couple of days was 15lb. My old mate Guy Wrightson fished with us for the last week and on Thursday 8th managed to capture this fine beasty of 17lb 5.5oz on a swim shad. We had to travel to a wreck some 39 miles from Whitby to find him but it was worth it in the end. Guy is pictured here with his fish with which he will receive £500.00 from the Whitby Charter Skippers Association at our presentation night soon. Well done mate !!
