Bass fishing in Falmouth Bay, 11th July 2010
After commercial boats had caught 45 and 50 bass respectively on the day before, we headed for Falmouth Bay where birds have been working. After a short while, we caught a couple of small bass, and then had a 2 hour wait for the birds to reappear. We then caught a 5lb 7oz bass, and another smaller one. All over in a short while, so we anchored on a wreck in the afternoon and caught 25 conger, the best of which was 45lb in the short period of slack water.
The bass seem to be a one-off phenomena in this area (5-6 miles off land), so no particular marks, just following the bird signs.

Thanks to Lee for an excellent day on Saturday.
Excellent weather, flat calm (for most of the day), and some great sport with Smoothhounds to 11.5lb, Tope to 1lb !
As soon as the fishing died after slack tide Lee moved us on to the fish again, with 4 Bass including one for the barbecue.
Al the bike is pictured with one of his smoothies and wearing his best pants.

Brilliant day on Saturday with a good bunch of anglers. Nothing especialy big, but plenty of nice codling and ling. The rather too prolific mackerel caused some problems even to the extent of taking a stripped down pirk.
But eh, its summer, and its great to see so many fish after such a slow start to the season. View Boats Page

Report on-board Razorbill 3
With the weekendweather set fine we have ben able to get to some of the better marks, we are still getting good bags of double figure THORNBACKS, The SMOOTHOUNDS are around in numbers but the TOPE seem to be a bit elusive with some good fish caught but they don't seem to stay in one area for very long.

Saturday and Sunday have been brilliant days for deep sea fishing here at Whitby.
We must have had 6 or 7 double hook ups of cod, during some fast paced fishing in the course of the day, with regular deckings of fine cod and ling. Only problem being the profusion of mackerel, necessitating
the removal of any hooks except the bottom one, in order to get down to the sea bed.
Its wild today (Sunday) so had to cancel, but the fish are here to stay now with any luck. View Boats Page

Report on-board Supanova II
June has seen some cracking cod fishing continue on the wrecks, combined with some cracking summer Pollack. Large numbers of Pollack over 15lb's has been a very welcome adition indeed. Some good sessions on the anchor on the wrecks has seen good numbers of congers to 60lb. The reefs are still showing some good congers, tope and huss and with the arrival of the first summer bream we have certainly been kept busy. The last spring tides saw the arrival of the first bass with live sandeels all important. Long may this cracking spell of weather continue and the fishing go from strength to stgrength, Again, thanks to all for their continued support. Congratulations go to Mike Elvy for winning this months Supanova fish of the month with his PB Pollack of 22lb!
Tight lines,
