Fishing Report by Paul Fitch
on She Likes It Rough 2 (Shotley, Suffolk)
May 2010 by Paul Fitch
Report on-board She Likes It Rough 2
Our first wrecking trip for a while mainly due to the baccy weed and excellent ground fishing recently. Today saw five of us push out in search of Cod and Pollock. Some of the wrecks are still not producing but a favourite uncharted wreck did us proud again. Water has improved dramatically with water visibility well over 10m and no sign of the baccy weed. Fishing was outstanding with fish of real good quality coming aboard. The biggest cod of the day fell to David Woolnough with a fine fish of 18lb. Closely followed with a cod of 16lb 8oz for Chris Woods. I got among the fish and landed a cod of 14lb 8oz. Nearly twenty double figure cod were caught today out of a haul of over 80 fish. The rest of the catch was made up of a lot of cod 8lb plus. We did get among the Pollock with fish up to 9lb being caught.
The quantity and quality of the fish we had today I have not seen personally for six years! View Boats Page

BUZZ LIGHTYEAR CLEANS UP - The Blacksmith Arms Fun Time Sea Angling club enjoyed a three day angling break aboard Flamer III.The first day was spent mainly fishing for flatty's and although the action was slow,Mike Browne known as Buzz because of his likeness to the Toy Story film character Buzz Lightyear landed his first ever turbot an excellent fish of 20Ib 8oz.The successful bait was a strip of Ammo mackerel.Days two and three were spent wrecking and plenty of pollack and cod were caught along with some ling.Simon who is nicknamed SKID(something to do with his underpants) also managed to catch a conger.Trophies were awarded at the end of the three days and the the results were Winner - Buzz,Best Flatfish - Buzz,Weakest Link - NIck Rip Van Harrison(because he likes to sleep a lot).So Buzz cleaned up with the majority of the trophies.One night we all went out for a chinese meal and trip organiser Matt got a fish bone stuck in his thoat which eventualy he did manage to cough up after a lot of different methods including a chinese one were a plate was placed on his head and tapped with chop sticks.Matt was nicknamed "BONES" for the rest of the trip.The other member of the crew Danny was nicknamed "Fernghi" which I was informed is a character from Star Trek.I also got given a nick name "The Cod Father".Fish of the trip had to be the 20Ib 8oz turbot caught by Buzz(pictured).From a personal note Matt's crew were a joy to have on the boat and I look forward to seeing them all in 2011 for another round of micky taking,nick naming and of course the fishing.
Angling breaks for 2,3,4,or 5 days have become very popular and are a good way to relax with some fishing and the social is always important.INTERESTED in an Angling Break in 2011 then contact me Colin for details a.s.a.p. on 01305 766961 or 07968972736 or e mail colinpennyfu2@aol.com View Boats Page

Report on-board Flamer IV
FIVE DAY MAY ANGLING BREAK SPECIAL for Individuals - on the last day of this 5 day angling break a wrecking trip was done with cod,pollack,ling and conger the target species.I headed to one wreck which would give us a chance of all the target species.The first few drifts produced cod and pollack along with the occassional ling all on the magical rhubarb and custard sidewinder lures.As the tide approached slack water an array of squid and/or Ammo mackerel baits were sent down to the wreck and several ling and congers were caught and of course a few greedy monster pouts.The best ling of the trip and a personal best was caught by Peter Gillett from Ipswich.The ling weighed 21Ib and will win Peter a Mission Accomplished badge from Sea Angler magazine.Peter is pictured with his ling.It was certainly a day were the mission was accomplished for the four target species.

Report on-board Flamer IV
WRECKING TRIP PRODUCES BIG COD - with an early start several wrecks were fished and a steady catch of pollack and cod in the 4 to 9Ib bracket were caught on a variety of lures.The tide picked up and with it the fishing slowed right down.So I moved to a big wreck that I beleive is not fished to often and with the thought that as the tide was now giving a drift speed of 3.1 knots we would be over wreckage longer and give the lads a better chance of catching fish in the fast tide run.Sure enough my hunch/descison proved to be a correct one as plenty of reasonable size pollack up to 13Ib were caught along with some big cod.Dave Barton started it off with a 17Ib cod then Glenn Barrett landed a cod of 18Ib 8oz this was followed by a few smaller cod in the 14 to 15Ib range being landed.In fact Glenn had a day to remember as he caught fish on almost every drift.Glenn is pictured with his 18Ib 8oz cod.

Report on-board Flamer IV
COME ON YOU SPURS - an anchor session to the east of Weymouth produced some excellent spurdog fishing along with some smooth hounds. Almost instantly as the whole calamari squid and fillets of Ammo mackerel landed on the bottom the action started.Lots of spurdogs weighing 13Ib plus were caught including a monster landed by Dave Barton who is known as "Dodgey Dave" which weighed in at 19Ib 8oz which was his personal best and beat the Flamer record by 2Ib.Dave is pictured with his big spur.A few good size smooth hounds were also caught with Robin Amor landing a common smooth hound weighing 16Ib 8oz which was his personal best and again a Flamer record 3Ib bigger than the previous record.

Report on-board Flamer IV
PATIENCE REWARDED - Ray Seddon and crew on their first trip aboard Flamer III and were up for a 10 hour Flatty trip.As I always do I warned them that with flatty fishing it can be a case of being all or nothing but the fish are there.Several hours passed and no plaice were caught and then no turbot but they all concentrated and kept trying.Then in the last two hours seven turbot and a plaice were caught.It was if some one had thrown a switch and told the flatty's to feed.So Rays crew now know that what I said all or nothing regarding flatty fishing is very true.I was so pleased to see them catch as they had been so patient.Dave Beales is pictured with his Personal Best turbot weighing 14Ib 8oz which he caught on the last but one drift of the trip.
