Several more turbot were landed during the afternoon all on mackerel strip baits with some being tipped with squid a strip as well.Needless to say the Devon boys enjoyed their day out on the flatty's.

  Report on-board Sally Ann Jo

  Finaly the summer arrives, the sun comes out, the sea goes flat and the bream turn up. I had Malcolm McMaconell and his party from up on the Humber out Saturday and Sunday. They thought Saturday was good, catching bream to just over 3lb. Sunday was better, again bream to just over 3lb, over 120 between the 6 of them, Malcolm had 42 himself. Brilliant fishing with a good bunch of anglers who returned the majority of female and smaller fish. Roll on the rest of the summer.

• 23/05/2010 Fishing Report by Ray Martin on PLAN B (Southend-On-Sea, Essex)
  23 May 2010 by Ray Martin

  Report on-board PLAN B

  Took group of quality anglers from Southend out to a distant mark . Weather was fantastic. Bait was fresh peeler and hermits and quickly hounds started to show, not big about 5lb average. after a couple of hours the sport died along with the tide so we moved further down river and tried our luck again, a few small dogs and whiting on feathers meant for mackerel and then a nice 13.5 hound (see picture) arrived. The tide turned and along with it came rafts of weed, so another move to the spot in the shallows where we caught all the skate the previous day (another secret spot - only 4 other boats there already!)
  Some nice skate caught up to around 7lb about 6 or 7 until the weed became unbearable, so we opted for a bit of mackerel bashing for the last half hour which resulted in about a dozen..

  Report on-board PLAN B

  Saturday 22nd May.
  Took a group of total novices out, what they lacked in skill they made up in enthusiasm. The weather was supposed to be hot but it started off very overcast and gray.
  We went to a secret lower river mark (only 2 boats already on it!) and got on the hounds straight away..all falling to large hermit baits, strangely none took squid. We had about 10 but as the tide sacked off I decided to move off to deeper water to try to get a few skate. No bites at all, so moved into shallows for first of flood and caught about 15 skate, best one 10lb (all returned to play another day) a few more hounds plus dogs taking the fish baits intended for skate.
  Photo's to follow, my camera ran out of memory, only got one picture of a 7lb hound (the best one was 9.5)

• 05/2010 Fishing Report by Pete Rose on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

  Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

  Here is a report from last week as I said in one earlier post the algal bloom had got worse on some days and only when a clear area was found did we do well, on Thursday last week we had a small group of different anglers Clint and Chris were regulars from Chesterfield another two nice blokes who were hire rods sorry i forgot your names lads and one memorable angler called Ian who was new to me and my boat who turned out to be a treat to watch as he caught fish after fish mainly bait fishing on the back corner he seemed to have a gift for knowing exactly when to strike, I watched him and thought he was very good after the first drift, by the end of the day I was convinced,
  
  Friday was plagued with bloom and everyone struggled to find fish but everyone did take a fry home, Saturday I had a split group John Dixon came with some competent angler mates and I had another seven who had never been to sea before it's always difficult to try and please everyone with mixed abilities especially when the tides were good for working the wrecks and as the ground fishing had not really kicked in we had no other option John and his mates were real helpful with the novices and never lost there rag with the constant tangles and helping with wreck break outs thanks lads,
  
  Sunday I had another group of mostly hire rods and newbies to sea fishing again from Chesterfield a great set of blokes who had a good day with plenty of fish to take back home
  the real star of the day was a young lad called Lyndon who listened to every word I said and out fished everyone on the jelly worm, I get so much fun helping yong people catch fish the buzz is written all over there faces and no computer game in the world gives kids the joy of going on a boat to sea catching your first fish taking it home for mum to cook ahhh simple pleasures like this makes me smile inside, you can see Lyndon along with the other anglers on the video compilation at the end of this post
  
  Monday I had Paul from Leeds who organised a corporate day for himself and his co workers apart from Paul all novices the weather was fab when I awoke around 5am by 7am it had turned north easterly with strong wind warnings I explained this and said we would have a look out in the bay and caught mackerel straight from the off then the weather totally changed and by 10am it was flat calm and sunny so off to some inshore wrecks and ground with nothing doing I came back hard in further up the coast and hit plenty of good marks in around 50 foot of water all fresh codling's around 4/5lb great stuff all on baited feathers so with plenty of cod and mackerel collies they were headed back to York and Leeds with a barbie on the cards

• 24/05/2010 Fishing Report by Bob Marshall on Duke IV (Ramsgate, Kent)
  

  24 May 2010 by Bob Marshall

  Report on-board Duke IV

  The water has warmed up, the crabs have peeled and the fish have arrived! At last summer is here! Been out on the wrecks and we landed plenty of Cod and Pollack on Duke IV. A good trip with the individuals Thursday then back out with Crew Lucas from St Albans on Friday. All caught plenty of fish, topped there freezers up till the next trip!
  All fish taken on lures on the drift so great sport and as Duke IV is a sportfishing boat all small or unwanted fish were returned to fight another day. Well done chaps!
  Inshore fishing has been good one day then quieter the next, with Thornback Ray, Smoothounds, Bass and some cracking Whiting! Martin's crew from Gravesend had a good day inshore with Smoothounds (all returned) and Thornbacks along with Whiting and Dabs, see pic. The Bass should start shoaling on the banks now, you can't be sure where or when, just be in the right place at the right time, keep your eyes open and have some hokkies in your box! Don't worry we've got plenty on board Duke IV!

• 24/05/2010 Fishing Report by Matt Horne on Optimist (Gosport, Hampshire)
  24 May 2010 by Matt Horne

  Report on-board Optimist

  GOOD NEWS: May /June
  
  Things differently seem behind this year, but with the resent turn of warm weather it seems to have kicked the fishing off, down are end of the country. This last weekend showing a up turn in the fishing, plenty of bream and smooth hounds on the inshore rock marks. The mackerel are now showing up, but can be a bit hit and miss, and the Tope seem to have also made a bit of a later appearance but are now starting to show in good numbers.
  I got out on the mid channel deep water reef marks for the first time this year on Sunday, with good results, plenty of Pollock a few Cod the best weighing 16lbs 10oz (nice on a shad!). So I don’t think it will be long before more Cod and less Pollock are caught. The fish are stuffed full of sprats, so it will be interesting to see if it happens on the brittle stars this year!
  I am looking to get out on the deep water reefs a bit more this year, but with the price of diesel at the moment I have to make sure I run with a full boat, “or the cost of a full boat“!
