    Report on-board Razorbill 3

    After the good trip i had yesterday, today was a wake up call! Easterly winds and lots of rain, Welcome back.... The party made the choise to go and have a look and as we went down the coast it wasn't that bad but it was raining heavy and in the end the rain made them give up, so we only had 3 THORNBACKS and some DOGFISH.

    Report on-board Razorbill 3

    The weather on Saturday was cool to start but bright, I have been away for what should have been a weeks holiday in Florida but the nice people in Iceland made me stay for an extra 10 days, How bads is that! so it was back to the spring fishing on the East Coast, I had a party of five and almost from the first cast we were in to THORNBACKS, we fished the last of the ebb and all the flood and had 47 THORNBACKS to 10 1/2 lb. Not bad for my first trip back.

  • 23/04/2010 Fishing Report by Bob Marshall on Duke IV (Ramsgate, Kent)

    23 Apr 2010 by Bob Marshall

    Report on-board Duke IV

    The wreckfishing season has started here at Ramsgate and blessed with some fine weather we got out there on Duke IV. As with everything in nature it appears that things are running a couple of weeks later than would be normal. We tried a few wrecks before we got amongst the fish! The water is still cool and carrying some colour which is not best for our favoured method of drifting the wreck with lures but after a slow start on both days we got amongst the Pollack, fine hard fighting fish they were too! We also caught a few Cod, not as many as would be expected but I am sure numbers will improve throughout May!
    Inshore fishing has been pretty good with fair numbers of Skate, the odd Bass and the first of the Smoothounds arriving. Mackeral should be here soon and they will bring their predators with them!

  • 25/04/2010 Fishing Report by Les Jones on White Maiden II (Lymington, Hampshire)

    25 Apr 2010 by Les Jones

    Report on-board White Maiden II

    Struggling with the good weather! Who would have known this last September when these trips were planned! Unfortunately this lovely sun is not warming the sea up as the nights have been so cold. A cold winter, low sea temps, Easterlies plus high pressure is putting the fish off their dinner, that's for sure. The 'White Maiden' crew, Church Crookham SAC, found a few Gars, nice to see mind, plus a dozen wrasse and half a dozen dogs, but no Bream. It wasn't for trying, as rigs and bait looked good and we tested 3 marks. They just didn't want to know or are not there in numbers yet. The pic right, is Paul, with one of the early inshore Gars. Nearby 'Wight Rebel' and 'Our Mary' found a couple of Bream but they are hard work still. The water is clearing all the time and the best fish could be there any time now.

    We had lots of options open to us and boats went off in all directions but reports were very similar, lots of effort and little return. Andy Stevens on 'Make My Day' caught a nice 11lb Small Eyed Ray, Roy Davies on 'Agay' a 15lb Cod. One of Kev's crew aboard 'Voyager' caught a 12.5lb Pollock, these were all good but occasional fish with the conditions as they are. Everything could change, any day now, and those first Mackerel will be followed keenly by the rest of the sought after species.
    By the way today (Sunday) was very cold with more breeze than yesterday and a horrible sea fog that would have made it more of a challenge for all, lets hope they found a few more fish than yesterday. As I walked Hurst Shingle Bank and then had a pint and a ploughmans lunch in 'The Gun' at Keyhaven, I thought I should call a few of the skippers to find out what was occuring, and then I realised, what I may have thought myself, receiving the same call, while sat out in thick fog! So I didn't dare make the calls.
    Tightlines, Les Jones.
