Report on-board Razorbill 3
The forcast for today was for strong winds , as we left this morning the wind was South West 3/4 and bright, I went to a mark that has fished OK this spring and as soon as we started fishing we had a CODLING, by high water we had 7 CODLING and as the tide started to ebb we started to get some fish, we landed 17 CODLING to 4lb, not bad for 6 hire rods.

Report on-board Razorbill 3
Fishing over the weekend was ok on Saturday, The weather was fine with no wind but Sunday the wind and rain returned so it was a short day. Saturday the fishing inshore was much as it has been with CODLING from 10" to 4lb, Offshore the the fish seem to be returning with some better CODLING around 4/6lb, Let,s hope that this is the return of some good sport.

Fishing has started to pick up a bit, Over the last week we have seen a few more fish with some bigger CODLING mixed in,Over the next set of tides we should see more CODLING arrive and if it warms up a bit the THORNBACKS should start to make a comback.

Report on-board Supanova II
Well the 14th Feb saw Supanova take her maiden voyage! The target being Pollack on the mid channel wrecks. We wern't disapointed with a steady run of fish keeping me busy throughout the day. No monsters but all good qulity fish. It was a pleasure to be amongst such good company and a fantatstic spot of weather. Keep your eyes pealed on Supanova's pages in future weeks as we get amongst the biggys!
Tight lines where ever you are fishing.

Fishing Report by Bob Marshall
on Duke IV (Ramsgate, Kent)
9 Feb 2010 by Bob Marshall
Report on-board Duke IV
We were enjoying great fishing on Duke IV early in Jan with a fish a chuck, Whiting, Pout and Dogs and amongst all this the Cod. They seemed to be very mobile, here one day somewhere else the next. A strong tide stream was when you got the Cod. The smaller fish would slow off and then up comes a Cod then maybe a couple more then back to the smaller stuff, the tide slacken's so we move find a bit more tide and we are back amongst the Cod. Keeps the fishing interesting and we are lucky here at Ramsgate with the English Channel meeting the Thames Estuary and the North Sea on our doorstep there is always a good tide somewhere. Lug and Squid the bait of choice with whole Squid next.
Then the sprats moved in!
I have never seen them so thick! The sounder would show a constant line of them around 15 feet below the surface and at times the screen would show them as the seabed so thick are they in places.
With all this fodder around its hardly surprising that the Cod along with everything else has come up in the water to feed on them, totally ignoring our baits. The fish I think, are here but we cant catch much at the moment.
The upside of this situation is that the fish are having a good feed and putting on weight so we can look forward to some good Codding when the sprats move on, this should be anytime now! Where do all those sprats go the rest of the year?
Plenty of spent Skate purse’s on the beach so the Skate must be here, although we are only getting the odd one. The weather has'nt helped either, with the water temps dropping to around 41'f.
Skate will move into the area in large numbers throughout Feb and March and good catches are possible. They are still an ‘at risk species’ so its good policy to return what’s not required in particular the females, every little helps as they say!
Feb/March will also be the start of our spring run of Cod and if last year’s was anything to go by should be a good one. They should stay around through April, then gradually move offshore to the wrecks. The Bass, Hounds along with all our summer fish will be heading our way by now So to sum up, once the Spratt’s move out we should have some excellent spring fishing to look forward to, so dust off your rods and get down here, do some fishing!

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
We have just done the first couple of trips this year off Whitby and both were very successful indeed. The wrecks on the 20 mile mark fished well with cod to 13lb and ling to 11lb. The weather was in our favour ( which always helps) especially at this time of year. Lets hope it continues like this and lets all have a cracking season. Rich.
