Report on-board Razorbill 3
Well with the strong winds that we have had it has not been easy to get to the marks that we would fish at this time of the year but it has made us work harder to find the fish for our customers, We are still getting some good Smothounds and Skate but the Codling are starting to show with more each trip and with Bass, dogs ,whiting and some good Dabs we have been getting some good mixed bags If you haven,t booked for the winter Cod season yet Start thinking now!After last years fantastic season this year looks like it will be as good with bigger fish, I have had reports that the fish are much bigger so don,t be dissapointed!!!

A big thank you to the lads at Breaksea Boats who delivered Predator to me on Saturday. Their journey from Brixham was not for the faint hearted as they had to contend with strong easterly winds.
I still have a few weekend dates available in October & November so call or email me now for a trip on a new, fast Evolution 30. View Boats Page

Report on-board Galloper
well it seems like the autumn fish are here now, apart from the wind making the conditions a little uncomfortable we found some at the weekend. we started the day in the deeper water trying to aviod the swell but when the tide changed we were able to get where we wanted and were soon into much better fishing. we finished the day with 32 thornbacks aswell as a load of bits and bobs. a few codling have started to show inshore now although we didnt have any some of the other boats that stayed closer in saw some to 5-6lbs and i reckon we will see a few more of these on this next set of big tides this weekend.

Report on-board Flamer IV
THE CREAM OF DEVONSHIRE WITH A BIT OF CORNISH - Mark Collins and friends from Dartmouth and Gordon from Cornwall travelled to Weymouth for a day aboard Flamer III to sample the black bream and flatty fishing and they were not dissapointed.Breezy conditions did not make things easy for them.First we stopped and caught plenty of mackerel for bait.Then several drifts on the mussel beds on the edge of the Portland race produced some reasonable black bream on squid strips and scollop frill baits.Then a move for a session on the famous Shambles Bank saw four Brill,two turbot and plaice come aboard along with some gurnards and more mackerel.The suceessful bait being mackerel strip.The lads were well happy and vowed to come back for another trip.Pictured is Mark Collins with his first ever Brill which weighed 5Ib 8oz.

Report on-board Grey Viking
Fantastic weather and a great day out ground fishing. It seemed the fish fancied a bit of sunbathing too as they were eager to take the hook and spend a while onboard. Plenty of fish were caught today. Bream were in abundance and one lucky lady landed a tope. Smiles all round.

Fishing Report by Bob Marshall
on Duke IV (Ramsgate, Kent)

Report on-board Duke IV
After a long and interesting summer with excellent Cod fishing on the wrecks with good numbers of doubles, we are finding them inshore now early September, this is early and may, we hope, be a prelude to an excellent winter. Plenty of Whiting around, the Bass seem to be chasing these more since the decline in sandeels. Seeing 12oz Whiting being chased to the surface and the herring gulls trying to eat what’s really too big can be amusing as they fight over the unfortunate fish. The Bass fishing has been sporadic, shoaling some days and others can’t find them anywhere with just the odd fish showing. Quality Skate still around just last week Jed fishing with Nic Farmers group returned a pregnant female of 13lb. Mackerel still thin on the ground, perhaps due to the winds constantly stirring up the water, fresh mackerel the best summer bait for Skate, frustrating when you struggle to get enough. The Bass should stay around until October so on a good day it’s possible to get a Ramsgate grand slam of Bass, Cod, Smoothound and Skate all in the one day ! View Boats Page

Report on-board Swin Ranger
saterday the 5th and sunday the 6th of sept not exactly smoking rod tips but the winter cod are starting to appear weights of between 2 to 4 lb also with the odd stray bass and thornback things are looking up at last the weather was pretty grim on saterday but no sickness so it has to be a good day as the month progresses im sure it will only get better as for sunday the weather was slightly better but the fishing was more spread out when they came it was brief and then a long patient wait for the next lot roll on the cold weather for some cracking cod fishing

FLAMER III - AUGUST REPORT - The flatty fishing was just superb with plaice in the 4 to 5Ib plus range being landed and plenty of brill up to 7Ib 4oz and turbot up to 9Ib also being caught.For some reason the black bream fishing has not been up to what you would expect at this time of year.The reefs produced bull huss,congers,rays,cod,tope and lots of other species.The offshore wrecks still had some cod,ling and bass on them.My 5 day Flamer III Summer Festival was a great success and will be held in August again in 2010.The Flamer III species count for 2009 stands at 51 different species so far.Flamer III August Fish of the Month was awarded to Stewert Huggins for his near record Undulate Ray weighing 19Ib.(Stewert is pictured with his big Undulate Ray).

Report on-board Sally Ann Jo
Winds and weather were not kind in August, however when we have got out the fishing has been good. Pollack to 14lbs and bass from the wrecks on lures when the tides have been smaller. From the banks and reefs a variety of fish including bream, bass, rays, gurnard tope and hounds. Probably the best fish this month was a conger of 50lbs from rough ground at night to Trigger on his first boat trip and his first conger too! Now the evenings are drawing in more opportunity for an evening trip targeting this species are available before the water cools and they move into deeper water. Hopefully the weather will be better for the comming autumn.
