Report on-board Flamer IV
Sheffield based GLODEN PLOVER SAC came to Weymouth in July 2008 to go out on Flamer III but the weather was awful and they were blown out each day.They returned in July 2009 and the weather was a little better but still very breezy and they did manage to get out for some flatty fishing.Their patience was rewarded with three flatty's in two drifts on the Famous Shambles Bank.First Christopher Lee landed a brill then on the very next drift Dave Roberts landed a turbot shortly followed by a brill for Richard Charlesworth.All the lads had never caught turbot or brill before.The successful bait was mackerel strip.The lads have re booked for 2010 with the hope that they get some summer weather then,third time lucky I guess.The happy guys are pictured with their flatty catch.

Report on-board Flamer IV
BEGINNERS LUCK - Andy Rollett age 37 a pub manager from Bath on his first ever fishing trip landed a superb plaice weighing 6Ib 10oz while drifting a mussel bed.The big plaice came up no bother until about 30 foot from the boat then it woke up and gave Andy some heart stopping moments as it made several runs for freedom.
Andy was using borrowed tackle from his pal Alan Curtis who had invited him along.The successful bait was ragworm and squid strip presented on a two hook flatty trace with lots of attractor beads and some small blades on.Andy also caught a 4Ib cod and some black bream earlier in the day.This plaice is the biggest caught on Flamer III this year.Andy is pictured with his big plaice catch.
Tom Songhurst from Sussex caught his personal best plaice weighing 4Ib 4oz just minutes before Andy struck into his big spottie. View Boats Page

Report on-board Flamer IV
JULY 2009 - Gypsy Mariners S.A.C. for the second year in a row came to Weymouth for 5 days fishing aboard Flamer III.The unseasonal and often windy conditions did not deter them.During the 5 days they clocked up 23 different species which was good as the weather had restricted them to a limited area to which they could fish.Among the species caught were some good flatty's - 8Ib and 4Ib 8oz brill,4Ib 2oz and 3Ib plaice along with turbot in the 6 to 7Ib range.They also caught tope,black bream,cod,bass,gurnards,garfish etc and the smallest undulate ray I have ever seen which was a first for the club and Neil Tuckett who caught it.Over the 5 days a competition was done with the results being - Winner - Mark Cooper 446 points,Runner Up - Paul Costello - 324 points,Most Species - Mark Cooper with 16,Best Specimen - Paul Costello 8Ib brill(which is pictured),Weakest Link - Neil Tuckett 184 points.
The club enjoyed themselves so much again,thet have already booked 5 days for June 2010. View Boats Page

Report on-board Chloe Paige
WENT OUT 5 MILES TODAY OFF THE SECOND CONTOR ONTO THE 'M1' FOR A FEW HOURS.
WATER WAS VERY CLEAR AND THERE ARE STILL A LOT OF GOOD SIZED SMOOTHOUNDS ABOUT ALONG WITH THE BEST BASS WE HAVE SEEN IN MANY YEARS.
SKATE/ROKER ARE ABOUT THIS YEAR IN MUCH GREATER NUMBERS WITH SOME VERY NICE DOUBLES IN THE PACKS.
THE TOPE ARE ALSO AROUND AS WE HAD 2 DECENT LAST WEEK WITH ONE COMING IN AT 32 1/2 POUNDS AND ANOTHER AT JUST OVER 18 POUNDS.
BRILL/TURBOT HAVE STARTED TO SHOW ON THE INSHORE BANKS WHICH IS UNUSUAL BUT GOOD NEWS FOR THE AREA
EBB TIDES ARE LOOKING TO BE THE BEST BET FOR THE NEXT FEW WEEKS WITH THE BASS. THEY ARE TENDING TO FEED MUCH HARDER ON THE EBB AND ONLY LIGHT UPTIDING GEAR IS NEEDED, AND CAN BE SUPPLIED ON THE BOAT.
ALSO FOUND ANOTHER 8 NEW WRECKS THIS WEEK WHICH ARE HOLDING A GOOD STAMP OF FISH, WE WILL BE TRYING THESE OUT VERY SOON OVER THE NEXT WEEK OR SO.
THE NEXT FEW WEEKS ARE LOOKING VERY PROMISING WITH THE FISHING PICKING UP.INTENSLEY FORM NOW UNTIL THE COD COME BACK IN SEPTEMBER. View Boats Page

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

Report on-board Duke IV
The fishing off Ramsgate carries on apace with Quality Smoothounds here in numbers. Chris Wards group from London landing 16 to 10lb along with Bass and a solitary Thornback. Daniel Hays group also from London upped the anti with 23 Hounds to 12lb along with Mackerel and the obligatory Skate, both groups fishing on Duke IV elected to return all the Smoothounds bar 1 that was badly hooked.
The Bass and Mackerel are still patchy with double figure Bass few & far between, hopefully the big girls will arrive soon with August usually the best month for these fantastic fish. The Cod still on the wrecks although declining in numbers. Pollack will increase in numbers along with Bass and maybe Black Bream to keep the wreckfishing interesting but with the inshore fishing so good, why go wrecking?
Quality Whiting still around, these fish have been here since last September giving good sport over the slack tide period View Boats Page

Report on-board Flamer IV
JUNE 2009 REPORT - The cod fishing on the offshore wrecks was just superb with many cod up to 16Ib being caught on a variety of lures,but my favourite was the rhubarb and custard sidewinder which also accounted for some ling,pollack and bass.Ling were also taken on baits.Turbot and Brill were consistant from the Shambles Bank.Also had a 16Ib 12oz Turbot while drifting a wreck.
The reefs produced conger,huss,bream,rays,tope etc and on one particular day over 120 spurdogs up to 15Ib in a frantic three hour session and they were all returned alive.A 5 day west country trip was done and was a success,so much that a 7 dayer is being planned for june 2010(if interested then contact me for details).40 different species have now been caught on Flamer III in 2009.
Flamer Fish of the Month for June was awarded to Ryan Phayer for his 7Ib 2oz Tub Gurnard. View Boats Page
