Report on-board Crimson Tide
Well we fished the legs earlier this week so we decided to go even further in the fine weather. To say the weather was good was an under statement it was flat calm and wall to wall sunshine lets hope the fishing would match up . We had already decided on our destination but we just had to try one small wreck on the way that we had never fished before, the first two drifts produced 8 fish to live sand eels then nothing for next three drifts so we pushed on. The next wreck paid dividends with fish straight away and all through the tide until slack water when it died. We put on hopper rigs to try for for an unlucky cod , but all the hopper rigs produced were large pout up to 4lb 1oz not bad for a smelly.
We decided to head for home and try the small wreck we had tried on the way, but it was just as we had left it blanco strange seems it had started so promising. The tally for the day 50-60 Pollock up to 16lb and of course the smelly which rolly is holding .

Fishing Report by Glen Milligan
on Wight Huntress III (Portsmouth, Hampshire)

Report on-board Wight Huntress III
Hi All, as a new skipper I am just coming to terms with the various websites available for anglers and skippers use. So here's my first report on the cbuk.
Thank Goodness for April arriving with some good trips so far and the arrival of Smoothounds in numbers and the first Bream just showing now.
Over the school holidays I had a few trips with special prices for youngsters, as normal the girls caught the most!
Last week most trips were about introducing new anglers to the delights of the hard fighting smoothounds, these early fish are averaging 6lbs and they really do go! BUT the bigger females will be in soon too, with fish up to 30lb it is superb sport, OFTEN on FREE BAIT!
The BIG BREAM are here now too so all we need is for the weather to hold.
As a new skipper I still have many days available and have updated my schedule, so please ring for info or just a chat.
I can also pick anglers up in Portsmouth camber.

Pollack fishing mid channel 10/04/2009
Fished an area called the Rip's today and to say the tide was ripping would be an under statement it was like trying to fish a washing machine , so we soon put a stop to that idea and steamed south for another 18 miles to find one of Adolph's rusting battleships. With 8 anglers on board we had just over 80 pollack in 3 hours and no "COD" with most of the fish 30-50 turns up in the water which were all were caught on live eels. The weather conditions were fair if you don't include the rain and the ground swell which was making the ships bury their bows in the morning , but by mid afternoon the conditions were great for the steam home.

Report on-board Crimson Tide
Well to start our day off we had a 25 mile steam to get sand eels which were to be used for bait which certainly ended up paying high dividends. After arriving at the first wreck which was yet another 24 mile steam south of Portland we soon had 41 Pollock on board between the three of us, and in two and a half hours thats not bad fishing i must admit, but that left us with a 42 mile steam home with plenty of time to talk about the day i.e getting on the boat at 7-15am and getting back to port at 11pm,that is one long day.The two in the picture are Tommy Smith on the left and Ronny Lake on the right with some of the catch, with the best Pollock going 13lb 5oz.
