  • 05/01/2013 Fishing Report by Ray Martin on PLAN B (Southend-On-Sea, Essex)

    Report on-board PLAN B

    Royal Mail Southend's Annual "Ken Wright memoral trophy"- First trip of the new year-(cancelled last year due to weather) this time weather absolutely perfect. Fished a lower river mark as the rumor mill suggested cod were in the area.. the amount of boats in the general area suggested this was not a "secret" mark... We caught dogfish steadily on our large squid baits, but continually missed bites which suggested small fish were in the area.. We scaled down and were rewarded by whiting and large dabs. Action was non stop and when the tide picked up we had to make a decision to either try for cod (worth a lot of points in the comp) or catch the smaller species and try to get enough points to win even if someone caught a cod... I opted for the smaller species and managed to win the comp.. however Barry Patel stuck to large fish or squid baits and managed 2 decent skate .. one more and he would have won.
    Everyone on the boat caught a large number of fish and the final tally was well over 100 whiting, 12 good dabs, 15 dog fish, 2 skate and 1 pouting. NO COD... but I know where they are for the next trip.

    Report on-board Amino

    Out today with Peter, Mark, Martin and John on a flat calm sea with hardly a breath of wind, conditions were perfect.

    Went to the first mark and had Dogfish and Whiting to start then John landed his first ever Cod of 5lb just before the end of the tide. Martin then had a small bite which turned out to be a personal best Cod of 10lb 12oz :-). A few more Dogfish and Whiting followed and then it went quiet so we headed another mile off to a deeper spot with a bit more tide and almost straight off John was into something big that took line..and more line and the rod bent double! Turned out to be a foul hooked Thornback of 6lb!!.

    Peter then added another Thornback of around the same size before he leant into something else that started nodding on the tip and in came another nice Cod of 9lb 12oz. We lost a couple more good fish and as the tide eased we had a few more Dogfish but that was to be it in terms of quality. Listening to the radio there were a few Cod caught but not in any great numbers so I think we faired ok on the day.

    Here's Martin with his new PB Cod..

    Report on-board Hard Labour

    Wednesday and thursday this week have seen good numbers of cod and roker coming to the boat. The forecast not being at its best limited us slightly in the marks we could fish. Both days produced in excess of 10 codling to 4.5lb and roker to 10.5lb.

    Report on-board High Flyer 2

    Windy old day kept us inshore again! Could do with a break please god to get out to the banks. First whiting in ten minutes had me worried as generally a bad sign,but managed a cod for the lads not long after which caused some banter in my direction! After a while i moved closer inshore , previous experience had paid off, another cod just after slack along with the whiting, then as the tide picked up so the feeding began. Results for the day were 12 cod, plenty of whiting ,not a single flatty! Thanks to Neil from H2 Kyaks, with James,David,Scotty,Guy,Chris,James,Chalky and Pete, all pictured here, was a hard fish today, every cod was well deserved. Big thanks to all the first timers on the High Flyer,hope you enjoyed the day, was a pleasure to have your company, hope to see you all in 2013! Have a great xmas men,all the best. Jon.
