Report on-board PLAN B
Back home from my holidays now after 3 weeks away, was hoping the weather had improved.. it hasn't. Got both Saturday and Sunday in and had a mixed bag of results. The weed proved a problem in my usual marks so had to move around a lot to avoid it, but the fish came in reasonable numbers. Double figure fish came both days with some very nice skate and hounds.

Mon 7th August Tide trip- Took 7 out on the tide trip this morning, and decided today we would push out a bit further in the hope it might be a little more lively on the Mackerel side of things, still very slow...Moved closer in gradually thoughout the morning and picked up a couple of good size fish and a few small ones that had to go back. Again spoke to the other boats who also werent having much luck!! Will be trying elsewhere tommorow!!! Will keep you posted!

Sunday 5th August- Tide trip... Headed out to some regular marks to try and find some Mackerel and Bass, very slow this morning... Where have all the fish gone?! Spoke to some other local boats who are also having the same trouble... Landed a few but not as many as we would have liked... Will be trying somewhere different soon if this keeps up!!!
Full day- Left the quay with another 7 customers and went and drifted a mark a few miles from where we Anchor to pick up some nice bait size Mackerel... Landed a handful and went and got anchored up. Had a run within the first 10 minutes and landed the first Tope, nice size at 38lb. Soon after had another run which we managed to get a fair way towards the boat however the fish spat the bait which is always a shame. 2nd fish landed was again a nice fish at 30lb. Went quiet for a while but soon picked back up when the tide eased and landed another fish at 28lb. After this decided to rebait... started pulling one of the rods in to find that all of a sudden the reel screemed off meaning another fish... fought the Tope all the way to the boat, nice energetic fish this one, however unfortunately after going to get it out of the water it shook its head and dived back under the boat and this fish was lost, however we got it to the side of the boat and had good sight of it. LAnded another fish after this a nice 36lb male. Good day had by all, nice fellas, hope to see them again soon! View Boats Page

Report on-board Hard Labour
Sat 4th was booked as a hound fishing trip and it did not dissapoint. With one of our regular crews onboard and a bucket full of prime peeler crab we headed back to a mark fished the previous week. from the off sport was hectic with double, triple and quadruple hook ups. Many of the fish boated were double figure fish and heaviest for the day a shade under 15lb. The vast majority of the fish went back to fight another day, with a few of the smaller males kept by the party for the pot. Tally for the day was 77 hounds ranging from 4lb to 14lb 10oz.
Sun 5th another one of our regular crews and a mixed day of hound and bass fishing was asked for. The bass fishing was slow to be fair but approx 15 bass were boated up to 3.5lb. Again we went to the same spot as the day before for the hounds and again from the moment the hook was in the mud, the fish were obliging. After a couple of hours we started losing the tide and the fish with it. Final tally was 28 hounds biggest for the day a touch over 12lb.
A brilliant weekend of sport fishing on light gear View Boats Page

Report on-board Sunbeam III
Sat 4th August - Half day tide trip- nice bright start at 6:30 went and drifted a few different marks and picked up a few mackerel and a couple of bass too.... Had some returning customers too which is always nice to see.
Full day drip at 10am took 7 guys out Tope fishing this afternoon lovely flat seas and sunshine too... Got the teas made and no Tope (Very odd... they normally show by now) had the first one around 10 minutes later but unfortunately it spat the bait... not to worry had another run in quick succession seems they are running with the bait and taking their time in eating it... however we landed the first fish which was 30lb and then preceeded to land 3 more... making 4 in total... seems that they are starting to get biger now and most days the bigger fish seem to feed later... biggest today was 43lb... Just waiting for a big female now which normally start showing not long from now... Lovely Fellas hope to see them again some day. Especially Mackerel Mick who's determination for jigging up Mackerel kept us in fresh bait all day - Thanks Fella :) View Boats Page
