    Report on-board Sunbeam III

    Mon 25th June- full day- 9 Customers- left the quay at A very social time of 11:30 out on the hunt for Tope, we made the decision to move to a different mark that fished well last year..... We made the right decision! Arrived at the mark and anchored up - got the customers catching some mackerel whilst Tope rods went in- before we knew it we had some really good runs and within 20 minutes first Tope of the day landed- unfortunately lost one after a run whilst landing the first... After this point we did not stop until a lot later - all in all 13 Tope landed and all really nice fish- some with a lot more fight than others - especially the one that had caught up the line round it's tail and then shook itself free and decided it wanted to fight 20 foot away from the boat - also 200 mackerel landed really big too the top size was 16 inches! 2 Allis shads also - nice to see -what a great day- lovely weather lovely flat calm seas and really good fun with a great bunch of customers! Can't wait till the next Tope trip at the weekend :) -pics to follow.

    Sun 24/06- half day -full boat. Left the quay at 8:15 and out to a mark that's been doing well... A quiet start to the day with one side of the boat seeming to catch more fish than the other, naturally this turned into a competiton.... All in all over 80 mackerel landed and a good day on reasonably calm seas. Good fun had by all

    Report on-board Amino

    With the weather window continuing, headed out again today with Derren, Gordon and James on their first trip aboard Amino.

    After yesterday's success I took the chaps to the same mark as yesterdays crew and it looked promising as young James pulled a 6lb Thornback in first cast. A couple of lost Smoothounds and a few Dogfish were all the action we had after that so made a move to another mark and ended up with around 10 more Hounds to 13lb 8oz and 4 more Thornbacks to 9.5lb as well as more Dogs.

    Well fished chaps, hope to see you again at some point in the future! Cheers

    Sun 17/06- Full Day- Left at 07:30 with 6 customers- Steamed out to the same spot as yesterday in search of tope, arrived and put out the tope rods whilst customers were landing mackerel- had a good run within the first hour however unfortunately this fish was lost, had another run this run was not as good and the fish dropped the bait. Moved to inside the harbour and landed alot more fish. Will be trying a different spot next trip.
    Sun 17/06- Half day - Left at 16:30- Full Boat- over 150 Mackerel Landed- Lots of Fish and Lots of Fun, Lovely calm sea conditions and a sunny evening... Happy Days

    Report on-board Amino

    Out today with Mark and 4 others on their first trip on board Amino.

    With the weather finally behaving itself, we headed out on a flat calm sea and anchored up and had fish from the off and steadily throughout the day.

    Ended up with around a dozen Smoothound, biggest of the day went 15lb 8oz, couple arouind the 10lb mark and the rest around 5-6lb. Also had 7 Thornbacks upto 6lb but we lost a couple of much bigger fish, loadsa Doggies and a single small Tope.

    We were catching Cod at this particular mark a few weeks back, but given that we are now mid June, it was unlikely we would see any and that was the case! :-(

    Report on-board Sunbeam III

    Sat 16th June- Full Day, Full Boat - Left the quay just before 7 This morning although the wind was blowing it wasn't bad at sea.... Went to a faithful spot and got anchored up, Kettle went on - First Tope- 35lb Nice fish- Not long after 2nd Tope landed, Bit bigger around 40-45lb and put up a good fight... And a first for the boat - Tope on Mackerel Feathers!!! One of the customers started to reel in what he thought to just be a mackerel to which he then found the line got a lot heavier and said said Mackerel had become alot more aggressive - we can only assume that said Mackerel was then Lunch for a hungry Tope - Unfortunately the mackerel feathers would not land a Tope, and the fish was lost however we have never seen this before!!!!
    We then decided to move in shore to calmer waters for a more comfertable end to the day and landed a good lot of mackerel. Really good day had by all.
