Fished to the north of the town today with a bit of chop in the water it was a good call plenty of Spotty Dogs of all sizes when we started to fish at the back end of the ebb Arron got into the first fish a big Hound coming in at 5lb gave him a good run then Simon had a cracking uptide bite what I thought would be a good sized Bass ended up a 6lb Cod then he followed it up with another Cod a bit smaller then it was Arrons turn again he picked up a 4lb Rooker Gary and Dan were only picking up Spottys so there was plenty of banter then as we were packing up Arron had another big Hound touching 8lb well done you boys and look forward to seeing you all again soon,Brian.

after a week off due to weather conditions headed out not knowing what to expect things were a bit slow on the flood with 6 bass and a few spotties and smoothies coming aboard, didnt know if i should make a move but decided to see how the start of the ebb fished before making a decision. As the flow picked so did the fishing with bass coming in frequently with a couple of thornbacks thrown in for good measure ending the day with 19 bass to 5.5lb, 2 thornbacks to 4lb and loads of spotties and smoothies a good day had by all View Boats Page

Report on-board Amino
After a successful first ever trip on Amino two weeks ago, Arthur and crew came out for their 2nd trip and got amongst some decent fish again and a fair number of species as per yesterdays trip.
Thornback were the main species with fish to over 10lb again, plenty of LSD's (too many today!!!!!!!!!!!!), we also had 4 more Spurdogs although they were only small fish, several Smoothounds and a small Bass. We lost a decent hound at the boat (estimated 15lb+) after it had rolled on the line as well as a couple of skate that tested the kit to the max in the stronger part of the tide but with the sun blistering down and a flat calm sea, it didn't dampen the spirits too much....
I am nearly booked up for weekend trips til the end of June with the odd Sat / Sun still left so if you fancy a trip, give me a call. View Boats Page

Report on-board Amino
After having postponed Damien Baldwins group for several months now due to bad weather, we managed to get out..much to their relief..and I think the wait was worthwhile ;-)
Several LSD's graced the boat before the first Thornback arrived, then on his first ever fishing trip, newbie Paul Lowe landed his and Amino's first ever double figure Spurdog at 14lb 8oz. After weighing and photos the fish was returned...cracking start....
Then the Newbie struck again, this time with a 12lb Thornback..much to the disgust of the rest of the crew..and so began the banter...
Then Damien who has been wanting to catch a Smoothound for years(and hasnt stopped banging on about it) had one on and went to lift it from the water...you guessed it...plop..off the hooks at the boat...more banter ensued...
Matt Crowe had a couple of Smoothound to add to Damiens woes, best going tad under 8lb...
Next up was Colin Allaton, never had a Thornback before and pulled one in at a tad under 8lb...
Newbie struck again with a couple more Thornback before Damien hooked up with something that started taking line...after playing for about 5 minutes, a big silver fish came from the depths, (Damien got all excited thinking double figure Smoothie) and up popped this cracking Spur of 15lb 8oz(pictured)...I had to triple weigh her cos she looked and felt much bigger than the earlier fish....again she was returned after photos and swam off strongly..
A few more Thornbacks were had and some more smaller Spurs and Smoothounds, a small Bass also for Colin as well as more LSD's and then...... Matts peeler bait was picked up by something that never allowed him to catch up the slack on the uptider, bent the rod double, peeled 40lb braid off the clutch before breaking on the swivel....we will never know, but it would have been something special....
Total for the day was 9 Thornback, 6 Spurdog, 1 Bass, 4 Hounds and loads of LSD's. Cracking day, cracking banter, cracking fish :-)) View Boats Page
