    jfk two breezy weekend plenty fish

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Monday 2nd may
    been out today a little breezy but really comfortable aboard jfk two.
    opted for the inshore marks again today, with the stiff breeze, again fish from the first drop. [hadn't even stopped the engines yet]
    3 rods straight into fish, lovely clean white bellied spring cod. 2.5 to 4lbs, lovely start.
    and steady away practically all day. the odd slower spell, but then a mad burst of fish.
    coming over the gunnels. mostly 2 to 4lbs but then you would hit, spells of cod around the 6lbs mark. all the fish giving a cracking fight, fighting as if they were twice the weight they are in the shallow water.
    everybody having a good day, best angler john taking 18 fish home others ant and dan taking 12 -14 fish each,
    overall a lovely day out [despite the wind and rain]
    there's no doubt the spring cod have arrived in force both on the wrecks and inshore

  • 02/04/2016 Fishing Report by James Michael Redden on Sapphire 2 charters (Sunderland, Tyne and Wear)

    2 Apr 2016 by James Michael Redden

    Report on-board Sapphire 2 charters

    Despite drizzly weather and a slightly uncomfortable swell for those of us without good sea-legs my son Mark and I just had a great day out aboard the Sapphire. There were just seven of us fishing on the boat including second in command Michael who only fished intermittently between rushing to the aid of anyone who happened to get his sinker anchored to whatever wreck we were fishing or re-tackling for the three young guys at the stern who were using the boats rods. Both he and skipper Peter were ever-present and quick to recognise and assist someone with a problem which meant fishing could be resumed with the least amount of fuss and time lost. (I've encountered many skippers who never left the wheelhouse and deck-hands who were both brusque and taciturn when being put upon to sort the problems of us lesser-mortals) Although the fish were not always playing fair by leaping onto our baited hooks whenever we wanted them to it never got boring either as we moved frequently enough to keep the excitement of expectation alive. Needless to say, I was more than happy with my catch with the biggest two fish being a nice six-pound cod which was soon to be over-shadowed by a whopping great Pollack weighing in at sixteen and a half pound. ( Well, I did quip after catching the six-pounder that the next one has to be in double figures) Son mark also caught a similar-sized cod as did others on the boat and no-one on the boat left without a fish in the bag.
    Now, I've been on boats before where either the lack of fish, the sea-state or the weather could easily lead to a really miserable day but with the jocular double-act of Peter and Michael keeping up the spirits with their jolly brand of humorous banter it's hard to see how your day could be miserable aboard the Sapphire. The Sapphire therefore is what I would call a "Happy Boat". It has my wholehearted recommendation so in the immortal words of Arnold Schwartzeniger and some American WW2 general who may be called Patton: I'll be back!!!

    Report on-board JFK TWO

    SPRING AT LAST
    managed a day out Sunday 29th march
    actually turned out to be a nice springs day, feeling pleasantly warm and a nice sea state for a change.
    feels like we've eventually turned the corner now
    and the fishing wasn't to bad either with fish off most wrecks we visited, nothing massive but a nice stamp of fish
    mainly in the 5-7lbs range with the best angler spawny jimmy taking 9 fish the others averaging around 6 a piece.
    the best cod going 7lbs and also Pollack to 7lbs and also a couple of early season catfish [wolfish]
    roll on the summer,
    cheers allan

    Report on-board TRIO lll

    Hi all,
    Things here at Hartlepool are starting to warm up we had a regular group out today
    They had a great day out with a regular stream of cod coming aboard mainly in the 3 to 4lb bracket with the occasional 6 to 8lber coming aboard
    There were plenty returned that were just size squid and prawn baits worked best but shads and pirks took there fair share

    Here is a picture of Dave showing the average stamp
