Report on-board Ocean explorer
Well what a change,for what seamed ages in the cod catch rate over the past few weeks some people were actually catching cod .
The day started slow with only a few fish being caught in the morning on rough ground and as the wind started to increase , it was very hard to do any wreck fishing,so we continued to use the marks we had on our plotter to target some good ground that produced a good few cod well into the afternoon.
Most fish caught were from 4.5lb to just over 7lb , but nice fresh cod they were too.
No sign of any mackerel yet on any of the ground we covered today , but if the cod are late , so must be the mackerel .
To sum up it was a good day for most on board today ,with over 20+ cod being caught , and me only catching a single cod,as did the skipper .........................Oh and the skipper Lee catching a extra one ........................a large rock...........hahahaha

Report on-board Lady Grace
We set off at seven sharp, hit a couple of wrecks and fishing was quiet at first and then we manged to find a few on another wreck. There was some nice fish around the 8lb mark and a nice ling at around the 7lb mark. From then on the fishing just got better. We headed out a bit to have look on some ground and ended the day with 48 cod from 2lb upto 9lb mark and a ling 7lb and also some nice 2lb coalies which was nice to see and plenty of other undersize cod and ling returned safely.

Fishing Report by Dave Builth
on Upholder (Amble, Northumberland)
20 May 2013 by Dave Builth
Report on-board Upholder
April/May Report
The season got off to a slow start with March being a complete right off, when you look back at last year’s report for late March, we had a mini heat wave with temperatures in the twenties. Everything this year is a month behind, with the sea temperature being around 5 to 7 degrees C and the water being very discoloured with green algae, very little was caught until late April.
For the record, the first Codling was caught by Doug Hutchinson from the Currock SAC on the 20th of April. A clean fish about 3lb, caught on pink Hokki’s and cooked prawns (see Photo ).
It was a real struggle to find clean water and the algae was reported to be right along the Northeast Coast and to be fair to the Anglers, with no hope of catching anything, I cancelled several trips until conditions improved.
It was May the 10th until the first signs of any fish, when a group of Anglers from Lancashire had 20 Codlings to keep, between 2lb to 4lb.
The Currock SAC had 36 codlings to keep on the 11th of May, with many small fish returned.
May 16th was the first sign of any quantity of Codlings, with the best being caught by Tom Hollaway at 6 ¾ lb and Chris Wilkinson had a codling of 6 ½ lb.(see photos). Peter Mc Donald caught the first Pollock of 2013, which weighed 5 lb.
With the weather back to normal with strong Northerly winds 20 mph plus, the sea
was stirred up and the water was yet again coloured, with Sunday’s trip looking doubtful.
Sunday May 19th,
Despite the poor weather from the two previous days, the sea calmed down and a club from Edinburgh managed to catch 40 plus codling with many size codlings returned. The Codlings were caught on fresh dug lug worm and fresh mussel. As the day went on the condition of the water changed with the tide and most of the fish were caught when the water cleared.
Monday 20th,
The best fish of the year so far was caught by Joe Haggerty, a fine 8lb codling,
caught on fresh dug lug worm (see photo) he also had a nice 6lb Pollock and lost a fine fish mid water. Total catch for the 6 anglers was 40 plus with many size fish returned. The Codling are a better stamp of fish between 3lb to 4 ½ lb so thing are beginning to look up. View Boats Page
