Fishing Report by Roger Lennon
on Skerry Belle (Ramsgate, Kent)
1 Jun 2018 by Roger Lennon
Report on-board Skerry Belle
Some terrific fish on board the Skerry Belle. With the best fish definately going to Wayne Milton for his monster bass, weighing in at 19 lb 4 oz. This fish is 5 oz off the British boat record and the biggest UK boat caught bass since 1987. So as you can see that really is a great achievement (see photo).
Our best blonde on board so far is 24 lb. We had a near record sea scorpion which gave us just short of a record. Some of our thornbacks have been nudging the 18 lb mark. The thornbacks are here in abundance, with again, over 20 per trip not uncommon.
As spring approaches we will start paying our attention to the wrecks on the Goodwins where we should see good numbers of coding bass, channel whiting blondes gurnard plaice and most other species. Remember we cater for walk ons, small groups, whole boat bookings up to 10 anglers. Remember all equipment, baits and tuition is included on all trips, unlimited tea and coffee and hot pies for lunch. Walk in toilet, hot and cold running water, heating and seating inside for all.
Now taking bookings for summer wrecks

Fishing Report by Steve Green
on Brigand (Brighton, East Sussex)
29 Apr 2017 by Steve Green
Report on-board Brigand
We took a trip out to the banks Friday and it was one of those days where nothing came easy. Water was coloured inshore (which made bait collection a struggle) and even on the banks we had to be patient - eventually located a shoal of mackerel which mad a fine mess of a 12 feather trace! The day turned into something of a species hunt with just about everything but Turbot coming aboard the boat. Unfortunately for the crew this was the first time we have not had Turbot off of these marks and we did put in the miles - Nobody more disappointed than us and grateful for the crews understanding.
Saturday was a different story altogether - Beautiful day, sun beating down and with a crew of mixed experience, on a big tide the easy option would have been to anchor up with smelly baits and sit it out..... Very pleased that we took the harder option and visited a few wrecks that often deliver early season fish. We had a steady stream of Pollock to 8lb, Bass to 7lb (returned of course) and our first Cod off of the wrecks this year which fell to Steven. A great day which kept Nick and I busy on the net........ Goes to show that if your prepared to put in the effort and miles the wreck fishing is still excellent out of Brighton.
As the water temp increases the Cod should start to show in decent numbers on the offshore wrecks so if you would like to get aboard check-out our calendar and get in touch.
Best wishes

Report on-board Kingfisher
Hi just been let down on full charter booking, by guy called Jamie. Booked full boat then, told me some of his party can't make it. So could I do him a deal. Then rings back to say the rest can't make it because they got footie training. This guy is a total waste. His number is07523 658962, just in case he tries to waste another skippers time.

on White Maiden II (Lymington, Hampshire)

Report on-board White Maiden II
Sorry for the late report on my website. One just can't get enough PR staff on the pay role.... I wish!
Due to some time tiday I have also copied the report with some recent catch photos to CBUK.
This weeks report from 'sea-fishing.net';The weather, crews and fishing have been really good over the last week with five trips, starting with an Individuals trip, last Wednesday. The lads found some nice Black Bream to 3lb 5oz, before a drift for Turbot where Pete tricked our target fish. We then had a go for a Plaice but lost the tide. On Friday the lads found a few Plaice on the drift (needs clear water, which we had) plus a bonus 13lb Undulate Ray on Plaice gear, at anchor, for Guy. In the second Friday short session trip, the crew from Devizes caught our first Mackerel of the year and some useful inshore Pollock. On Saturday the Sebastien and Simon crew patiently fished very well for Mackerel and Herrings on a stunning day at the Needles before attempting to clear a big wreck of large Pout. They had no chance of doing that. On Sunday we found a few more Mackerel and Herring plus some nice Bream. Here's some pictures of our excursions: View Boats Page

Report on-board Blazer 2
Plaice fishing very good with plaice up to 3Lb, Low tides and worm scarce but the best fish came on sqid as we ran out of worm bait.
When tides pick up and the diggers can get black lug fishing will be very good inshore.Wrecks still are not good View Boats Page

Report on-board Delta Sunrise.
After a successful trip for Plaice in March we were back out with Alan on Delta Dawn Brighton Marina Friday 21st April. As it was a small tide we headed out for deep water and were still able to use light tackle. Almost immediately there was action which lasted all day and all 6 anglers boated decent specimens which were all safely returned. Top of the pile were some beautiful Smoothhounds and Starry Smoothounds with a couple of double figure fish amongst the 20 or more that were boated. There were also 2 lovely Undulate Rays both double figure fish, a number of Thornbacks and plenty of Dogfish and Whiting during the quieter moments. A really enjoyable day, thanks Alan.
