Report on-board Brigand
A blowy February left us with few opportunities to get out so it was fantastic to be able put in some miles over the weekend. Great to have Pete and his friends aboard to celebrate his birthday and they worked hard all day to get land some fish to go with their keg of beer - hope it went down well guy's!
Weather was murky Sat so radar nav all the way out and fog only lifted at the back end. Some quality fish brought aboard, best of the day went Paul Bowen with a Pollock just over 14lb (that clearly did not want to leave to the wreck), Petes's gentle persuasion and our Masterline gear won the day.
Sunday was a different affair - wrecks that had seen gin-clear water the day before were coloured (it really was a case of "you should have been here yesterday"!) so we headed out and out and out again until we found the fish. Almost 100nm covered in the day (loving the 560HP new Boat!) until eventually we got amongst them. Some excellent anglers aboard and their patience was tested, thanks for hanging on in their guys and really look forward to having you back.
Weather is looking snotty this w/end but great in the build up so if you fancy getting out mid-week give me a call.
Best wishes
Steve

Report on-board Duke IV
Plenty of Skate coming up today, mostly male fish so some to take home. A good size generally taking squid and herring baits. A few Whiting and good size Doggies making up the numbers. After 4hrs fishing the boys have landed eleven Skate, the best around 7lb 8oz. A few Smoothounds showing already so prospects are good and we can hope the fish keep coming throughout the Spring.
Still some weekend dates available so get your rods out and let's go fishing. Pic shows part of today's catch! View Boats Page

Report on-board Great Escape
Had some excellent off shore trips in early to mid February with nice pollack. Decided to do more 12 hour long distance trips to venture into other areas, it's proved very worth while and popular. Plan to carry on right through spring. To target pollack, ling, cod and bass.get in touch if interested

Report on-board Ocean Warrior 3
The weather has restricted our fishing lately, but, we have managed to get out now. We have been going out to the deep water wrecks for the Pollock. There have been a few niced Pollock coming up now that the weather has calmed down a bit.
Chalky White had a nice Pollock of 15lb 8oz. It was caught on a sidewinder lure while we were drifting over a wreck offshore.
You can also check out some more pictures on our latest news page on the website below.
Looking forward to getting back out there on the next nice day.

Report on-board Amatheia
Second day out for the Pollock over the wrecks, returning to the previous days wreck and and it was already being fished by a French commercial fishermen who looked to be doing rather well with the set up he was using, so I set the boat up as not to annoy the other fellar, as we were fihing on the French side of the Channel, we had a few nice Pollock come to the boat, with Trevor connecting to a nice plump double figured Ling, but things generally were a little slow so we move to another few wrecks which paid off to give use another good days wrecking with Matt boating a superb 19lb fish

Pollock was the order of the day with plenty of hard fighting fish coming to the boat, with all the anglers getting there share of the catch which was deserved due to the effort they all put in to make it an enjoyable day the best fish of 14.5lbs fell to Tony with plenty more in double figures

Report on-board White Maiden II
Glorious February sunshine! What in the UK? You can't beat that right at the end of the season on a new boat! The lovely weather also coincided with two booked winter fishing trips, which makes a change too. On both days we tested further off-shore in the calm seas and small tides.
Saturday was the warmest sunniest day. We had plenty of time and ventured further off-shore where we had a surprise species for February, a cracking 32lb Tope, caught by Steve Banks. I thought this was going to be the biggest Spurr Dog ever seen at the net as just before this fish I netted a target 16lb Spurr Dog for Bob Clack! Between Conger Eels I also netted a nice 12lb Undulate Ray for Mark Kellett, as well as a Whiting and a Dogfish. These came along with three target Blonde Rays and a couple of Thornbacks plus twenty Conger Eels to 27lb.
Saturday was also the day I learned how useful the AIS feature was for me, while out in the Channel, as displayed on the RADAR. This is a feature I have never had before on a boat. I also tested the auto pilot properly on the way back to the Light in ideal conditions. The oldish but trusty Raymarine Classic (non-touch screen) Navigation equipment was, in thick fog, first thing Saturday morning, an absolute joy to have. 'White Maiden II' is definitely my ideal vessel for this job and I have no regrets so far. She is a proper upgrade, for both skipper and passengers. I'm very well set now and really looking forward to the new season.
On Friday the Devizes lads also did well for this time of year, on a closer bank, on a the shorter six hour trip with two Blonde Rays, a Small Eyed Ray plus eighteen Conger Eels to 26lb View Boats Page
