Report on-board Lady Ann
May 11th, day started very misty and murky but we set off anyway, we were fishing a sandy area with chalk patches. Not long before the usual dogfish started to show then a small smoothound. Bait was immediately changed to peeler or hermit and the action started, Simon landed one of about 5 lbds followed straight away by Steve landing a 9 lbd skate !! Action was steady with Connor boating a 7lbder followed shortly afterwards by Sir M. boating a 9lbder. Several other smaller fish followed and even the Skipper Jason got in on the act.

Report on-board Kelley's Hero Charters
The last thing you want to hear at 5am in the morning is the alarm clock, unless of course you are going out fishing, and that is exactly what we were doing!
We left the marina at 0630, and battled our way through the fog, and eventually ended up at our first wreck. All 7 anglers were ready to get stuck in as we arrived, so once we set up the first drift, we were away……
When we arrived at the wreck the tide was still running and this worked in our favour as that meant that the fish were still interested in what we had to offer them. So it was all go go go for the first hour, with a mixed bag of fish coming aboard. Once the tide slackened off there was nothing more to worry about other than the kettle going on, and worry what was going to appear out of the fog next, whilst the guys tried to hook a few more out of the wreck.
Once the tide got away we steamed to the next wreck. This wreck fished for a few hours with a very nice stamp of Cod upto 12lb and Pollock upto 13lb. We had a new personal best for Mark on this wreck with a Pollock. Just as the fishing was getting even better, an unwanted visitor appeared from out of the shadows, which happened to be a French trawler. Unfortunately this meant we would have to move on to our last wreck.
We ended our day on this wreck after fishing for around an hour. We had a steady stream of Pollock being caught. There was a sprinkling of bass on this wreck aswell, which proved to me that grown men do cry……as they have to be and were returned.
After 2 hours of Filleting from Derek, it was time to go and sit down with a nice pint and reflect on our very Foggy day out on the wrecks.
Thursday wasn’t as early to start as Wednesday however we did leave the marina with 8 anglers aboard. We took around about 45 mins to get to where we were heading. As we were on a species hunt we thought we would try and head for some bream first. This proved to be very productive. We boated some nice bream upto 3lb.
We had 3 anglers from the Southsea Disabled angling club on board who all managed to catch some lovely fish. Simon had his new personal best bream, and Mark nearly reached another personal best with a bream.
So after moving around at slack water, we managed to hook into another few species. It was lovely to see some nice Cuckoo wrasse come aboard. Along with this we had garfish, whiting, dogfish, pout, bream. Brian obviously thought he had missed out on the wrecking yesterday so he thought he would go and catch himself a Pollock.
The spot we finished up on as the tide got away, produced some more nice Bream, and a few more wrasse.
The fog decided it wasn’t going to make too much of an appearance today, so we enjoyed a nice sunny day with flat calm seas, a lot of fish, and 8 very happy anglers. What more could a skipper want huh??!!

So i haven’t blogged in about 2 months, but this is only due to the fact that we haven’t managed to get out on too many occasions due to the weather.
Of course we would have loved to get out more but seems we didn’t even manage 50% of what was booked.
Luckily for us and the anglers we have managed a few trips in the last couple of weeks, mainly inshore for the early bream, and a couple offshore. We have taken beginners out to catch their first fish on their first sea fishing trip, taken regulars to try and better the PB’S and even regulars out just to test the water so to speak.
Well we did manage to find some Bream, unfortunately we didn’t find loads but we did get a few. On some days it was hard due to the wind and tide conditions, but we did our best and found what we could. Inshore we had species such as Tub Gurnard, Mackerel, Bream, Dogs, baby Bullhuss, Tope, Garfish, smoothound, conger, whiting, plaice and a variety of skate. If the weather conditions on some of these trips had been better then im sure we would have had a load more bream etc. Once the water warms up etc then im sure they will be in as normal.
And of course we managed out on the wrecks a couple of times since the last blog. The first couple of trips were hard but again due to the tide conditions. But the fish we were seeing, were in good fighting fit condition, Mainly Pollack. On the 7th May we managed back out again, the sun was shining, the sea was flat, what more could we ask for. We left the pontoon at 0730, with our anglers keen to go and catch some pollack.
We did find some pollack, but not too many of them, They were all a nice size and in very good condition. However we weren’t too bothered by the lack of pollack, as we managed to find some nice Cod. This was nice to see and our anglers soon starting filling the net time after time. The cod were in great condition also, and they were a slightly bigger than last year and seems they have changed their taste in lures, in a shaddy type of way !! ;-).
Kelley’s Hero is back out this week to find some more cod and pollack on the wrecks, and more bream inshore……..
If you would like to book either an inshore trip for the bream, or a wrecking trip for the cod, please give me a call on 07795 538933

Report on-board White Maiden II
Had a good day out yesterday on White Maiden hosting and observing some of the England Boat Team members with Matt Osborne catching the best Black Bream at 3lb 2oz. Steve Batchelor proved they were there, at our second mark, with Black Bream getting bigger through the tide. Gary Galbraith caught his contender followed by Martin Bobbet but both were pipped by Matt just before we moved off, for a go at the Plaice. The better Plaice showed up in the end with Gary taking a few small ones before this double shot and then again, at lines up, Cots took the money with the biggest Plaice at 2lb 2oz. Other species caught were Pollock, Bull Huss, Ballions and Ballan Wrasse, Dogs, Pout and Garfish.
