Report on-board Kittiwake 111
On Sunday 16th it was raining with light south easterly winds.
We made our decision to venture into the Solent as there had been reports of cod being caught by a local angling club.
This paid off for the Portsmouth Dockyard angling club as they boated a total of 24 cod, including in excess of 150 channel whiting .
It rained and the wind blew but nothing stopped the constant flow of fish.
The biggest cod was caught by their youngest member Alex, well done !! View Boats Page

At last the fish have returned to the estuary now all the years of disturbance have stopped.
The main reason is the shrimps have returned and the fish are having a great time feeding up.
The good news is there are good catches of codling along with lots of thornbacks big whiting dabs and the return of the pouting.
I had a trip today on a very small tide of 4.7m usually not a good omen but i managed to find a good bag of fish for my customers.
We had 15 thornies 12 nice codling 1 massive tub gurnard loads whiting up to 2lb plus and some nice dabs and the welcome return of the humble pouting which tells me that the eco system is good.
Oh nearly forgot the usual spooy dogs .
All in all a brilliant day and a very happy bunch of lads .
And to top the day a large pod of pilot whales were in the area and a couple of the local boats escorted these away from the shipping lanes and the coastguard issued a radio warning to shipping.
All in all it seems that everything is getting in on the abundance of food in the estuary and it can only be good.
What a welcome releif us skippers have struggled for long enough. View Boats Page

November so far has given us some nice cod with the biggest topping the scales at 22lbs, caught by Tim Burrell of Warsash.
I have never seen so many conger eels inshore, we have had them up to 60lbs.
We have also had many rays and channel whiting.
Winter has now arrived with strong winds and rain, hopefully the jet stream will move soon and we can continue with our winter fishing. View Boats Page

Well the break in the weather gave us the chance to get out and chase some Cod.
There are a lot of them out there at the moment, although they are mainly just sizeable.
The odd better cod is being caught if you can get through the hoppers.
The Roker are also still being caught, along plenty of good sized Whiting, but we wont mention the millions of Leopard sharks.All in all there is some very good sport to be had at the moment so get out there and make the most of it. View Boats Page

Report on-board Duke IV
Bring plenty of bait as the sea off Ramsgate is brim full of fish, with as usual lots of Doggies along with Whiting, many being classed as Channel Whiting so up to 2lb in weight.
Codling have arrived with fish in the 1-3lb range along with a few better size fish.
The Skate that have been around all summer are still here with fish up to l0lb fairly common. Last Saturdays group of individuals had a good day with all species with Kym an accomplished Carp angler leading the way with 3 Skate up to 9lb l2oz, a female Skate that Kym chose to release.
Bass and Smoothounds are passing through our area on their way South, always a welcome catch although we are concentrating more on the Cod that are the target species on most anglers wish list.
Bait, squid and lugworm for Cod with herring chunks for Skate and Whiting.

Report on-board Emma Jayne
The weather was slightly drizzly as we left our winter mooring in Chichester Marina but it definitely didn't dampen the spirit to get out and catch some decent fish.
The whiting are in and was a great start to the day getting a few of them in for the lads dinners. The whiting were also accompanied by a couple of nice rays, one small-eyed and one thornback.
On the change of the tide we went out by the Nab Tower off the Isle of Wight to see if we could catch the real target species of the day. Sure enough the best catch of the day was reeled in by Steve Harber who got his prize of a 10lb 5oz cod; he was cuffed and the envy of the boat! All went home smiling as no one was left empty handed.
The cod have arrived so come on lads, lets see if we can beat Steve's catch! View Boats Page
