Report on-board White Maiden II
Lymington SAC sponsored by Lonis Angling Center on Sunday was fished by 66 entrants all hoping to get their hands on the £400 first prize for the single biggest Cod. We were restricted to the Solent due to Strong Winds from the South South West. The sea was comfortable throughout. Some boats found up to nine Cod. The England Boat team members fishing with me on White Maiden included Ray Baron, Matt Osborne, Martin Ash Currier and Current World Boat Champion Gary Galbraith. Note his world champ story can be found at http://www.anglingtrust.net/news.asp?section=926&itemid=2747. Gary was up-tiding and kicked off in form latching into a near double figure Cod early on. I thought we were in for a lot of fish. How wrong was I.... as the Cod stopped there for us. Gary weighed in third biggest for third place. Meanwhile Skipper Jeff Semple on 'Lazy Daze', fishing just to the East of us, cleaned up with a last minute 12lb Cod, added to one of Tim's Cod for a 19.5lb combined weight to take the pairs. Also Whacjker had 4th and Tim 5th biggest Cod. So between the two charter boats we had 1st, 3rd, 4th and 5th biggest Cod caught on the day! Skipper John Skeggs on 'Last Laugh', just to the South of us, also did fantastically well again, for the best total boat weight of Cod caught on the day. Not sure that will happen again, as the dinghy boys will get their own back next year. Lee Price on his part share 20' boat/dinghy did very well and secured second place with his best Cod of a nine Cod and four Bass haul. Great competition again Lymington SAC with some good prizes put up by main Sponsor Lonis Angling Center's Garry Mann.

Report on-board Sea-Juicer
View Boats Page
The winter cod fishing has kicked into gear really early with some good catches of cod coming aboard from marks in the Solent on the smaller tides most fish are around the 4-7lb mark. & taking the usual squid /lug cocktail. but the odd nice Cod of up to 16lb turning up so very steady fishing Also nice to see a few reasonable whiting over the slack water period on baited feathers.
On bigger tides the new grounds are again the favorite for general fishing area with some good size bass up 10lb coming up along with a good selection of rays. But a few less cod but that should improve over the next few months .
Best day so far 17 cod for micks pub group with the biggest one 10lbUPCOMING INDIVIDUAL SPACES ONBOARD Sea-Juicer

Last Laugh is aptly names as it is a great fishing boat with an outstanding Skipper in John. The best Bass and Wrecking experience I have had. John is a capable and commanding skipper who is devilishly good at finding the fish, and if you don't already know, he will coach you to better catches.

Report on-board Phosphorescent 'WH1'
It's been a busy couple of weeks since my last report aboard Phosphorescent a mixture of commercial work and 'Lure Only' charters have seen some great fish come aboard. Lots of fat Bass and colourful Wrasse have been smashing the Black Minnows, Crazy Eels and Nitro Shads. Highlight for me thus far has been fishing with Stephen Lamont on Sunday and unlocking a few more secrets between us in my quest to match lures against live bait. Top Angler on Friday was Andy Scott who showed other aboard that Bass Lures catch Bass and Pike lures do not! Finally big congrats to Jon; new to the lure thing he proved on Sunday that it's what's on the end of the line not whats in your hand (I shan't mention the conger / shark rod) by smashing the 4 biggest fish of the day all on Fiiish Blue / White Minnow and when in the deep water his Giant Sayori matched to a 100g Sakura Head. We'll be fishing for Bass right into the Winter in 2015 so keep an eye on the calender and get ready to grab your day to try your hand at this exciting method of fishing. All Best, Rob.

Report on-board Phosphorescent 'WH1'
I arrived back from a month at sea doing the day job on Wednesday 13th May and headed straight to Phosphorescent to get her sorted for a weekend on the water. Although we have done some great trips between Xmas and now it is this month that I class as the start of our season. Bream and Bass are the main targets this month with Bass taking precedence over the coming weeks and a lot of lure fishing going on too. My Sandeel tank is almost set up and will be getting it's first residents shortly....off up there today to finish putting it together and then it's the struggle with 500 litres of fresh sea water to fill it up!!!

Anyway on to the fishing. As I said in my last report the Bream are now showing in good numbers along the coast and X'church Ledge produced some cracking fish at the weekend. Lots of fish over 2lb with some beasts in the 4-5lb Bracket too. Sunday saw us catch 45 fish in a mad hour and half when after a slow start the fish came on with gusto. The lads had enough fish for the freezer and were keen to have a go for a bass too. We tried unsuccessfully for mackerel but had our trusty FIIISH Black Minnows and a couple of live pout in a bucket from the mornings breaming. Conditions on the Bridge were far from ideal with a big sea due to the full ebbing tide and about 20kts of SW wind over the top if it. A variety of methods were deployed and it was Rod who came up trumps landing a couple of lovely fish...one on a Pouting the other and largest on the Black Minnow. Can't wait to get back out there this week after the weather settles a bit. There are plenty of Stingray, Smoothound, Bass and Bream along the Solent foreshore right now so if you are interested in an evenings super light tackle madness catching these species - Feel free to give me a call. All best, Rob - 07725 563562.
