    Report on-board White Maiden II

    The Bank Holiday weekends settled weather was fantastic for us all.

    Saturday's crew were after the bigger fish with Rays our first target species. We had one decent 7lb Small Eyed Ray caught on a bank and lots of Dogs. We moved off to a wreck for Congers to 20lb before Billy nailed a cracking 10lb 3oz Bass on squid, at the end of the trip and the start of the ebb.

    On Sunday the Dyer family had another great forecast which enabled us to head for the Bream grounds. It was all very competitive as Ballan Wrasse, Bream, Bull Huss, Whiting and Dogfish took the various small baits offered. The snaggy ground caused a few problems at the end of the flood so after a short move we avoided the snags and found more Bream. Left is Becka and Bee all very happy on LSD. That's Lesser Spotted Dogfish! It was a sociable but busy day for me but the lovely weather sealed it for all.

    My original Monday crew of two were cancelled due to low individuals numbers. I then contacted Tuesdays 'windy forecast' half day crew to cancel when they asked to be moved forward to the Bank Holiday Monday and an early 0630 start. This time was fine by me so we snuck out in the morning for more Bream and Dogfish. Most Hen Bream are in spawn and are dropping eggs so they went back. Young Eddy on the right is holding a nice hen Bream.

    Interestingly an Oceanography expert advised that it takes 3 to 4 male Bream to fertilise one female Breams eggs successfully. We release the females and some males too, if the crew agree. It would be good if some guidance could be introduced for all of us to follow! Come on Anglers Trust, what are you going to do?

    Another conservation argument this week in the news was the release of 10,000 helium balloons to celebrate a special occasion. The argument against was the littering effect and although latex does bio-degrade, if a fish, bird or animal swallows them before they bio-degrade they will die a slow death. So there's another moral option for us.

    With plenty of fish starting to show and lots of dates available give me a call if you fancy a full or half day or evening trip. Tightlines, Les.

  • 12/04/2014 Fishing Report by Les Jones on White Maiden II (Lymington, Hampshire)

    12 Apr 2014 by Les Jones

    Report on-board White Maiden II

    The Bream are in! All be it in low numbers at the moment. This is the time when 'pb' potential is at its highest so it's definitely worth a gamble for that 4lb'er! The first inshore Black Bream aboard this season was caught by Bryn Dye on Saturday. That beautifully marked Bream was caught along with the first inshore Pollock by Ian, along with a Bull Huss by Chris, all TOFFS members. There were a couple more Bream and Pollock plus other bits and pieces caught. While on Sunday we had a better day weather wise but we caught about the same with the best Bream so far just under 3lb falling to Alan. A sortie out deep found mainly dogs but also a nice fat female specimen 14lb 8oz Thornback Ray for Steve. Obviously she was released as this is the spawning time for them. Note all Rays and Congers have been released this week again, well done lads!

    Thursdays individuals trip was a cracking day weather wise that allowed us to explore. We found Rays and Congers on deep banks but nothing on the wrecks. Wee Man Billy caught and released the best Blonde at 22lb; Roy a nice Blonde of 16lb and the biggest Conger at 36lb; Scott with another nice 16lb Blonde.

    5 Apr 2014 by Les Jones

    Report on-board White Maiden II

    A lovely week (includin four Calshot Lifeboat Launches) was followed by a miserable weekend which looked OK for the Saturday Trident SAC crew. In reality the mist, drizzle and a building sea followed by proper rain and a lot of voracious dogfish made for a hard day for the keen regulars. It wasn't cold though and we were in the right places and you certainly can't catch anything sat at home! Bob managed to break through the dogfish for a decent Spotted Ray but there were far too many dogfish on the Ray marks.

    A possible excuse for not catching, I believe, is that in a sloppy sea and shallow water (less than 45') the waves that bang the hulls increases the scare zone around the boat. Up-tiding is easy with long rods and fixed spool reels and is the best way to get out the scare zone. Otherwise working a very light lead well down tide is good. Or you could add a balloon to float your bait down tide, then jerk it free but in my opinion that can't be good for the environment and is basically littering the sea. Maybe a bit of wood will be more environmentally friendly (I'm serious about that).

    Yesterday John Skeggs was on an early start and went 9 miles but as the tide and sea built they came back inside too. Out deep were Spurrs, Blondes and Congers! I'm looking forward to testing these banks on Thursday as we have a small tide and the promise of some decent weather. I still have 4 spaces at £50pp

  • 03/04/2014 Fishing Report by Les Jones on White Maiden II (Lymington, Hampshire)

    3 Apr 2014 by Les Jones

    Report on-board White Maiden II

    Last Monday we had a reasonable enough morning forecast to venture out for a decent fish on a small tide before the wind picked up as promised. The total catch ended with Congers of 40lb, 35lb, 23lb, 21lb 12lb, 7lb, 6lb and nothing else. So just Congers and some good fun was had by most. Pictured left is Simon with his 40lb'er expertly controlled to take a fiver from the other five anglers for the biggest fish.

    Point of interest I have just completed my Professional Practices and Responsibilities course and passed the assessment. Actually it was very good and really worthwhile getting to grips again with the legislation around our boat work. The outcome for me is a more detailed safety brief and a request for signatures from the anglers to accept the risk before we cast off.

    The PBA AGM last Wednesday was interesting too; another directive is in the pipeline for all newly built vessels to have accommodation quarters for crews if they intend to go over to France and the Channel Islands! Be warned, be aware and be a PBA member, their fighting fund is to support us in our professional roles.

    This week Rays are showing well inshore. I have been busy with RNLI duties this week but if anyone wants a trip midweek I have dates and spaces, weekends are busy now with fishing charters.

  • 08/03/2014 Fishing Report by Les Jones on White Maiden II (Lymington, Hampshire)

    8 Mar 2014 by Les Jones

    Report on-board White Maiden II

    At last on Friday we had a decent forecast and a crew to go with it. The F6 SW was a bit too much in the morning so we fished comfortably in the Solent. See pictures referenced in Your Catches page.

    Roy caught his first ever Ray, a cracking very well marked specimen 14lb Undulate Ray. The very nicely marked and protected Undulate Ray came at the end of the flood tide and was soon followed by Gavin's specimen 4lb 8oz Spotted Ray. Both Rays were released.

    The lads also caught six dogfish and two Pout which was not too bad in an early March short session just down the Solent.

    A point of interest was a huge container that was floating end up off Newtown. It was reported by another Charter Boat to the Coast Guard but they didn't seem too excited about it. Packs of Cigarettes were in the tide too.

    Saturday was a better forecast again, so regular crew Trident SAC boarded White Maiden and we headed for the Needles Lighthouse only to carry on and duck behind the Shingles for the first couple of hours. It was a bit too bouncy 'outside' at the start of the day. This first mark was far too quiet so as the wind eased off we headed South and found two cracking fish with another nice Undulate Ray this time at 15lb 4oz for Steve and a big male 20lb Blonde Ray for Chris, both were released unharmed. Steve then caught a nice 6lb Small Eyed Ray and Chris a 5lb Thornback Ray which both were quickly dispatched and went home for dinner! Other species caught were a small Hound and a Conger and lots of Dogfish. It was good to see more nice Rays.

    Sunday today, was a better forecast again so we pushed out about ten miles South of the Needles, a big ask for the beginner anglers but we went as a buddy boat to another Charter. The fishing was good but hard work pulling in some big fish up from 130'. David caught the Bull Huss, while the other pictures are of Tom who did very well with the best Undulate Ray at 17lb, plus a Blonde of 11lb and a few Congers the best weighed at 26lb but another lost, after tangling its hooks at the net which was easily 35lb. Steve had the biggest Conger weighed on the boat at 27lb. Steve and David are pictured below.

    It was nice to get out and have a proper fish for three days in a row and the fishing was actually a bit better than expected.

    Note that I also saw the first Mullet on Friday and a shoal of them on Saturday, that is early! Tightlines, Les

    Report on-board White Maiden II

    Brief report to say just how great this CBUK website is after rejoining again after a long period of 4 years or so, avoiding too many bookings. Recently, however I have gone full time,so have made the boat and myself available for mid-week trips and Sundays! Previously I looked after crews on Saturdays and Evenings only. Obviously I am looking for more business. I run my own website but this website is great to edit, use and update. I am well impressed.

    I'm just adding a recent picture of last Saturday 8th February where I was involved in the Solent RNLI Flank Station Lifeboats get together in Cowes to exchange stories over lunch and a pint.

    We had 35 - 45 knt SW gales on our return trip but as we were aboard the Bembridge Tamar All Weather Lifeboat we were very safe! I took this pictures as we entered the river Medina at Cowes. This is where we met up with our own Calshot Atlantic Lifeboat and the Yarmouth, Lymington and Cowes crews too. It was a great day and a very good opportunity for some social and serious chat about the winter.
