Report on-board White Maiden II
If you like a lot of weight on your rod then this was the trip to be on. On Thursday I rounded a crew of hopefuls that were on standby. We were fishing in a small tide which meant the lead weights never went over a pound but the fish were feeding extremely well. And they were all big and weighty. Nearly all of them went back to do their spring thing. Peter Hellyar caught a superb 29lb specimen Blonde Ray, a feisty 38lb Conger, a specimen 10lb 2oz Bass and a 10lb Thornback plus Whiting and more Congers. All these fish were returned except for the small Whiting which made very good live baits. Ian Hewett caught this lovely 17lb Undulate Ray plus a 12lb Blonde Ray and Congers. Mike Callus caught the cracking 23lb Blonde Ray and a 30lb Conger plus another Blonde Ray and smaller Congers. Devon caught the first and best Small Eyed Ray at around 7lb. There were also more Whiting, Eels and Rays caught by the rest of the crew. I was pretty knackered at the end of it because of all the weight lifting plus the sea state continued to build gradually throughout the day, before we made a run for the Solent to finish off in comfort.

Report on-board Sea-Juicer
A wet & Windy Few Months so many trips cancelled
Cod fishing the poorest for many years but the ones we managed to land were nice size fish along with good double figure Pollack & lots of congers to 30lb . The whiting didnt let the fishing Down with plenty of fish up to the 3lb Mark so it wasn't all bad
The boat Cod Pool only reached £440 this year but a fine 16lb -8oz Fish For Garry Rickards took 1st place .
Hopefully will get out on a few more dates in January but this will focus mainly on whiting inshore & Spurs & bull Huss off Shore
I have spaces for Individuals on dates this month ( See Calendar )
If you're interested please give me a call or text on 07919 102069
Happy New Year

Report on-board Sea-Juicer
Went out on Sunday on Rob Hickin's Sea Juice. The plan was to do a days basing so on the way out we stopped to pick up some mackerel for live bait. Rob suggested that we put the anchor in until the tide was running well enough to drift for the bass. The 9 of us enjoyed a couple of hrs of general fishing and continuing to pick up live bai. Then it was time to go after what we were all after so up anchor and travel a further 4 miles out until we reached Robs selected spot. Over the next couple of hours we all caught our single bass to keep and returning a number of smaller hungry bass to fight on a different day. The bass were averaging around 4 to 5 lbs with the biggest weighing in at 8lb. We finished off we an hour of general ground fishing then set off for home all very satisfied with our days fishing. I can certainly highly recommend Rob he is a great skipper with a great sense of humour. Try his site for individual days or to hire his boat.

Hi Rob,
Heart felt thanks for an amazing day.
Your relaxed style helped set the mood for an unforgetable day.
Excellent tackle, bait and regular cups of tea helped us all catch PB's. We have all learnt new skills.
We saw 9 species landed (including a 14lb Smothhound and doule figure rays). You constantly predicted what we could catch next.
We look forward to our next trip with you soon. Kevin (Ken). View Boats Page

Report on-board White Maiden II
Three days of wind, rain and sunshine. It's still spring and the inshore fishing is waking up slowly as our sea temperatures begin to rise. Below is Paul from yesterdays trip with a cracking Black Bream of 4lb 4ozs that came along very early in the tide. The big Bream was spent and completely empty. The day was breezy and a bit lumpy with very few other boats deciding to go but the experienced Hopp Inn lads fished well for the best Black Bream of the season so far. Other catches were more Black Bream, a 4lb Bull Huss, Wrasse, Dogs and Pout.
On Saturday a crew of marine biologists really enjoyed their day despite the wet start and then breezy conditions, all fished in comfortable inshore waters to catch some good fish. Nick started with a well marked Undulate Ray at 9lb 8oz. We tested for mackerel and caught Garfish. In the afternoon we found Smoothounds feeding well in the ebb. Nick below caught a nice double before being upstaged by Matt with his cracking 14lb'er. All fish were returned to fight again View Boats Page

Report on-board White Maiden II
Sorry for the late report on my website. One just can't get enough PR staff on the pay role.... I wish!
Due to some time tiday I have also copied the report with some recent catch photos to CBUK.
This weeks report from 'sea-fishing.net';The weather, crews and fishing have been really good over the last week with five trips, starting with an Individuals trip, last Wednesday. The lads found some nice Black Bream to 3lb 5oz, before a drift for Turbot where Pete tricked our target fish. We then had a go for a Plaice but lost the tide. On Friday the lads found a few Plaice on the drift (needs clear water, which we had) plus a bonus 13lb Undulate Ray on Plaice gear, at anchor, for Guy. In the second Friday short session trip, the crew from Devizes caught our first Mackerel of the year and some useful inshore Pollock. On Saturday the Sebastien and Simon crew patiently fished very well for Mackerel and Herrings on a stunning day at the Needles before attempting to clear a big wreck of large Pout. They had no chance of doing that. On Sunday we found a few more Mackerel and Herring plus some nice Bream. Here's some pictures of our excursions: View Boats Page

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

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

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
