Report on-board Kelley's Hero Charters
Since I last blogged, Kelley's Hero has done a few trips. This included 2 wrecking trips, 1 bream trip and 1 with both due to the weather.
Whilst out wrecking we have managed to find some nice fish. It is a great feeling being able to report to you that the cod are certainly in. We thought maybe it was a fluke with the last blog. The last 2 wrecking trips has thrown out some nice Cod.
The first trip the weather was perfect and calm seas blessed our day. The fishing never really slowed down all day with around about 100 cod hitting the decks, and 20ish Pollock. The anglers certainly were going to sleep well that night.
The second wrecking trip was just as good however the weather wasn't as nice. Before going to bed the night before the weather forecast was brilliant. We woke up, got the boat ready, all the guys were ready for there day afloat. Once we got the wrecks, the tide was just starting to die down, and the chop started from there. It made for some uncomfortable fishing, however we stuck it out and had very similar results to the last trip. Ending up with very similar numbers of fish.
We decided that it was time to stay inshore and head for some bream, and we did just that. The sea was flat, the wind was light, and the sun was out, what more could we want. We had plenty of grounbait, and plenty of bites. The bream that were being landed were anything between 1 and a half lb, and 2lb 6oz. The species weren't as prolific as the last inshore trips however we ended up with a couple of thornback rays, endless amount of bream, with many returned, and a couple of smoothound.
So the weather forecast for Saturday was giving light winds again, with a little bit of rain. We don't mind the rain, so we set up another wrecking trip. We turned up to the boat in the morning with our anglers all there ready to go. We checked the forecast before we left, and it had changed ever so slightly. Not enough to stop us though. We headed out to the wrecks once again. However we only had 3 Pollock and 1 cod before the tide turned it got too choppy for us and we returned inshore to go and find some bream. After finding a few fresh mackerel we headed inshore and put the anchor down. After catching a few nice bream, we decided enough was enough for one week and we headed for the pub.

The smoothounds turned up in good numbers during May for some excellent fishing for the anglers aboard some days in excess of 40 hounds being caught & released the good majority being over 10lb although smaller tides did prove harder work but the off shore banks produced some nice size rays. Smoothounds should continue during June with more Undulate rays showing on the inshore Marks .
Nice to see the youngsters getting in on the action with young kody managing 9 fish in one trip no wonder his smile is from ear to ear.
JUNE dates still with spaces on 8th. 11th. 17th. 20th. or for a group bookings give me a call View Boats Page

Booked a last minute trip on Kelleys Hero II, turned up early to a spotlessly clean boat. Set off in calm seas, cruising at 18-20 knots we were soon arriving at our target wreck. Skipper Ian gave me a good rundown on how the wreck lies in the tide, the size of the wreck, and where he thought the different species would be on the wreck.
First couple of drifts and I had two nice Pollock to sidewinder super slims, one around double figures and one about the 6 pound mark. The ebb tide slackened and the fishing went dead for half an hour until the flood started.
More advice from crew and I changed to a rubarb and custard shad. Next drift a nice 13 pound cod, followed by lots of cod being boated by all anglers while the flood was pushing hard. As the tide backed off the species turned back to Pollock and I had two more around double figures, before the cod switched back on.
Due to the BBC weather man lying again, it did get a bit rough, but Ian stuck at it and we boated some good fish. Run in to Portsmouth was smooth and fast, crew were great and helped me fillet my catch which needed a barrow to move it. I would recommend Ian Dale to anyone looking for a good days wrecking, great boat and crew. View Boats Page

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.
