Report on-board Osprey
Well was a interesting day with steve yesterday as the happy dangler's went out on their first codquest of the winter, for some of us it was hard work, but over all was a good day as always.
Mike got the ball rolling with the first fish of the day, a little doggie that he reeled in super fast to beat me to the boat to get the bonus points.....it then went quiet for abit, Dan's rod bent over and we all hoped he was into the target fish, but when it came to the surface our hopes were dashed by a strap conger. As the day went on the eels just wouldn't leave dan's bait alone.....
Wayne managed the first cod of the day, of about 10 inches, gary then had a cod of 11lb 6oz, which came off the hook at the side of the boat and swam into the waiting net..... and was probably kicking himself as he didnt enter the £5 wager.....especially as the day moved on without any more cod showing.....
We moved into deeper water where dan continued to catch conger, my rod bent over and i was into a decent fish, but after a short fight all went light as whatever i had bit through my 60lb hook length.
Finally mike's rod went over (luckily spotted by steve) and his fight started.....was it the bottom as he didnt seem to be moving it.....but it soon became clear he had a decent fish on.....20minutes later with sweat on his brow we finally saw the leader....everyone was holding their breath in anticipation...what was it? A few thought it was an arse ended ray as there were no knocks to mikes rod, finally with some leader on his reel mike started to walk back up the boat with steve shouting instructions.....mikey quickly grabbing the bigger net as we finally got a glimpse of this huge cod.....now it was just a case of getting it into the net, which steve managed with perfection and with a heave lifted the cod over the gunnels to whoops and cheers.....after quickly weighing in steves bag and some photo's mike put her back, we were all abit worried as the cod bobbed back to the surface as it drifted back with the tide, but then with a flick of the tail she went back to the murky bottom......
For the last couple of hours we moved back inshore where a few more cod were landed by gary, john and wayne.
In total we had over 50 fish with 7 species made up of cod, whiting, conger, poor cod, pout, thornback ray and that rarest of bristol channel fish the doggie.....
All the cod came to either black lug tipped with squid and mike's lump (28lb 12oz) came in on a whole lundy squid....
Looking forward to getting back out with steve next sunday... View Boats Page

DECEMBER 2015
The Winter gales have been making there presence felt but it has to stop blowing sometime and give us a chance of some fishing for Whiting Cod,Rays,Congers,Bull Huss etc on the Reefs and Banks.There are places available through December and including during the Christmas/New year holiday period.
COMPETITIONS - My F.I.S.H. species competition has had to be cancelled twice due to the windy weather and is now scheduled on the weekend of December 12th and 13th - there are places available on the 12th.
Also on December 30th there is a Winter Species Competition - " Win a prize or get stuffed" seems quite apt for that time of year. Don't Miss Out.

NOVEMBER 2015
At last a break in the weather ( nice and Calm for a change )and managed to get out on a offshore wrecking trip which produced some good size Pollack and Ling Fishing. The Ling were taking lures and on the slack tide squid and mackerel baits. I was surprised how good the Ling fishing was with it being November.A steady stream of double figure Ling came to the boat with Bryan Osbourne claiming the biggest Ling weighing in at 24Ib 11oz and a new Personal Best.Bryan is pictured with his PB Ling. The fishing with baits also produced some Congers.The Best lure for the Pollack was the Pink Red Gill.Keith Williams caught a bonus 5Ib Bass and also the two biggest Pollack on the day weighing 11Ib 10oz and 14Ib 15oz.
NEW LISTING - On offer is one more Wreck trip for this year on December 5th - some lure fishing for Pollack and some fishing with bait for Ling and Conger.
