1st on the day was Ray Barron with 326 points
2nd Steve Harder 263

2nd Darren Phillips 178
3rd Shaun Collins Lyndsey 146
Next it was the evening league & as the fishing was so difficult during the day I decided to stay in the harbour which seemed to pay off.With 11 species including Silver Eel, plenty of Wrasse, Plaice, Gurnard, Bream and Gilthead Bream. 1st was Martin Bobbet with 142 points
2nd Gary Rook 135

Report on-board Silver Halo
Fishing has been really good the last couple of months and I've found a good run of pollock to keep my clients busy while the bass slowly arrive.
Lures and jigs have been used to great effect and I've just too many pics to upload so I've just done a select few! Please see my facebook page and group for more regular updates and reports.
So I hope the pollock fishing remains a good option, but I'm also expecting larger numbers of bass to start holding on our inshore wrecks, allowing us to fish with lures, jigs and occasionally live baits a bit closer to home.
I've been using some new jigs and lures that have done really well and these are currently available onboard for my clients to purchase.
I also have good lure and SPJ rods and reels for clients to use, these are included in the charter price.
Silver Halo is affordable as a private charter so its worth considering that as an option.
Please see my availablity calander, the unspecified days are usually available for either individuals or complete boat charters.
Many thanks Matt View Boats Page

Report on-board Silver Halo
So despite some pretty challenging conditions April was a good month onboard Silver Halo.
I managed 11 wrecking trips and with only small groups of between 2 and 4 anglers per trip, catches were reliable and numbers good. Best pollock went just over 16lb and most anglers had 15 to 20 fish a piece come the end of the day. A few cod were also caught but I'm expecting better numbers for May and also the bass will soon make apperance on wrecks in our area.
Most anglers have used lures (greens and whites being best) but there have been occasions where jigs have been used. The lighter winds and more settled months to come will see an increase in the use of jigs. Please get intouch if your interested in my charters, also please check my main website for heaps of info and some SPJ tips and tactics!!
