Fishing Report by Ross Parham
on Spot On! (Brixham, Devon)
Nov 2015 by Ross Parham
Report on-board Spot On!
October has been a varied month with warm weather and sometimes feeling more like summer, especially when the Cod have been playing ball like they have been all year this year.
Wrecking has been simply fantastic with great numbers of cod, Pollock, ling and bass making up the main sport, although some nice size tub and red gurnards have been taking the sidewinder also which makes for a nice surprise.
Bassing has also been strong with some trips landing lots up to the 5-6lb mark also on sidewinders and wedges.
The skerries continued to fish strong for plaice and rays with only one trip there in October the plaice not being quite as abundant as summer months but with plumper specimen's landed instead.
Spot On managed one last trip to Guernsey in October and what away to finish for this year, lots of prime Black Bream in the region of 2-3lb size around the islands, along with turbot and brill although only small with a handful of keepers.
The wrecking on the way hoe proved again the highlight with large Pollock on the first wreck but it was cod the lads wanted so off I went again and bingo, on the money again with another wreck producing a fish for every angler every drift, a nice end to 2015 Guernsey trips and I look forward to next years trips already.
Spot on has managed one wrecking trip in November so far due to the strong winds we have been having and it seems the Pollock have moved in as they were first on the lures and for the first time in many months just a hand full of cod and lots of Pollock made up the numbers, bait over slack produced some excellent ling fishing with the biggest going 31lb 5oz for Len from Liverpool.
November sees the season winding down for Spot On with Pollock being the target species before the boat comes out early December for a clean, scrub and tidy up ready for the winter Pollock in January 2016.
Bookings for next year have gone crazy and I would like to thank all my anglers for supporting myself and Spot On and enjoying the great Devon fishing town of Brixham, your support is appreciated and I enjoy fishing with you.
A big Thanks again for my sponsor's SIDEWINDER LURE'S and TOP RIG'S as without your great products these fish would simply not be possible.
This Saturday 7th November see's myself attend the Torbay festival presentation for myself to pick up the top skipper award.
(Making statement that Spot On is once again BRIXHAM's top charter boat for the second year running in this event.)

John Collings age 30 from Milton Keynes got a bigger fish than he bargained for while drifting for Plaice aboard Flamer IV when an Undulate Ray weighing 19Ib grabbed his ragworm and squid strip bait.The size 1/0 Sakuma Stinger hook stood up to the task and after a 10 minute struggle the big Undulate was brought to the boat. The ray was weighed,photographed and returned alive. John is pictured with his Superb 19Ib Undulate.

Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3
The drop in temperature has bought the whiting into the bay, on an Albion club match last Sunday they landed over 100 whiting to reasonable size plenty of dogfish in all 12 species were recorded. Ian Hansford caught the best fish of the weekend landing another fine Turbot of 8lb. The cod fishing is good with the larger fish now appearing, our best this season is only 15lb but reports of fish to 27lb have been caught.
All the best

Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3
After a spell of unsettled weather a window of opportunity arose on Sunday 25th saw bright sunshine and calm seas along with the 1st frost of this winter, the idea was to head of to sea after the last of the big bream on the wrecks but for some reason we choose to head east and enjoy a day fishing of the Needles, as we approached I counted 35 boats already at anchor and my chosen mark already taken so as we headed towards another bank we marked some fish and anchored into these, almost immediately we had bites and Mark Turner produced a 6lb Cod on his 1st drop bites continued and fish came aboard regularly all day, Conn Bratcher changed his tactics to catch whiting and within minutes hooked into something a bit more challenging after a few minutes a superb Turbot of 17lb 12ozs was safely netted, the tackle used was not traditional Turbot gear but a size 4 Aberdeen wire hook and a small slither of mackeral. As the tide eased Gary Taylor landed another 10lb Cod along with a few nice whiting.
Cod and whiting are now the main targets for the next 2 months with numbers and size set to improve, if you fancy a trip as an individual or as part of a group please give me a call.
All the best
