    Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3

    The plaice fishing last week was absolutely brilliant with over 200 caught in 3 sessions, although mainly on the small to medium size they give a good sport on the right gear add in Dabs, Gurnards, Red Mullet, Garfish, Smoothhounds it all adds up to great days fishing. Whiting are starting to appear in numbers and after the run of Codling we have had the bigger fish will soon be here. Some good size Bass have been landed. Most of our fishing once November starts will be concentrated on Cod and Whiting so if you fancy a day afloat call to reserve a space.
    All the best

    Report on-board Silver Spray II

    Standard kind of Autumn weather at the moment, some wind if not too much wind most days and now that it is in the north we are seeing the temperature start to drop. Maybe it is this shift in conditions that has kick started the winter fishing early, we had our first winter cod of the season in fresh water bay on 13th October, the earliest we have ever seen one up there. Along with the 4 cod we had spurdog, undulate rays and congers so the only thing missing so far is the whiting which will make an appearance when the temperature drops again into the single digits. Elsewhere, as far as the fishing goes, you would be forgiven for thinking it is still summer. On a wreck trip at the start of October to mainly target black bream at anchor we stumbled across a hit of late cod, averaging at about 8lb they were slightly bigger than what we have been getting throughout the year. The bream certainly didn't disappoint either with over a dozen fish coming to the boat at slack water, the biggest of which weighed in at 5lb 12oz for Scott Gooch just a few ounces short of our boat record. Inshore the fishing has been nonstop with plaice, brill and gurnards all in abundance on the sand which makes for great fun on the light gear. We have started doing a few trips in the evenings to target dover sole which have been a success, the elusive flatfish coming on the feed for just a couple of hours as the day slips into darkness. Looking forward to more of all of this over the next couple of weeks before we turn our attentions to the winter cod fishing.

    OCTOBER 2015
    The latest match in the Flamer IV Flatty League produced some excellent flatty fishing. Andy Collings and David Gibson are now tied up with equal points at the top of the league and Jim Stone is still in the running, the final match on October 20th should be interesting to see who is crowned Champion.The Dates for the Flatty league in 2016 will be out soon,so if you are interested in fishing in the flatty league then contact me a.s.a.p.
    The signs are good for next year with the mussels now growing back which will surely attract back the Big Plaice. Andy Collings is pictured with a 3Ib 5oz Plaice.

    The fishing on the banks and wrecks is really good with plenty of good size Ray's and Congers being landed along with some stonking 5lb + bream. Big Bass have featured in catches with some trips landing several doubles which to the credit of anglers have been returned alive.
    Have spaces for midweek trips, call for further info

    Weymouth's Rob Burgin age 60 was in the right plaice to have a brill day and he is certainly a dab hand at catching flatties as he had several Plaice,Brill and Turbot ,he also caught his personal best Undulate Ray weighing 15Ib 8oz during the same trip. Rob is pictured with his PB Undulate Ray.
    The signs are also good for next year with the mussels now growing back which will surely attract back the Big Plaice.
