on Spot On! (Brixham, Devon)

Report on-board Spot On!
Torbay Festival was hampered again this year with some easterly winds meaning Spot On couldn't fish some days, however I am pleased to announce once again this year Spot On was again top boat from Brixham.
Some great fish and some great trophies and prizes won for my anglers, so well done guys.
Spot On is Brixhams only Catamaran offering speed, stability, comfort and plenty of room
It has come to light that some local skippers seem to have become a bit green eyed with jealousy and have tried to hamper my reports which I feel is a real shame as they are trying to stop 'you' the anglers and readers seeing my reports and catches.
All I can say is the competition results speak for themselves.
The catch gallery speaks for itself and still the only charter boat in Brixham to catch Blue and Porbeagle sharks.
Oh I almost forgot, not to mention winning CBUK catch of the month 8 times along with holding 3 CBUK record catches, feel free to check out the other local boats and make up your own mind.
Rant over so thank you to my anglers old and new who have come to me from other charter boats and who have been with me from the beginning, I welcome your custom and support of Spot On and Brixham and I will do my best to get you the fish you dream of.
Thank you to my SPONSORS: SIDEWINDER lures and TOP RIGS for there continued support and great products they offer. (order these direct and collect on board or have them sent to you) (Please pre order)
2016 Diary is filling very fast with the Torbay festival for 2016 now fully booked and all weekend's full until November 2016 but please do get in contact and I will see what I can offer.
Pictured is a surprise catch of a Porbeagle Shark for Jim while he was Ling fishing

Report on-board Spot On!
The big tides at the beginning of September saw Spot On heading out on a couple days of Bassing.
When we arrived at our first wreck of the day we were not disappointed as from the off the bass were hitting the net, we could have stayed all day catching these fun little silver beauties but we decided to try a few more wrecks throughout the day and again Spot On was on the mark again bringing 2 double figure bass on one drift and accompanied by a few more averaging 5-8lb region.
Day 2 saw much of the same but 8lb was the biggest we could manage on this day but still loads of fun and lots of fish, the lads all filled there quota of 3 fish each and we then enjoyed the sport on light tackle.
Thanks goes to SIDEWINDER lures for there sponsorship and giving my anglers some great lures that are simply awesome and caught some great Bass.
2016 Diary filling fast so if you want to have a trip on board Brixham's only catamaran offering you Speed, Stability, Comfort and space and the chance to catch fish that you will find only in my gallery then get in touch.
Pictured is the double shot of double figured bass caught on one drift.

Report on-board Spot On!
Shark fishing has been very good this year on board Spot On from Brixham with just 3 trips completed we have had over 30 sharks boated, the best day was manic with 5 sharks all being hooked and played at the same time and with 2 lost in the battle of lines going all ways we did manage to keep 2 beauties both being measured for length and girth in turn making them 125lb and 132lb.
This was a truly remarkable trip as it was busy all day with many sharks in the area.
The next best sharking day saw 12 blues landed.
Spot On has one more shark trip planned for this year as I only do a few trips a year sharking and this is on the 28th September 2015 with 1space remaining. (max 6 anglers on the boat).
Spot On is still the only boat to catch Blue sharks and Porbeagle sharks from Brixham.
Diary for 2016 is looking very busy so get in quick to have a trip on board Brixham's only catamaran offering you speed, stability, comfort and plenty of room.
Spot On is sponsored by lure giant SIDEWINDER and TOP RIGS meaning you can fish with the best end tackle available on the market today. (Please contact me to pre order and collect on board).
Pictured is the best Blue shark to date on board Spot On 132lb!

Fishing Report by Sam Cumming
on Silver Spray II (Poole, Dorset)
16 Sep 2015 by Sam Cumming
Report on-board Silver Spray II
It's been a fairly quiet month for us down in Poole with a whole week of hard easterly winds followed by the same again of south westerly. Some of the most enjoyable fishing lately has been along the sea front from Poole to Hengistbury head using the light tackle. We have had a few days turn up over 20 different species. Something I haven't seen much of as a skipper is trigger fish and they been making an appearance taking the plaice baits on the sand. Almost tropical to look at they also fight like a bream on steroids. Out further off there is still plenty of tope and rays at anchor with all 5 species of rays making regular appearances. We are still picking off the bass with live baits such as scad and mackerel although I think they will start to thin out soon and we shall have to move onto pout. Only two more trips over to Alderney to go and it will be the winter season, although if you look outside today you would think it had arrived already.

On the outer marks during the weaker tides there has been plenty of action with Rays, Congers, Tope and Bull Huss all fighting to grab the bait whilst off to sea on the wrecks and banks big Black and Red Bream are being landed with fish in the region of 5lb + showing. Grab your chance before the season finishes and come out fishing with us. View Boats Page

on Just Fishing (Brixham, Devon)
Sep 2015 by Simon Fisher
Report on-board Just Fishing
A Great start to September onboard Brixham based " Just Fishing"
At the beginning of the month we fished the Skerries Banks and at last are starting to catch plump Plaice, along with a few Small Eyed Ray on the drift, best of which was just shy if 9lb.
Out on the wrecks the fishing continues to be steady. Typical sized Pollock for this time of year up to 10lb with a few Bass on the bigger tides. We're still catching Cod and Ling on Lures and drifting with Mackerel Flappers, best Ling so far this month was caught by Mike Smith weighing 16lb, although we have lost a number of better fish. At Anchor we have had a nice run of Black Bream making some good sport on lighter gear, best so far was taken by Skipper Simon Fisher at 3lb 15oz. Along with the Bream we've also had loads of Conger Eel around 25-30lb mark with a few larger ones being boated, biggest so far this month was 65lb 5oz caught by Jason Hemmings.
With " Just Fishing " running for just over six weeks now we've had some great fish onboard already, along with some great anglers too.
We will remain available and ready during the winter months to target the large Pollock and Cod.
