    Report on-board Just Fishing

    We`ve lost a fair few days fishing since our last report thanks to the weather....... the few days we have had out have been quite heavy going, plenty of nice sized fish showing on the chosen wrecks but they are playing hard to get!
    We`ve had Ling and Cod onboard along with loads of Gurnard and Dogfish along with strap Conger up to 25lb taking flappers on the drift intended for Ling, (great sport on lighter gear!) not to mention hundreds of Pout. Also there are loads of Mackerel around at the moment with over 300 being caught in half an hour before we head out to the Wrecks.... Spaces still available for Torbay fishing festival.... plus we are available throughout the winter for the Large Pollock and Cod run.

    This week has been challenging weather wise but the Ray fishing has been very good, the Bournemouth Air Show is now well under way yesterday was a wash out but today the weather broke and the schedule was completed the displays were awesome and makes you proud to be British and watch the skill of the pilots. We all have our favourites and the Typhoon is always spectacular but hopefully the Vulcan will be there on Sunday

    Report on-board Spot On!

    Well I am back from holiday and have completed just 4 trips since my last report and some cracking fish Spot On has caught.
    A couple days wrecking few up loads of Ling up to 25lb 8oz, cod to 22lb, Pollock to 16lb, Whiting to 3lb 8oz and Black bream to 6lb 4oz.

    A session at anchor resulted in 89 conger eels hooked with 60 being boated up to 53lb, all eels were 'T' Barred off at the side of the boat so my arms are aching.
    A couple of drifts at the end of the day with lures resulted in some small Pollock and a few bass.

    2016 Diary for weekends is now full until end of October and many weekdays have also gone so if you want to fish on Brixham's number one charter boat and the only Catamaran and still the fastest, newest vessel in the port let alone the ONLY boat who will try 100% to catch you a fish of a lifetime and just look at the photos and you will see for yourself.

    Thanks to Sponsor's SIDEWINDER and TOP RIGS for giving me the end tackle that catch these awesome fish.
    I have this great tackle for Sale as mail order so drop me a call.

    Brixhams premier boat by far!!

    Pictured is Terry with his monster Black Bream of 6lb 4oz. (Well done that man)

    Report on-board Sally Ann Jo

    Wrecking trips are still producing a reasonable number of cod. Last Saturdays trip also saw a few red gurnard to lures in 60m of water and this lovely 9.5lb bass for Andy Magor. Reefs and banks are producing good numbers of bream. Bull huss, conger and undulate rays are making appearances and testing light gear when fishing for bream. For the species hunters amongst you theres always the red band fish.
    Some spaces still available for individuals in August on half day trips 26th and 27th and full day trips 28th and 30th.
