Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3
July Report
The offshore fishing certainly excelled with good catches of Cod, Pollack and Ling given the opportunity to anchor these marks big congers and some good size Bream came aboard. The banks around Poole produced a good selection of Rays, plenty of sport with Tope and general fishing. Bass still have yet to appear in numbers but now the mackeral and Scad shoals have arrived these should show up, just a reminder anglers are restricted to 3 bass per person. Locally we have had plenty of fun with small bream, plaice, gurnards and mini species these provide a good days fishing and can be a lifeline when conditions are not favourable. Poole Harbour is fishing well and acts as a safe haven for charter boats , using really light gear you will be surprised by the amount and number of different species caught each trip.
Come and enjoy the fishing

Fishing Report by Ross Parham
on Spot On! (Brixham, Devon)
Aug 2015 by Ross Parham
Report on-board Spot On!
What a month July was this year, very disappointing on the weather front with over 50% of trips having to be cancelled due to strong winds.
However when we did get out the fishing was fantastic once more from SPOT ON! of Brixham with wrecking still going strong with great numbers of Cod, Pollock, and Ling being the main target species with the odd Bass and whiting making a show.
Skerries banks have tailed off a bit in numbers but the Plaice are getting bigger with one session seeing a 4lb and 5lb fish being taken along with a fair few in the 2-3lb region. The blonde and small eyed rays are also showing well although no great monsters of these landed just yet.
Last trip before my holiday yesterday (1st August) saw us head out to the mid channel wrecks with a group of lads from Bristol all on hired rods saw them catching plenty of Cod and Pollock along with pouting.
lucky angler Matt Williams pulled a monster from the deep and a once in a lifetime fish on a 15/30lb class fladen hire rod fitted with Akios reel loaded with 30lb braid and armed with a sidewinder lure on a 30lb trace hooked an Angler fish, which is a first for me on board Spot On. The fish hit 49lb on the scales on board and after the long steam home it was kindly weighed by Steve and Liam Ford of Brixham Sea anglers on there official club scales so after losing a bit of fluids and weight it hit the scales at 47lb 4oz
2016 diary is filling faster every day so if you want to fish on the ONLY boat out of Brixham who delivers results and also the ONLY catamaran in the port and the ONLY charter boat skipper who goes over and beyond to bring you results that others simply can not match up to, then please feel free to contact myself.
(MY CATCHES AND RESULTS DO THERE OWN TALKING!!)
BRIXHAMS Premier and TOP charter boat by far. (Just look at the photos and only been going 2 years!!!)
Thanks again to my SIDEWINDER sponsor for producing simply the best lures on the market today.

Report on-board Predator
A great day afloat for the lads from Bournemouth who beat their own boat record for number of rays boated.
After a late start (weather forecast wrong again!!) we set off across Swanage bay in search of bait. After a short while we found enough mackerel for the day and dropped anchor at our chosen mark. It wasn't long before the rays moved in on our fresh bait. Actioned continued all day and a total of 30 rays were boated photographed and returned. The previous best for the lads was 27. We managed 3 different species; undulate, spotted & thornback.

on Spot On! (Brixham, Devon)

Report on-board Spot On!
Well fishing again during the end of June and into July on board Spot On, has been nothing short of cod fantastic with wrecking from Brixham still fishing at its best.
Although not as many 20lber's as previous years but number of fish wise no contest as lots of fish in the 4-7lb mark making for some great scrappy sport and clean fillets for the table.
Some nice double figure summer Pollock are also in the mix with a few ling make up the majority of catches on the wrecks.
Channel island trips have been good with again on board Spot On with plenty of fish on the wrecks on the way and the Turbot have been small but we have had some monster Brill and with the bream fishing being amazing they have made the trips worth while.
Mackerel are still very hit and miss inshore but when we can get some fresh bait the Blonde & Small eyes rays are making an appearance on the ray pitts.
Plaice on the skerries are starting to increase in size and the numbers of 100+ fish per day is common as of late, also we have had a few small turbot coming on board as well which is great to see so long may it continue.
Over 50% of trips in July so far have been cancelled due to our fine summer weather!!
Bookings for 2016 have gone crazy and the calander is filling up fast so be quick if you want a trip on board Brixham and the south wests premier charter boat who always goes the extra mile and never stops working to give you the best chances to catch fish others only dream of.
Only one catamaran in Brixham and simply only one SPOT ON!
More channel island trips coming up after my holiday so I will keep you posted and the annual Torbay festival is also looming closer along with sharking so much more to fish for this year.
A big thanks goes to SIDEWINDER LURES & TOP RIGS for there continued sponsorship and support.
Thank you for all your continued support to myself and Spot On and choosing Brixham for our fantastic angling that we have to offer you.
Pictured is one of the great Sidewinder Rattle backs that have caught some awesome fish lately. View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Lyle Stantiford
on Supanova II (Weymouth, Dorset)
Jul 2015 by Lyle Stantiford
Report on-board Supanova II
Ages since the last report, my apologies for that, things have just been Chaos here in Weymouth!
May was superb month with the wrecking just superb for Cod, and some really nice fish too. On one day the boat record was broken three times topped off by a cracker of 29lb for Andy Haydon.
Inshore was good for Bream for a few weeks until they had spawned and moved off which is the norm. With the arrival of a few mackerel the tope fishing went bonkers and continues to be steady now. Weymouth isn't famed for its big fish fishing and it gets rubbished by a lot of customers because they can't eat it. However when they get a 40b tope on they soon change their tune.
The channel islands run produced some decent flatty fishing throughout May, not mega numbers of fish but some very good quality. One day produced 26 turbot and Brill with 21 being keepers and 6 of those double figure fish.
Throughout June the Cod fishing continued and inshore there was plenty to target including Bream, Bass, Turbot, Brill, Tope, Undulate and Blonde Rays, and a nice few mackerel.
Now as July winds down with a fair bit of wind this month the wrecking has begun to tail off but still decent numbers of Cod for those that want it. Bream is getting better and better with each trip, inshore wrecks have produced great sport on the anchor with Bream, Bass, Pollack, congers and tope all featuring. A few decent sessions on the turbot and Brill locally has seen some cracking fish, the best being an 11b Brill once again for Andy Haydon, narrowly avoiding the boat record by just 2 ounces.
A nice day anchored on the wrecks yesterday produced 60+ congers for the group of 6 with the best fish about 60b's.
Here's Hoping August continues with great fishing and decent weather.
As always thanks to all that keep Weymouth on the map as the finest angling port in the country with the finest boats, skippers and facilities the modern angler could ask for. Keep on coming and experience the variety and quality any other port could only dream of offering.
Tight Lines,

The first Wreck Fishing Trip after our extensive refit is now under our belt, and what a cracking day it was!
Our New engines powered us a steady and comfortable 17 knots out to the wrecks with a brief stop to veiw a pod of dolphin.
The fishing was steady all day with plenty of chunky Cod coming to the Net, all caught on sidewinder lures.
