  • 17/05/2015 Fishing Report by Malcolm Collins on Just Mary (Christchurch, Dorset)

    Report on-board Just Mary

    Hi All, our first back to back weekend trips of the new Season since my return from abroad in late April saw us targeting the hard fighting Black Bream in Poole Bay right on our doorstep ! Both successful days with reasonable numbers of fish landed in big Spring tides and westerly winds. All female fish being returned and bright Blue male fish of good size being reserved for the table. They are in prime condition at this time of year and probably taste better now than at any other time of the Season. Light tackle, spinning rods and fixed spool reels work well, with the most Sport being enjoyed by those Anglers using the paternoster rigs with light leads and size 4 or size 2 hooks.....no bigger than that ! Bait is a cut piece of ragworm for scent and a cigarette sized strip piece of calamari fluttering on the hook. A 'machine gun' bite as the Bream attack the bait then lift the rod tip and.....you're IN ! They are normally lip hooked and fight all the way to the net, Great Sport ! Book your trip soon to enjoy this light tackle fishing ..... All the best, Malc.

    The Wreck fishing trips continue to be very good with excellent catches of Cod .A variety lures have been used but the Cod's favorites seem to be Pink Red Gill and Pink or Rhubarb and Custard Sidewinders.On a recent Trip Nick Gunn was joined by three friends who had not fished on Flamer IV before and they were amazed at the quality of the Cod fishing on their Wrecking Trip. Pictured is Jamie Nash with a 12Ib Cod.

    Often after some windy weather with water clarity not very good the best plan can be to fish at anchor on Banks and/or Reefs as one of our recent trips proved. The Spurdog fishing was just superb with lots of double figure fish and Personal Bests being set and broken ie Andy Collings broke his Spurdog PB three times with 16Ib,17Ib and a 20Ib fish. Baits used were Squid, Mackerel, Launce and Hermit crab. Pennel rigs and single hook traces with 6/0 Sakuma Manta hooks were used on the day.All the fish were released alive.Andy Collings is pictured with his 20 Pounder.
    The Reef/Bank Trips at this time of the year wiill produce Rays,Spurdogs,Black Bream,Tope,Congers,Bull Huss,Smooth Hounds,Cod,Turbot and Brill.
    The Next Reef/Bank Trips with places available are May12th,28th,June 17th,20th,24th,26th,July 1st, 2nd,
