Report on-board Spot On!
⭐️⭐️⭐️ WHAT A DAY ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Bumper weather along with BUMPER fishing. ������������������������
Today saw Spot On and it’s crew head out in lovely calm conditions and glorious ’summer’ sunshine.
A couple of wrecks in and and BOOM! It was on, the quality of the fish was very good with lots of double figure prime pollock coming in for the lads every drift.
The day was safe to say great with everyone aching and plenty of fillets for all.
Biggest fish fell to Tim Phillips with a fine specimen pollock of 16lb 4oz.
This was a trip that will be remembered that’s for sure! ��️
A big thanks to #sidewinderlures once again for there deadly Skerries eels which did the damage today that’s for sure.
NEXT BREAK IN THE WEATHER AND WE GO AGAIN.

Fishing Report by Matt Forrester
on Silver Halo (Torquay, Devon)
Mar 2023 by Matt Forrester
Report on-board Silver Halo
So after a year out it's been good to get back to my boat Silver Halo and into the fishing in the UK.
Since being back I've been busy readying Silver Halo for her 5th coding and survey so much of March has mostly been work off the water, but now we're ready to fish and it's all down to the weather!
I've only managed to get out 3 times so far, fishing the wrecks with lures and jigs with mixed results but generally very positive overall.
We've had an amazing half dayer and two tougher full days, both with strong winds against tide, still some positive results with pollock to 18lb and cod to 7lb. Lots of smaller pollock are close to the 8lb mark but we've had a few bigger fish.
Most fish taken on the large green Sidewinder Skerries eels, other favourites have been the smaller 4" version, white and the black glitter Sidewinder sandeels. I also have a new set of jigs that I'm trailing over here and so far I've tried 2 patterns, 1 failed the test but 1 has passed with flying colours!! More time now needed to test the others.
Please keep an eye on my face book page and group for trip updates and short notice spaces, many thanks Matt. View Boats Page

Managed a day fishing inshore yesterday in pleasant conditions with a couple of Bream caught the first ones for 2023 which is a encouraging sign. Hopefully wont be long before they show up in numbers on our inshore reefs.
The Plaice fishing has started with few boated whilst fishing on the drift and is starting to shape up nicely. View Boats Page

Report on-board Patricia Rose
2023 Winter Season
We took advantage of this year's lack of fish in Jan to get Patricia Rose out of the water. She's due her 5 year MCA inspections and recoding, so some serious investment went into her. Shiny rebalanced props, rudder, and rope cutter upgrades, including new hydraulic lines. She's been back in the water now nearly a month and back to finding some quality fish over this tricky time of year. There's still some great Blonde Rays around despite commercial pressure for the smaller tides with high 20s still being caught. Your other option on small tides now is to look East to the Skerries for Plaice, Turbot and Ray action. Inshore can be tough this time of year but for those willing to try, we've still had Pollok to 16lb and double figure Cod. What people want from the offshore wrecks is hard fighting Pollock and in 220 foot these fish certainly test your gear, biceps as well as your angling skill. Check out our availability calendar for details and WhatsApp me when you are ready to book or want more info. As ever tight lines. Andy, Patricia Rose Charters Ltd View Boats Page

Report on-board Piscary
Traditionally we haven't done inshore trips in February and March but this weekend a few keen anglers decided to give it a go. We were pleasantly surprised with the amount of fish caught, about 12 species on the boat Congers, Ballan Wrasse, Plaice, Dab, Pollack, Whiting and more 3 Beared Rockling! In the Piscary species hunt 2023 the boat tally is now 23, unbelievable for the time of year. Jay Hemming is now in the lead on 12, Andy Pedon is second on 11, Vernon Allan is third on 9. There are spaces coming up on Friday the 3rd of March hopefully offshore anchoring. Whole boat is available from the 6th to 10th of March.

Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3
As the new season begins we get the 1st of the winter storms, when we have been out locally the fish have been on the smaller side but plentiful to keep everyone interested but when we get it right and venture offshore the fishing is full on action with me not evening getting back to the cabin between landing fish, our last adventure saw a few new PBs and some 1sts for the anglers with Andy taking the honours biggest Spur, most Spurs and most fish the biggest fish of the day was an Eel between 50 and 55lb on light gear. As the tide and weather increased we shot back inshore for a couple of drifts and landed 2 Plaice in 15 minutes to end the day.

Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3
As spring approaches the inshore winter species are starting to thin out with plenty of small to medium whiting, smaller eels dogs etc this is the time of year we look to fishing further offshore looking for as my anglers refer to it as ‘fishing for things with teeth’ target Spurdogs, Tope, Congers, Blonde Rays . During these trips it is not uncommon for a Porbeagle to circle the boat and often nudging the hooked fish. Today due to big tides and thick fog we fished inshore and had lots of Whiting as the sun burnt the freezing food off and the tide eased we moved out catching more whiting as the tide turned we decided to go drifting for Plaice and as fortune had it we were successful with several coming aboard and in surprisingly good condition with the best falling to Paul.
