Report on-board Silver Spray II
Brilliant time down at the Lowrance British Cod Championships again this year, many thanks to the West Wight Skippers Association for inviting me. Great bunch of guys on the boat for the 2 days, both of which were fished in the solent due to plenty of south/sou'easterly winds and rain. We were just practicing on day 1 bringing no cod to the boat but we more than made up for it on day 2 with 13 cod hitting the deck. The key seemed to be small lug and squid baits fished on 4/0 hooks on a 3 down rig. We missed out on top boat by one fish, we either came second or third i think, and well done to Clive Webbwho was top angler on Silver Spray II, caught 5 fish today and finished 2nd overall with a total weight of just under 21lb. Roll on next years comp!!

Due to an indifferent weather forecast the planned wrecking trip was changed to a Reef/Bank trip and the anglers were not dissapointed as numerous Congers were caught along with Blonde and Undulate Rays,Tope,Whiting and the usual Pouts and Dogfish. Russell Salmon did particularly well catching lots of Congers and two Blonde Rays.Russell broke two Personal Bests with a 42Ib Conger and a 21Ib 8oz Blonde Ray.Russell was using a Sakuma 4/0 circle hook on a flowing trace with a white muppett and Squid and Mackerel cocktail bait. Paul Garrett from Swansea caught two new species and set Personal Bests with a 13Ib 8oz Undulate and a 20Ib Tope. Garry Braund from Bristol caught his Personal Best Blonde Ray which weighed in at 17Ib 8oz.All the fish were released alive. Russell Salmon is pictured with his PB 21Ib 8oz Blonde Ray.

Report on-board Reel Deal
another fantastic day aboard reel deal again !
had plenty of action after a slow start in minehead bay but found the fish on a feeding frenzy about
1 mile offshore on some mixed ground.from the moment the anchor dug in until we had to leave fish of all species were coming aboard to all anglers.blonde ray,thornback ray,plenty of hounds up to 12lb,a bonus bass of about 4lb to neal and a lovely fighting conger of just under 26lb caught on light tackle to me.there was quite a lot of conger about as well as the ever present dogfish but this was great fun and we all had a good time aboard with plenty of hot drinks and the usual banter....
cant wait to book again ! very helpful and experienced skipper who can supply rod and reel as well as fish baits for a minimal amount. View Boats Page

Report on-board Silver Spray II
October 2014 report
We have almost finished a large variety of our trips for the year and it will soon be time to settle into a couple months targeting the winter cod. Over the last few we weeks we have done the last of the bassing, wrecking and also our trips across the channel. The last trip over to Alderney surprised me with some of the calmest and warmest days of the year, not often you can get sun burnt in October. It was a brilliant 4 days with 19 species brought to the boat including the elusive couches sea bream. Not often these days we catch a species we haven’t had before and such a superb looking fish at that. Andrew Kennedy was the man of the hour catching 2 of them using an ounce bullet lead and a short flowing trace baited with squid head, the biggest weighing just over 2lb. The mid channel wrecks really produced a lot of big black bream this year with fish up to 5lb coming on most sessions. Along with these we have also had a few red bream which we haven’t seen for 5 years or so. Gerry Todd brought the first one ever onboard Silver Spray II which he thought was a scad. On the inshore side the shambles is fishing very well for turbot and plaice along with a wide variety of other species. One day recently we tried vertical jigging on inshore reef marks which was a first for us on Silver Spray and turned out to be brilliant sport. Using spinning rods and fixed spool reels the lads managed to catch 7 bass, a dozen or so monster wrasse and more pollock than you can shake a stick at. I’ve only spent a half day down off the Needles so far which produced plenty of congers rays and the first of the years whiting but I’m looking forward to heading down again soon and bagging our first winter cod.

The anchored sessions on Banks/Reefs are producing good Ray and Tope fishing along with lots of Congers also the Whiting are starting to show.Ian Slater landed his first ever Blonde Ray weighing about 7Ib and then followed that up with a whopping 26Ib 8oz Blonde Ray and of course new Personal Best.Whole Clamari Squid and Mackerel cocktails presented on pennel rigs of Sakuma Stinger 6/0 and 4/0 hooks are proving the most successful.
