Report on-board Becca Marie
Well its been a funny few weeks for us, unfortunatly most of our wreck fishing trips were cancelled due to strong winds, while the inshore reef and bank trips seemed to get the calmer weather, we did manage a few inshore wreck fishing days which were very productive, bringing in plenty of Pollock, not massive but up to 9lb. ( ideal dinner size).. We did venture to a favourite inshore wreck of mine and had our first Bass of the year which was a very welcome sight........We also started our regular reef trips at anchor and managed to catch,whiting, coddling,Bullhuss,Thornback Ray and a truck load of doggies which was i great start and can only improve..... Our regular trips to the Skerries Banks has seen it improve on every trip, we are now catching many Plaice over 2lb and bagging 30+ of keeper Fish aswell as return many smaller Plaice, we have also seen some small Gurnard coming up along with many many small whiting.
Coming up we have planned more trips to the Skerries and our trips to the Reefs aswell as offshore Wrecking so check out our calender and come and join us.

on Spot On! (Brixham, Devon)

Report on-board Spot On!
Wreck fishing is still going strong from Brixham if you do the distance.
Great to see more Cod than Pollock caught on one trip and with the Ling and whiting still around its been a good, Cod are small at the moment, a few double figure ones in the mix but with the average fish around 5-7lb mark, next few weeks will see the bigger specimens turning up.
Remember Spot On is Brixhams premier charter boat and will always keep you up to date with catches and reports, just check out the catches so far this year already.
Skerries bank is still fishing with good numbers of plaice being caught, also the first small Bass was caught on a recent trip so things are looking to be a great Summers fishing on board Spot On.
Sorry for the lack of photos as I was flat out with the net this weekend as my crew was unwell.
Spot On is on Facebook where you can see anglers who have been, caught and conquered the fishing on Spot On.

Report on-board Out The Blue
Mackerel still a bit sparse, so we had to fall back on some squid baits. We anchored offshore for some reef fishing and picked up a few nice Ling and larger Pollock just starting to show along with the usual Whiting and Pouting. Hopefully it can only get better from now on.

Report on-board Warrior II
Just did first Reef trip of season and pleasantly surprised by the great Mackerel (size and quality). Same goes for the whiting - enough for everyone after 3 or 4 drifts !!. Anchor fishing still a bit slow though Colin managed a 24lb Conger. Pollack today not showing in great numbers or size but should be soon.
Water temp a lot better than this time last year so soon be livening up on all fronts Tight Lines, - Pete View Boats Page

Report on-board Spot On!
Good day on the skerries banks today with a great bunch of guys, lots of nice prime plaice with the biggest going 2lb 12oz, 66 plaice boated and many returned, lots of double headers aswell.
Species landed were:
Plaice, Whiting, Launce, Bass, Dogfish, Mackerel, Herring and Grey Gurnard.
Remember a 10 hour skerries bank trip is just £35 per person on board Spot On, Why pay more?
Pictured is Terry with his first double header and showing 2 great conditioned Skerries Plaice, it was a shame Spot On didnt get to enter the Dartmouth Plaice festival this year.

Fishing Report by Colin Penny
on Flamer IV (Weymouth, Dorset)
29 Apr 2014 by Colin Penny
Report on-board Flamer IV
Hi, April saw some excellent fish caught in particular big Undulate Rays and Spurdogs. Due to the poor water clarity the flatty fishing was very up and down but we still managed a few good Plaice, Turbot and Brill catches. At the end of the month the wrecking really picked up with some excellent Pollack fishing. Flamer IV Fish of the Month was awarded to Jon Patten with his 19Ib 14oz Undulate Ray(pictured). 24 different species have been caught so far this year on Flamer IV. During May I would expect the flatty fishing to improve along with the wreck trips for Pollack,Cod and Ling, and some Bass on the bigger tides. The inshore reefs will see the Black Bream arrive in numbers and the excellent Ray fishing should continue.
PLACES AVAILABLE IN MAY - Flatty Trips - May 1st - 1 place left, May 2nd - 1 place left,

Report on-board Flamer IV
On only my second wrecking trip of the year it was nice to find some good water clarity and plenty of Pollack.The Pollack were caught on a variety of lures but the best lure on the day was certainly the Bubble Gum Pink Red Gill.Star of the show was Earl Coates who caught 14 Pollack which included two double figure Pollack weighing 12Ib 1oz(pictured) and 11Ib 11oz..Earl's successful tackle was a 15Ib class rod with a flying collar rig with a 12 foot trace and pink lure and of course his undoubted skill. Other double figure Pollack were caught by John Billett 12Ib,Russell Salmon 10Ib 14oz,Dave Kingman 11Ib 4oz. " SYMPATHY" must go to Flamer IV regular Rick Hawkins who was fishing next to Earl but could not catch a Pollack for love nor money,"Better luck next time Rick".
