Report on-board Flamer IV
MARCH 2013
Mark Laker and crew from Kent joined Flamer IV for a two day angling break with flatty's in mind but unfortunatley the very coloured water meant that the Turbot and Plaice could not see the bait although Bryn Roberts did manage to catch a Plaice and win the biggest flatty prize on day one.Not detered on day they two decided to do a species competition with friendly wagers on who got the most points and the biggest fish. Three marks were fished at anchor and produced plenty of fish including Blonde Rays,Conger,Smooth Hounds,Dogfish,Pouts and lots of Whiting.Bryn Roberts won the Species Comp and Garry won the biggest fish prize with a 20Ib Conger eel.The banter and micky taking went on all day and the lads had lots of fun.It shows that you can change the plan to suit the fishing trends and conditions and still have an enjoyable day out fishing. Pictured is Lloyd Lawrence with his first ever Blonde Ray weighing 10Ib which he returned alive.

Fishing Report by Philip Higgins
on Mistress Linda / San Gina3 (Poole, Dorset)
Mar 2014 by Philip Higgins
Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3
After a long miserable winter the season is finally getting underway, the local banks have produced some good ray fishing with blondes to 25lb undulates to 17lb along with quite a few good quality spurdogs to 18lb and congers of various sizes ranging from baby straps to 70lb+. The water is still cloudy after all the gales but as each day passes the clarity improves and the fishing will follow, offshore wrecking has been slow this month but after the warm period we are having I expect this to change. The pics show the anglers into fish and enjoying themselves which is what fishing is all about. It is time for the prized turbot to appear along with the plaice in good numbers and our favourite summer species the bream will soon be here. I look forward to seeing all my regular crews this season and welcome any new additions. Good fishing

Fishing Report by Stephen Wake
on Channel Warrior (Bridport, Dorset)

Report on-board Channel Warrior
15/03/14 Today we had our first mackerel and what was encouraging they were under the 4 mile mark, I expect because the sea temp is up for this time of year ( about 9 degrees ). The morning session today was difficult (ebb) with cloudy,cold and choppy conditions. But the afternoon on the flood saw things turn round the chop flattened out, the sun came out and the big whiting turned up in steady numbers and all were fully roed-up. We also had our share of dogs along with a smattering of wrasse. Kept in-shore to day because of the fore cast, it was nothing like they were predicting and I could have gone off-shore.Our 8 hour trip as usual turned into a 9 1/4 hour, don't time fly when you are enjoying your self. Good fishing and tight lines to you all

Report on-board Channel Warrior
First time out for more than 3 weeks. Straight out to the whiting ground, the big tides and murky water, they were few and far between with just about 6 keepers. Plan B anchored up as close to a wreck as I dared go, and the lads were straight into conger with Chris reeks landing the first and the biggest of the day a conger well over the 50lb mark the scales decided to die on me. Mike Gray from Wells had his PB a conger in the low 30s , Alan from Okehamton had a battle for half an hour and in the end losing his conger it must have been huge. 9 conger were brought to the boat by 7 anglers. All this rod bending sport and we were less than 5 mile from port. Its a pity we did"ent have a few more whiting for the pan but hey that's fishing. Tight lines and good fishing to you all.

on Silver Spray II (Poole, Dorset)

Report on-board Silver Spray II
I’m sure you won’t be overly shocked to hear I haven’t been out much since my last monthly report, a grand total of 2 trips as it happens. Both of which saw us leave port at first light and return early to make the most of short windows in the terrible weather we have been having. What we lacked in weather we certainly made up for in spur dogs as anglers Kevin Griffiths and Roger Clarke landed the 2 biggest spur dogs I have ever seen on the same trip. The pair were using large mackerel cut baits on single hook flowing traces of 100lb mono. After sporting fights the fish were safely brought onboard and weighed in at 22lb 4oz and 25lb 8oz respectively for Kevin and Roger. Both fish were heavily pregnant with pups and were returned alive and kicking after a couple of minutes. Roger’s fish would have beaten the current British Record for a boat caught spur dog had we brought it ashore, I’ve had a couple of different reports of the record size but it would have beaten it by at least a pound. Both days produced plenty of blonde rays as well up into the mid twenties along with a handful of bull huss and congers to keep rod tips bouncing. Let’s hope we get all the bad weather out of the way now so we can enjoy a nice summer again!!
