Report on-board Spot On!
Spot On has been out in search of Bass whilst wrecking and the lads were not disappointed with a private hire one day of just 3 anglers taking some nice Bass with the smallest being 6lb's and the biggest taken just over 10lb.
Cod have been a little slow due to the larger tides we have had lately but I am sure we have not seen the last of them yet.
But the first trip of August did through up another 20lb'er so spot on is continuing were July left of averaging a 20lb'er per trip.
The bass have mainly been caught on live baits however we did see the first caught on lures and snagged 3 in one day on lures so things are looking up.

on Che Sara Sara (Newquay, Cornwall)

Report on-board Che Sara Sara
Not so far out today as sea conditions were far from perfect, ended up drifting on a reef about 5 mile off. Plenty of marks on the sounder and due to the rough conditions the fish stayed hugging the bottom. The first few drifts produced the best fishing of the day due to the wind against tide slowing up the drift.The pollock weren't the biggest but not bad for reef fish and we soon had several aboard.As per norm some had a better day than others and also nice to see the mackerel showing up at long last. Not the best days fishing and certainly not the worst, mackerel, gurnard and pollock making up the majority of the catch.

Report on-board Spot On!
First wrecking of August 2013.
Spot On was brave to face the first weekends weather in august 2013 and ventured out to the offshore wrecks in search of some nice Cod.
Fishing was patchy with a few fish coming here and there but we continued to search wreck to wreck picking up what we could.
Everyone caught some nice prime fish with the biggest taken by Mark Wellington of Plymouth with a nice fish of 20lb 2oz. His son also got in on the action with a 15lb 2oz being his biggest Cod of the day. we had some smaller Pollock and some nice ling up to 15lb, the biggest surprise of the day was a 65lb Conger eel taking the ling bait on a drift, the fish was released at the side of the boat to the relief of some on board who did not want to share the deck with the fish.
July was a very good month for Cod on Spot On with 10 fish over 20lb and 70 fish over 10lb.
Not Bad for only 10 trips.
Lets hope august continues to produce and thank you all for supporting Spot On of Brixham.
Pictured is Mark and his son with there 2 personal best Cod's
2014 diary and tides are here so now taking bookings, Channel island trips welcome.
