on Spot On! (Brixham, Devon)

Report on-board Spot On!
July Has proved to be a great month weather wise and Spot On has been getting out as often as bookings allowed.
Some great fish caught so far this month with still good Cod fishing with lots of 20lb+ fish and still some bigger ones snapping the guys up as they seem to be in really fit shape and hard fighting, Pollock and Ling are still making appearances.
SPOT ON is officially winner of the Dartmouth Pub angler of the year competition which took place on Friday 12th July (Wrecking) with a Cod of 17lb 9oz.
Spot On is now pleased to offer specialised shark trips and with her be longer than most charter boats we can fish 6 rods with ease.
These trips will be 12, 14, 16+ hours.
Best Blue was estimated at around 80lb but unfortunately this was lost at the side of the boat trying to get her in for a pic, the best on the boat was 73lb.
Taking bookings for 2014 on the new boat (hopefully) and channel island interest is heating up so get in early to get your number one choice.
Pictured is regular angler Phil Robinson with his first ever Blue shark of 73lb helped by crew Nathan.

Report on-board Just Mary
Another hot weekend aboard 'Just Mary' from Poole. Saturday 13th saw a 'United Nations' of Anglers aboard the boat with the Home Nations, our European friends and a Far Eastern representative all onboard. A few Bream and assorted sundries of Summer Species followed on from more Mackerel than many of my group had seen in a long time, 'a Mackerel Fest' as one Angler phrased it ! Third mark of the day went to plan and we quickly had two Blonde Rays over the slack water period for one of our French friends and Gary from Poole. These were followed soon after by an Undulate Ray for Zak, aged 13, on the trip with his Dad Paul. A first trip on 'Just Mary' and a first Undulate Ray for Zak. Job done 'Mission Accomplished !' Sunday 14th and another mark produced again more Mackerel, plus Tope, Dogfish, Gurnard and two exceptional Undulate Rays. My 'Apprentice' had both the Rays whilst his Swindon Bus Drivers looked on......The Undulates were 15lb 4oz and 16lb 0oz, both female fish, both on fresh Mackerel, he could have claimed a 'Shimano Mission Accomplished' award from SeaAngler Magazine except for the fact that I got him that award years ago !
Nice to see that my teachings live on and he hasn't lost his touch ! Well done Apprentice ! (see if you can recognise him ?) All the best to You All, Malc. View Boats Page
