Report on-board Bessie Vee
A few sharks around now, with our last two sharking trips yielding 4 blues - best of which was 95lb, followed by an 80lb, 75lb and a 60lb. Two of the Looe boats have also had a shark each over the last couple of days. Plenty of small mackerel on the surface have arrived, boding well for the next few months.

Report on-board Silver Spray II
Taking full advantage of this continued good weather at the moment, nice to see such a wide spread of fish across the grounds. The bass have turned up in full force both inshore and offshore with a range of sizes averaging at 5lb using the live mackerel method mostly. Looking forward to getting back over the channel after a few more bass trips this week.

Fishing Report by Ross Parham
on Spot On! (Brixham, Devon)
Jun 2013 by Ross Parham
Report on-board Spot On!
Spot On was blessed with some summer weather at last and zero winds as we ventured out to the wrecks in search of Cod.
Some really nice specimens landed and some even bigger ones lost as the guys were using very 'sporting' tackle.
As you can see it was another good haul and everyone on board caught some prime summer Cod.
Other species included a small ling, whiting, Pollock and pouting.
Biggest fish fell to fellow charter skipper from Cardiff Steve Jones with a fish of 16lb 8oz.
Still plenty of spaces available on board Spot On out of Brixham Devon for a fraction of the price compared to many other ports that fish these waters.
And in my opinion the home of wreck fishing!
Pictured is a couple of fish taken on the same drift, we again had good numbers and good size of fish.

Report on-board Spot On!
Wrecking from Brixham on Spot On has been energetic to say the least this last weekend with a massive haul of fish, Cod a few Pollock and a ling made up the days catch.
The numbers are as follows:
A huge haul of Cod, a few Pollock and a ling caught on Spot On! from Brixham Devon. over 300 Fish, 36 Doubles which included the following 2x23lb, 1x19lb, 2x16.5lb, 3x16lb, 3x15.5lb, 4x15lb, 4x14b, 6x12lb, 11x10-11lb. Just wish every day was this good, 10 anglers and 10 bent rods pretty much every drift.
Pictured is a few of the fish on the deck.
The skerries continue to fish well with good numbers of plaice being caught and a massive fish of over 7lb landed by a private boat.
Spot On! is only a short steam away from the skerries and will guarantee you at least 8 hours fishing time on the banks. So more time with lines in the water.
