Report on-board Spot On!
4th and 5th of May saw the return of Milnrow sea anglers for there second trip of 2013.
It was Brixhams Pirate Festival over this weekend so we got in the mood by flying the 'Jolly Roger' flag for the festivities.
8 anglers made the long journey down to fish on Spot On.
Saturday saw a windy day on the skerries but still Spot On managed 75 plaice along with Dabs, Bull huss, grey gurnard, whiting, dogfish and herring.
Best Plaice fell to Paul Whiting topping out at 3lb.
Sunday was a day we would like many more of with flat calm seas and we did not waste it, travelling out to the wrecks and the first cod's of 2013 for Spot On and I am sure not the last, smaller Pollock up to the 7/8lb mark and ling up to 15lb made up the day with more whiting and pouting, over the weekend the lads managed 12 different species between them.
I would like to thank the Milnrow lads for some great fun and bringing the sunshine instead of the snow with them this time. View Boats Page

Report on-board Silver Spray II
A few photos from the this last week, as you can see some stunning weather to go with some good fishing. The first big hit of bream came on friday with a good selection of males and females of all sizes up to about 2lb 8oz. A couple of late spur dogs from slack water on thursday was a bit of a surprise to round off some good sized pollock and a few cod off the wrecks. Another first for this summer was Dave Faulkners bass weighing a respectable 5lb.

Report on-board Optimist
Fishing has been good recently with catches of Plaice on the Banks and Pollack and Pout on the Wrecks, up until now it has been mainly Herring and Whiting inshore but Hurrah the Mackerel have arrived although small in quantity they are big on quality lets hope these are followed by larger predators. Still targeting what the customer wants and can arrange specific charters, call to enquire what's available, Nigel

Report on-board Kellys Hero Charters
Good numbers of Plaice still being caught off the Skerries Banks, wreck fishing is still proving to be lean due to the water teperature, May bloom and lack of bait fish this should soon change with the warmer weather.

Report on-board Flamer IV
FLAMER IV NEWS - During April the Plaice catches gradualy improved as the weather got better and the water clarity also got better.The biggest Plaice caught on Flamer IV was a six pounder landed by Mark Towner(pictured) which also won him Flamer IV Fish of the Month for April.The Turbot fishing was patchy which I put down to the well below water temperature for the time of year. The best Turbot of thge month was a 13Ib fish caught by Richard Christian. Two Flatty Competitions were done againsat other boats with the Flamewr IV Teams losing one and winning one.The inshore Reef/Bank fishing produced some excellent Spurdogs up to 18Ib and Blonde Rays up to 25Ib . Other species caught were Thornback,Undulate and Spoitted Rays.Smooth Hounds,Conger,Bull Huss etc.The wrecking produced Pollack and Ling.
During May we can expect the Cod to arrive on the wrecks and Summer species like Black Bream,Tope,Mackerel etc to show up.I am sure the flatty fishing will continue to be good.
On May 20th I am doing a 5 day West Country Trip and there is one place available for anyone that would like to join a group of individuals for this fishing/social trip.INTERESTED ? then contact me for details.
THANKS for all your support and I hope to see you on Flamer IV soon. View Boats Page

Spanish comes up with the goods again. Great day out Dave lots of pollack , whiting and a few haddock. Bit of a swell picked up in the afternoon all adds to the fun, didn't effect the fishing. Hope the rest of this years trips are as good as this one.

Some really good fishing on the Skerries at the moment for Plaice with some good size fish, not many Launce and surprisingly no Doggies, Wrecks still producing Pollack and Pout with occasional other species but the seas are still settling down after 2 months of incessant Easterly Gales. At least we are getting out now and bringing home some fish. Inshore still no sign of the Mackerel, only good sized Herring and baby Whiting

FLATTY REPORT - At last the weather has improved and the water clarity has got a lot better,which in turn has improved the Plaice fishing as they can now see your baits.In recent days the Plaice fishing has been good with plenty of fish in the 2 to 4Ib range and the occassional big one .Mick Beach age 66 from Sussex landed a 5Ib 8oz Plaice only to be followed by a six pounder caught by Mark Towner age 60 from Winchester.In both cases the successful bait was ragworm and strips of Ammo squid. Mark is Pictured with his Personal Best 6Ib Plaice.
