Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3
After a long cold spell the fishing is starting to come alive, the Pollack have appeared on the wrecks in good size and numbers but most of our time has been either Ray fishing on the smaller tides or Turbot fishing we have landed good fish up to 20lb so far and although several small ones have been put back for another day the numbers have been good, due to popular request I will be doing more mid week trips in March, if your up for Pollack, Rays or Turbot please call.

Report on-board Beowulf
February was not as bad as it could have been,with some good Ray fishing on the offshore banks.
March has started well, with Rays, and a lot of sport with Turbot and Brill. Some boats have caught some whoppers, but they have tended to be the odd one. we have done well with no's however, even if we have put nearly all back!
It has been a very cold start to the year and water temperatures are down as well as the non appearance of sand eels so far.
It will not be long before Bream start to move in though, and although the offshore wrecks can fish well, it's not been the weather to go that far.
NOW is the time for that lifetime best Turbot Brill or Plaice. Give me a ring, I still have a few spaces. View Boats Page

MARCH 2013 - Wrecking trips have produced some good Pollack fishing of late.On my most recent wreck trip some Ling were also caught on Lures.Colin Leadbeater from Bristol landing the biggest Ling weighing 20Ib.Colin was using a Shakespeare 20Ib class Ugly Stick rod with a flying collar rig and a silver sidewinder lure.Colin is pictured with his 20Ib Ling. Ling Fishing should now improve as we go into March and although we catch them on lures the favourite way of fishing for them is on a slow drift or at anchor with squid and mackerel baits.
So if you fancy getting a "TUG ON YOUR TACKLE" from a Ling then Book your Place/s Now.

Report on-board Supanova II
Hi all,
Well February was definitely at the mercy of the weather. Continuous Northeast winds put pay to allot of trips but when ever there was a small break and we managed to get out the fishing was very good indeed. Most trips were Mid Channel after the Pollack. Catches were very good every day with all on board going home with a nice bag of fillets each day. I would say the average size of fish is a little down on last year but all the fish are fit and healthy and certainly put a good ben in your rod!
The lure of the moment seems to be the bubble gum pink Red Gill evolutions. These latest editions to the Red Gill Family really are the lure of the moment regardless of colour. They seem to last well and on their day out fish live sandeels.
I also have some of the New Snowbee Super Skad lures on board and these were used this weekend for the first time and matched the red gills fish for fish so be worth sticking some in your box for next time.
I now have the full range of Snowbee deep blue rods on board so next time your out and you fancy try with one just let me know.
Towards the end of February we did try and experimental look at the Shambles and to be fair conditions were against us with coloured water and not allot of tide. We still managed four which was very encouraging indeed.
Focus over the next few weeks will still be the Pollack mid Channel and more Turbot and Plaice fishing.
If you fancy a day and cant see a date that suits on my schedule then give me a bell/text 07976876667.
Tight lines and thanks to all who continue to support Weymouth.

Report on-board Flamer IV
MARCH 2013 - An offshore wrecking trip on a cold March day produced some good Pollack fishing.Pick of the bunch was Flamer IV regular Russell Salmon who caught several Pollack and also beat his Personal Best with a 14 Pounder (pictured).During the early part of trip a variety of all the usual lures were used but the best lure on the day proved to be bubble gum pink red gills which accounted for the majority of the Pollack. Certainly this is the time of the year to catch Big Pollack.
SO DON'T MISS OUT.
On the same trip Trevor Pegg was not catching but with some advice from me and fellow angler Peter Gillett he managed to put a few fish together.So as the saying goes "every little helps". Certainly at times the Pollack will be be caught on certain colour and type lures but in a change of tide or a day later another type/colour lure will produce the best catches.So always keep a good selection of lures with you.
I look forward to seeing you all soon an Flamer IV. Thanks for your Support. View Boats Page
