Report on-board Spot On!
Easterly winds have been around for far to long now although Spot On had Milnrow sea anglers on for a weekends wrecking this weekend 2nd & 3rd March.
Saturday saw us moving around having a few fish here and there and then on the last wreck we hit in to feeding time with some great Pollock and whiting caught and some even better ones lost. everyone was getting in on the action with great fish from 6lb up to 13lb 8oz.
Sunday saw us heading out again into an even fresher easterly wind, once again we got to the first wreck, and Spot On was Spot On again with short quick drifts bringing more Pollock with again great action all around the boat, biggest today was 13lb.
As the wind picked up we searched around for a wreck we could get a nice drift on but the wind pushing a force 6 was too much and the line angle was lost so we headed home to get in port at 1630.
All in a all for the conditions a good couple days on the fine sport that these Pollock offer and thanks to all the guys of Milnrow sea anglers for braving the elements and kept the reels winding all day.
Hope to see you all again soon

Fishing Report by Sam Cumming
on Silver Spray II (Poole, Dorset)
Feb 2013 by Sam Cumming
Report on-board Silver Spray II
We are now into that quiet part of the year where if you are unlucky with the weather you might find a lot of your trips cancelled, which has been the case quite a lot lately. The inshore fishing for whiting and cod tailed off a little early this year, I put this down to a lack of settled weather, January isn’t renowned for being the best month weather wise but it’s been worse than usual. To keep the rods bending I decided to utilize our offshore fishing on the banks, even though you can’t sit it out all day on the stronger tides you can still head out for a couple of hours either side of slack in search of some different species. As you saw in last month’s report the rays and spurdogs were there in abundance and I’m happy to say it was much the same again this month, the brief period between the inshore fishing grinding to a halt and the wrecking for pollack leaves us with just the neap tides to head out to the offshore marks. Best fish in the last couple weeks goes to Gary Holmes with his new boat record undulate ray of 19lb 4oz, the ray took a mackerel bait just after slack water on a rough ground mark 15 miles off.
Even though it’s a bit earlier than usual with two nice days of settled weather this week I decided to get the first couple of wreck trips of the year under my belt. There were plenty of pollack to be had, all of a nice fat healthy stamp due to the numerous shoals of sprats and scad hovering around the wrecks. Whilst fishing a wreck just before slack water we had a big surprise in the form of a new boat record ling. Andy Deacon was fishing half a pout for a conger when the monster took the bait, after fifteen minutes of scrapping with the fish on his 15-20lb class ugly stick it hit the surface. Weighing in at 31lb 4oz it is certainly the biggest ling I’ve seen in my career so far, well done to Andy what a fish!!! View Boats Page

Report on-board Flamer IV
WRECKING for POLLACK - during February and March is the time to fish for Big Pollack and recent wreecking trips have proved this with plenty of double figure Pollack being caught.Quite a few anglers have broken their personal bests.The Pollack have been caught on a variety of lures rhubarb and custard sidewinders,also white and blue ones,Jelly worms,and of course the good old red gill still does the business.Robin Amor landed several Pollack using a jelly worm tipped with a ragworm "Never seen that done before"but it worked.Pictured is Flamer IV regular Phil Harrison with the 16Ib Pollack he landed which was his Personal Best. Phil's successful lure was a pink redgill.

on Supanova II (Weymouth, Dorset)

Report on-board Supanova II
Well.... Supanova II is now happily bobbing round in Weymouth after completing sea trials. The home leg of the journey from Portsmouth to Weymouth saw gusting winds in excess of 35knts which is the best part of a gale and she handles absolutely amazingly. Proving what an outstanding platform she is for angling.
The last couple of days has seen the maiden trips out which have both been nothing short of an absolute pleasure. The first trip was for a few friends and family that have helped along the way with Supanova II. The chosen specie was the hard fighting Pollack that inhabit the mid channel wrecks at this time of year.
After a pleasant cruise at 17knts and a little over an hour and a half later we were at our first location and we were into fish from the off, this continued steadily all day with most fish in the 8-14lb range they really put up a good account of themselves. A couple of moves to look for the biggie also produced fish and on the penultimate drift Kevin Turner smashed his PB by over 6lb and landed this cracker of 20lb 2oz (pictured)! Well done Kev!
THe second day was the first trip proper, the fishing was a little slow but a move another 10 miles further on made all the difference, the fishing was crazy and by half one the lads had enough fish for the table so they asked if we could get in early to watch the rugby. We took a steady plod home while crewman Ryan filleted down the fish all ready for the lads tables!
Feb and March really are the best time to bag a big PB Pollack so if you fancy a day on the all new Supanova II get in touch!
Thanks to all again for their continued support to the port.
Tight lines,

WRECKING TRIP - My first wrecking trip of 2013 had two shifts,in the morning a steady stream of Pollack were caught on a variety of lures with Phil Harrison landing the biggest weighing 12Ib 8oz(Pictured).But the afternoon shift forgot to turn up with only the occassional Pollack being caught after change in tide direction.The wonders of fishing I guess.
