A cracking day afloat with eight guys from various Police Sea Angling Clubs. Six hours just off Rhoose saw 14 Blonde Rays in the boat, to around 15 pound, a Cod, Conger, Spotted Ray, four Whiting, four Pout and of course loads of Lesser Spotted Dogs.
Some 18-19 boats took part in the contest, the lads on the Optimist did really well!

Report on-board Spot On!
Lily Lola was out wrecking this weekend on saturday the 19th and sunday 20th May 2012.
Saturday started off well with some good cod to 16lb.
As the tide slackened we were greeted with 2 ling, lots of pout and some nice channel whiting.
We ended the day finding a wreck with lots of pollack on it with the biggest being 10lb.
Sunday saw the 'Western Power' boys first ever sea fishing trip and we were greeted with some great sport from Pollack and many fish being caught on each drift, later in the day saw the Cod come on the feed and everyone caught some fish and some losing many others as they were getting a bit excited when hooking into them.
I would just like to say thanks to both groups for being a laugh and making the gorgeous sunny day more fun.
Hope to see you all very soon.

Report on-board Flamer IV
I had a fantastic fishing trip on the Flamer lV. The skipper Colin made the trip so worthwhile. His knowledge of the local wrecks and best fishing spots is second to none. He made it his priority to ensure that we all had a great time and caught plenty of fish.
I have been on many fishing trips that once on board and paid your money the skipper has just anchored up and not made a lot of effort to find the ideal fishing spots. Colin the skipper on Flamer IV is certainly not in this category, I lost count of the number of wrecks we went to.
All in all a very successful and enjoyable fishing trip which comes highly recommended. This is what fishing is all about, I will definitely be booking to go again. View Boats Page

Report on-board Spot On!
A break in the weather and a nice neap tide aloud 'Lily Lola' to get out wrecking for Conger.
The morning was difficult with the wind still fresh and running against the tide made anchoring tricky but after the wind dropped and we setteled down we got some action with the eels.
All fish were over 28lb with the biggest at 49lb caught by Steve as he was desperate to get a qualifyng eel to join the British Conger Club and get his 'tie'!
2 more eels over the 40lb mark also came into the boat.
There were four anglers and at one time four eels on at the same time.
All fish returned alive after being wieghed and photographed.
Thanks to Chris, Steve, Giles and Tom for being a great crowd and i hope to see you again soon for some more battles with the eels.
Maybe we will get the ones that got away!! View Boats Page

Report on-board Warrior II
Hi all,
Well here we are in May and it seems everything is getting going !
Had a Reef trip today (Sun May 13th) and it was quite lively with plenty of V/good sized Whiting, Ling, Pollock and a smattering of Congers. Bait (mackerel) was plentyful and the lads from Okehampton seemed happy with their day. Bookings are very good for June onwards but I have got the odd day left here and there.
Will keep you informed as to the Sharks starting, Pete View Boats Page
