    Report on-board Silver Spray II

    March Report

    On the banks the fishing has continued to be excellent on the neap tides with plenty of blonde rays, congers and big spurdogs. We have also had some bonus pollack, cod and bass to go with the main catch. Sky sports have made a film of our banks fishing and you can see this soon on Tight Lines which is broadcast on Friday evenings. While presenter Andy Ford and the film crew were aboard we had cod to 15lb, congers to 35lb and 10 spurdogs all in double figures. It will be shown on Tight lines Friday 9th April at 18.30 on Sky Sports 2

    The plaice have started to appear on the Shambles and the best was a lovely fish of 4lb 8oz which fell to Bournemouth angler Dave Jensen. Turbot have been slow which is perhaps linked to the shortage of sandeels. We managed 1 eel in 2 20 minute tows. The water seems to be too cold and the eels are still buried in the sand. On the offshore wrecks we have found a few Pollack to 14lb and congers to 50lb.

    We are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the bream in April together with the turbot on the banks and increasing numbers of Pollack and cod on the offshore wrecks.

    Report on-board Supanova II

    The 13th March saw beautiful early spring weather, with a motly crew spreading from as far as Derbyshire on board we headed out again to target the Mid Channel Pollack. The day was fairly steady with a few quiet spells we managed a good day. All anglers landing at least five fish each. It was a truly enjoyable day and can't wait to get back out there. Thanks to Steve Parker for the pics.

    Picture is James Smith from Deeryshire with a a Pollack of around 12lb's

    Report on-board Supanova II

    Saturday 6th March saw Supanova undertake her first trip of the month. With a fresh breeze from the northeast conditions were not ideal with wind against tide and very coloured water making fishing challenging indeed. The guys on board worked extremely hard for the fish they caught and a big pat on the back must got to them for not giving up. A Big well done must go to Trevor Cozens who succesfully landed his first ever Pollack and promptly followed it up with a couple more. Well done Trevor. I have some spaces this coming friday, saturday and sunday. The long range weather forecast is looking good. Give me a ring 07976876667 or email lyle@deepsea.co.uk if you fancy getting amongst the Pollack.

    Report on-board Supanova II

    Well the 14th Feb saw Supanova take her maiden voyage! The target being Pollack on the mid channel wrecks. We wern't disapointed with a steady run of fish keeping me busy throughout the day. No monsters but all good qulity fish. It was a pleasure to be amongst such good company and a fantatstic spot of weather. Keep your eyes pealed on Supanova's pages in future weeks as we get amongst the biggys!

    Tight lines where ever you are fishing.

  • 30/12/2009 Fishing Report by Dave Saunders on Kellys Hero Charters (Brixham, Devon)

    30 Dec 2009 by Dave Saunders

    Report on-board Kellys Hero Charters

    Managed to get in a 4 hour trip yesterday 30th December for 5 lads holidaying in Brixham for the festive season.
    This is the first trip we have managed to get out on the sea for any length of time for weeks! Easterly winds give the Torbay area a problem and the wind has been easterly on and off for quite a few weeks.
    Fishing was restricted to local inshore reefs due to the remnants of the previous couple of days swell and the forecast of another strengthening NE !
    We did however manage to get amongst some good sized Whiting and filled up with enough fish for everyone to have several meals. A few poor cod added to species.
    It was just nice to get out on the sea again.
    Now taking booking for 2010, if you book four trips for the year a 10% reduction will apply.
    Best new year wishes to all new and old customers for 2010 Dave.
