Fishing Report by Shaun Pedley

Report on-board Our Joe
Winter Fishing from The Dart aboard OUR JOE-L has defiantly started.
Yesterday aboard OUR JOE-L, with a long awaited break in the weather and only a couple of keen anglers, we set off for an inshore wreck. It was enjoyable having all of the boat to fish just 3 rods but the boat needed a run and I fancied a crack at an inshore wreck I know fishes well in the weather that was forecast.
The fishing started pretty quick on the flood tide. Biggest pollock went 13lb 10oz to Paul Cashmore. Biggest bass was estimated at 4.5 - 5lb caught by me and was the first fish on the #Shimano Beastmaster 20/30, my Top Skipper prize from the Torbay Fishing Festival. Both hooked onto a Sidewinder Lures
Come lunchtime we had decent fish caught most drifts and 3 bonus small Bass to add to the fun.
With the tide turned and the wind increasing together, the fishing soon slowed slightly. We’d all had a fantastic morning fishing so I pointed the OUR JOE-L for the river dart and was alongside filleting the pollock by 2:30.
If only everyday was as easy as that >20mile round trip, life of a charter skipper would be so much easier.
Next trip planned for Monday 18th November.
Bookings now being taken for 2020 Fishing Holidays and Charters.

Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3
After a prolonged period of bad weather we are having fantastic catches of Plaice with some anglers catching up to 40 a day, the size is very random with medium and small fish coming on the same trace. The best we have had in the last few days may just touch the 3lb mark but definitely no bigger they are in excellent condition and punch well above their weight with many anglers thinking they have a much larger fish only to be surprised by the actual size of the fish. The winter Whiting have started to appear along with plenty of boot lace congers.
