Report on-board Pegasus
February 2019
We managed to get out 11 days in February which isn't too bad at all, Inshore fishing has been getting better, we've had a great winter inshore, and now that the water temp is on its way up again the spring species seem to be feeding better with lots of Smoothounds in small to medium size range being caught in the later half of February, this along with 4 different species of Ray, Bull Huss, Conger, Whiting, Ballan and Cuckoo wrasse and the obligatory Pout and Dogfish make for a god fun days fishing inshore and has made for some very entertaining species fishing, the Reef Pollack are getting to a decent size now as well with fish over 10lb being caught on the inshore reefs in the last week of February, great fun on light gear. The fishing Offshore and to the east at anchor has been steady with Blonde Rays being caught over 20lb on the banks, the odd Spurdog, Ling and Undulate Ray and lots of Huss and Conger on the rough ground and reefs. Wrecking also improved a lot mid February, but a visit from the netters slowed the fishing down toward the end of the month although I still managed to find enough fish to keep everyone happy but nothing big with the best Pollack of the month at 13lb.
There are still weekend individuals spaces on a few dates in March, mostly offshore anchored trips.

Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3
Stunning Spurdog weather
Yesterday was one of the best February days I have ever had at sea, the weather was superb with flat calm seas and beautiful sunshine, we ventured out to fish for Spurdogs enjoying the smooth journey. We arrived just as the ebb tide was easing and once at anchor were quickly into small eels and the odd Spur as the tide eased and we thought it should get better the bites stopped completely as though a switch had been turned off, my colleagues to the west were still catching so a move was in order, as we were steaming I noticed a few contour lines on the chartplotter ahead of us so I slowed and came across a bank I had never fished before which was showing plenty of life. We set the anchor and started fishing which proved slow just as we were thinking of moving the fish gods turned the switch back on and all hell broke loose with spurs everywhere and the sizes were awesome with a total of 39 spurs landed and 30 of them over the Wessex specimen size the best falling to James at 23lb 4ozs.
In amongst the Spurs were some nice size Tope around the 30lb mark and a few straps. In all considering it is February and 18 degrees warmer than this time last year we had an excellent day including getting a bit of an early tan as a bonus. View Boats Page

on Spot On! (Brixham, Devon)

Report on-board Spot On!
Spot On has had her scrub and clean and 'NEW' coding complete and it was back to work straight after.
With the wrecking difficult earlier this year it was great to get back out for another go and what a day we had.
Plenty of prime double figure pollock hitting the net from the off with every drift.
This is what this time of year is all about on the south coast and is simply some of the best fishing you can experience in the UK.
A bonus 12lb 4oz bass for local angler Alan which took a sidewinder lure.
A new PB for him and what a start to 2019 that's for sure.
Bass safely returned.
Big thanks to boat sponsors sidewinder lures and Top Rigs for there support.
Spot On has a busy year planned and new ventures lay ahead.

THE FLAMER IV POLLACK COMPETITION - took place in some lovely weather. The fishing was very poor in the morning but after trying several wrecks, at 11.50 it was like a switch had been turned on and the first Pollack came aboard caught by Keith Williams a steady catch of Pollack followed for the next two hours with Neil Cornelius leading the way with a 9Ib 8oz fish, as the tide eased we then moved to another wreck and the two best Pollack of the day were caught there along with a few others. The best lure of the day was certainly the Bubble Gum Pink Red Gill.

on Silver Spray II (Poole, Dorset)
Feb 2019 by Sam Cumming
Report on-board Silver Spray II
Although it’s usually our quietest period of the year we still manage a few trips out in late January/ early February. The offshore banks are starting to hot up with plenty of spur dogs, nothing monstrous yet, fish up to about 20lb so far, but I’m sure we will get a few bigger ones on the neap tides in March. We have also had a very good start to the year with rays of all different varieties, always welcome to get a good bend in the rod. As February pushes on we will mostly see blonde rays and a few undulates until the water warms up. We have snuck in our first wreck trip early this year and were rewarded with some fat spring Pollack up to 13lb. As seems to be quite common at this time of year we had a nice visit from a large pod of dolphins half way through the day which really is an amazing sight. The video of this encounter is on our Facebook page. Over the next month we will be mostly wreck fishing with a few days on the banks for spurs here and there.
