WRECK TRIP
My latest Wrecking trip saw the morning session produce only a few Pollack after trying several wrecks how ever in the afternoon it all bucked up with a change of tide and on one particular wreck a good catch of Pollack and some Bass was put together producing some smiles on the anglers faces.White lures seemed to be the best colour on the day. Pictured is Ian Nash with his 5Ib Bass.
My next Wreck trips with places available are on November 3rd, 11th, these will be my last wreck trips of 2018, I will start wreck trips again in January 2019.
NOTE: I AM NOW TAKING BOOKINGS FOR 2019 -
There is now an Itinerary of trips for 2019 on all my web sites, take a LOOK, the itinerary is not set in stone so I may be able to change it to suit your needs subject to the tides.

Fishing Report by Matt Forrester
on Silver Halo (Torquay, Devon)
6 Oct 2018 by Matt Forrester
Report on-board Silver Halo
Due to annual leave and maintainance Silverhalo only ran 1 trip throughout September.....it was a cracking trip though, with several good bass being caught including an impressive 12lber going to Steve on his first ever bassing trip!
As I write this, at the end of the first week in Oct, the great bass fishing has continued with many more great fish coming over the gunnels.
The next 4 to 6 weeks could see the new boat record being broken again!!! Will it be you? Please get intouch to book your slot and a realistic chance of a double figure bass.
Dont forget I offer many other types of trip including sharks and the porgies are now moving in! View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Scott Shepherd
on Atlantic Blue (Minehead, Somerset)
22 Sep 2018 by Scott Shepherd
Report on-board Atlantic Blue
With a one day break in the wind, we would manage to get out for a bit of fishing. The problem today would prove to be the rain as it rained all day and really dampened the spirits.
Nonetheless, it would be a day filled with banter meeting a bunch of lads who haven't fished on the boat for a couple of years for the first time but who would prove to be a great bunch of lads. Fishing the local marks for rays, congers, huss and other species was the plan and one which went as well as could be hoped. The fishing wouldn't prove to be tearing, but it would be steady and the guy who wanted some dogfish to take home would be happy with 5 nice ones to take away!
Despite the weather, we would manage some congers, huss, dogfish and a small, but welcome, Blonde Ray of around 8lb. Chatting in the pub afterwards, the lads all stated that they had enjoyed their day and that they are usually luckier with the weather so are keen to book up some trips for next year including, hopefully, a trip down to fish around Lundy.
Thanks lads for a great day despite the weather and I look forward to seeing you all again soon! View Boats Page

on Atlantic Blue (Minehead, Somerset)

Report on-board Atlantic Blue
Monday 24th September 2018 saw us heading out to try some marks further down channel than we had ventured before. We started off anchored up on a mark in between three of the other boats out of Minehead that day catching dogfish. With mostly fish baits and a few cocktail baits on board, we managed a couple of small Bull Huss in amongst the dogfish. As we lost the tide in close, we headed for the Ivy Stone for more Bull Huss and Dogfish. Having been pestered by small bites on larger baits, Roy Sparks switched to a flapper rig with smaller hooks and managed to land a 3-Bearded Rockling of 2lb 10oz for a new boat record, well done, Roy!
As we lost the tide there, I decided to head for a mark that the late Arthur Talbot showed me a few years ago and from where we have had some big fish including Tope, Congers, Smoothound and Bull Huss. We got there right at the end of the ebb tide and we swinging around from the off. As the tide held us more or less straight, we started catching fish. We had a few small congers and dogfish before Pete Austin's rod would bend into something a bit better that he and I both hoped would be a Bull Huss. When the fish hit the surface, it wasn't just a Bull Huss, it was a big Bull Huss that tipped the scales, witnessed by another angler, at 16lb 4oz and would set a new boat record. What was even better for me was that my best mate had finally, after 33 years of trying, beaten his personal best Bull Huss and set himself a difficult, but not impossible, target to beat.
A short while later, Roy Sparks would be in the action again, this time with a dogfish. As I can hear the sighs of disappointment, I would like to point out that this fish of 2lb 6oz sets a new boat record that took us to 3 new boat records for the day!
We headed back up channel to try for some rays before heading for home but, alas, the rays would prove elusive and all we would manage would be a few more baby tope, dogfish, huss and congers. As I headed the boat for the harbour, we were all satisfied that it had been a brilliant day and that they all wanted to come again soon and try to beat some more personal bests and boat records.
Pete remarked to me as we rounded the end of the harbour that he has done 4 trips with me this year and has landed specimen fish on every one. He's had 3 Small-Eyed Rays over 12lbs, a Bull Huss of 16lb 4oz and Smoothounds to around 14-15lb (all of which were returned to fight another day!). Proof that you can't keep a good angler down and that I can, on my days, find the fish! View Boats Page
