  • 06/2018 Fishing Report by Nigel Lihou on Optimist (Brixham, Devon)

    Jun 2018 by Nigel Lihou

    Report on-board Optimist

    What a month it has been for Optimist here in Brixham. Back in April the Turbo went on the Engine and decisions need to be made; spend more on the Engine or source a replacement. The latter proved to be the way forward and after several abortive chases around the south coast and a wanted ad in FAFB we found a replacement in Jersey. This was taken out of the fishing boat it was in in Guernsey and shipped to Poole. A day out to Poole to collect then 2 weeks hard work to remove the old Engine and fit the New and we were up and running and a little bit more economical.
    Back on the fishing and half day trips to the inshore wrecks were producing some nice sized Pouting and a Pollack, with the occasional Whiting. Full days have been spent on the Skerries hunting Plaice and Ray which this year is proving a little harder but when we hit them they are relatively plump specimens.
    A pre booked party down for a week's fishing from Lancashire tested our fish finding abilities as the week they were here the wind forecast was Easterlies all week, (Brixham although on the South coast faces East) We managed to get round Start to Lannacombe for a day on the rough ground returning via the Skerries and a couple of days on the Inshore wrecks one day being cancelled due to the swell. The last day was a lumpy ride round to the mouth of the river dart sheltered from the East, and a couple of productive marks one producing Bull Huss up to 9.5lb as pictured with Bob one of the guys from Morecombe.
    We continue to put you on the fish with a variety of species available on the Wrecks, Banks, reefs and marks that we have within a reasonable distance from Brixham, the mother port of Fishing.

    Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3

    Apologies for the long gap in reports, all of my attention lately has been focused on the proposed MCZs that could affect fishing in my area. Just a quick catch up with more to follow soon
    What a spell of weather we are having with blue skies and calm seas, off to sea there are plenty of Tope and good size Bull Huss to play with, we seemed to be pestered with small strap eels as well which bodes well for the future. Closer to home some excellent Plaice have been landed along with plenty of Gurnards and pesky little bait robbing Bream.
    Back soon

    Report on-board Flamer IV

    The Reef/Bank fishing has seen plenty of Tope,Congers,Bream, Rays caught and in particular some excellent Undulate Rays with many anglers catching and or breaking their personal bests. Squid, Mackerel baits presented on Sakuma Manta hooks on pennel or single hook traces have proved to be the best . Pictured is Paul Milkins with his 15Ib 4oz Undulate Ray which is a new Personal Best. Paul also caught a bonus 6Ib 4oz Turbot which he gave to the skipper.
