Fishing Report by Lewis hodder
on Pegasus (Lyme Regis, Dorset)
Mar 2018 by Lewis hodder
Report on-board Pegasus
The first 3 weeks of March were a complete right off to the weather for us, we didn't get out until the 21st!
On the Inshore grounds we are still seeing lots of good sized Whiting, the Pollack have shown up on the reefs and we have managed a few double figure fish the best being just shy of 13lb. Other than Whiting at anchor there are lots of Bull Huss into double figures, conger, the odd early smoothound and a few thornback rays, on a recent species comp we managed 12 species which isn't bad for March.
The wrecking continues to be good when we can get out there with lots of double figure pollack coming to the net with the odd Ling and early Cod showing.
Lets hope the weather improves going into April! View Boats Page

Report on-board Wild Frontier 2
Every now and then you get the perfect fishing day. One of mine was on 21/03/2018 on the one and only Wild Frontier. It was a beautiful sunny day with Weymouth Bay being mill pond flat calm. Clem sped off to one of his favoured Western wrecks.. Two and bit hours later we started fishing; first drift, two decent pollack. I was at the front starboard side of the oat with my work colleague and mate next to me. Over the next five or so hours, I caught 13 pollack between 5 and 13 lbs and my mate Dave caught 11. I also caught a bonus cod as well as another club member who caught a bigger cod. The sea state remained flat calm until home time, when the breeze picked up a bit. For most of the day I used a 6" yellowish lure with a straight tail (no paddle). Great day, great company, great result. Thanks Clem

Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3
At last we managed to get a few days afloat and the fishing proved very rewarding, on the Saturday we ventured out to the wrecks in what was very challenging conditions far worse than forecast but once there the Pollack fishing was very good with several fish being landed each drift the best of the day went to Ian Napier at 14lb 6 ozs, after a few hrs and plenty of Pollack onboard we chose to head back inshore and see if the Spurdogs were still around. At anchor the fishing started very slow but just as we thought about heading home the Spurdogs started to feed and several fish between 17 and 20lb were landed and quickly returned then that man Ian Napier hooked into a good fish that put his light gear to the test and was rewarded with a PB Spurdog of 24lb 10ozs. Sunday we opted to go after the Spurs again and were duly rewarded with 4 of the Poole Dolphins AC landing PB Spurdogs to 19lb along with a few Rays, spurred on (pardon the pun) by our recent success the crew on Monday wanted to sample the sport and we again headed out to the same area and again were rewarded with more success and another 2 anglers setting new PBs for Spurdogs , due to the very light tackle we were using the strength of the tide forced us to move closer to shore out of the tide and once at anchor we managed a small Turbot and a Brill to round the day off. Overall a very successful weekend and it felt fantastic to actual be at sea fishing instead of looking at weather patterns.

Report on-board Flamer IV
At last managed to get a weekend out fishing. The first day we went wrecking and caught Pollack and Ling on a variety of lures and also caught the first Mackerel of the year on a jelly worm.
My Next Wrecking Trips with places available is on April 25th, Don't Miss Out, Now is the time for the Big Pollack and Ling.
The second day we fished Banks at anchor and on the drift which produced mainly Blonde Rays with Jon Trevett smashing his Personal Best by a mile with a Blonde weighing 26Ib 2oz. Pennel rigs of Sakuma Manta hooks baited with Squid and Mackerel cocktails did the trick. All the Rays were returned alive. Pictured is Jon trevett with his 26Ib 2oz Blonde Ray.
My Next Bank Trips with places available with Rays,Turbot,Brill,Spurdogs the target species are is on April 9th,Don't Miss Out.

Report on-board Supanova II
Well well well.......... It never snows in Weymouth!! Well we have had more snow this month than I have ever seen before. A sign of the times hey! The wind has been relentless this winter and has been one of the worst for a while but that's why we put our pennies aside in the summer because you never know how long the wind will blow. When we have managed to steal a day from the weather gods the fishing has been fantastic mid channel with great catches of Pollack, with a decent stamp and fish touching 18lbs. ***** SPACES WRECKING IN MARCH AND APRIL 28TH MARCH, 2ND, 6TH, 11TH, 26TH APRIL*****
Thanks to all that have ventured down often short notice to make the most of the weather.
Tight Lines,

Report on-board Silver Spray II
With all the wind, rain and snow we have been having over the last month this is going to be a brief report. We have managed 4 days afloat since mid February, thankfully the quality of the fishing has more than made up for the lack of opportunities to get out there. We have focused our efforts on the wrecks mid channel and that has paid off with good numbers and some quality fish making appearances. Biggest so far is around the 15lb mark with average sat at about 8lb, a key ingredient for success seems to be a very long trace sometimes as much as 15 feet. We managed to beat one of our longest standing boat records in early March as Pete Knight battled a 9lb 8oz coalfish to the surface. The record has been at 6lb ever since Silver Spray 1's first trip to Alderney in 2006. Elsewhere we did have a couple of hours on the spurs whilst doing some filleting one day and they are still on the grounds in abundance with a few blonde rays thrown in for good measure. Over the next month we shall see the arrival of the flatfish on the banks and the bream on the reef grounds.
