Last week produced some brilliant Ray fishing with plenty of Undulates and Smalled Eyed Rays being caught and released. It also saw the best mackeral fishing seen for a couple of years. Tope are plentiful and great sport at the moment on light gear.

Report on-board Obsession
Well with a absolutely glorious weekend we headed down to the Skerries for a relaxing couple of days Flattie fishing and what a fantastic couple of days we had.
The Sun was out, almost no wind and the Sea was nice and clear so perfect conditions really.
Saturday seen the crew land around 30 Plaice upto about 2lb with a beautiful Undulate ray also putting in an appearance.
Sunday was a bit of a Busmans Holiday with just the 3 of us on board Colin, Kev W and Kev J enjoying a bit of sport ourselves and again between us we had around 30 Plaice with 20 keepers out of them, needless to say Colin reigned supreme and was even pulling them in 2 at a time, so a very enjoyable weekend was had.
More inshore trips planned so will keep you all updated

Report on-board Channel Warrior
We have been getting a lot of good conger fishing on the wrecks lately 40-50 off just one wreck up to 60lb. All conger caught are released. On the small tides when other fish play hard to get, the conger gives a good days sport . If you fancy having a bash at them , give me a call.

Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3
Update on my last report, after sending pics of all the Undulates landed to the Undulate Ray project for identification it proved that the same Ray was landed twice during the afternoon 1st time around 13.30 then again approximately 1 hr later and it fell to the same angler both times Albion SAC angler Allan Johanson. Check out this project and send in pics of your Undulate Rays for them to analyse.
All the best

Report on-board Just Mary
Hi All, three consecutive All Day Hire Rod Charters and three challenging days of weather in Swanage Bay, which really was THE ONLY sensible option given the big ebbing Spring tides and strong SW winds. Swanage Bay and the Purbeck Hills give us protection and less 'reach' for the power of the waves making anchoring reasonably tolerable for fishing at anchor. Three good days of fishing with EVERYONE CATCHING as usual and a variety of species including Undulate Ray, Small Eyed Ray, Spotted Ray, Bream, Gurnard, Dogs and Mackerel plus Bass including a stonking Double Figure female fish of 10lb 8oz for Paul Denton from Leamington Spa in the West Midlands. His group led by Nick Setchell christened by me as the 'Brummie Beach Boys' travelled down on Sunday morning to enjoy a day at Sea. Undulates, Dogs, Gurnard, good size Mackerel and then the whopping Bass, surely every Anglers Dream ? Paul however is not a Sea Angler, too far from WHERE HE LIVES so he prefers Carp fishing but even he was impressed by this fish. Measured at over 80cm, weighed, photos and released to breed again. Caught on hire rod gear, my traces, mackerel fillet and over a rocky mark on 'Just Mary' from Poole. For three days I fished this mark and it never let me down, had good fish here before and experience is what makes all the difference. We won ! Thanks, Malc and 'Just Mary'.

on Spot On! (Brixham, Devon)

Report on-board Spot On!
Well its safe to say since my last report the fishing has been very up and down with some days pulling my hair out to find a couple boxes of white fish and other days the fish just hectic.
we still await the arrival of cod in decent numbers and are catching them regularly now on most trips.
Some great weather over Guernsey on our last couple of trips with again fishing for flatties illusive but we did manage some fine double figured turbot and brill to 6lb 12oz, my bacon saved by the great black bream fishing over guernsey at present with fish up to 4lb.
My last trip on the skerries was disappointing with only small plaice to show for our efforts and a few rays, certainly not the numbers we should be having for this time of year, but as a 9hour trip for just £350 for the boat its just nice to wet a line on the banks I suppose.
Hopefully things will pick up soon and I look forward to the first shark fishing trips this year and maybe a tuna or 2! who knows!
More Guernsey trips planned also and bookings filling for 2018 fast so hurry if you want a date!
Many thanks to Top rigs for there great bream rigs doing the business and looking forward to trying out the new conger rigs they have made me.
Also Sidewinder for there continued support and amazing, tough, durable lures that consistently bring results.
Top colours so far this year: skerries sand eels and Jet pink.
Spot On is Brixham's only catamaran with speed, comfort and results!!

Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3
Due to the predicted strong winds our game plan changed to fish several local banks which in hindsight proved very fortuitous, after getting a good supply of fresh mackeral we anchored off Swanage and were immediately into our 1st Ray this continued until we lost the tide and started to swing around the anchor rope so a quick move into Poole Bay was needed and once settled we were again into Rays. A total of 22 were caught and returned, 16 Undulates, 5 Small Eyed and 1 small Spotted, along with a few dogs and hounds to add to the score card.
Great days fishing in challenging conditions and not a cup of tea spilt. View Boats Page

Chris,Mark, Lenny, Paul and Bruce travelled up from Plymouth for their annual 5 day Angling Break aboard Flamer IV. The Summer weather was good and they enjoyed them selves as usual and caught several species which included Turbot, Brill, Plaice, Black Bream, Bass, Pollack, Blonde Rays, Thornback Rays, Undulate Rays, Conger, Tope and many more. Bruce won the Biggest Fish and Best Specimen awards with a 40Ib Conger he also won a Flamer IV catch of the day trophy. But Lenny was the super star winning four Flamer IV catch of the day trophies. Pictured is Lenny with a 3Ib Plaice.
Weymouth Angling Breaks - Book Now, Don't miss Out,*** NOW TAKING BOOKINGS FOR 2018 ***
A few days away fishing out of Weymouth along with the social side is a nice trip to do.The variety of fishing and the amount of different species caught at Weymouth is probably second to none.There are plenty of places to stay which are angler friendly and some excellent places to wine and dine around the harbour and in Weymouth Town centre.
If you want to try a Weymouth Angling Break then contact me, I cater for whole boat charters and individuals.
Planning your trip well in advance is essential you need to arrange your boat booking and your accommodation as early as possible to avoid disappointment, some of my regular groups plan their trips at least 12 months in advance, this allows them to discuss with me the best tides for the type of fishing they are targeting.
