Report on-board Wild Frontier 2
**Channel Island Season is here**
A typical trip to the Channel Islands will be 4 or 5 days long. We leave Weymouth and head to the wrecks in the Channel. Evenings are spent ashore in the great little bars and restaurants of the island and crashing out in an island B+B - although great self catering options are available. Depending on the time of year, we explore the grounds around Alderney and Guernsey during the days.
All fish is kept fresh and in great condition on ice in our purpose built fish hold. We skilfully fillet all catch for table on the journey home to Weymouth.
We have availability for our September trip - the 11th to the 14th inclusive and would love to welcome you!

While other anglers Flounder, Flamer IV anglers are happy Soles and a Dab hand at catching Plaice. A drifting session with ragworm, prawn and squid strip baits produced Plaice ranging from 2Ib 8oz to 4Ib 14oz. Rick Hawkins landing the biggest weighing in at 4Ib 14oz which is the best Plaice landed on Flamer IV this year and is pictured.Rick won a Flamer IV Catch of the day trophy for his flatty.
LOOK - Since the unfortunate demise of the mussel beds I have been trying out different areas looking for Plaice and have had some reasonable success with Plaice up to 5Ib 13oz and again this year I am doing the same and have had Plaice generally ranging from 2Ib to 4Ib 14oz.
ON JUNE 14th 2017 I am going to do a Plaice trip trying the marks/areas I have found and may be look and try some new areas. If you would like to come along on this trip then please contact me a.s.a.p.

(Pictured are Stephan and Bryan with their trophies.
Weymouth Angling Breaks
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.

Fishing Report by Ross Parham
on Spot On! (Brixham, Devon)

Report on-board Spot On!
April and May have turned out to be a great months weather wise and has enabled 'Spot On' to get in some great fishing on the mid channel wrecks which have produced some great catches in the shape of Pollock, Ling, cod, coalfish, whiting, pouting, bass, conger eels and tub gurnards.
The skerries bank has been very slow in producing plaice but when anchored in the correct spots it has produced some great ray fishing with Blonde Ray's being the most productive, other Ray's have included spotted and small eyed Ray's.
The first trip to Guernsey in the middle of May saw a 4 day trip consisting of plenty of cod and pollock on the crossing along with some good action on the banks, topped off with some large black bream fishing.
Species landed on this trip was: cod, pollock, Ling, coalfish, pouting, ballan wrasse, turbot, brill, blonde ray, dogfish, tub gurnard, red gurnard, mackerel, Sandeel, black bream.
Top lures have been sidewinder black and pink taking plenty of fish. 1 cod came to an old sidewinder that a guy has had in his box for years! Just goes to show these lures last the test of time!
Top rigs bream and conger/Ling traces have worked very well and have been used in great success.
Thanks again for my sponsors.
Taking bookings for 2018!!! Get in quick!

Fishing Report by Philip Higgins
on Mistress Linda / San Gina3 (Poole, Dorset)
21 May 2017 by Philip Higgins
Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3
Bream continue to dominate the inshore fishing with lots of good catches being reported. Today’s angler is far more conservation minded and return many more than they take for the table which ensures future stocks and the sport of this wonderful fishery. Unfortunately a large pod of Dolphins arrived which is wonderful to witness when they swim with the boat and jump out of the water but devastating to the fishing. During a club match with coincidentally Poole Dolphins SAC on board we were enjoying very good fishing until a large pod of Dolphins swam by and put the fish down, after a quiet spell the fish came back on the feed.
Chris Bowden landed a cracking Smoothhound weighing in at 14lb 4ozs whilst bream fishing using very light tackle, the fish had the upper hand for the 1st 5 minutes making several good runs and taking Chris all around the boat eventually Chris gained control and landed the fish, his bait was a tiny squid strip presented on a size 6 circle hook and 12lb line.
The Plaice fishing has not been as consistent as last month with catches varying from 46 one day to 3 the next, severe weed in the Swash has hampered the fishing. Along the shores and between the Piers has seen some of the better quality fish coming in along with a few Turbot and Gurnards, Melanie Burgess landed her 1st Plaice during a short afternoon family trip which saw lots more come aboard and her beating her brother (the fishermen) who was not amused.
Wreck fishing has taken a slight dip in catch rates but still is producing Pollack and a few Cod, we are now coming into the prime time for wreck Cod so catches and quality will improve.
The next few months see the best of the inshore fishing where lots of species will be caught and hopefully a few surprize ones will also hit the headlines. Last weekend we fished off the St Albans area and found some nice Bull Huss and a few Tope before returning to Poole Bay to catch more Bream View Boats Page
