Fishing Report by Sam Cumming
on Silver Spray II (Poole, Dorset)
Sep 2016 by Sam Cumming
Report on-board Silver Spray II
As I write this particular monthly report I've just finished a trip which saw bass, tope, pollock, turbot and congers all in one day; a testament to the variety of species available at the moment. Although the fishing at anchor inshore has slowed up slightly, fishing on the drift is keeping us busy with good numbers of plaice on the light gear with many other species such as red mullet, dabs, smoothound, bream and gurnard as well. The last spring tide saw one of our best bass trips this year so far, with plenty of fish for the table and fish being returned too. Since the mackerel have moved on we have been using lures which means we get at least an hour extra on the banks as we don’t have to mess around with the live bait. Long distance the wrecks are producing some quality ling, the biggest so far going to Bob Morrison at 23lb. The cod and pollock are thin on the ground so the best fishing is at anchor with good numbers of tope and bream on show. By the time I write next month's report I will probably have done the first winter cod trip of the season.

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.

on Spot On! (Brixham, Devon)
Sep 2016 by Ross Parham
Report on-board Spot On!
The start of September has been hit and miss with the weather but session on the skerries bank both for plaice and rays have proved to produce some good action at times.
Offshore the wrecking is still good with ling and bream with Pollock on the drifts.
A few more trips planned across to Guernsey to complete the island trips for this year in September so I am looking forward to seeing what's about over there still.
Sharking has been good with plenty of blues around this year and even porbeagles hanging around the boat to snatch any helpless pout on there way up.
Spot On yet again managed some great results in this years Torbay festival taking several prizes for its anglers.
Big thanks to Sidewinder and Top Rigs for there continued support and with skerries eels and rattlebacks continuing to do the business on the wrecks I hope they continue to keep catching the fish.
Pictured is Paul Whiting with his superb 22lb blonde ray. View Boats Page

Report on-board Spot On!
August has proving to be hard work on the wrecks with cod now all but gone and only small Pollock left but yet again its been sessions at anchor that have seen the best action with huge black bream, nice 20lb+ ling in abundance and plenty of slimy eels to keep the rods bending.
Our first sharking trip of the year was a great success with 9 blues boated and plenty of missed runs and fish lost, biggest of the day was a cracking 109lb fish.
Pictured is Roger with his fine wreck caught black bream.
Thanks to all who continue to support Spot On and Brixham. View Boats Page
