Pictured is a 14Ib 3oz Cod caught by Colin Gardiner on a recent Wrecking Trip. A variety of lures were used while drifting over the Wrecks and the Black and Pink and Blue and White Red Gills and Rhubarb and Custard Sidewinders proving to be the best on the day to catch the Cod.

Fishing Report by Philip Higgins
on Mistress Linda / San Gina3 (Poole, Dorset)
29 May 2016 by Philip Higgins
Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3
This week has seen the full spectrum for a charter skipper, to start the week we had plenty of small to medium sized bream and lots of Small Eyed Ray's. The inshore fishing was very good then came the decision to go offshore chasing the Cod and Pollack which proved illusive we tried several wrecks and a couple of 'banker' marks (always get a fish spots) we still had poor results but as the day progressed we did grind out enough fish to make it a reasonable trip thankfully the weather was great and the spirits were up. Today we choose to fish inshore for big bream which in the strong winds proved challenging to anchor the spot, thankfully we were into fish quickly with bream up to 3lb 4ozs coming aboard. The fishing was not fast and furious but the quality of fish being landed certainly made up for that. Again the weather was fantastic and added to a great days fishing.

on Flamer IV (Weymouth, Dorset)

Report on-board Flamer IV
Peter Chillingworth and crew joined Flamer IV for a two day Angling Break and did a day's Reef/Bank fishing catching Black Bream, Rays etc on day one and on day two went Wrecking and caught Pollack and Cod along with some Bass which of course under the current EU rules all had to be returned. The disturbing fact was that only half the Bass returned swam away to be caught no doubt by a commercial vessel who can keep them, the rest floated away dead as they did Not recover coming up form a depth of 140 feet. What a waste, So much for conservation. Pictured Is Ian Wright with a 10Ib 9oz Cod he caught on a Red Gill Lure.
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 Obsession (Mevagissey, Cornwall)

Report on-board Obsession
Sunday 22nd,may saw Obsession offshore on the hunt for cod,with a right good bunch of chaps on the boat, and from the get go the micky taking was on top form which helped pass the time on the way to our first wreck. We had the ( bristol massive) on the port side of the boat and the (watchet wonders) on the starboard side and the (bridgwater boy's) on the stern.. It was not long and the first fish was on the deck, a good size pollock, with the tide dropping off the cod came On the feed with some nice double figer fish coming to the net.before long the tide was picking up and the pollock were back on, with speed jigs with big feathers taking some cracking fish, but. Sidewinder lures bagging the most fish without a doubt the new skerries eel lure was the top catcher by far and the rattall back's second. Before long it was time to head home, so we hope to see you on the next trip. If you want to book a place on Brixhams newest edition to the charter fleet and join OBSESSION, the massive 40ft charter boat then please call or text kev on 07964053347

Fishing Report by Sam Cumming
on Silver Spray II (Poole, Dorset)

Report on-board Silver Spray II
Our first trip to Alderney went smoothly, although the forecast wasn't great for 2 of the days this was one occasion that we were happy the weather man was wrong as the wind got up to nothing more than a breeze. The fishing followed suit with two enjoyable days on the banks targeting the flatfish, we were glad we took some frozen mackerel as the bait fishing could only be described as slow. A big thank you to Mark Harding from Alderney Angling for all the hard work he puts in behind the scenes to make these trips such a nice experience for the anglers. The turbot fishing our side of the channel has also been ticking over nicely with Chris Stride boating our biggest of the year so far at 12lb. Fishing in Poole bay for the bream has continued to produce great days out. One or two fish around the 3lb 8oz mark are now starting to show along with plenty of smaller fish to keep the rod tips bouncing which are returned for another day. Finally it's off to the wrecks as we have seen the first of the cod and ling landed as the pollock thin out slightly. A bigger stamp than last year seems to be dotted around with our average size being around 10lb, enough to give a cracking fight on that light gear. Special mention goes to 10 year old Finley Palmer who showed the older lads how it's done with a 13lb cod on his 12-20 suveran along with a few pollock.

Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3
Poole Bream Comp was won by D Lynes and top charter boat went to Mistress Linda, the Bream fishing was fantastic with lots of good size fish being landed the best of the day onboard going to Brian Moss with a fish of 2lb 11ozs, he thought he had a bigger fish but was surprized to see 3 bream on his rig weighing a total of 5lb 11ozs, Steve Collins landed a new PB bream of 2lb 10ozs and an Undulate of 15lb which was difficult on light gear in the tide. Apart from a short spell in the height of the tide fishing continued all day with Brian Moss setting the pace for the rest to follow. The week ahead looks settled and with the bream fishing being so good take the opportunity and join us for a day on the Bream.
all the best

Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3
Yesterday we spent the day doing a species hunt although the conditions were far from ideal, Steve Batchelor and Colin Searles and Chris Colledge bagged 17 species including some quality Common and Starry Smoothhounds. The bream fishing was very good at anchor although on the small to medium size they just kept coming. With the Poole Species Comp looming it is a great time to get some practice in trying out new rigs and bait combo's.
To arrange a day afloat give me a call.
