Report on-board Flamer IV
A Brill time was had by all on the latest Flatty Trip on Flamer IV. The successful rigs were two hook flowing traces with size 4/0 Sakuma Stinger hooks baited with Mackerel strip or Launce Fillet. A special mention for Graham Broach from Plymouth on his first trip aboard Flamer IV and a Turbot and Brill virgin, he caught one of each weighing 15Ib 13oz and 3Ib 5oz respectfully and was well pleased to say the least.
Pictured are David Gibson 13Ib 4oz Turbot and Graham Broach 15Ib 13oz Turbot both fish were caught on the same drift.
FLATTY TRIPS - the next flatty trips with places available are on June 3rd, 16th, 22nd, 23rd, July 16th.

Report on-board Optimist
May has now well and truly arrived and the fishing is excellent, still no sign of Mackerel in quantity but the there are a few around close to the shore, on the wrecks we have been catching some lovely Pollack and a few Pouting and some silver Whiting and surprisingly the inshore wrecks are fishing very well. On the banks we have had some great trips with some nice Plaice coming aboard, we have also boated Brill and Turbot both nice to see in our part of the world with Launce for bait being caught on the edge of the banks. Bait wise Lures are still working well on the wrecks whilst on the banks we have been experimenting as well as the usual Ragworm and Squid, Mackerel and Launce, Black Lug seems to working well as does Garlic Prawn, even Chilli Prawn has brought Plaice to the boat and as you would expect at this time of year Cuttle works well.
So if you want a great days fishing at a reasonable cost with some like minded people give us a call and look forward to a good day aboard Optimist View Boats Page

Report on-board Just Fishing
Apologies for a gap in my fishing reports but they will now be updated often........
Its been a really mixed bag onboard " Just Fishing ". Us along with many others have been hampered by the winds which has meant we have lost a fair few days out.
Fishing the Skerries banks have produced quite a few different species. The Plaice are not yet in great numbers but the ones that have been caught are a nice size. On the deep Gullies we have had plenty of Blonde Ray, one of which was easily pushing late twenties to thirty pound, but unfortunately due to another line being tangled round the hook it snapped off on the surface just before being netted, it gave a great fight though for boat regular Pete Flavell who struggled to get it off the bottom even with his 50lb rod outfit... Shame we didnt boat it but then thats fishing!
On the roughs we've seen some great action targeting Smoothounds and Huss and have also had some Thornback Ray taking the baits......
Out on the wrecks ....as i have said we have lost plenty of days so far this year due to strong winds, the days we have managed to get out have still seen some nice sized Pollock and some very nice Whiting of 3lb plus also now the Cod are starting to show which im hoping will be on par with last years Cod run.
We're looking forward to be targeting the Ling again on the smaller tides, something which we have missed out on so far this year due to weather and charters targeting other species so be sure to check out our website for dates ect...
Also now the water is warming up we will soon be targeting Black Bream which im looking forward to.
Also we are now running our Reef and Roughs trips regularly which will target Pollock,Cod,Ling,Bass and even John Dory, at £50pp for 9hrs its a great price for a day out.
Look forward to seeing you onboard "Just Fishing" out from Brixham soon.

Report on-board Flamer IV
Dave Metcalf and his friends from Sussex enjoyed a two day Angling Break on Flamer IV and had two days fishing Banks catching Blonde Rays,Spurdogs, Tope and Brill, all the fish were returned. Pictured is John Arnold who caught the biggest Blonde Ray on Day 2/ a Ray weighing 20Ib 15oz. The successful bait was squid and mackerel cocktail presented on a pennel rig of Sakuma Manta hooks.
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 Philip Higgins

Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3
The weaker tides along allowed boats to venture out to the deeper marks but we choose to go hunting the bigger bream off the Purbecks which in hindsight was not a good move as we were catching Bream in good numbers before we decided to go for the big fish, we anchored a usually prolific mark off of Dancing Ledge only to catch small Bream, dogfish etc the only good fish we had was a 13lb 4ozs Starry Smoothhound for Mike Lee a new PB. The next couple of trips produced many Bream for the anglers who missed many more as the fish were not in a feeding mood. to the credit of the anglers 95% of the catch was returned. I have plenty of individual trips coming up for Bream and Cod trips so please call for more info

Report on-board Just Mary
Hi All, to keep this short and sweet this weekend on a 3 hour Stag Party trip from Swanage we had seven Novices on Saturday. Everyone landed a selection of fish including two Double figure Undulate Rays, both female as the bigger fish always are, two Spotted Rays, Numerous Doggies, some good Smoothound, a 3lb Bass that was returned and Bream. Everyone caught so everyone happy ! On Sunday despite the forecast being 'a bit off' with more Sea and wind than expected we stuck with Plan A and went three miles South of the Jurassic Coast. A group of ten Singles/Individuals landed Double figure Undulates and Smoothounds plus Tope. Also Doggies, Bream, Gurnard and a small Conger. No fresh Mackerel so all on frozen or Calamari or Ragworm as bait. My latest Star is Gabrielius who is only 8 years old who pulled up a 14lb male Undulate from 120 feet with much encouragement from all onboard. He was fishing with his Dad Arturas and a party of Lithuanian friends from London, East 17 and was brilliant all day in his efforts to land fish. Only get limited opportunities to fish these good Neap tides and we took it with both hands. Everyone did well in the conditions and we managed some 'Personal best' fish with the London party on Hire Rods. Thanks to All onboard and see You All again soon, All the Best, Malc, 'Just Mary', Poole, Dorset.
