    Great trip as always, first decent Coalfish I've had in nearly 20 years! Great piece of boatwork to retrieve it when it fell off the hook! Ross worked hard all day to keep us in the fish and we are looking forward to our trip later in the year. Many thanks again Ross, Mike and Brian

    Report on-board Meerkat

    MARCH FISHING

    At last some nice weather in Weymouth for us to be able to get out on the wrecks/ Inshore fishing.

    The fishing on the wrecks has been amazing at times, some days a bit of a struggle but still being a reasonable amount of fish with some crackers coming aboard, biggest this year so far being 19lb 8ozs Pollock falling to Alan Shepard from Minehead.
    Pete Huznyl from Coventry also had a fish of a life time in March with his John Dory weighing 6lb 12ozs what is also the new boat recorded. (pictured)

    INSHORE FISHING

    The big fish fishing has been steady with some big specimen Rays/ Spurdogs coming in. Hopefully soon to be followed by the Undulate Rays, they has been a few coming in off the shore now so wont be long and all you Undulate virgin can come out and catch one of these stunning Rays.

    Shambles isn't on fire at all but there are fish showing with an average of 6/8 fish a day, but all you Turbot chasers know its only that one big fish what makes it all worth it.

    Fingers crossed the weather continues to be nice through out the year and we get to see you all again.
    Thank you for all coming to Weymouth and making it down here for the nice weather.

    If you would like to be on my last Minute texting group please send me a email with your name and number and i'll add you to it.

    Tight lines

    Report on-board Optimist

    April 5th, a great days fishing on the Skerries Bank with a variety of species coming aboard and as usual a few surprises. There were Plaice although not plentiful they were still of a reasonable size, Blonde Ray made an appearance with the usual fight to get it aboard. We also had Launce for bait on the banks edge with Herring and Silver Whiting. The biggest surprise of the day was line caught Spider crab of a good size brought aboard by Matt Crisp from the midlands not once, not twice but three times the third one returned as it was a berried hen he now proudly boasts the title of "Spiderman" Once again the Skerries Bank produces a great days fishing with a twist, sadly towards the end of the session the wind gained in strength and made the last hour rather uncomfortable but due to its direction made for a speedy ride home. Why not join us for the day and be the one to boat yet another surprise species that is all in a day's fishing on Optimis
