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.

July has bee a turn around month with the start of July wrecking still producing good quality and plenty of numbers of cod and Pollock,
Sessions at anchor have produced the first big wreck bream, eels and ling.
Ling have been in numbers also but towards the end of July the mackerel have arrived and the cod and Pollock fishing has all but disappeared, luckily with enough easy bait its been good sessions for ling and eel.

What can we say about June!
The cod fishing again has been amazing and long may it continue, some big summer Pollock also still around.
Guernsey banks have produced turbot, brill and lots of black bream, we are still awaiting the arrival of mackerel in numbers though so finding bait is hard.

Fishing over the past week onboard "Just Fishing" of Brixham has been a real mixed bag.... Out on the Wrecks the action had slowed up a tad with the fish not playing ball despite plenty of sign on the sounder. We have managed Pollock and a few Cod but really has been hit and miss and frequent moves to various wrecks, hopefully things will start to pick up again.......
On the Banks fishing has slowly been improving with more Plaice being caught now and better sizes along with the odd Dab here and there and Brill. After months of struggling to get Mackerel they are now well and truly here again and in great numbers, almost being pests on the banks as they're taking baits intended for Flatties.

This weekend gone saw "Just Fishing" of Brixham hitting the deeps in search for hard fighting Ling.( A personal favourite of mine)
The Weather was great,the tides were great but were the fish playing ball?
For the first drifts we used lures as there was a bit of tide running and it wasn't long until the first rod was bent over, however as the fish surfaced it was a small Conger which was a surprise as it had taken a white and blue Sidewinder..
The first hour or so wasn't very productive with just some small Pollock and Pout taking the lures, there was plenty of sign on the wreck so Simon the Skipper tried a
mackerel flapper and Landed the first Ling of the day, after that the Ling were clearly on the feed and they were coming onboard along with the odd Conger.
After a couple of hours and Ling up to 22lb the fishing tailed off and a move to another Wreck was on the cards and with the tide starting to run again it was back to lures. The first drift on the this wreck produced some Pollock and the best Ling of the day a stonking 28lber caught by Eddy on an all orange Sidewinder.
All in all a great days Fishing and a fantastic bunch of Lads onboard.

What a start to July for "Just Fishing" of Brixham.
Wrecking seems to be carrying on where June left off with Plenty of hard fighting summer Pollock.
The Cod numbers are also getting better. A Few large fish were also lost today with several Anglers getting busted up......
The Pollock and Cod are coming up on a wide range of coloured Lures however Pink did seem to have the edge today.
Dont forget we have Conger and Bream trips coming up this month as well as Bassing trips,Reefing trips, Ray trips and Skerries trips... Something for everyone!

Report on-board Optimist
Fish over the last month: - The Skerries are still producing some good fish along with the Plaice and Ray's we are seeing Turbot and Brill and even the Gurnards have started to appear. Out on the wrecks things are a bit hit and miss at the moment with Pollock still around but smaller in size and quantity we have also seen Ling and pout although no Bass yet but due to the regulations we have not as yet been targeting them. Inshore things are much as they have been for most of the year with mackerel still scarce and very tide dependant. We still have plenty availability for the rest of the year with some good fishing out Brixham

Fishing has been fanatic today onboard "Just Fishing" of Brixham.
The first Wreck we went over showed real sign it was holding alot of fish and from the 2nd drift plenty of plump summer Pollock were coming to net, also some Cod but once the tide started running it was the Pollock that was giving the rod bending sport drift after drift, there were moments it got manic onboard as so many fish were coming up at the same time.
By early afternoon the Lads said they had caught more than enough fish and wanted to head in which is always a great to hear
Probably the last day Wrecking we'll squeeze in now this month as the wind forcast dosn't look promising but cant wait toget back out there!
