We enjoyed a good days fishing on the Mid-Channel Wrecks last Thursday, with Ling to 20lbs and a feisty 19lb Pollock falling for the Skipper's 'charm'!
All looking forward to our annual 'Hangover Trophy' events in between Christmas and New Year's Eve.

We enjoyed a good day's fishing out on the Mid-Channel Wrecks last Sunday 23rd November, all the boys caught well and the weather was kind to us.
Local angler Tim Smith from Dawlish landed a couple of large Pollock of 16lbs & 17lbs, Nick Bundy from Newton Abbot had Cod to 8lbs and Tony Gouldthorpe from Torquay landed himself a super 17.5lbs Pollock.
Young Harvey Laws from Exwick had his first deep sea fishing trip with his Dad Aaron and managed to land himself Cod and Pollock just like a Pro! View Boats Page

Report on-board Just Fishing
We've missed out on a fair few trips due to the strong winds lately. However we did manage to get out to the Wrecks at the end of October and the Cod are still playing ball. We also have managed to get out there at the start of November and managed a few nice Pollock along with Cod all just under an hours steaming.
The Skerries banks are still producing Plaice but has slowed up now.
"Just Fishing" will remain ready and available during the winter months for the large Cod and Pollock.
We are already taking bookings for 2016 with Skerries Charters at £350 for the day and Wrecking charters Starting at £450.
Also vouchers are available for xmas.

Report on-board Spot On!
October has been a varied month with warm weather and sometimes feeling more like summer, especially when the Cod have been playing ball like they have been all year this year.
Wrecking has been simply fantastic with great numbers of cod, Pollock, ling and bass making up the main sport, although some nice size tub and red gurnards have been taking the sidewinder also which makes for a nice surprise.
Bassing has also been strong with some trips landing lots up to the 5-6lb mark also on sidewinders and wedges.
The skerries continued to fish strong for plaice and rays with only one trip there in October the plaice not being quite as abundant as summer months but with plumper specimen's landed instead.
Spot On managed one last trip to Guernsey in October and what away to finish for this year, lots of prime Black Bream in the region of 2-3lb size around the islands, along with turbot and brill although only small with a handful of keepers.
The wrecking on the way hoe proved again the highlight with large Pollock on the first wreck but it was cod the lads wanted so off I went again and bingo, on the money again with another wreck producing a fish for every angler every drift, a nice end to 2015 Guernsey trips and I look forward to next years trips already.
Spot on has managed one wrecking trip in November so far due to the strong winds we have been having and it seems the Pollock have moved in as they were first on the lures and for the first time in many months just a hand full of cod and lots of Pollock made up the numbers, bait over slack produced some excellent ling fishing with the biggest going 31lb 5oz for Len from Liverpool.
November sees the season winding down for Spot On with Pollock being the target species before the boat comes out early December for a clean, scrub and tidy up ready for the winter Pollock in January 2016.
Bookings for next year have gone crazy and I would like to thank all my anglers for supporting myself and Spot On and enjoying the great Devon fishing town of Brixham, your support is appreciated and I enjoy fishing with you.
A big Thanks again for my sponsor's SIDEWINDER LURE'S and TOP RIG'S as without your great products these fish would simply not be possible.
This Saturday 7th November see's myself attend the Torbay festival presentation for myself to pick up the top skipper award.
(Making statement that Spot On is once again BRIXHAM's top charter boat for the second year running in this event.)

As the end of September is approaching Spot On managed a few more trips between the winds recently with some great results.
Wrecking continues to be very productive with Cod, Ling and Pollock and some great numbers of Bass, have all been landed on board Spot On.
At anchor we have seen loads of Black Bream along with Conger, Ling and lots of big Scad.
I had a recent trip to the skerries banks which produced lots of nice plaice with the biggest going 4lb 10oz and again at anchor some good fishing with Blonde and Small eyed rays being caught, other species included a red mullet, whiting, red gurnards, tub gurnards, grey gurnards, dogfish, bull huss and mackerel.
it must be said that the last 3 trips have thrown up some real monsters for Spot On, a 20lb Cod, 4lb 10oz Plaice, 30lb Ling, 10lb Bass and a huge 19lb Turbot for regular angler Chris from Plymouth.
Again a big thanks for my sponsors for there continued support and great products they offer you anglers, who are SIDEWINDER lures and TOP RIGS.

Report on-board Spot On!
Torbay Festival was hampered again this year with some easterly winds meaning Spot On couldn't fish some days, however I am pleased to announce once again this year Spot On was again top boat from Brixham.
Some great fish and some great trophies and prizes won for my anglers, so well done guys.
Spot On is Brixhams only Catamaran offering speed, stability, comfort and plenty of room
It has come to light that some local skippers seem to have become a bit green eyed with jealousy and have tried to hamper my reports which I feel is a real shame as they are trying to stop 'you' the anglers and readers seeing my reports and catches.
All I can say is the competition results speak for themselves.
The catch gallery speaks for itself and still the only charter boat in Brixham to catch Blue and Porbeagle sharks.
Oh I almost forgot, not to mention winning CBUK catch of the month 8 times along with holding 3 CBUK record catches, feel free to check out the other local boats and make up your own mind.
Rant over so thank you to my anglers old and new who have come to me from other charter boats and who have been with me from the beginning, I welcome your custom and support of Spot On and Brixham and I will do my best to get you the fish you dream of.
Thank you to my SPONSORS: SIDEWINDER lures and TOP RIGS for there continued support and great products they offer. (order these direct and collect on board or have them sent to you) (Please pre order)
2016 Diary is filling very fast with the Torbay festival for 2016 now fully booked and all weekend's full until November 2016 but please do get in contact and I will see what I can offer.
Pictured is a surprise catch of a Porbeagle Shark for Jim while he was Ling fishing

Report on-board Spot On!
The big tides at the beginning of September saw Spot On heading out on a couple days of Bassing.
When we arrived at our first wreck of the day we were not disappointed as from the off the bass were hitting the net, we could have stayed all day catching these fun little silver beauties but we decided to try a few more wrecks throughout the day and again Spot On was on the mark again bringing 2 double figure bass on one drift and accompanied by a few more averaging 5-8lb region.
Day 2 saw much of the same but 8lb was the biggest we could manage on this day but still loads of fun and lots of fish, the lads all filled there quota of 3 fish each and we then enjoyed the sport on light tackle.
Thanks goes to SIDEWINDER lures for there sponsorship and giving my anglers some great lures that are simply awesome and caught some great Bass.
2016 Diary filling fast so if you want to have a trip on board Brixham's only catamaran offering you Speed, Stability, Comfort and space and the chance to catch fish that you will find only in my gallery then get in touch.
Pictured is the double shot of double figured bass caught on one drift.
