Spot on was over for a 3 day Alderney break for the 9th,10th &11th of June with a great bunch of guys and it has to be said the weather was perfect.
Day 1 saw Spot On hit the mid channel wrecks on the way over produced some great fish which included too many to count double figure Pollock, a few ling and lots of Cod.
Day 2 saw Spot On fishing the banks in search of Turbot and Brill and again what a day with a total of 23 big flatties were bought to the net which consisted of 17 turbot and 5 Brill, the biggst Turbot at 12lb 4oz and the biggest brill at 4lb 5oz.
Day 3 the lads decided they would like to try for some BIG cod so we again left Alderney and headed to the mid channel wrecks with the first wreck producing again lots of monstrous Pollock, we then hit wreck 2 and bingo with all nice cod coming up, then Phil hit into a bigh fish and soon surfaced a 25lb 8oz Cod, another 'Spot On' drift straight after and again another 20lb+ cod for phil at 21lb 4oz, we stayed a bit longer and getting some more double figured cod before our steam home to brixham.
A Big thank you to the lads for returning lots of there flatties and for making the trip again a great success.

Report on-board Becca Marie
A great first week of June onboard Becca-Marie. We`ve been hitting the Wrecks in search of Cod,Pollock and Ling. Despite the Breezy weather we managed to get amongst the Cod on our Midweek Individual 8hr Trip, many falling to white and orange lures.
The Weekend 10hr Trips we ventured south into deeper water to target Ling. We managed to net 15 while losing a few larger specimens aswell as some fine Summer Pollock and Coalfish.... Certainly a great start to the month as we look forward to more midweek trips and our first trip to the Channel islands this year...... View Boats Page

Out wrecking with a great bunch of novice anglers who travelled down from Bristol to fish the wrecks in search of some monsters of the deep, and Spot On did not dissapoint by landing on the Cod, many drifts producing 7/8 fish until Dean thought he had snagged the wreck and low and behold it moved and after a 15 minute strruggle he moved the monster Cod away from the bottom and was shocked to see what was on the end of his 'HIRE ROD' a stunning cod of 27lb hit the net.
Thanks to the lads for saying they had more than enogh fish and enabling me to have an early finish which makes a change.
Pictured is Dean from Bristol with his PB Cod of 27lb

Biggest Turbot fell to Paul Whiting with a fish of 13lb 6oz, best Brill fell to David Inns with a fish of 4lb 5oz, Biggest Bass fell to Phil the fish with a bass of 5lb 2oz.

Report on-board Becca Marie
Becca Marie has been out Wrecking and making the most of the Early morning starts to get into the start of Summer Cod, It had been a bit slow to start with the odd one or two Cod coming onboard in amongst all the Pollock but the last few trips numbers have been better, with the Cod numbers out doing the Pollock..... best so far has been 14lb 9oz although many anglers had been busted up by much larger fish........
We have two trips coming up with great tides on 4th June 6am - 2pm and Sat 7th June 7am - 6pm targeting Cod and Ling so come along and join us....... View Boats Page

Report on-board Becca Marie
Well it was good to get back out on the Wrecks again after a Period visiting the Banks and roughs.
The weekend of 17th and 18th of May saw Becca-Marie Fishing Inshore and offshore Wrecks.... Saturday was spent on our Half day Wrecking trips two ( 4hrs) trips and despite the water still being dirty with May Bloom the Pollock were feeding which kept the Anglers happy.... Although not huge ( up to 5lb) they were in abundance, so great fun was had by all on these shorter trips.
On the Sunday we left at 6am and headed offshore into the Deeper water, We arrived at Wreck in very good time and just by looking at the water clarity we new a good day was on the cards.... First three drifts produced no fish but on the fourth the fish woke up! The first double figure Pollock were netted and a new personal record was set by regular 16 year old Sam LeBaily with his 11lb 5oz. As the tide slowed down a Cod and three Ling were gaffed the Largest taken by Rafal Wszotek at 22lb 9oz,
As the tide picked up from the Slack more double figure Pollock were netted , the best of which was by regular Alastair Finch just shy of 16lb and the best Pollock of the day by Daryl Acreman at 18lb 2oz....... The wreck continued to produce fish for the remainder of the day, which made a nice change to remain on just one wreck.!! We had 20+ Pollock with the smallest at 7lb which has made it one of the best days we`ve had this season so far. View Boats Page

Report on-board Spot On!
Spot On has been using her speed to get out to some great fishing at the moment, with good catches on the wrecks both inshore some days and offshore on others, with lots of Pollock, Cod and with a few Ling, Whiting, Gurnards and pouting thrown in the mix as well.
Weather has been fantastic and the guys have all been great and the days fishing have flown by with good sport all round all round with bent rods everywhere.
Off to the channel islands soon for our first trip this year as the first one was cancelled due to the weather so fingers crossed for this one.
One trip producing some massive summer pollock with one angler taking 11 double figure fish and total of 20 fish in double figures with most weighing in at 12-15lb.
Pictured is the Jammy skipper who put his rod down for a drift to show the others how its done and with my fine Summer Pollock.

Report on-board Optimist
Sat 17th May a late all day booking from the guys from Chepstow, an early start meant a distance mid channel wreck. First wreck the fish weren't feeding so a move of a couple of miles put us on a wreck that first drop pulled up a 4lb 5oz Pollack on pink sidewinder, and continued to produce with some nice Pollack and Cod up to 8lb on small shads, with pouting and whiting also being caught. This continued through the ebb and slack water to the start of the flood when the fish seemed to go off the feed it was time for a change of wreck but with the spring flood the fish, although showing on the electronics, did not seem to want to take a variety of lures and bait offered to them.

Report on-board Optimist
The last few trips have found Plaice, Plaice and more Plaice on the Skerries with the inshore wrecks producing some Pollack of between 3lb to 10lb. We still seem to be lacking in baitfish as mackerel are still fairly few and far between but those caught of a good size. After the winter of storm after storm things are starting to settle down with spring species starting to reappear but fishing is still a bit hit or miss they are either feeding in which case we are catching or they are there but not showing an interest. Plenty more trips planned and as things settle it will get better.
