Report on-board Deep Blue
Tuesday 8th April.
Nice out to start, with promise the conditions would worsen as the day went on. They did!! Slack on arrival, ebb starting, slack/flood the end.
Small tides + easterlies = meh!
A full crew on one of our inshore trips. A few regular regulars, and a few not so oftens.
The day started out slow but finished on a high. A great stamp, and number, of pollack landed today, irrespective of the conditions we contended with.
A mixture of styles (the lazy style adopted by Tim with the beard saw him land the most pollack on the trip) ��
Not many small fish at seen at all, and not a single wrasse, which was a bit weird. Lures, squid, sprats, rag and lug baits.

Report on-board Deep Blue
Massive tides with wind against
Leaving the marina to flat seas was lovely, but I knew it wouldn’t last.
Getting out to the reefs saw whitehorses, everywhere. Drifting at 2.5 kts on the flood with strong winds from the ENE was, well, pretty rubbish like.
The crew slogged away and deserve all the credit.
Codlings pollackss wrassesss mackerelsssss poutingssssssss zzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Even the photos are below par - I just couldn’t get them without being backlit, or with the sun glare. Also notices I had suncream fingerprints on my lens ��♂️.
Hard. Work. View Boats Page

Report on-board Deep Blue
27th March .
2nd/last day with the ‘Old Bill’
Flat as you can get to start, then a bit windy in the afternoon.
Inshore day scratching around for species was the request.
A few species of Wrasse, plaice, dabs, and some other bits.
A bit slower than I would’ve liked, but that’s the way it goes sometimes. Evidence of small patches of may bloom in the water out to the reefs today. View Boats Page

Report on-board Deep Blue
Wednesday 26th March��
Day one of the Sandford Police Dept (Hampshire) po’po, 5-0, rozzers…. etc. 2nd annual Eastbourne Social �� ��♂️ ��.
2 boats, 12 suitably warranted blokes, armed with half the ragworm in the south of England. One of them happened to be recently retired Patriot Charters skipper Alan Jones - no pressure there then.
Offshore day. Absolute pea soup as soon as we left the marina. Radars on. Eyes peeled. Couldn’t see diddly squat.
A slower that usual steam out to the shipping lanes for species hunting. Stopping off at a wreck to snag half a dozen pollack on the way.
We waited until the fog had lifted somewhat before dancing with the big container ships in the lanes. 30 metres of visibility and fog horns sounding all around you tends to give you a bit of nerves.
The dense fog hung around until lunchtime, then it got hot (fuzz).
A few species onboard today, across 3 terrain types - wrecks, banks and reefs. The best fish came from the rocky bits. View Boats Page

6 onboard. Lures on the reefs. *GREAT FORECAST*
Well, the forecast was completely upside down from yesterday when sorting the trip out. It was awful out there, the wind from the west was blowing hard, tide against had white horses all around us. The wind was stronger than the tide, so drifting in the flood direction on the EBB tide had lures dragging round everywhere.
Anyway…….. half dozen codling, more pollack, a fin perfect coalie and a load of wrasse - including a bloody stunner View Boats Page

Report on-board Deep Blue
Thursday 20th March.
7 crew, stunning conditions, wrecking.
Flying out to the lanes with the last of the ebb assisting, saw us get to our first wreck of choice with a half hour window to fish before the turn of the tide. A few wrecks looked at over the course of the trip.
The wrecks fished ok at slack water, and then again when the tide started running.
Some very nice Codlings, pollack, herring, mackerel, gurnards and weaver boated.
The cod spitting out herring, the pollack spitting out dragonets.
Not as warm in the sun as forecast, but still a glorious day in the mid English Channel.
We’ll not mention the 50 metres of braid and leader around my starboard prop, he had a right ‘Wellard’ there ������. IYKYK.
Fish marking the sounder all day. It’s getting lively �� View Boats Page

Report on-board Deep Blue
Monday 3rd March.
A small crew of 4, wrecking.
Lovely conditions forecast, lovely conditions found. Flat calm and sunny all day.
The flood tide has been a pig recently, and that’s the tide that is making most of the days up currently. So with that in mind, along with the dense fog forecast overnight, a 10:00am start was arranged.
Getting out of the locks, straight off (at warp speed) and onto our chosen route of wrecks, saw another boat already on our first one. We opted to join them on the wreck, being conscious not to steam over their drift, leaving plenty of room behind them, and not creating wakes. Shame they didn’t have the sense or courtesy to do the same. Cutting right past us several times, and steaming directly over the wreck to start another drift ��. If any of them follow me on here I hope they read this, and then manners are needed to be learnt.
Regardless of that, we were into double hookups from the first drift. This didn’t stop until slack water. Great fishing, and my job for the day was pretty much already done ������
Wreck hopping for the 2nd half of the trip saw us find more fish, but it was a single here, then nothing for a few drifts, then a single there, then nothing…. you catch my drift. Bumped into a mate at the end of our route, joined the wreck they and another boat were on, and all boats were skippered impeccably ����.
Overall then, a thoroughly enjoyable trip which ended as the sun was setting. View Boats Page

Report on-board Deep Blue
Friday 28th February.
Firstly, thank the fish gods that it’s March tomorrow. February has felt twice as long as January, and seen us only manage to beat the weather a handful of times.
8 crew, mixed abilities, wrecking!
High hopes for today’s big 7.42m tide. It was always going to be a struggle first thing, with choppy seas, wind against tide, and the dreaded (at least for me) flood tide for the first few hours. Punching the tide out to our first mark was a bit bumpy.
I said to the crew that the best of the days fishing would come towards slack at 11:30 and the first half of the ebb, and that proved to be absolutely ��.
Smaller pollack starting to appear as the tide dropped below 1.5kts, a few better fish before the turn, a good few more fish when things got moving again.
The smaller pollack were released (all bar 1) after slow retrieves from 50m.
The bigger ones were my crew’s rewards for a bloody tough morning, but a lucrative afternoon.
Hard work pays off…. View Boats Page
