    Report on-board Silver Spray II

    At this time of year the winter season is well and truly upon us so the only sort of fishing I’ll be doing for the foreseeable future is for the inshore cod and whiting. The season was slightly late starting with the first cod hitting the deck on the 7th of November, but since then we haven’t had a blank day with 10 fish in the last 5 trips. Dave Perrett and Robert Summers supplied us with today’s action with a pair of 20lb fish. Dave hooked a pout on his 3 squid bait which was then taken by a very greedy cod, this highlights the importance of having both hook points showing well on your penel rig otherwise I expect the cod would have claimed its prize unchallenged. As well as the cod and whiting we have been kept busy with congers, thornback rays, bass and bull huss. The selection of quality species is what makes inshore winter fishing one of my favourite parts of the season. On the 14th of November Silver Spray II attended the annual Lowrance British Cod Championship down in Lymington, unfortunately due to weather we had to cut it short to just 1 day rather than 2. We managed 4 cod on the day, the biggest of which got angler Dave Wood 3rd biggest fish on the day. Dave’s brother Jon caught all 3 of the other fish and came in second place for overall bag weight, he used a squid and crab cocktail which proved very effective. Thanks to my anglers efforts I was extremely proud to be named top skipper of the 2013 comp, even if I only scraped the top spot by 10oz!!

    We are now taking bookings for Cherbourg and Alderney trips in 2014 for individuals and charters. If you would like to fish regularly on a Saturday please email us on info@silverspraycharters.com
