    Report on-board Spot On!

    Wednesday 30th July saw Spot On cruise around to Dartmouth to pick up the Manor angling crew at kingswear as requested and we then steamed out to the skerries banks in search of Plaice.
    The first drift did not disappoint as from the off we were into lots of the little flatties with 24 fish landed on the first drift, the day did slow down as the tide eased and this saw gurnards, dogfish and cuttle fish being caught along with many more plaice.

    We had a nice small eyed ray also and some nice fat plaice with two 4lb+ fish landed with the biggest going 4lb 12oz for Phil closely followed by a 4lb 8oz specimen for Plymouth angler Barry.
    A few more plaice well over the 2.5lb mark and some going over 3lb made up a great day of 107 plaice in total with 75% returned to get bigger, top rod was on 21 plaice at the end of the day.
    Top bait was fresh ragworm supplied by Manor angling of paington tipped with squid, the best bead combination will be left secret.

    The last 4 trips have seen numbers of plaice range from 60 fish to 107 so the skerries is fishing very well for spot On at present.

    Taking bookings for 2015 on Brixhams premier charter boat and only catamaran.
