    Report on-board Flamer IV

    APRIL 2015
    The fishing on the Wrecks still continues to be very good, producing some excellent Ling and Pollack catches.Also the first Cod are starting to show.On a recent trip John Billett broke his Personal Best Ling record three times which finished with a 20Ib 15oz Ling as his best PB, John was using a Norwegian Herring Lure.Colin Gardiner age 70 something landed three Ling weighing 14Ib 8oz,16Ib 8oz and 18Ib 12oz in successive drops and understandably needed a little rest after pulling up that lot.Lady angler Nicky Trigg did well landing plenty of Polllack up to 12Ib and a 13Ib 8oz LIng,she also caught the first Cod of the year to be caught on Flamer IV during a wrecking trip. Trevor Lockyer had the best Ling of the day a 23 pounder (pictured).
    Lures - Bubble Gum Pink Red Gills are out fishing any other lures for the Pollack and Ling are also being caught on them.

    In April you can expect to see catches of Turbot and Brill on the Famous Shambles Bank and now is the time for that BIG TURBOT. Plaice will feature on the mussell beds and although they are a bit thin at this time of the year there is still a good chance of 5Ib plus fish.
    The Reefs and Banks will produce Blonde and Undulate Rays along with Spurdogs,Bull Huss,Smooth Hounds, Congers etc and may be some Black Bream . The Wrecks should be good for Pollack, Ling and a Cod or two..
