  • 04/2015 Fishing Report by Ross Parham on Spot On! (Brixham, Devon)

    Report on-board Spot On!

    The wind finally gave us a break for the first time in April 2015 so Spot On was full steam ahead out to the mid channel wrecks to continue where we left off in March.

    The fishing again was superb with some great sized Pollock coming to the net and when the tide eased we put on a few baits to try for some Ling, we managed a fair few ling in a short period but unfortunately there were only a few over the 20lb mark to get a photo as I would be there all day if I photographed everything!

    Most of the Pollock and Ling have now spawned which is great news for the future stocks but bad news if your after that 20lb'er for another year, although we have been having some great scraps from the male fish of 9/12lb mark.

    April will see the wrecking continue and see a few more Cod in the catches as the month goes on.
    It is also the time Spot On heads up to the shambles for a 3 day Weymouth trip in search of Turbot, Brill and Plaice.
    The end of April is also Spot On's first Guernsey trip of the year which I am already looking forward to.

    The skerries is fishing well for the start of the season and we are heading there Friday 10th April for Spot On's first trip to the famous banks.

    Dates are filling very fast I have already been asked for 2016 dates! so book early or grab a last minute space and come and try the south wests premier charter boat with catches others simply dream of! and of course a fun, enjoyable day on board goes without saying.

    Pictured is the biggest Ling to date for April which was caught by Steve Ford and a nice specimen of 26lb 10oz.

    Remember there is only one catamaran in Brixham and there is only one Spot On! the only boat with up to date catches, reports, and photos as seeing is believing.




    Local tackle shop Spot On fishing in Preston / Paignton is also getting even more stocked by the day and is continuing to grow with great local support and with the deals on the great tackle we use on board its hard to see it will do anything else.
    Great fresh and frozen bait and well worth a visit, much more stock than others for wrecking and sea fishing.
