    Report on-board Supanova II

    Ages since the last report, my apologies for that, things have just been Chaos here in Weymouth!

    May was superb month with the wrecking just superb for Cod, and some really nice fish too. On one day the boat record was broken three times topped off by a cracker of 29lb for Andy Haydon.
    Inshore was good for Bream for a few weeks until they had spawned and moved off which is the norm. With the arrival of a few mackerel the tope fishing went bonkers and continues to be steady now. Weymouth isn't famed for its big fish fishing and it gets rubbished by a lot of customers because they can't eat it. However when they get a 40b tope on they soon change their tune.

    The channel islands run produced some decent flatty fishing throughout May, not mega numbers of fish but some very good quality. One day produced 26 turbot and Brill with 21 being keepers and 6 of those double figure fish.

    Throughout June the Cod fishing continued and inshore there was plenty to target including Bream, Bass, Turbot, Brill, Tope, Undulate and Blonde Rays, and a nice few mackerel.

    Now as July winds down with a fair bit of wind this month the wrecking has begun to tail off but still decent numbers of Cod for those that want it. Bream is getting better and better with each trip, inshore wrecks have produced great sport on the anchor with Bream, Bass, Pollack, congers and tope all featuring. A few decent sessions on the turbot and Brill locally has seen some cracking fish, the best being an 11b Brill once again for Andy Haydon, narrowly avoiding the boat record by just 2 ounces.

    A nice day anchored on the wrecks yesterday produced 60+ congers for the group of 6 with the best fish about 60b's.

    Here's Hoping August continues with great fishing and decent weather.

    As always thanks to all that keep Weymouth on the map as the finest angling port in the country with the finest boats, skippers and facilities the modern angler could ask for. Keep on coming and experience the variety and quality any other port could only dream of offering.

    Tight Lines,

    Lyle
