    Report on-board Meerkat

    JANUARY/ FEBRUARY

    Well what a horrible Winter we have been having with all of these constant strong winds, which are forcing the Weymouth charter fleet to stay in the harbour most of the time. However when the weather has been nice enough for us to get out, the fishing hasn't been disappointing us. The wrecks are fishing pretty steady with quite a lot of double figure Pollock coming out. The biggest on Meerkat so far 17lb 8oz (pictured here) and the biggest in the fleet 19lb 8oz but there is still plenty of time for someone to get that magical 20lb.

    INSHORE

    The inshore anchor marks are fishing just as well with up to 12 species coming up in the same spot. The last few weeks have shown some amazing specimen fish caught from one of our local marks. Some are listed below

    Conger Eels to 60lb
    Spur Dogs to 15lb
    Undulated Rays to 17lb
    Thornback Rays to 14lb
    Blonde Rays to 34lb
    Also among all these bigger fish we have been catching quite a few nice tabled size Whiting.

    I have also heard/ seen that the first signs of Turbot are starting to show on the famous Shambles Bank, so hopefully it won't be too long before we start seeing a few more.

    If you fancy a trip out on Meerkat or have any questions you would like to ask, please feel free to contact me 07776182782 or email me on ryancasey1@hotmail.com

    Hope to see you all soon.
