Fishing Report by Ross Parham
on Spot On! (Brixham, Devon)
Apr 2016 by Ross Parham
Report on-board Spot On!
April seems to have continued the trend of the 'NE & E' direction winds which has meant a lot of lost days at sea for Spot On of Brixham.
However on the occasion we have managed to squeeze a trip or 2 in the fishing has been very up and down to be honest. Some days producing quality fish, some days producing quantity of fish and some days have been just bumper days with it all mixed together.
It has been a great year so far for Ling for Spot On with already many fish in the 20lb+ mark and a couple of 30lb+ mark also boated.
We are seeing more and more cod each trip with our last wreking trip seeing 5 boated so this is early for them so lets hope its another great year for the cod for Spot On like the last few years have been.
A lonely Coalfish has also made an appearance making one angler very happy as he has spent a lifetime trying to catch one.
Most of the fish have been coming to Sidewinders with a few Long caught on bait.
Thanks to sidewinders again for there sponsorship and continued support.
A 2 day 'red eye' Guernsey trip was squeezed in and I am glad to say the food is still great at the La Perla restaurant, wreck fishing wasn't bad either with each angler taking home plenty of fillets that were prepared by crew man Phil as usual.
Hopefully May will bring some settled weather as we have a few Guernsey trips booked in and the calendar is nearly full so my fingers and toes are crossed for some nice weather.
Pictured is not something you see every day, a drift with Sidewinder lures producing 3 Ling all over 20lb in weight each, we would have had a couple more but they bit through the trace line's during the fight.
Remember there is only one Catamaran that operates from Brixham and only one 'Spot On', Brixham's premier charter boat.
