Fishing Report by Ross Parham
on Spot On! (Brixham, Devon)

Report on-board Spot On!
Since Novemner 'Spot On' has only been out on a few trips due to the constant easterly winds that have been hammering our south Devon coastline, when we have got out the wreck fishing has again been good with plenty of hard fighting Pollock with the odd cod thrown in for good measure.
Other surprise catches have been a fair amount of large tub gurnards taken the lures which is nice to see.
I hope this weather will give us a break soon as I cant wait for the larger Pollock to turn up and I don't think they are too far away as we have been having steady catches of 9lb+ fish with a few mid doubles on most trips.
By far the best lure so far this year has to be the sidewinder Skerries Eels which have just been superb taking Cod and Pollock alike and has fished constantly.
Thanks to sidewinders for continuing to develop these great new lures that keep the fish coming to the net.
I have started to upload my pictures of some of the great fish caught in 2016 on board 'Spot On' and as you will see its been another bumper year and I would like to thank all my anglers for there continued support to myself and the great port of Brixham.
2017 diary is all but full and already been asked for 2018 dates which is mad!!
Spot On is still the only catamaran operating from Brixham, a few dates left for 2017 so get in fast if you want them.
I would like to wish newcomer Paul Bowden with his boat 'Off The Hook' good luck with his venture and for bringing more anglers to the port which shows Brixham is fast becoming the great charter port it once was and adding another fine vessel to Brixham's charter fleet, I look forward to working with the new boats in some competitions which will be planned in the new year so watch this space and if interested please get in touch.
Pictured is a fine 15lb December winter Pollock caught on a pearl sidewinder lure.
