    Report on-board Pegasus

    Well that was better! we managed 16 days at sea in April and 6 out of the first 8 days of May, pleasure to spending so much time at sea and on some days in some pretty awesome weather especially the recent May bank holiday weekend. Anyway onto the fishing, the start of April usually see much ore interest in our inshore trips rather than wrecking which is nice for a change. We've had plenty of Smoothhounds up to 7lb 6oz, a few Rays again only to about 7lb, pollack on the reefs into double figures along with a couple of early cod, there where still plenty of Channel whiting the last time we tried although interest in fishing for them is declining as the summer species start to move in, which brings me on to the Bream, in the past couple of years we have normally only caught the odd fishing during spring where catches further east seem to be very good but this year we seem to have a "colony" of breeding fish on our grounds which is great to see, in turn we have had quite a few Bream in the past week upto 3lb 9oz. The only thing thats really disappointed me about the inshore fishing s far is that we event been seeing many Plaice, especially as the seem to be catching them everywhere else but thats fishing for you.
    Wrecking has tailed of somewhat recently with the Pollack fishing slowing up as it always does at this time of year and the fish also being a smaller average size, we are hoping to see the arrival of cod in good numbers soon!
    Offshore anchored trips have produced some lovely Blonde rays up to 25lb and conger but unfortunately the Spurdogs are playing hard to get to the west of Portland this year for some reason, not long now and the Tope will be around and in July we will start Sharking! can't wait.
    Hope to see you out on the water soon
