This weekend saw the Mistress Linda enter party mode on Saturday with a family who were out to celebrate their sons birthday, it was well organised by his girlfriend Olivia. The group enjoyed a bit of fishing catching plenty of mackeral before heading into Studland for a swim and to top up their tans. During the swimming the proud parents and I discussed holiday destinations and the local scenery whilst ensuring all in the water were safe. It was a really relaxing and enjoyable day.
Oh how hard it is to be a charter skipper on days like that -

July Report
The offshore fishing certainly excelled with good catches of Cod, Pollack and Ling given the opportunity to anchor these marks big congers and some good size Bream came aboard. The banks around Poole produced a good selection of Rays, plenty of sport with Tope and general fishing. Bass still have yet to appear in numbers but now the mackeral and Scad shoals have arrived these should show up, just a reminder anglers are restricted to 3 bass per person. Locally we have had plenty of fun with small bream, plaice, gurnards and mini species these provide a good days fishing and can be a lifeline when conditions are not favourable. Poole Harbour is fishing well and acts as a safe haven for charter boats , using really light gear you will be surprised by the amount and number of different species caught each trip.
Come and enjoy the fishing -

This week has seen both extremes of fishing with the weather on Monday keeping the Mistress Linda in Poole harbour catching many mini species and a few nice Plaice to midweek which a charter of young lads had me doubting my sanity before the trip but to be honest they were excellent company and great to have onboard they did get a bit excited catching mackeral in numbers making me work hard unhooking and untangling. The Tope were absent in big numbers on our planned day but we did catch a few and swopped a few fishy stories. The weekend offshore trips have produced some cracking numbers of Cod and Pollack no big fish best around the 10lb mark but great sport on light gear, because the fishing was so good we decided to have an hour on your oldest most knackered lure ( an idea given to me by a well respected local skipper) this proved a great laugh and still produced fish.
Come and join us aboard for a trip either inshore or offshore before the best of the fishing declines.
All the best

Due to the recent strong winds recently we have fished Poole Harbour and the Swash channel, during this time we have great fun catching a total of 27 different species ranging from blenny's to small Tope. This is good practice for any competition angler but can be frustrating for a beginner as the fish are well practiced at stealing the bait. The Ray fishing is still producing cracking fish with the best Undulate of 18lb 3ozs being caught on a spinning rod at slack water last week.

June fished really well from Poole with many excellent catches of Cod and Pollack, July has started with a 'bang' and the quality of the Cod has improved with many double figure fish and several over 20lb being landed, Plaice are being caught in good numbers with some nice size fish amongst them. Tope are providing good sport on light gear and to add to the fun we are operating Ray trips using spinning rods which tests the anglers skills and patience but it is rewarding.

Ray fishing is really good and with the arrival of the illusive Mackeral it will get better

Mid channel wreck fishing is producing good catches of small to medium Cod and some cracking Pollack, anglers are taking advantage of the good weather and enjoying a great day out using light gear the magic colours that produce the best results are rhubarb / custard and bubble gum pink, make sure you take these to optimise your chances. Around Poole the banks are producing Rays in good numbers along with all the summer seasonal fish.

After a few days of fresh winds the wind dropped out and the conditions became near perfect to venture back out to the wrecks, after a fish less 1st wreck we moved 2 miles and our luck changed with good quality Cod and Pollack coming aboard every drift with numerous full house hook ups. As the day went on the fish kept coming with many being released, the anglers had a great day enjoying good fishing ,calm seas and plenty of sunshine one of them commented this was the 1st time he had used his sun block cream he has had in his tackle box for 3 years mind you when he took his sunglasses off he did look like a panda to the amusement of all those onboard.

The latest comp out of Poole showed a wide range of species that can be caught and how much fun can be had from a day afloat. Bream have been prolific with many good fish being landed but all females being released, Smoothhounds have given a good account and provide great sport on light gear. Rays, Tope, Bullhuss are being caught in good numbers and once the illusive mackeral arrive in numbers these will further improve the catches. Cod and Pollack offshore have been very good and with the back end of this tide the fishing will get better than has been seen for a while.
I would like to thank all the anglers that have been aboard since my return to full time chartering as you have given me so much support I did not know until now what I was missing. THANK YOU. The enjoyment of meeting new people and sharing life experiences is enlightening and I hope to see you onboard soon. Back to the fishing Poole offers a variety of species in protected waters and some wonderful scenery on the odd day the fish go on holiday!!. -
