As the new season begins we get the 1st of the winter storms, when we have been out locally the fish have been on the smaller side but plentiful to keep everyone interested but when we get it right and venture offshore the fishing is full on action with me not evening getting back to the cabin between landing fish, our last adventure saw a few new PBs and some 1sts for the anglers with Andy taking the honours biggest Spur, most Spurs and most fish the biggest fish of the day was an Eel between 50 and 55lb on light gear. As the tide and weather increased we shot back inshore for a couple of drifts and landed 2 Plaice in 15 minutes to end the day.

As spring approaches the inshore winter species are starting to thin out with plenty of small to medium whiting, smaller eels dogs etc this is the time of year we look to fishing further offshore looking for as my anglers refer to it as ‘fishing for things with teeth’ target Spurdogs, Tope, Congers, Blonde Rays . During these trips it is not uncommon for a Porbeagle to circle the boat and often nudging the hooked fish. Today due to big tides and thick fog we fished inshore and had lots of Whiting as the sun burnt the freezing food off and the tide eased we moved out catching more whiting as the tide turned we decided to go drifting for Plaice and as fortune had it we were successful with several coming aboard and in surprisingly good condition with the best falling to Paul.

Today we did a slow jig and surface popping day with a bit of Plaice and Turbot drifting over slack water, the 1st mark was not productive so we moved on and immediately hit Bass on the slow jig rods, every time a fish was landed we changed jigs to test colours , shapes etc and still caught Bass best one falling to Sean a very nice fish of 7lb. Biscay minnows also accounted for lots of fish and a bonus Ray. As the tide eased we changed to fresh baits and landed Turbot, Plaice, Dogs and small Tope then as the tide started to ebb we went into the shallows and drifted using surface poppers and free lined lures to great success landing plenty of small Pollack, Wrasse and the odd Bass. In all a bloody good fun day with lots of fish, the next slow jig / popping day will begin September if you fancy it please keep an eye on my website as the date will be posted there.

As the spring season starts we have had some fantastic weather, the fishing is improving with some nice catches of plaice are being landed and it will not be long before we start catching the very fiesty Black Sea Bream which size for size put up a great fight on the right gear, I am running plenty of midweek individual trips again this season so if you fancy a relaxed day fishing from Poole give me a call.

Today we choose to try for Plaice as the last few weeks have produced some excellent Whiting fishing with the best falling to Don P who during it being photographed slipped and accidentally returned it the expression on his face was awesome and the words completely in printable, today’s weather was the best this year flat calm and warm once the sun came up. We did not expect to catch many Plaice as this is very early for them so we decided to try 3 marks, the 1st produced plenty of Whiting and 2 Plaice the next mark produced more Plaice as did the final mark, not big fish but most rewarding finding them this early. Wonderful day afloat in perfect conditions.

Due to a few days of strong winds we have been restarting fishing inside probably the most beautiful and possibly the largest harbour in the world and it has been brilliant with some decent sized Plaice, Black and Gilthead Bream, Bass, Gurnard, Hounds, Mackeral and Flounders being landed along with plenty of bait robbing sized bream. Drifting the main channel during quiet periods of boat movements has been the most productive but once the main ebb tide gets away the weed has been a problem.

Fishing has been top notch the last few days with plenty of Plaice, Bream, Tope an£ Rays but today’s trip had a more sober feel to it where we said goodbye to one of my anglers and spread his ashes at sea, Mike had been a loyal customer and good friend over the years but sadly passed away his son, family and friends arranged the day in respect for their dad and had a fun days fishing and as we steamed home Mike jnr raised a glass toasted his dad Mike with his favourite tipple as we said goodbye to a real nice guy. RIP my friend and we will raise a glass this time next year.

For once the weather gods were on our side with flat calm seas, perfect tides and sunshine we decided to fish for bream in the morning and at slack Rays then spend the afternoon drifting for plaice. Once at anchor for bream the action was non stop all morning with over 130 being caught and returned then over to Rays and within minutes a fine 12lb undulate was boated along with congers, dogs then as the tide started to flood a slight SW breeze started which helped push us along on the drift and we were rewarded with several nice plaice the best falling to Pete at 3lb 5ozs . Now the weather has returned to gales and rain we look forward to the next opportunity to fish again.
If you would like more details on trips please call.

It is good to see the arrival of Mackeral, Garfish and the sporting Black Bream over the last few days we have seen catches of Bream increase in numbers each trip along with lots of Plaice up to 11/2 lbs not big fish but on the correct tackle these also provide great sport

We are still waiting for the Bream to arrive after an a spell of cold weather, with the temp rising hopefully they will be here next week on the bigger tides. It is nice to see a few Mackeral showing. The last few days we have concentrated on Plaice and Rays with both being caught in numbers, local angler Keith asked if we could have a spell on the ‘patches’ trying for a bream only to land a double shot of dogfish and plaice. Now we have a spell of strong easterlies confining us to port. If you would like more info or a trip please call
