    Report on-board Galloper

    we had the day off today and so stacey and i took out some friends of ours out with us for the day. stacey was at the helm and took us well off shore to one of our favourite big cod marks. on the ebb we only had a couple of cod and a roker aswell as a smoothound. as the tide started to flood we saw a few more cod coming aboard and by the end of the day we had 16 cod and 7 roker. there were loads of dogfish and whiting which kept us busy but i think they stop some of the cod getting to the bait. the cod averaged around 5-7lbs and the biggest was 11.6lbs caught by stacey.

  • 28/10/2009 Fishing Report by Peter Davis on Warrior II (Looe, Cornwall)

    28 Oct 2009 by Peter Davis

    Report on-board Warrior II

    Hi all, well after a very busy Summer the sharking has now finished, ending on a high with a 110lb (estimated) on Fri, Oct 16th . The numbers are up on last year and considering the days lost with poor weather I will write it down as a good season with a good percentage of fish up around the"ton". Reef fishing from Looe has been on the whole good with some very good reef Congers going well over 60lb. With the winter looming towards us it will be the weather that will challenge the bookings/trips in the coming months. Any of my regulars reading this report please try and book as early as poss.for next year as the diary is just the opposite of last year and is already looking busy for the top times and tides !! The boat again will stay in the water for the whole of the winter period so there are deals to be done, even for small groups of you. To all that fished aboard Force Ten, thanks for your bussiness and to all new crews/clients/ customers-- dont wait too long, Cheers, Pete

    A Tripple personal best
    Posted by mick on September 28, 2009

    This weekend has seen some excellent fishing but on Sunday a group of anglers from Newcastle between them managed to break three records

    after wreck fishing all morning and bagging plenty of nice ling and a few cod I decided to head for the ground and in no time the fish were having it, a cracking ling of 15.2oz came up for young Jack and a personal best for him well done mate,the other anglers heads were down and not wanting to be out done by such a young lad (as they had a sweep going for first and second heaviest fish of the day) the very next drift Wayne fishing at the back of the boat and with a fishing rod about 1 meter long

    ( no joking the rod had been broken on several previous ocasions,)

    hit into a whopper the stumpy little rod with no end eye was nearly bent double the fish gave a good account of it’s self with Wayne puffing like steam boat and eventually up came another two personal bests one for Wayne and another for the new sea urchin 2 a ling of nearly 24lbs

    well done lads and I look forward to seeing you all again soon

    Report on-board Flamer IV

    ENGLAND SQUAD ON FLAMER III - The England world championship squad have been out on Flamer III for a practise weekend.In 2010 the world championships are being held in Montenegro,so a practise session using the type of tackle required in similar tidal conditions for species like bream and gurnards was done on a calm October weekend.In fact lots of different species were caught all on the same rigs/traces during the two days.The different species included black bream,cod,red and tub gurnards,mackerel,scad,garfish,pout,poor cod,spotted and thornback rays,various wrasse,dog fish,smooth hounds,bull huss,whiting etc and lots of mini species.Jim Whippy an England team selector came along to add his wealth of expierience and keep score of the competiton they did as individuals and teams which just made it a more interesting practise session.Jim kept changing the rules so I am not sure which team won but the individuals winner on both days was Gary Galbraithe.Pictured are the England squad.I'm sure you all wish them well in Montenego in 2010.

  • 18/10/2009 Fishing Report by Bob Marshall on Duke IV (Ramsgate, Kent)

    18 Oct 2009 by Bob Marshall

    Report on-board Duke IV


    A change in the weather from Indian summer to winter has coloured the water and brought in the Cod. Bens group of Firemen from London had a good day with plenty of fish including Cod Skate and some quality Whiting. The wind is blowing again as I write so perhaps the Bass will move out now. The Cod numbers should increase with plenty of doubles if last years fish have continued to grow as they should. We have been catching some fine Dabs lately, a small species but one that has been quite rare for a few years now. The fishing seems to be getting back to that of years gone by when there was plenty of species around with good numbers of large Cod. Its time to dig out the flotation suits & get out fishing!

    Report on-board Swin Ranger

    fishing on the 19th of oct i had high hopes as the day before had been the best in ages so i settled on the previouse days mark wind had been forcast for the afternoon so it seemed that we might just see the flood before the weather started to return the fish started to come and as the day before as the tide came up the fish got bigger but so did the wind and swell by midday the swell was making fishing uncomfortable but we tried to percivere but a couple of nasty sets of waves made my mind up that enough was enough so we headed inshore once out of the esturary and back in the river we dropped the anchor and setteled in to a whiteing festival unfortunatly thats all we had the rest of the day fun was had by all .

    Report on-board Razorbill 3

    Well it,s about time that we started seeing a good run of COD and this last week we have been catching some good fish, The main size has been around 4 to 6lb with some good doubles landed over the weekend, We are still getting some good THORNBACKS up to 10lb with numbers of WHITING that we havent seen for a long time,
    Now that the CODLING have moved inshore we will not lose too many trips to strong winds, The next few months will be the best time for COD fishing with the bigger fish moving in around December and the start of January.I would expect to see a lot of 15lb + fish, The fish in the picture is a 12 1/2lb COD caught on Sunday is that the start of the bigger ones?
