  • 07/12/2014 Fishing Report by Philip Higgins on Mistress Linda / San Gina3 (Poole, Dorset)

    7 Dec 2014 by Philip Higgins

    Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3

    I would like to wish all my anglers and every other angler a Merry Christmas and tight lines for next year, this year has not run true to form, mackerel were scarce for best part of the summer and several species you would expect to catch abroad were caught in our waters. The cod and whiting fishing from Poole is in full swing and the best cod to my knowledge by a Poole boat is a cracking 34lb I could only manage a 15lb12oz one for my anglers yesterday along with some nice whiting. The SFP cod comp is now on the 28th December and should produce some fine fish if you fancy entering it give me call for details. Last week I did a flounder trip in Poole Harbour and ended up with 18 nice fish but the most impressive part of the trip was the stunning scenery and wildlife we saw during the day. Over the next few weeks the I expect several flounders around the 4lb to be landed and some good cod in the 30lb class then after Christmas the offshore banks will come alive with good catches of Spurdogs poss record size and blond rays in numbers. Merry Christmas.

    Report on-board Just Mary

    Hi One and All, apologies firstly but recently returned from extended 'end of season' break including visits to family and friends abroad and hence a lack of recent reports. The run of constant Easterly winds has caused problems with the logistics of running any trips and whilst some have managed to get out midweek the weekend trips have proved difficult in lining up customers and trips on the same day. However some good news as I now look at a wet and windy forecast for the coming week ! We managed to get out yesterday, Saturday, and although there was only six of us in total good numbers of Whiting were caught once again and good size ones too. Killer rig was baited feathers with Mackerel strip marinated in Pilchard Oil, every drop down producing bites and fish. Big baits on the 'second' rod with pennel rigs, muppets and all manner of different baits, Cuttle, Calamari Squid (from Castaways Tackle - nice big ones) and frozen Mackerel only attracted the local Dogfish population and one small Smoothound, sadly no 'Trophy Fish' for us. Although I did hear that another Angling Charter Boat near to us did manage to find a Cod. The Needles seems to be producing some Cod but patchy reports and with many boats preferring to fish our own Bay for Cod, Conger and Rays. I guess we are all guilty sometimes of driving over better fishing grounds right on our doorstep to get to the place where the Anglers think that they have to go ! Experience often teaches us to go with our own 'gut feeling' rather than join the rest of the flock, but it takes a brave Skipper to make that decision in an often 'No Win' situation. All the best, Malc.

  • 11/2014 Fishing Report by Lyle Stantiford on Supanova II (Weymouth, Dorset)

    Report on-board Supanova II

    Well the weather has started to become a bit of a pain with a high number of trips being cancelled. But then again it is the norm for this time of year.

    When we have been out when the weather has let us the main focus has been bass with some amazing catches and other hard ground results. Good numbers of Whiting are starting to feature along with the odd Cod, conger, blonde, undulate and Spotted rays have made things variable. The shock has been the late staying bream, it is December next week and as recently as yesterday we were catching bream in numbers like the summer!!!

    A few trips left for the year now and we will be operating between christmas and New Year so if you fancy a day away from it all then gives us a shout.

    Thanks to all for their continued support to Weymouth as ever.

    Lyle

  • 20/11/2014 Fishing Report by Sam Cumming on Silver Spray II (Poole, Dorset)

    20 Nov 2014 by Sam Cumming

    Report on-board Silver Spray II

    The winter cod season is well underway now with the first cod hitting the deck on October 25th for Martin Lewis weighing in at 21lb. Since then we haven’t enjoyed the best of weather only managing a couple of trips a week due to southerly winds and the temperature has yet to drop which is key to a good days cod fishing. In between cod we have enjoyed plenty of congers, rays, spur dogs, bull huss and whiting. Paul Hathaway pulled up a monster of an eel over slack water one day at the end of October, the fish really fighting every inch of the way. We eventually managed to roll it up into the big landing net and had it aboard but unfortunately it was too rough to weigh it. We estimated it to be around 65lb. You always know the season is properly underway when it’s time for the Lowrance British Cod Championships down in Lymington. Due to poor numbers this year it looked like we wouldn’t be needed up until the last minute when a mechanical problem forced another boat to drop out. Both days saw up to 30knots of south/south-easterly wind so we fished in Solent. The first day was just a practice for us as we didn’t manage a decent bite at all but we more than made up for it on the second. Fishing a different area the lads managed 13 cod throughout the day up to 7lb. They may not have been the biggest of fish but it was good enough to see Clive Webb into second place overall with 5 fish weighing in at 21lb all together. The most effective rigs were 3 down flowing traces with 4/0 hooks baited with lug worm and a squid head, I’m so used to fishing big all the time for cod so it was interesting to see a different technique produce such results. It may sound odd but I’m looking forward to it getting colder soon so we can see more cod turn up down in Poole Bay

  • 18/11/2014 Fishing Report by Trevor Small on Rocket (Poole, Dorset)

    18 Nov 2014 by Trevor Small

    Report on-board Rocket

    Dear all
    Rocket's winter fishing season is getting off to a rather slow start. Cod our main target seem low on numbers, but this is likely to improve over the coming weeks. Despite lower numbers of Cod than this time last year,catches of other species have been up. All of our trips have produced good size Bass, Congers and an abundance of Channel Whiting. Also Thornback rays seem plentiful, along with Bull Huss and a bonus 18.5 lb Turbot .Rocket came third in the Poole Sea Anglings Centre, Cod Comp fished on Nov 16th. Our Cod was a very small fish, but a Cod and that's all that counted. This time of year can produce some very exciting sport, and often produces a lifetime fish for anglers taking part. Good luck and see you soon.

    Regards Trevor Small
    Rocket, Poole
