Report on-board Channel Warrior
15/03/14 Today we had our first mackerel and what was encouraging they were under the 4 mile mark, I expect because the sea temp is up for this time of year ( about 9 degrees ). The morning session today was difficult (ebb) with cloudy,cold and choppy conditions. But the afternoon on the flood saw things turn round the chop flattened out, the sun came out and the big whiting turned up in steady numbers and all were fully roed-up. We also had our share of dogs along with a smattering of wrasse. Kept in-shore to day because of the fore cast, it was nothing like they were predicting and I could have gone off-shore.Our 8 hour trip as usual turned into a 9 1/4 hour, don't time fly when you are enjoying your self. Good fishing and tight lines to you all

Report on-board Channel Warrior
First time out for more than 3 weeks. Straight out to the whiting ground, the big tides and murky water, they were few and far between with just about 6 keepers. Plan B anchored up as close to a wreck as I dared go, and the lads were straight into conger with Chris reeks landing the first and the biggest of the day a conger well over the 50lb mark the scales decided to die on me. Mike Gray from Wells had his PB a conger in the low 30s , Alan from Okehamton had a battle for half an hour and in the end losing his conger it must have been huge. 9 conger were brought to the boat by 7 anglers. All this rod bending sport and we were less than 5 mile from port. Its a pity we did"ent have a few more whiting for the pan but hey that's fishing. Tight lines and good fishing to you all.

on Silver Spray II (Poole, Dorset)

Report on-board Silver Spray II
I’m sure you won’t be overly shocked to hear I haven’t been out much since my last monthly report, a grand total of 2 trips as it happens. Both of which saw us leave port at first light and return early to make the most of short windows in the terrible weather we have been having. What we lacked in weather we certainly made up for in spur dogs as anglers Kevin Griffiths and Roger Clarke landed the 2 biggest spur dogs I have ever seen on the same trip. The pair were using large mackerel cut baits on single hook flowing traces of 100lb mono. After sporting fights the fish were safely brought onboard and weighed in at 22lb 4oz and 25lb 8oz respectively for Kevin and Roger. Both fish were heavily pregnant with pups and were returned alive and kicking after a couple of minutes. Roger’s fish would have beaten the current British Record for a boat caught spur dog had we brought it ashore, I’ve had a couple of different reports of the record size but it would have beaten it by at least a pound. Both days produced plenty of blonde rays as well up into the mid twenties along with a handful of bull huss and congers to keep rod tips bouncing. Let’s hope we get all the bad weather out of the way now so we can enjoy a nice summer again!!

on Out The Blue (Poole, Dorset)

Report on-board Out The Blue
Another year another boat - those of you that have fished with Terry on the Raptor in the past may be intrigued to try out his latest aquisition. This stunning traditional Lochin 33 'Out The Blue'. She may not have the speed of the Raptor but she still pushes on at a fair lick and is capable of speeds up to 22 knots. As you can see from the photographs she has a very large open deck with plenty of room for landing those big Blues.
I am taking bookings as from the end of February. View Boats Page
