Report on-board Supanova II
Well well well...........
What a summer we are having!!! the wind just doesn't blow and the suns out! Loving it!
Just 2 lost days in the whole of August which for the last few years has been unheard of.
August historically can be a funny month with the fishing and this year proved to be one of those funny months.
Some goof]d fishing inshore with great Plaice fishing and bream along with some lovely undulates and Blondes but all this has been on the small tides. As soon as the tides have built the excitement grows for better Bream and Bass, well unfortunately throughout August apart from the odd Day this just didn't happen.
Some interesting days on this years Conger Comp with numbers greatly reduced on all boats than previous years. Maybe the cold winter is to blame???? This years winning eel was a cracker of 82lb with Supanova's best of 68lb falling to Phil Rogers.
The next neap tides after the conger comp saw us venture off to find some more congers with again mixed results on various wrecks, the highlight of this trip however was some amazing Bream fishing with around 30 fish landed and all but 2 fish were over 3lb, with the best of 4lb 14oz falling to Phil Dolan (pictured).
September sees competition time in weymouth so watch this space for updates.
Once again thanks to all who continue to support the port.
Tight line,

Report on-board Just Mary
Apologies to those of you who regularly read my Fishing Reports on this site but I've been on Holiday abroad to visit the in-laws ! Anyway I'm back now so here goes ! One report that I should have done before leaving these shores was of the last weekend in July. Saturday 27/7 a Hire rod party enjoyed sport with plenty of Tope and a nice Undulate Ray of 18lb 0oz for Anoush Shamsaie on his first ever boat fishing trip. 'Anyone Can Fish' and catch Specimen sized fish on 'Just Mary'.....we prove it time and time again.....! Sunday 28/7 saw some poor weather conditions develop but the lads and lass from down Yeovil way still had good sport with Bass, Mackerel, Plaice, Dogfish, and other Summer Species both outside and in the Harbour. So Holiday..... then back to Fishing Trips.....On Saturday 31/8 a Hire rod party again had good sport catching Tope and a Specimen sized Undulate Ray of 18lb 4oz for Gary Gunning from Swindon, another personal best. Sunday 1/9 saw us pushing further offshore to a lovely mark only accessible on real neap tides off the Jurassic Coast. A great day's fishing was had by the three regulars, Kev the Chippie, Johnnie the Brickie and his mate Gary from Southampton who were joined by six Hire rod Anglers including two who drove from Birmingham ! We had Conger to 40lb plus, an Undulate for Johnnie of 12lb 8oz plus several other good ones lost by the Hire rod lads ('patience lads, take your time, don't try and winch them in'.....How many times did I say it !!!) , good Bream in good numbers nudging the 3lb mark, Tub and Red Gurnard, Tope, Doggies, Pout, Whiting, Scad, Mackerel, and a big edible crab.....to name just a few of the many species we landed......'Hectic !'.....as Kev the Chippie said.....! Then a Youth Club trip on Monday for the Townsend Youth ......good lads and we caught fish.....again......I keep saying it and eventually it will sink in......'Anyone Can Fish' on 'Just Mary'......AND catch fish.....listen and you will learn.....and come back for more.....!
