WEST COUNTRY TRIP 20-24 MAY.Trevor Pegg wrote - This was my first experience of Colin,s West Country trip which started with us sailing from Weymouth to our base in Dartmouth picking up some wrecking along the way. With good weather, the following day was ideal for drifting for plaice which saw over 40 fish to the boat. A great bonus is not having to drive long distances after a day,s fishing and the social side with good company is excellent. A good variety of fish were caught with ling to 20lbs and a couple of "firsts" for me. As ever you need to be lucky with the weather but this really is a trip with a difference and to be recommended. Thanks Colin for all your efforts to keep us on fish.
Skippers Reponse: Thanks Trevor, I am glad you enjoyed the West Country Trip and hope you book on again next year.

Report on-board Just Mary
'Oceans Eleven' - 'Onamission' Reunion - Saturday 25th May 2013. One of Eleven Anglers onboard our spacious 35 foot Angling Charter Boat 'Just Mary' from Poole today was my old friend Kevin Gardner. Fishing with me for over ten years, since the early 'Mary Anne' days, Kev's loyalty and our perseverance was rewarded with this prime condition male Black Bream of 3lb 2oz. Also landed from the Same Reef Mark that we fished All Day were further Black Bream, Mackerel in good numbers, Garfish, Pout, Wrasse, Plaice and Dogfish. Bait for this Quality Fish was a single calamari squid presented on a flowing trace with Shimano rod and reel and braid mainline. 'No Fish - No Fee' not needed ! All eleven onboard left for home after their trip with fish fit for the table. After a slow start to the season quality Specimen fish like this one are a welcome sight so was that big yellow thing in the sky (!)..... See you soon !
Many thanks to my old friend Chris Clark for sending this report and photo to the Southampton Evening Echo who published this on Thursday 30th May prompting several phone calls from some of my old Southampton customers.....thanks Chris.....all the best ! Malc..... View Boats Page

Report on-board Silver Spray II
First Cherbourg trip of the year completed. Nice weather and a top group of lads certainly makes the multi day trips easier even before you start fishing. It was nice to see all the lads getting stuck into some good fish over the 3 days with bass ling cod and pollock all making an appearance in varying quantities. The only problem came with the mackerel....we had a grand total of 3 over the trip which was not helpful when it came to fishing over slack water. Still its another 3 weeks until my next one so i expect they will have arrived in more numbers by then.

Off to Cherbourg for the first time this year tomorrow. Cod starting to show up in numbers, few bass and plenty of pollock so should be a good trip fingers crossed. Awesome day on the place yesterday with plenty of 3lb+ fish hitting the deck the biggest at just under 5lb.Second Alderney trip was hampered by weather last week but we perseverred and it came good in the end.

Report on-board Silver Spray II
A few photos from the this last week, as you can see some stunning weather to go with some good fishing. The first big hit of bream came on friday with a good selection of males and females of all sizes up to about 2lb 8oz. A couple of late spur dogs from slack water on thursday was a bit of a surprise to round off some good sized pollock and a few cod off the wrecks. Another first for this summer was Dave Faulkners bass weighing a respectable 5lb.

Report on-board Flamer IV
FLAMER IV NEWS - During April the Plaice catches gradualy improved as the weather got better and the water clarity also got better.The biggest Plaice caught on Flamer IV was a six pounder landed by Mark Towner(pictured) which also won him Flamer IV Fish of the Month for April.The Turbot fishing was patchy which I put down to the well below water temperature for the time of year. The best Turbot of thge month was a 13Ib fish caught by Richard Christian. Two Flatty Competitions were done againsat other boats with the Flamewr IV Teams losing one and winning one.The inshore Reef/Bank fishing produced some excellent Spurdogs up to 18Ib and Blonde Rays up to 25Ib . Other species caught were Thornback,Undulate and Spoitted Rays.Smooth Hounds,Conger,Bull Huss etc.The wrecking produced Pollack and Ling.
During May we can expect the Cod to arrive on the wrecks and Summer species like Black Bream,Tope,Mackerel etc to show up.I am sure the flatty fishing will continue to be good.
On May 20th I am doing a 5 day West Country Trip and there is one place available for anyone that would like to join a group of individuals for this fishing/social trip.INTERESTED ? then contact me for details.
THANKS for all your support and I hope to see you on Flamer IV soon. View Boats Page
