Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3
Due to a few days of strong winds we have been restarting fishing inside probably the most beautiful and possibly the largest harbour in the world and it has been brilliant with some decent sized Plaice, Black and Gilthead Bream, Bass, Gurnard, Hounds, Mackeral and Flounders being landed along with plenty of bait robbing sized bream. Drifting the main channel during quiet periods of boat movements has been the most productive but once the main ebb tide gets away the weed has been a problem.

Report on-board Lady Margaret
The fishing during July has been a bit variable. There have been some good days with lots of fish coming aboard and some good individual fish landed. There have also been a few days when the fishing has been a bit slow. Generally the weather during the month has been favourable.
The plaice fishing remains reliable with plenty of fish around. We found the average size dropped off during the middle of the month and keepers were more difficult to come by but the fishing of the last few days has produced plenty of fish of a good average size with lots of keepers. The best plaice we landed in July was a fine fish of 4lb 4oz which is our biggest of the year so far.
There are also lots of black bream around. We landed fish to over 3lb at the start of the month but haven't been catching any big ones lately. No giltheads or couch's for us yet but the water is warm now so we may see some soon.
The bass fishing continues to be erratic. Both the ledges and the banks have produced reasonable fishing at times and also some slow fishing. We haven't landed any big fish during the last month.
The anchored fishing has produced a nice mixture of fish. There are lots of rod bending tope and congers around and quite a few rays along with the ubiquitous dogfish. View Boats Page

Report on-board Lady Margaret
The fishing is currently very good with a wide range of species available. We have also been helped by generally favourable weather. On some days the weather has been stunning.
The highlight of the recent fishing on "Lady Margaret" has definitely been the plaice fishing. There have been huge numbers of fish around on the local marks including some bigger fish in the 3lb+ range. On some sessions the fishing has been frenetic with bites coming all round the boat more similar to bream or bass fishing.
The bream fishing continues to be good. Hopefully this will carry on for a while yet as the fish were quite late establishing themselves this year. Lots of smaller fish around but also some bigger ones.
We haven't done much bass fishing this month but what we have done has been very poor which is a bit surprising as June is normally a great month. Fortunately, the great plaice fishing on the way in has come to the rescue. Hopefully this is just a blip and the bass fishing will improve soon.
We have also seen a nice variety of other species including turbot and brill, rays, conger, bull huss, double figure smoothhounds and tope to 20lb+. View Boats Page

We had our first go for the summer bream at the weekend which turned out to be quite productive with good sized fish coming to the boat biggest going 3LB 2oz as well as some nice bullhuss in amongst it. Using light gear these fish gave us great sport on a flat calm day

Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3
Fishing has been top notch the last few days with plenty of Plaice, Bream, Tope an£ Rays but today’s trip had a more sober feel to it where we said goodbye to one of my anglers and spread his ashes at sea, Mike had been a loyal customer and good friend over the years but sadly passed away his son, family and friends arranged the day in respect for their dad and had a fun days fishing and as we steamed home Mike jnr raised a glass toasted his dad Mike with his favourite tipple as we said goodbye to a real nice guy. RIP my friend and we will raise a glass this time next year.
