FLAMER IV FISHY NEWS
MARCH 2013 - "SODS LAW" Graham Gardner age 59 from Colchester had not long recovered from a hernia operation,was on his first fishing trip since his operation.I said to Graham "Sods Law says you will get the biggest fish" Sure enough that it was happened.First Graham caught a 40Ib Conger eel and then followed that with a superb 26Ib Cod. Graham was using 20Ib class tackle with a pennel rig baited with Ammo squid and mackerel.Of course I kept asking Graham if he was ok while he was trying to land the two big fish.Graham is pictured with his 26Ib Cod

MARCH 2013 - Wrecking trips have produced some good Pollack fishing of late.On my most recent wreck trip some Ling were also caught on Lures.Colin Leadbeater from Bristol landing the biggest Ling weighing 20Ib.Colin was using a Shakespeare 20Ib class Ugly Stick rod with a flying collar rig and a silver sidewinder lure.Colin is pictured with his 20Ib Ling. Ling Fishing should now improve as we go into March and although we catch them on lures the favourite way of fishing for them is on a slow drift or at anchor with squid and mackerel baits.
So if you fancy getting a "TUG ON YOUR TACKLE" from a Ling then Book your Place/s Now.

Report on-board Supanova II
Hi all,
Well February was definitely at the mercy of the weather. Continuous Northeast winds put pay to allot of trips but when ever there was a small break and we managed to get out the fishing was very good indeed. Most trips were Mid Channel after the Pollack. Catches were very good every day with all on board going home with a nice bag of fillets each day. I would say the average size of fish is a little down on last year but all the fish are fit and healthy and certainly put a good ben in your rod!
The lure of the moment seems to be the bubble gum pink Red Gill evolutions. These latest editions to the Red Gill Family really are the lure of the moment regardless of colour. They seem to last well and on their day out fish live sandeels.
I also have some of the New Snowbee Super Skad lures on board and these were used this weekend for the first time and matched the red gills fish for fish so be worth sticking some in your box for next time.
I now have the full range of Snowbee deep blue rods on board so next time your out and you fancy try with one just let me know.
Towards the end of February we did try and experimental look at the Shambles and to be fair conditions were against us with coloured water and not allot of tide. We still managed four which was very encouraging indeed.
Focus over the next few weeks will still be the Pollack mid Channel and more Turbot and Plaice fishing.
If you fancy a day and cant see a date that suits on my schedule then give me a bell/text 07976876667.
Tight lines and thanks to all who continue to support Weymouth.

MARCH 2013 - An offshore wrecking trip on a cold March day produced some good Pollack fishing.Pick of the bunch was Flamer IV regular Russell Salmon who caught several Pollack and also beat his Personal Best with a 14 Pounder (pictured).During the early part of trip a variety of all the usual lures were used but the best lure on the day proved to be bubble gum pink red gills which accounted for the majority of the Pollack. Certainly this is the time of the year to catch Big Pollack.
SO DON'T MISS OUT.
On the same trip Trevor Pegg was not catching but with some advice from me and fellow angler Peter Gillett he managed to put a few fish together.So as the saying goes "every little helps". Certainly at times the Pollack will be be caught on certain colour and type lures but in a change of tide or a day later another type/colour lure will produce the best catches.So always keep a good selection of lures with you.
I look forward to seeing you all soon an Flamer IV. Thanks for your Support. View Boats Page

Report on-board Silver Spray II
We are now into that quiet part of the year where if you are unlucky with the weather you might find a lot of your trips cancelled, which has been the case quite a lot lately. The inshore fishing for whiting and cod tailed off a little early this year, I put this down to a lack of settled weather, January isn’t renowned for being the best month weather wise but it’s been worse than usual. To keep the rods bending I decided to utilize our offshore fishing on the banks, even though you can’t sit it out all day on the stronger tides you can still head out for a couple of hours either side of slack in search of some different species. As you saw in last month’s report the rays and spurdogs were there in abundance and I’m happy to say it was much the same again this month, the brief period between the inshore fishing grinding to a halt and the wrecking for pollack leaves us with just the neap tides to head out to the offshore marks. Best fish in the last couple weeks goes to Gary Holmes with his new boat record undulate ray of 19lb 4oz, the ray took a mackerel bait just after slack water on a rough ground mark 15 miles off.
Even though it’s a bit earlier than usual with two nice days of settled weather this week I decided to get the first couple of wreck trips of the year under my belt. There were plenty of pollack to be had, all of a nice fat healthy stamp due to the numerous shoals of sprats and scad hovering around the wrecks. Whilst fishing a wreck just before slack water we had a big surprise in the form of a new boat record ling. Andy Deacon was fishing half a pout for a conger when the monster took the bait, after fifteen minutes of scrapping with the fish on his 15-20lb class ugly stick it hit the surface. Weighing in at 31lb 4oz it is certainly the biggest ling I’ve seen in my career so far, well done to Andy what a fish!!! View Boats Page

WRECKING for POLLACK - during February and March is the time to fish for Big Pollack and recent wreecking trips have proved this with plenty of double figure Pollack being caught.Quite a few anglers have broken their personal bests.The Pollack have been caught on a variety of lures rhubarb and custard sidewinders,also white and blue ones,Jelly worms,and of course the good old red gill still does the business.Robin Amor landed several Pollack using a jelly worm tipped with a ragworm "Never seen that done before"but it worked.Pictured is Flamer IV regular Phil Harrison with the 16Ib Pollack he landed which was his Personal Best. Phil's successful lure was a pink redgill.

Report on-board Supanova II
Well.... Supanova II is now happily bobbing round in Weymouth after completing sea trials. The home leg of the journey from Portsmouth to Weymouth saw gusting winds in excess of 35knts which is the best part of a gale and she handles absolutely amazingly. Proving what an outstanding platform she is for angling.
The last couple of days has seen the maiden trips out which have both been nothing short of an absolute pleasure. The first trip was for a few friends and family that have helped along the way with Supanova II. The chosen specie was the hard fighting Pollack that inhabit the mid channel wrecks at this time of year.
After a pleasant cruise at 17knts and a little over an hour and a half later we were at our first location and we were into fish from the off, this continued steadily all day with most fish in the 8-14lb range they really put up a good account of themselves. A couple of moves to look for the biggie also produced fish and on the penultimate drift Kevin Turner smashed his PB by over 6lb and landed this cracker of 20lb 2oz (pictured)! Well done Kev!
THe second day was the first trip proper, the fishing was a little slow but a move another 10 miles further on made all the difference, the fishing was crazy and by half one the lads had enough fish for the table so they asked if we could get in early to watch the rugby. We took a steady plod home while crewman Ryan filleted down the fish all ready for the lads tables!
Feb and March really are the best time to bag a big PB Pollack so if you fancy a day on the all new Supanova II get in touch!
Thanks to all again for their continued support to the port.
Tight lines,

WRECKING TRIP - My first wrecking trip of 2013 had two shifts,in the morning a steady stream of Pollack were caught on a variety of lures with Phil Harrison landing the biggest weighing 12Ib 8oz(Pictured).But the afternoon shift forgot to turn up with only the occassional Pollack being caught after change in tide direction.The wonders of fishing I guess.
NOW is the time to catch a big Pollack and Ling should start to show soon. - SO DON'T MISS OUT.
