MAY 2012 - Mark Laker and friends from Kent joined Flamer IV for a two day angling break.The first day was spent offshore wrecking and numerous Pollack were caught along with a cod and some monster pouts.The fish came on a variety of lures but the rhubarb and custard sidewinder again proved to be the best one.Unfortunatley for Mark he was a blanker on the day not catching a fish all day.Matt Hayes landed the best Pollack which weighed 12Ib with the lucky lure being a pink red gill.Matt is pictured with his Pollack.Day 2/ was breezy with a few showers about,first a session at anchor produced plenty of Bull Huss,Dogfish and Pouts,even Mark caught plenty of these.Then we drifted the Shambles Bank for Turbot but on this occassion the Turbot were not hungry,such is fishing,I'm sure we will have them next time.The lads enjoyed their stay in Weymouth and their trips out on Flamer IV.

MAY 2012 - Owen Poplett and crew from Sussex enjoyed a mixed days fishing aboard Flamer IV the day after a storm.Amazingly the sea state was very good and the sun came out,however the water was very cloudy and coloured up so the majority of the days fishing was done at anchor on a bank and a reef.Several species were caught including a 10Ib Small Eyed Ray and a 4Ib 12oz Spotted ray both caught by Paul Francis.A conger and several good size Spurdogs and Smooth Hounds and the usual dogs and pouts.A couple of drifts were done which produced two plaice and a dab.Most of the lads landed their first and/or Personal Best Spurdogs.Owen landed the biggest Spur which weighed 17Ib with the successful bait being two Ammo calamari squid.All the Spurs and smooth hounds were released alive.Owen is pictured with his big Spur.
MAY - during the next month there are a variety of trips planned on Flamer IV including Reef,Bank,Wreck and Flatty Fishing with lots of trips for individuals.

Fishing Report by Lyle Stantiford
on Supanova II (Weymouth, Dorset)

Report on-board Supanova II
Well what a bleak couple of weeks it has been with the weather!! We did manage to scrape a day earlier this week where yet again the Turbot fishing proved magical with 3 of the 5 lads on board catching PB's. Firstly Ian Robson bagged a PB of 9lb 8oz, Ian has been fishing since my very first season in action in Weymouth and has been a constant pleasure to have on board and i'm chuffed that he was rewarded with a lovely fish.
Second to break his PB was sparrow, sparrow is fairly new to flatfish fishing and only started venturing out this year but already he has managed to land Brill to 6lb, Plaice to 4lb and now a cracking Turbot of 12lb.
Last but no means least was Paul Norman form Essex, some of you may recognise Paul from his own Charter Boat TRYA running out of Walton on the Naze. Paul managed to land a cracker of 14lb 8oz (pictured) but unfortunately lost a better fish that I can honestly say may have broken the boat record of 22lb 4oz but unfortunately it wasn't to be!
Never mind back to the decorating for me now!
Looks good for friday and Saturday for a bit of wrecking for the Cod so fingers crossed! Due off on the first run to the channel islands next week so fingers crossed the weather lets us.
Once again many thanks to all who continue to venture to Weymouth and support the port. Tight lines if you are soon to be wetting a line.
