Report on-board Supanova II
Well.............................. The wind has blown pretty hard as i'm sure your all aware with the back end of the Hurricanes hitting the british coast. The latter part of this week has seen a lul and a group of anglers from Suffolk managed to get their three day trip from Weymouth on Supanova in!
The lads come every year on various boats. What a cracking bunch of guys and some good anglers too.
Over the three days the lads managed to boat many different species including Bass, Bream, Turbot, Brill, Plaice, Cod, Conger, Huss, Red and Tub Gurnard, Ballan and Cuckoo Wrasse, Pollack but much to scarfeys dismay NO grey Gurnard!!!
It seems as though the wind has improved all the fishing, long may it continue!
Tight lines chaps! View Boats Page

Report on-board Rapid Fisher
Although the forecast was for clear skies & light winds the weather gods obviously didn't listen to the met office!!!! Rapid Fisher left the harbour with 9 hardy souls on board looking for that "something special".
After about an hour we had only managed to get a dozen mackerel so rather than waste more time we threw the hook in at our chosen spot. After a couple of demonstrations by yours truly & Alex (skipper of Predator II) on how to mount the perfect bait all lines were lowered into the water. After 10 minutes a tell tale nod was seen on one of the rods. Keen to show his best Robson Green impression, Baggy, struck into the fish far too early resulting in nothing more than spoiling a free dinner for Mr Ray!!!
After several more missed bites and the mackerel running low we headed to another mark. Alex changed all the rigs over to small hooks & showed everyone how to bait the worm onto the hook. A few small wrasse were caught but we decided to try and drift between the piers for some plaice.
After arriving at the chosen spot Alex managed to get a rod in the water bait with a nice juicy ragworm. It wasn't long before the cry of "net" was heard and a nice trigger fish came to the surface. After a quick picture the fish was returned and the hook rebaited. Again a cry for the net was shouted and sure enough Alex had another trigger!
After rebaiting everyones hooks more crys for the net were heard around the boat and after 10 hectic minutes a total of 6 trigger fish was boated. All fish were returned after a quick photo. Pictured here is Alex with the biggest of the day. View Boats Page

Report on-board Supanova II
Hi all,
A while since the last report.
Fishing throughout July and early August has proved a little tricky at times! Although catches have still been pretty steady.
The Bass have been very slow in showing unfortunately but over the next set of spring tides we should hopefully see their return in some reasonable numbers.
The breaming on it's day has been superb, wit fish quite frequently in the 3-4lb bracket, with an angler on another Weymouth boat taking a fish of 6lb 1oz just three days a go!
The plaice fishing has been superb on the mussel beds with many fish of specimen size. July- October is the time to get a big Plaice. How many places can you go in the country and be in with a reaistic chance of a Plaice over 6lb's?
The shambles and other sand banks to the west of Portland have continued to produce Turbot and Brill with some sessions producing up to 20 fish!
Among the reefs sport is continuing with masses of Gurnards, Good Huss, Tope and Congers.
The wrecks are fairly quiet, with most boats sticking to the more productive inshore fishing, however those venturing out are finding one or two cod still lurking around, odd pollack and bass. The best of the wreck sport has been on the anchor with some good congers to 70lb the odd ling and some monster bream!
The next month should hopefully bring better numbers of Bass and Bream, continued turbot and brill, and hopefully the long awaited rod bending blonde rays!!
Tight lines all!
