Report on-board Flamer IV
MAY 2011 - Some of my popular Angling Breaks have taken place during May with groups doing a few days fishing aboard Flamer IV.The latest club to take advantage of such a trip have been Swansea Breakaways Sea Angling Club.Their trip was based on flatty fishing but also did a session at anchor on a reef and a few drifts on an inshore wreck.Frank Wilson stole the show with the flatty's by catching a bril,turbot and a plaice.The other members also chipped in with a few flatty's of their own.The anchor session on a reef produced some good size bull huss with the biggest of 12Ib being caught by Steve Roper who is pictured with his bully catch.

Report on-board Supanova II
A while since the last report ladies and gents! My apologies!
April and May have proved fantastic for the flatty's as i'm sure you will see on my Gallery!!
Plaice catches were consistently in the 20's although not the number of larger fish as previous years but still great fun on the light gear. The Shambles has fished fantastically for Turbot with catches regularly into double figures on both numbers and Size. Best this month was a cracking 20lb'er captured by Nigel Daw from Bristol (pictured).
The wrecks have provided some fantastic sport for all anglers venturing out. There are plenty of Cod around now. MOstly in the 4-8lb range but most days are seeing a fist full of doubles come to the net with the odd cracker topping 20lb's.
Once again thank you all for spending that hard earned money in Weymouth and supporting the Weymouth fleet!
Tight lines,

Report on-board Predator
On a recent bream trip a lucky angler smashed the boat record for a spotted ray!! Fed up of catching bream Oz, from High Wycombe, decided to try a mackerel fillet tipped with a squid head. After seeing his friend Mark land a nice small eyed ray he watched his rod tip with renewed viggor! Sure enough 10 minutes before lines up his rod bent into a good fish. After lots of jeering from his colleages I safely slipped the net under what I new was a cracking spotted ray. After a quick photo the fish was weighed at 5lbs 6oz. The fish was returned and swam confidentally back down to where she came.

Report on-board Rocket
Fishing during May has seen good catches of Bream and also a variety of rays. Venturing offshore,Rocket has returned with some fine pollack @ 16lbs and Cod @ 18lb from the famed brittle star grounds. We are looking forward to June ,when we focus on huge hauls of Cod and Pollack from wrecks and reefs mid channel. Anyone that fishes with us will know that our wish is a 100lb Conger eel. We have come close with an 87lb,just another 13lb and its in the bag! Lets hope 2011 is the year.
ps We have just had contact with the first shark of the year. Whilst drifting a wreck,Tim Lewis from Birmingham hooked a Cod and whilst reeling in became a Porbeagle victim leaving only the head as a souvenir...bad luck
Kind regards Trevor

Report on-board Flamer IV
APRIL 2011 - FLAMER IV REPORT - "WHAT A MONTH" as excellent fish were caught throughout the month although the majority of April's trips were spent concentrating on Plaice and Turbot.Paul Milkins landed the biggest plaice weighing 6Ib 2oz closely followed by Denise Young with a 5Ib 12oz plaice.Top of the impressive Turbot catches was Trevor Lockyer with 24Ib 8oz monster then Russell Salmon with his 23 pounder.Cod started to feature inshore and on the offshore wrecks.Peter Gordon landed a 20 pounder on the mussell beds and David Bruce caught a 23Ib Cod while drifting a wreck with mackerel fillet bait.Pollack and Ling were caught on the wrecks.The inshore reef/bank fishing at anchor produced some good action with good size spurdogs,smooth hounds and rays.27 different species have been caught on Flamer IV so far in 2011.
With so many good fish caught it was a hard job choosing the Fish of the Month award.However Flamer IV Fish of the Month was awarded to Russell Salmon for his 23Ib Turbot(pictured).You may ask why Trevor Lockyer did not win it with his 24Ib 8oz Turbot,well Trevor won January Fish of the Month and had already qualified for the 2011 winners competition.
