Report on-board Silver Spray II
The weather in the second half of February has meant that we have only managed 4 trips this month but when we have managed to get out the fishing has been excellent. The blonde rays and congers have continued with double figure spurdogs not uncommon. The ground that we have been fishing 15 miles from Poole has now got one more claim to fame being the first spot where we have had all 5 main species of ray: blonde, spotted, undulate, thornback and small eyed in one month. Within the next couple of weeks, hopefully with better weather, we will see the first wreck trip of the year for Pollack and the beginning of the plaice and turbot fishing down on the shambles bank off Portland. When the temperature on land picks up a little bit more we can start towing for sand eels on the shambles to take with us on the wreck trips to use as live baits.
We have now been to the Shambles and caught our first plaice and turbot. More importantly we got some eels and had a great day on the Pollack with 60+ fish to 15lb more of that next month. View Boats Page

Report on-board Rapid Fisher
A recent trip to a set of offshore banks produced a red letter day for one lucky angler. After a steady steam at 19 knots we arrived at a set of banks about 25 miles offshore. The anchor dropped and hooks baited we waited full of anticipation. Sure enough the tell tale nod of the rod tip and we knew we were in the right spot. Lifting into the bite Gareth knew he had connected with a big beast! Sure enough 30 minutes later a blonde ray of 24lbs was bought onboard. After a quick photo she was returned to fight another day. Gareth baited up again and lowered his carefully prepared squid bait and within minutes he was into another good fish. A lengthy battle ensued and Gareth bought another huge blonde to the net. Pictured here is the result, a fine blonde of 26lbs which was returned to fight another day.

Report on-board Rapid Fisher
With a break in the weather we pushed offshore to set of banks which has been known to throw up a few surprises! After half a dozen good size congers Richard shouted that he had hooked something different. After several crashing dives a plump 14 1/2 lb pollock was safely netted.
Not to be outdone yours truely hooked into a cracking Blonde which tipped the scales at just over 20lbs.
