Report on-board Supanova II
Well my first year in the Chartering world is nearly over!! What a cracking year it has been too!
A massive thanks to all who ventured out on Supanova this year, I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I have.
Those of you who didn't come on board this year but ventured out on other boats from Weymouth, a massive thanks must go to you also for supporting the town.
The fishing over the last few weeks has been frantic but unfortunately very few boats have ventured out to brave it. Those that have managed to get their lads down through the snow and out fishing have seen some cracking catches of whiting with the numbers in their hundreds, a few christmas bonus bass still lurking around and already showing are the winter Pollack on the wrecks!!
Fingers crossed fo an exciting 2011.
Merry Christmas and a fishy New Year.
Lyle

Report on-board Rapid Fisher
The recent snow didn't dampen spirits aboard Rapid Fisher's tenth trip to famous Isle of Wight cod grounds. After spending an hour clearing snow we were quickly under way at a steady 19 knots. As the boat settled at anchor we were into good size whiting which remained constant throughout the day. I am pleased to report that we found the COD AGAIN which makes our success rate 10/10. Seen here is Paul with a fine 16lber.
Don't delay contact Paul to book a cod trip, you won't be disappointed!
