Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3
Hi
After a long lay off the green light to start chartering on the 29th March with 6 anglers following Covid guidance, as I have not seen my family and missed 2 x 40th birthdays and 1 engagement I am starting on Monday 12th April which falls in line with more businesses opening up inc accommodation, if you would like to spend time on the water catching the sporting Black Bream please call me as spaces are going fast. As the summer species arrive we will be putting plenty of Bass, wreck and the Shark trips, last summer / autumn we spotted Tuna off our coast so there is always a chance one may take a bait being offered for another species. What an experience that would be. Lately during the weaker tides we have had some good fun on the Spurdogs now our attention turns to Turbot for the lead up to Easter.
Please call for availability

Report on-board Flamer IV
My first trip of 2021 was the Sakuma/Flamer IV Fish of the Month 2020 winners final.
In breezy North to North Easterly winds causing a choppy sea we fished in shelter of the land.
The fishing was steady most of the day with 9 different species being caught which were Whiting, Congers, Undulate Ray, Thornback Ray, Blonde Ray, Starry Smooth Hounds, Bull Huss and the usual Pouts and Dogfish.
Ian Youngs had the best fish of the day, with a 14Ib Undulate Ray (pictured)
The score sheet was close with only an 18 point difference between 4th and 1st place.
Winner was Paul Milkins 147 points, Runner Up was Kevin Clark 135 points.
A Big Thank you to Sakuma for sponsoring the monthly prizes and goodie bags for the final.
The anglers also got the Flamer IV fish of the Month badges awarded to them. View Boats Page

The weather gods were kind to us to with unbelievable fishing from the moment the anchor hit the seabed we were blessed with fish all day many double and triple shots of whiting and dogfish combos, a Smoothhound took Pete for a walk around the boat, the quality of the fish coming onboard was well above average with the best whiting at 4lb. As we were about to come home we found out that my area had entered into Tier 4 so today was my last trip of the year and thank you guys for making it a special fish filled trip.
Wishing everyone a Happy New Year and a safe 2021. View Boats Page

Report on-board Flamer IV
The last trip of 2020 saw plenty of action with numerous Congers, Spurdogs, Whiting, Small Eyed Rays, Blonde Rays, Thornback Rays and the usual Dogfish. Squid and Mackerel baits proved to be most successful.
70 year old Ian is wearing the blue coat and Sakuma cap in the picture as he needed a bit of help holding up the lively spurdog.
Lets hope all this Covid - 19 situation can be sorted asap in 2021.
Happy New Year to you all.
Thanks for your continued support, All The Best, Colin, Flamer IV View Boats Page

A nice trip fishing at anchor on two Bank marks to the east of Weymouth. Just as we had started fishing on the first mark lots of common dolphins came to join us, a lovely sight.
Over the next few hours the anglers caught several Spurdogs in the 12Ib to 15Ib 8oz range along with Tope, Bull Huss, Blonde Rays, Spotted Rays, Small Eyed Rays, Congers, Whiting and the usual Dogfish.
Squid and Mackerel cocktail baits being the most successful.

Report on-board Lady Margaret
With a combination of COVID 19 lockdown and unsettled weather we have not been doing as much fishing as hoped this month which is a shame as the fishing has been great! We have been going to sea with two on board to take advantage of the good fishing.
We haven't seen any cod on the trips but there have been plenty of nice whiting about to nearly 3lb. In addition there have been some nice sized blonde rays and lots of Conger eels. There have also been some nice bass around with several 6lb+ fish being released along with a few smaller ones.
Closer in there have been beautifully conditioned plaice to over 2lb, flounder, sole, red mullet, smoothhound and more bass. You literally do not know what fish you are going to catch next.
Wishing everyone a happy festive period after such a troubled year... View Boats Page

Report on-board Lady Margaret
The fishing continues to be good. We have spent the month concentrating our efforts on plaice and bass.
The plaice fishing has been steady and there have been plenty of nice sized fish landed along with gurnards and black bream. There have also been some big shoals of mackerel around on occasion.
The bass fishing has been very good. Lots of smaller fish around as there has been all year but also some bigger fish in the 8lb and 9lb class. Some particularly frenetic sessions have seen all rods playing bass at the same time.
Next month will see us turning our attention to winter species. This month has seen the weather turn more unsettled so hopefully we will get some settled spells over the winter. View Boats Page

The latest set of COVID measures have changed my operation to only taking 1 angler , it seems strange to have so much room but if it sorts the problem then it is worth it. The weather has not been brilliant but we have managed a few days fishing for Whiting, Rays and Bass and have been successful but as usual with fishing something comes up you were not expecting and this year it is the late run of Mackeral being caught this week string fulls all the time more than I have seen all season a real bonus. Once the wind drops out the Whiting fishing will be coming into its best so if you fancy the boat to yourself please give me a call, full social distancing measures are in place and a scanning card is onboard for track n trace.
