13th, 14th June, what a briliant weekend for the weather, shame the small tides made the fish difficult to keep on the feed, we still managed a good number of bream and three undulate rays between 13lb and 14lb. With weather that good everyone enjoyed themselves, let there be many more.

Yesterday, 30th May, saw the best bream to the boat this year, a fish of 4lb 10oz to Lionel from Holland. It was his first bream, caught on his first drop of the day, before most others had tackled up! That’s the way to start, but difficult to repeat. The rest of the lads did their best to beat him and though they had fish all day and a number of double hits of bream up to 3lb couldn’t do so. The month has been good with a variety of species including tope, smoothounds, pollack, cod, some huge garfish, bass, even topknots and cuttlefish to mention a few. The weekend just gone saw mackerel around in reasonable numbers and a good showing of joeys amongst them so next month should see bass over the wrecks and reefs to livebaits. Looking forward to next month with more good bream, bass, tope and hounds inshore and for those wanting to travel cod, pollack and bass on the drift and conger etc at anchor on the wrecks.

I was fortunate enough to be on board Andrew Allsop's new Evolution 30 (White Water) which was launched by Breaksea Boats, fitted with an Iveco NEF 420hp engine, the performance exceeded my expectations; with 650 litres of fuel and six onboard it achieved 30 knots!
Predator II will have the same Iveco NEF 420hp engine and will be lauched at the end of July. I still have limited weekend dates in August & September for either whole boat charters or individuals. View Boats Page

MICK LINGS IN A TURBOT - Mick and his crew decided to go wrecking instead of doing the intended flatty trip.A steady stream of cod,pollack and a bass had been caught by the afternoon.So the next target was ling.Some ling had started to be caught up to 15Ib when Mick's rod bent into a fish which we assumed was a ling.What a surprise when a big turbot was landed.Bearing in mind Mick had not caught a fish all day up to that point and had been getting a bit of *iss taking from his mates.The turbot weighed 16Ib 12oz and the successful bait was whole calamari squid.
