Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3
With the settled weather we have had the fishing has improved with plenty of good quality Bass being landed during the hardest part of the tide then as it eases our attentions have turned to Plaice making for an enjoyable days fishing, the best of the Plaice season is just starting with catches of 100 plus fish per trip. Whilst fishing for Plaice many anglers have landed bonus fish Turbot, Brill , Sole, John Dory and Cod just to keep things interesting. On the outer banks there has been some good sport with 30lb class Tope and Bull Huss to 15lb giving the anglers a work out on light gear the hardest part of this fishing has been getting enough fresh mackeral which seem more illusive each year. On yesterdays trip we set a new boat record in getting 15 PBs for the crew including a 1st for Martyn with a 6lb Cod whilst Bream fishing at anchor. Today is a day off for me as my crew have gone into isolation to ensure their safety allowing me time to catch up on reports like this.

Fishing Report by John Peck
on Lady Margaret (Poole, Dorset)

Report on-board Lady Margaret
The fishing continues to be good. Again, we have been concentrating mainly on the inshore drifting and have been catching plaice in good numbers. There was a bit of a blip mid month where bigger fish became more scarce but the end of the month produced some fine fishing. No really big plaice were caught during the month but we had a good number of fish between 2lb and 3lb.
One of the nice things about late summer inshore fishing is the number of different species featuring in the catches. Tub Gurnards and black bream feature in nearly every trip but we have had some unusual species including Conger eels, gilthead bream and some big red mullet.
We haven't done much bass fishing and when we have the results have been a bit mixed. Lots of small fish around but the bigger ones continue to elude us although we have had a good number of medium weight fish to 6lb.
The mackerel are very scarce and even the inshore plaice fishing trips have not produced many latety. Fishing with feathers is most likely to produce scad at the moment.
We have only fished one very short session at anchor which produced wrasse and pouting. View Boats Page

Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3
As the tides build in strength we have targeted Bass and have they given the team plenty of sport, yesterday the conditions were perfect, no wind beautiful blue skies and fish, these were nearly all well over size limits. During several drifts all the anglers plus myself all hooked up making for some great video and all bar 3 fish being returned. Today promised to be good with perfect conditions but this soon gave way to a fresh breeze causing the boat to go across the tide, the catch rate was well below yesterday but for Chris Bowden to set a new PB Bass of 12lb 10ozs
