    Report on-board Flamer IV

    Chris Harris and friends joined Flamer IV for their annual 5 day Angling Break, we managed to fish 4 out of the 5 days because the last day was cancelled because it was just too windy. We did sessions on Reefs and Banks at anchor and drifting and despite a nagging easterly wind on most of the days the group managed to catch some good fish and plenty of species - Black Bream, Turbot, Brill, Bass, Undulate Rays, Thornback Rays, Blonde Rays, Spotted Rays, Gurnards, Tope, Congers etc. Special mentions for Mark Cooper who caught three Undulate Rays in one session and Bruce Dellow caught a hat trick of Brill. The guys returned the majority of the fish they caught including the 6Ib Bass, just keeping a few Black Bream and one Turbot to eat,"Well Done Guys". Of course the social side of their Angling Break is always important, with good banter on the boat and the guys frequenting pubs and restaurants in the evenings, all adds to the fun of the few days away. The group have booked again for 2020.
    Pictured is Mark Cooper with his 14Ib 8oz Undulate Ray,the biggest of the three he caught.

    Weymouth Angling Breaks - Book Now, Don't miss Out, *** NOW TAKING BOOKINGS FOR next year ***
    A few days away fishing out of Weymouth along with the social side is a nice trip to do.The variety of fishing and the amount of different species caught at Weymouth is probably second to none.There are plenty of places to stay which are angler friendly and some excellent places to wine and dine around the harbour and in Weymouth Town centre.If you want to try a Weymouth Angling Break then contact me, I cater for whole boat charters and individuals.

  • 10/09/2019 Fishing Report by Philip Higgins on Mistress Linda / San Gina3 (Poole, Dorset)

    Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3

    The last couple of weeks have seen a few small Cod caught including a double shot for Malcolm, but the highlight has been when Alan Cook bought to the side of the boat a new boat record Thresher Shark weighing between 200 and 250lb, the fish was released without being removed from the water but we did get very wet in the process. Closer to shore Plaice have been plentiful and in amongst the small ones we have found many up to 2lb 6ozs the only issue is the presence of small bait robbing bream which strip the hooks with military precision but this bodes well for the future.

    Report on-board Flamer IV

    Lee Warlow and members of the "Master Baiters SAC" from Swansea enjoyed their two day Angling Break aboard Flamer IV and caught 22 species over the two days which included Turbot, Black Bream, Small Eyed Ray, Undulate Ray, Bass, Bull Huss, Congers, Red Gurnard, Plaice etc. The guys did well on day 1 in breezy and choppy conditions catching Black Bream, Turbot and Rays while drift fishing. The weather was better on day 2 but the guys had to be patient as the fish were playing hard to get as we anchored a few reef marks and did some drift fishing.

    Flamer IV catch of the day trophies were awarded to Lee Warlow on day one and Zac on day two, they were both pleased with their trophies.

    The club have already booked for April 2020 with a days Wreck fishing and a Flat Fish day planned.

    Pictured is Lee with one of the six Turbot which he caught while drifting a Bank using a two hook flowing trace with Mackerel strips as bait presented on Sakuma size 4/0 Stinger hooks.
