    Report on-board Silver Spray II

    Fished with Sam on Silver Spray on Saturday 3rd August. Every now and again you have one of those red-letter days, and this was certainly one of them. The day was meant to be a mix of bass fishing, with tope over the slack.
    We had a few bass to live baits in the morning, and then the lures started to produce results. At slack water we tried for a bonus turbot or ray, but then the tide turned, and the bass really came on the feed. Every type of lure and every colour seemed to work! By the end of the day we all had our one "keeper" each, but the afternoon session never stopped. I would say we must have been close to 100 bass in total for the day. Great skipper, great boat, good company, and the best days fishing I've had in years. Cheers Sam.

    The Banks have been producing some good fishing for Turbot, Brill and Rays - with Blonde, Small Eyed, Undulate, Thornback and Spotted Rays all being caught.

    The Reefs have also been producing some good fishing for Black Bream, Tope, Rays, Congers and Bull Huss. We also had our first "Shark Attack" of the year were we had a Porebeagle Shark on for 15 minutes which made some searing runs before the end tackle gave up, great fun to watch though.

    Report on-board Silver Spray II

    Where to start with the last 4 weeks? It seems like we have done so many different things, this variety is one of the strengths of fishing from Poole. We will start inshore and the arrival of the mackerel in better numbers seems to have encouraged the rays to come on a bit stronger. Undulates and blondes being the main target with a few other spotties and thornbacks dotted about. One short evening trip saw us land so many undulates we broke the golden rule and moved off the fish, only to be rewarded with even more rays at the next mark. Many of the inshore marks for rays are covered in tiny bream at the moment so you should check your baits frequently as often anglers are just left with skin on the hook after the bream have pecked all the meat off it. Good for the future stocks of one of our main species. On the drift the plaice fishing has been awesome with fish coming to the net regularly to the 3lb plus mark, this type of fishing should continue until October so plenty of time to get booked on if you fancy a crack at them. Last week we had such a frantic day that we fished until we ran out of bait. The plaice fed pretty the whole day long, even when we were drifting at 2 knots. Great fun on the spinning rods and good to see the lads putting so many back for future trips. Bass fishing continues to show signs of improvement this year with plenty of fish still taking the lures on the banks, again good fun on lighter tackle when accompanied with a couple of hours fishing at anchor for the tope with the heavy stuff. Freelining and float fishing has also started well with Tony Methvan landing only his second ever bass at just over 8lb, we will be doing more on the floats and freeline in the coming weeks. The shark fishing is under way for this year and we have a few spaces on trips starting in early August, all our encounters so far have come on tope or conger gear so you’re never guaranteed to get the fish the surface. Hopefully we can hook into one on suitable tackle soon. Tight Lines for the coming weeks!!!
