Report on-board Flamer IV
Colin Scarlett and friends enjoyed a day fishing at anchor catching plenty of Tope,Rays,Conger and the occassional Dog Fish. Squid and Mackerel were used as bait and presnted on pennel or single Sakuma Manta hooks. All the fish were returned alive. Pictured is Andy Morley with a 15Ib Undulate Ray.

Report on-board Flamer IV
A lovely day saw the Top Cat team have a good mornings fishing and took quite a big lead but the Flamer IV team rallyed in the afternoon and the competition ended a draw. 2008 was the last time a Top Cat team beat a Flamer IV team, so I let Ivan take the trophy home this time to look at for the next year.
Kevin Clark caught the most Plaice and the biggest on Flamer IV. Next years date will be announced soon.

Report on-board Silver Spray II
What a difference it makes having a summer for a change? Flat calm mornings and just a slight sea breeze in the afternoon have been the conditions of recent weeks and it has led to no cancelled trips at all. Its amazing how much wildlife you see with a sustained period of good weather like this, thresher sharks jumping out of the water, pods of dolphins showing off their best tricks and sunfish splashing around on the surface to name but a few. With the smaller tides we have mostly been fishing long distance from Poole either wreck fishing or multi day trips. Notable fish include Barry Gollop’s 19lb 4oz Pollock which took a mackerel flapper at anchor, the biggest I’ve seen since 2012. We managed 3 John dory’s in a week with the biggest going to Steve Lysaght at 5lb 8oz, interestingly enough the first one we caught and Steve’s fish were 76 miles apart in total, quite some distance covered. Skipper Sam managed to break our own coalfish record for the second time this year fishing on a 100 gram slow jigging rod for Pollock. The fish weighed in at 16lb and gave an epic scrap on the lighter tackle. Closer to home the inshore fishing has been brilliant with plenty of mackerel around for fresh bait. The quality of the tope fishing has been outstanding with fishing averaging about 20lb and up to 45lb. We have some big fish days coming up next week if anyone is interested in getting stuck in. On the bigger tides of this last weekend we had some fun on the bass, although disappointed not to be able to keep a couple for the table we managed plenty of good fish for the sport of it, Kevin Griffiths equalled his PB with a nice 8lb 8oz fish. Using circle and weedless hooks we minimised damage to the fish to zero with all fish swimming off strongly for another year. Looking forward to the plaice fishing picking up next month and some more sessions on the tope, it won’t be long before we are also targeting the porbeagle sharks which are showing in abundance in other parts of the country.

Some nice pollock started turning up again on the reefs, all within 6 miles of the harbour. So a typical day is drifting the reefs with lures then on the anchor for bream and tope. Dare I say the fishing is picking up nicely but the mackerel are very scarce

Report on-board Just Mary
Hi All, with the lovely calm and hot conditions continuing we are able to push offshore on the Neap tides and yesterday afternoon found us three miles South of the Jurassic Coast on the 32's. After Mackerel in the morning and a few Rays in close we pushed South for the afternoon. Using fresh mackerel and other frozen baits we landed Undulate Ray, Congers and Tope for a mixed group of 'own gear' and 'hire rod' Anglers. An enjoyable day in good company and in glorious weather with flat calm seas only interrupted by the Gin Palaces that seem to want to get as close to us as they can without paying whilst wasting enormous amounts of fuel ! Long may the weather continue.....and the fishing.....ta Malc
