Fishing Report by Colin Penny
on Flamer IV (Weymouth, Dorset)

Report on-board Flamer IV
My first trip of 2018 took place with two anchor sessions on two different banks which produced some good action with Blonde Rays, Spurdogs, Conger, Whiting etc. Paul Milkins landed his Personal Best Spurdog weighing 17Ib. Rick Hawkins landed several Blonde Rays and lost a Big one, Congers and Whiting. Rick had an almighty tug on his tackle while Whiting fishing and when he reeled in a good size Whiting it had been bitten in half by a hungry fish with very sharp teeth. Pictured is Paul Milkins with his Personal Best 17Ib Spurdog.
My next Reef/Bank Trip with Places Available is on January 21st 2018 which will also be a Winter Species Competition with trophies and prizes to be won.

Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3
On a perfect day, warm sunny and without any wind we did our last Flounder trip of the year the tide was perfect. After feeding the crabs for an hour with only one bite which the angler missed we noticed a couple of seals working their way around the Harbour and circling around us they seemed to be having the same success as we were so after a quick move then another 2 moves and still no Flounders we decided to change tactics and go outside for a few fish. We landed a few Channel Whiting and the usual suspects. At least the fishing outside the Harbour proved successful and saved our day

Fishing Report by Lewis hodder
on Pegasus (Lyme Regis, Dorset)
Dec 2017 by Lewis hodder
Report on-board Pegasus
Winter has finally arrived as far as Boat fishing is concerned in Lyme Bay on the Inshore trips the Bream have finally moved on although we were still catching lots of good sized fish right up until the end of November. Channel whiting have moved in, in numbers, to replace them with lots of fish being caught in the 2lb bracket. A few thornback and undulates rays and plenty of dogfish also coming to the boat. We even had a spurdog of 16lb only a couple of miles from Lyme Regis which is a first for me!
Offshore anchoring is producing a few Blonde Rays on the banks and Spurdogs, Huss, Conger and Undulate Rays on the rougher ground.
Wrecking has been great so far in December with lots of fit and healthy hard fighting Pollack coming to the Net up to 17lb and the occasional Bass up to 7lb.
We will be continuing right through winter Wrecking for Pollack, Inshore for whiting, Rays, Conger, Huss and the odd Cod and Offshore grounds on the neap tides for Spurdogs, Rays, Conger and Huss. View Boats Page

Whiting are still the main target but after a recent run of Turbot they seem to be centre of attention at the moment.
If you fancy fishing over the Christmas period please call.
Wishing you all a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
