Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3
Update on my last report, after sending pics of all the Undulates landed to the Undulate Ray project for identification it proved that the same Ray was landed twice during the afternoon 1st time around 13.30 then again approximately 1 hr later and it fell to the same angler both times Albion SAC angler Allan Johanson. Check out this project and send in pics of your Undulate Rays for them to analyse.
All the best

Report on-board Just Mary
Hi All, three consecutive All Day Hire Rod Charters and three challenging days of weather in Swanage Bay, which really was THE ONLY sensible option given the big ebbing Spring tides and strong SW winds. Swanage Bay and the Purbeck Hills give us protection and less 'reach' for the power of the waves making anchoring reasonably tolerable for fishing at anchor. Three good days of fishing with EVERYONE CATCHING as usual and a variety of species including Undulate Ray, Small Eyed Ray, Spotted Ray, Bream, Gurnard, Dogs and Mackerel plus Bass including a stonking Double Figure female fish of 10lb 8oz for Paul Denton from Leamington Spa in the West Midlands. His group led by Nick Setchell christened by me as the 'Brummie Beach Boys' travelled down on Sunday morning to enjoy a day at Sea. Undulates, Dogs, Gurnard, good size Mackerel and then the whopping Bass, surely every Anglers Dream ? Paul however is not a Sea Angler, too far from WHERE HE LIVES so he prefers Carp fishing but even he was impressed by this fish. Measured at over 80cm, weighed, photos and released to breed again. Caught on hire rod gear, my traces, mackerel fillet and over a rocky mark on 'Just Mary' from Poole. For three days I fished this mark and it never let me down, had good fish here before and experience is what makes all the difference. We won ! Thanks, Malc and 'Just Mary'.

Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3
Due to the predicted strong winds our game plan changed to fish several local banks which in hindsight proved very fortuitous, after getting a good supply of fresh mackeral we anchored off Swanage and were immediately into our 1st Ray this continued until we lost the tide and started to swing around the anchor rope so a quick move into Poole Bay was needed and once settled we were again into Rays. A total of 22 were caught and returned, 16 Undulates, 5 Small Eyed and 1 small Spotted, along with a few dogs and hounds to add to the score card.
Great days fishing in challenging conditions and not a cup of tea spilt. View Boats Page

Bruce won the Biggest Fish and Best Specimen awards with a 40Ib Conger he also won a Flamer IV catch of the day trophy. But Lenny was the super star winning four Flamer IV catch of the day trophies. Pictured is Lenny with a 3Ib Plaice.
Weymouth Angling Breaks - Book Now, Don't miss Out,*** NOW TAKING BOOKINGS FOR 2018 ***
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.
Planning your trip well in advance is essential you need to arrange your boat booking and your accommodation as early as possible to avoid disappointment, some of my regular groups plan their trips at least 12 months in advance, this allows them to discuss with me the best tides for the type of fishing they are targeting.

on Silver Spray II (Poole, Dorset)

Report on-board Silver Spray II
The wreck fishing has been sporadic with some days seeing heaps of fish hit the deck only for the same marks to produce next to nothing the following day. Pollock are still a good size with fish over 15lb taking the lures over various wrecks. The cod have been thin on the ground but have increased in size, 6 or 7 fish being our best trip but 18lbers not uncommon. Pretty much every angler I know has been out to enjoy some of the awesome bream fishing we are getting off Poole this season, I expect you are fed up of hearing about it. The black bream continue to provide quality sport fishing with fish to 4b coming on most trips. As the waters have heated up the rays have started to move, undulates, small eyed and blondes are in abundance. I had a great time at the Poole species hunt this year, organised by Sarah and Louis Medley. The 2 teams on my boat managed 17 species between them, evenly spread between the larger species and a few of the mini goby and wrasse variety. Brilliant day out, bear it in mind for next year if you have got a few mates who want to give it a try. Looking forward to being able to land a few bass in two weeks time.

JIm Stone age 68 landed the biggest weighing 3Ib 8oz (pictured) and David Gibson age 67 landed the most with six Plaice.
