Report on-board Just Mary
The past few weeks if not months have produced some challenging conditions for Skippers and Anglers alike. However we have managed to keep our bookings going by careful planning of tides, wind direction and choosing the right locations. As Roy Castle used to say on 'Record Breakers'.....'dedication's what you need'.....and a good deal of planning avoids pee poor performance ! So the Anderson clan from Swindon, who only visit me once a year and use my hire rods and bait enjoyed a good morning on the Bream before an afternoon of strong winds and a change of tide direction. My regulars enjoyed a trip to Dancing Ledge in 'challenging conditions' but we found plenty of Bream and other species including a big Conger that made the 'Great Escape' through the scupper. The rest of the fleet staying the other side of Peveril Ledge, I guess you just have to trust what you drive ? Two half days last weekend and again more planning, a Stag party on hire rods enjoyed Spotted Ray, Dogfish and Undulate Ray plus a big female lobster full of berries (eggs) that was photographed and returned after being tail cut. The afternoon party again had Spotted Ray and Dogfish on hire gear. Sunday and a Charter of only four landed half a dozen spotted rays and Dogs before we moved to avoid the wind over tide scenario. The move produced a nice Undulate Ray on anchor then gurnard and plaice on the drift. This coming weekend looks better.....about time too !

Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3
The Bream fishing continues to excel with good catches, the weather has restricted our options but the fishing has been excellent in Poole Bay, during May fishing close to the shores we caught plenty of 1lb to 3 lb Plaice, Gurnards, and small Hounds. The Lymington boys did their species comp in very challenging conditions and landed a respectable 21 different species including a new club record Cornish Sucker (still waiting for it to be verified). On the outer banks there are plenty of Bull Huss and Tope along with some big Blondes. As summer approaches come and join us and enjoy the spectacular scenery the Dorset coast has to offer and its fine fishing.

Report on-board Wild Frontier 2
**Channel Island Season is here**
View Boats Page
A typical trip to the Channel Islands will be 4 or 5 days long. We leave Weymouth and head to the wrecks in the Channel. Evenings are spent ashore in the great little bars and restaurants of the island and crashing out in an island B+B - although great self catering options are available. Depending on the time of year, we explore the grounds around Alderney and Guernsey during the days.
All fish is kept fresh and in great condition on ice in our purpose built fish hold. We skilfully fillet all catch for table on the journey home to Weymouth.
We have availability for our September trip - the 11th to the 14th inclusive and would love to welcome you!

Weymouth Angling Breaks
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.
