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.

Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3
The good weather has continued and the temperatures have remained high which has bought in some spectacular lightning storms and may be pretty to view when on land but are very scary when out on the water. Poole Harbour has produced excellent Plaice catches with up to 60 being caught in a single session Chris Colledge landed a new PB of 3lb 10ozs, small to medium sized Bream are in abundance throughout the Harbour and although good fun to catch soon exhaust bait supplies. 1st time lady angler Liz Rouss whilst on holiday from London caught a 5lb 2 ozs Ballan Wrasse during a short 3hr trip and is now taking up the sport on a regular basis. Dave Colcough landed a Dover Sole adding to his species tally during an evening session along with Bass, Gurnards, Smoothhounds and many pesky Bream. In Poole Bay the hard fighting and very illusive Trigger Fish are the prime target, during a trip organised by a local angling club to promote junior anglers to take up boat fishing Flora Munden set a new club record for Trigger Fish at 3lb 2ozs and Andy Mapstone landed a Couch’s Bream (a new species for Mistress Linda). Drifting along the beaches provided many other species inc Gurnards, Bream and the occasional Turbot / Brill. Mackeral after being so plentiful switched off overnight with just the odd fish being caught. The outer bank marks on the weaker tides produce good sized Rays, Tope and Bull Huss whilst offshore the wrecks at anchor are producing good catches of Congers, larger Bream. As the season change and autumn arrives the summer species will go on their travels and Channel Whiting will arrive followed by the winter Cod.

Report on-board Just Mary
PLAN 'A' JURASSIC COAST HERE WE COME ! Sometimes a Skipper's plan will come together and the weather Gods will shine on those who put in maximum effort, Sunday just gone was such a day on 'Just Mary' from Poole. With the Saturday trip cancelled due to strong winds and heavy rain, Sunday broke on a fine clear morning. So with some Regulars, Tom 'The Brickie', Alex 'The Jock', Gary C.P and Dave Gubb being joined by six Novices including a young lady we ventured off to the 32's South of the Jurassic Coast. Slight swell running from the weather of the day before and a couple of fruitless stops for Mackerel and Scad until we set the anchor in 120 feet of water. A beautiful slack 2.7 Dover tide with ebb first and flood all afternoon awaited us. Setting everyone up with Hire Gear who needed it and the fish started coming in. Pouting followed by some nice Black Bream on the ebb, Mackerel and Scad as we reached Low Water. Then the Big Fish.....a 40lb Tope for Tom, a 15lb Conger for Dave, a first Double figure Bull Huss for Dave and a 30lb Conger for Alex that made his muscles ache. The Hire rod lads caught Bream and the only fish missing was a nice Ray.....several traces were bitten straight through by even bigger fish. A nice day in good company and we will try to get there again, weather permitting.....All the Best, Malc and 'Just Mary' from Poole.....ta.

Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3
The start of September has has seen our inshore fishing trips targeting Plaice along the Bournemouth beaches and Poole Harbour channels these have been very productive with the best fish falling to Rev Chris at 3lb 10ozs a new PB for him. Due to the presence of the pesky little bream a good supply of bait is required along with patience but for those who persevere the Plaice will be caught. A massive bonus for 1 angler was a nice Dorset Lobster weighing in a 2 lb 2 ozs. Fishing trips from Poole this time of year produce lots of fish and if the weather is not so kind shelter can be found fishing Poole Harbour and gives you a chance to look at the stunning scenery., you can expect to catch Plaice, Bream Bass, Wrasse, Gurnards, Smoothhounds and if you are fortunate small Cod up to 8lb are around some have already been landed.

Report on-board Just Mary
Hi All, well since my last report we have enjoyed some good weather and some very challenging weather but still consistently managed to find a few decent fish. The Plaice fishing has turned up some quality fish for our local area especially along the beaches and in the Harbour. Best so far has to be one of 3lb 8oz by Hire rod visitor Tim Chen from London. On the Neaps we've chased bigger fish and landed Undulate Rays, Thornback and Tope. The Mackerel situation varies daily now and wasn't helped by a strong blow during the Airshow weekend. We hope for a settled spell in September to enjoy some outstanding tides and thank everyone who has fished with us this past Summer. More decent fish in September ? Well it wont be for a lack of effort by the Skipper and 'Just Mary'.....thanks to one and all, hope to see you soon......more reports and photos and reviews on my Facebook page of 'Onamission Charters'..... ta Malc.
