A busy week of trips now that the Sun has finally appeared. Police from Winton enjoyed a weekday trip onboard 'Just Mary' from Poole and the lads and lasses all caught fish to take home and eat. Bream the next day for Cyprus Tony and friends with female fish on the 'Mecca' still full of roe.....in Mid July ! Some Chinese youngsters, lads and lasses, enjoyed a lovely day afloat and all caught edible fish to take back to Bristol. My regulars and guests on Sunday found themselves three miles South of the Jurassic Coast fighting the tide and the Tope and the Eels, pics on this site and FB page.....lovely day in good company. And last but not least four hire rods caught, Mackerel, Scad, Red and Tub Gurnards, a Bass, Dogfish, Smoothounds and a decent Undulate just off the beaches in Bournemouth.....rest now before we go again, ta Malc.....

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.

Fishing Report by Paul Smith

Report on-board Rapid Fisher
Pictures from our inshore trip on Sunday and probably the best inshore trip rapid fisher has had.
The crew for the day were from the Cockleshell pub in poole ALL on hire rods and who enjoyed the calm and clear conditions and caught a great variety of fish.
The mackerel showed up in great number as caught over 200, some for bait for the day, barbecue and the rest I'm sure will be frozen down for the guys to use as bait in the coming months, also caught were 6 rays, many male big Bream, 2 Congers, 6 Tope and this fantastic Rockling that went 2lb 8oz not very far off a record.

Report on-board Supanova II
Well I must admit I have been a bit rubbish with keeping the reports up to date this year. The weather was patchy in April with no decent runs of days at sea. When we did get out the Pollack fishing was steady with some nice fish coming to a variety of lures. Towards the end of April saw a really good run of Turbot on the shambles. Some of the best numbers I have ever seen. 20 fish in a day was not uncommon. Most fish were small and were returned but a couple of decent fish each day combined with loads of bites was enough to keep the customers interested.
As soon as May came the onslaught of days began, this year the majority of the time the weather was kind meaning we managed to complete all of our Channel Islands trips which displayed some of the best flatty fishing I have ever seen along with other trips over showing the worst. Thats just fishing I Suppose. Inshore in Weymouth the Shambles continued to fish well and as you would have guessed as we weren't allowed to retain them a glut of Bass turned up on the scene, everywhere we went Bass, Bass, Bass!! we had a couple of lovely days returning all the Bass we hooked, but this isn't for everyone. Last May and June saw the best Cod fishing the south coast has ever seen. This year it hasn't been quite so good but with some much better quality fish around keeping the anglers on their toes when they hook that decent fish close to the wreck. The fewer numbers of Cod have meant the Pollack have had a chance this summer. Some beautiful summer specimens have come up in the high doubles. If these fish had been landed in the winter then they would be well over 20lb. This bodes well for a good winter season on the Pollack Hopefully.
At the time of writing we have had 5 windy days which has been the longest break since mid April. Inshore in the last week the Mackerel have finally arrived in good numbers long may they stay!!! Tope and Bream are coming in higher numbers and we are now allowed to keep a Bass for tea!!!!
Thanks to all for their continued support to Weymouth, long may you keep coming and enjoying some great days out from the best port in the country.
Pictured is Mervyn Bishop from Cheltenham with an 18lb Turbot that was returned alive. This is one of 6 double figure Turbot that have been boated and released alive on channel islands trips this year. Hats off to you Merv and the other lads.
Tight Lines,

Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3
What a contrasting week of anglers ranging from Foriegn Student adventure holidays, Family fun days to high quality local club anglers, the fishing has mostly been local and has thrown up some great catches of Ray's, Plaice , Bream and Gurnards. Best Undulate 16lb went to Ann Chown who had never caught a Ray before but is now a seasoned Ray angler who also landed several more Small Eyeds today. Due to high winds for the last few days we have had to seek shelter in the Harbour for part of the day and several good Plaice up to 3lb and a few big Gurnards have been landed along with those pesky little bait robbing Bream.

Report on-board Out The Blue
Well in to the season now and some good bags of Ling occasional Cod, Haddock and some really big Whiting.
We struggled this year with the Mackerel, they came in April time as per usual mixed in with the Herring then on key disappeared again as I predicted. Good job I did think ahead and prepared at the end of last season and filled my freezers. Happy to see they are now back as stocks in the freezer are getting low. Those of you that follow us on Facebook will see good catches of Conger and the Sharks are starting show themselves now/ So Tight lines and see you in the near future when the sum comes out.
