Report on-board Sally Ann Jo
Wrecking trips are still producing a reasonable number of cod. Last Saturdays trip also saw a few red gurnard to lures in 60m of water and this lovely 9.5lb bass for Andy Magor. Reefs and banks are producing good numbers of bream. Bull huss, conger and undulate rays are making appearances and testing light gear when fishing for bream. For the species hunters amongst you theres always the red band fish.

The black bream are now here in good numbers. The actual size of them are quite big but they are very thin and light. Fish that should be 3 - 4lbs are actually 2 - 3 lbs, in the coming weeks they will be feeding up and putting the weight on .

Report on-board Rapid Fisher
A good number of rays boated on a recent trip to the banks to West of Poole aboard Rapid Fisher.
View Boats Page
After setting off from Poole we stopped in Swange bay for bait and it wasn't long before enough mackerel for the days fishing. We headed off round the corner to a mark just off dancing ledge and the boat settled at anchor. Wasn't before long before the first ray came aboard. Action continued with numerous undulates & spotted rays being landed, photographed and returned.
At slack I decided to head further out to a bank which usually throws up big blonde rays & tope so after a short steam across the bay we arrived at the said mark. As the tide and wind came together the boat settled and John hooked into something decent. After 10/15 minutes a cracking 33lb blonde was safely in the net. After a quick photo she was returned back to fight another day.
Call me now on 07836 717055 to book your space or discuss your requirement if you want a full boat charter.Tight lines

Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3
This weekend saw the Mistress Linda enter party mode on Saturday with a family who were out to celebrate their sons birthday, it was well organised by his girlfriend Olivia. The group enjoyed a bit of fishing catching plenty of mackeral before heading into Studland for a swim and to top up their tans. During the swimming the proud parents and I discussed holiday destinations and the local scenery whilst ensuring all in the water were safe. It was a really relaxing and enjoyable day.

Report on-board Predator
Another superb days ray fishing aboard Predator. Setting off from Poole we went in search of bait for the day, a steady 20 knots saw us in swanage bay before the first cuppa was finished!! In 10 minutes we had more than enough bait for the day so we headed to the chosen mark near dancing ledge and dropped the hook.
View Boats Page
It wasn't before long before the first tell tale rustle on the rod tip meant a ray was settling onto the fresh mackerel bait. Sure enough a good pull over and the first Ray was hooked. Action continued all day and to be honest I lost count but somewhere between 30/40 rays were boated photographed and released. Biggest went to Ross who managed to beat his brother by about a 1lb!!
If you fancy a days Ray fishing then give me a call to book your space. -
