Fishing Report by Sam Cumming
on Silver Spray II (Poole, Dorset)

Report on-board Silver Spray II
In a mixed month weather wise the inshore fishing off Poole has been held up by the absence of mackerel, a key bait fish when we are targeting bass, rays and tope. Up until about a week ago it wasn’t even worth trying for them as we found ourselves spending 3 hours feathering for just a few baits. Thankfully on the back end of the last spring tide they finally arrived in numbers which made our days somewhat easier. We have seen the first of the silver ones on our reef marks on floats and free line gear, Ian Webb produced a fine bass of 8lb 12oz on a free line jumbo mackerel which is the biggest of the year so far. Out on the offshore banks the tope are around in abundance, frozen mackerel has been good enough to get them on the feed whilst we have been struggling for the fresh stuff.
Cherbourg kicked off last month in brilliant fashion with 2 trips back to back without any wind and some of the best fishing I’ve seen those grounds produce. Huge numbers of cod and pollock on a wide spread number of wrecks, the bigger fish like Gareth Awbury’s 22lber coming on rough ground. With bait fish easy to catch just outside Cherbourg harbour we have seen a more positive start to the bass fishing over there with several fish coming to the net when we have tried. Highlight of July so far has to be Duncan Fleming’s 8lb 12oz john dory caught on a blue sidewinder whilst cod fishing. Taken on the last drift of the day it was a reminder of what I love best about this job; that you just never know what might appear!

Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3
Due to the recent strong winds recently we have fished Poole Harbour and the Swash channel, during this time we have great fun catching a total of 27 different species ranging from blenny's to small Tope. This is good practice for any competition angler but can be frustrating for a beginner as the fish are well practiced at stealing the bait. The Ray fishing is still producing cracking fish with the best Undulate of 18lb 3ozs being caught on a spinning rod at slack water last week.

Report on-board Channel Warrior
Best fish last month on channel warrior was caught by ex skipper Chris Reeks, a cod of 21lb. The fishing so far this year as been nothing short of fantastic, with all the cod that's about and now the bass are showing with a few black bream it's exciting times ahead and fingers crossed that the wind will not be too strong and let us out after them

Report on-board Piscary
Tricky weather again this week making the fishing difficult, had another great match though this weekend with the Angling Trust Wessex champion of champions, in a very tight match Piscary just managed to become top boat again after Gill won overall with 130 points, narrowly beating Ray Barron with 129 points on Random Harvest. Big thanks to Kim Bowden and everyone at the Angling Trust Wessex for another great match out of Poole

Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3
June fished really well from Poole with many excellent catches of Cod and Pollack, July has started with a 'bang' and the quality of the Cod has improved with many double figure fish and several over 20lb being landed, Plaice are being caught in good numbers with some nice size fish amongst them. Tope are providing good sport on light gear and to add to the fun we are operating Ray trips using spinning rods which tests the anglers skills and patience but it is rewarding.
