  • 19/08/2012 Fishing Report by Don Griffiths on Outrider 2 (Beaumaris, Isle of Anglesey)

    19 Aug 2012 by Don Griffiths

    Report on-board Outrider 2

    Sailed from Beaumaris 9am with a tank full of great live eels seined by Mick.
    First drifts in the Bay at Puffin Island brought Bass to 3.5lb, pollock to 3lb and wrasse to 3lb. Great sport on light tackle. Some jumbo mackerel to 1.5 lb for supper then the rain started . With no wind to move it we moved, back into The Straights and back into the bass.
    Two newbies on board both had bass suppers to take home and a great day out. Must be the first trip I've had in years with NO doggies.
    Great day Mick

  • 19/08/2012 Fishing Report by Bob Marshall on Duke IV (Ramsgate, Kent)

    19 Aug 2012 by Bob Marshall

    Report on-board Duke IV

    We are enjoying some good fishing here at Ramsgate at the moment with many species available. Good numbers of Bass and Smoothounds with a few Thornbacks being landed. Heindrics crew over from Belgium had a good 5 days with plenty of Bass up to 6lbs along with Hounds and some nice Skate with Luke landing a sizeable Turbot. These fish often show in the nets but not often to the rods so a nice surprise on mackerel strip. As usual catching mackerel for bait has often proven difficult with coloured water and a lack of fish to catch being the problem. We have substituted whiting for livebait getting good results then they too became more difficult.
    The Hounds are now moving out from the Estuary so a good chance of picking up some of these fine fish with crab being the favourite bait but lug/squid cocktail baits work well although the Doggies also relish this bait so they can be a problem.
    Terry caught a nice Hound along with Bass and Whiting on individuals day last thursday and Brians crew fom London today managed Hound and Skate with the Whiting and Doggies making up the numbers although 3 hours on a favourite Bass mark without a fish was unfortunate with only Doggies and a Hound being landed.
    Our last trip to the wrecks was good with some nice Cod and Pollack to the jellies and shads until the increasing wind made fishing impossible and we had to head inshore where the crew managed Skate and Hounds along with the Whiting and Doggies.
    The wrecks should continue to fish well through September, weather permitting and we will be looking for some more and larger Turbot also Black Bream that arrive here around this time. Large Bass should be here in numbers for the next couple of months although being thin on the ground up to now has been disappointing, perhaps the lack of mackerel has been the problem or maybe the massive overfishing of this species by the commercial fleets that must be reducing their numbers.
    Dates available throughout September for individuals and full boat groups on Duke IV so come along and enjoy the varied fishing we have available around Ramsgate.
    Pic shows John with a nice Hound he landed today!
    Tight lines, Bob. Skipper Duke IV.

  • 19/08/2012 Fishing Report by Peter Everett on Amino (Shotley, Suffolk)

    19 Aug 2012 by Peter Everett

    Report on-board Amino

    Three trips within the last week have produced Smoothound to 10lb although they are not there in the same numbers as a few weeks ago. We have also had some small Tope, a few Cod, plenty of Dogs and the Thornbacks seemed to have returned after a few weeks away...

    I'm now starting to get bookings for later in the year so if you are thinking about booking for a winter Cod trip, please get in touch as weekend dates will soon go! Equally, with September approaching, the Smoothounds will soon move out altogether so if you fancy a go for these, time is running out!

    Back out tomorrow so best go defrost some bait! :-)

  • 08/2012 Fishing Report by David Axtell on Seren y Mor (Swansea, Vale of Glamorgan)

    Aug 2012 by David Axtell

    Report on-board Seren y Mor

    Fishing remains steady when the wind allows us to go to our chosen marks. Smoothounds are still around in decent numbers, small eyed rays are now there in good numbers, with a spell of decent weather I`m sure the bream will come back in good numbers too.
