    Report on-board Supreme

    A group of us pen-pushers had a good days fishing with Steve on Tuesday. Thought we were going to have a rough day and threats of a shortened trip faced us. Still when we cleared the river mouth and got settled we picked up the mackerel-mostly joey size but ideal baits. Then after a rough ride further out all eased up on anchor and the fish started coming, in fact they kept on coming with. Tope, Ray, Huss, Dogs, Gurnards, Whiting, Dab's and even a squid. In fact it was the best day I have had on the Huss which mostly ran to near double figures with squid baits working best. All in all we must have had near 800 fish, nearly all returned, were kept entertained by gannets and a skewer picking up discarded bait, and of course Steve not only keeping the match totals, supplying copious amounts of tea, butties and pasties but giving out rigs tips and advice when he was not netting the Tope and Huss. Can’t wait to get out again with Steve on Supreme!

    Report on-board Supreme

    The annual Revenue & Customs North West Regional Boat fishing comp was held on10th July 2012 hosted by Steve Andrews on Supreme.
    By a stroke of luck the rain that was forecast did not materialise. The direction of the freshening wind was kind to the anglers aboard who enjoyed comfortable conditions whilst fishing the mark selected by the skipper after stopping off for Mackerel which was in plentiful both on the drift and whilst anchored up.
    The fishing was steady throughout the day keeping the competitors busy. Getting through the Whiting that seemed to plague some of us, was a problem but everyone managed to secure good species count that were punctuated by some very large Huss, and individual captures of decent sized Thornback Ray and Tope. Scoring fish appeared on a frequent basis. Despite being kept busy with the steady stream of scores being called out, Steve was able to confirm each report and keep us in tea and snacks. He is a multitasking genius.
    The Gurnard turned up late in the day - just before we were due to put back in and the outcome of the competition was very close run thing. Those who had done well as expected and those who did less well celebrated the success of another brilliant days fishing in great company.
    Great credit is due to all of the participants who gave their all to make the day the success that it was, and to our skipper for making it all possible.

    Yet another great day out with Jon. A little Damp but then I should learn to believe our weather men.. Come on ! How often do they get it right ?.. Not a good day for shorts and summer jacket. Never the less we all had a great day out and Jon was as usual a great skipper. Looking forward to a change in weather and some evenings enjoying the sunsets in the North Sea. Thanks Again Jon

    Report on-board High Flyer 2

    Lovely start to the day was expecting some skate after the weekends strong tides, nice and flat, headed north again to the banks armed with fresh mackerel and squid. Slow start with one nice smoothy for Dan pictured, and a small Red Gurnard for yours truly, wind started to get up and followed by a lovely downpour! Decided to head out to deeper water for a bit of clarity to find some feather sport as the wind making anchoring up difficult. No bass today, plenty of small whitting followed by mackerel, everyone hooking in and taking a feed home. Not as many as previous day but good sport and plenty to keep us busy. The lads all done well despite the conditions big thank you to Dan,J,Keith,Mark,Dave,Chris,Andy,Pop and Kev, hope you enjoyed your day men.

    Jon.

    Report on-board High Flyer 2

    Today was difficult with a big tide and no vis inshore, headed north to catch slack water with hope of a skate or two. Unfortunately no luck and with tide so strong decided to try drift fishing with feathers out in the deeeper water off North Cross sand. The mackerel were patchy to start everyone getting a fair share with the odd whiting making a show. One small bass only one of the day and few flatties came in until afternoon when the mackerel were non stop ,arms were aching cant put a figure on numbers. Nice to see alot of small joeys all put back due to the size limits. Good fun had by all. big thanks to Mike,Lee, ,Dave,Mark,Dave James, Paul,and visitors Steve and Alan thanks for an enjoyable day.
    Jon.

    Cracking day today on a species comp with 8 anglers onboard forecast was ok and off we went heading for the Constable bank quick drift provided plenty of Mackerel for bait.
    We then moved off and got the anchor down,plenty of fish from the off ,usual suspects Dabs,Whiting,Lsd,some big Huss,Tub Gurnard,Grey Gurnard,Thornback Ray ,Tope and a solitary Squid .
    The lads were great company and we certainly had a lot of laughs .

    Report on-board Sunbeam III


    *****NEW BOAT RECORD*******
    Mon 09/07- Left the quay at a very sociable 9:30 with a bunch of lads who are boat regulars...we usually take these boys wreck fishing on small tides but today we decided to anchor up for Tope as it was something they hadn't done in a long time ... we went out to our mark and got anchored up and within minutes had our first run which unfortunately was lost.... not long later the first Tope was landed by Ash (pic) after it being very fussy about taking the bait.... after this it was run after run with 9 Tope landed within the first few hours, at slack water we went to drift a wreck which produced a nice Cod. We returned to the spot and anchored up again and throughout the afternoon landed 11 more tope.... A new boat record 20 TOPE LANDED the old record being set at 15.... Good work Lads (and lady) cant wait for our next trip with these boys a great day with lots of good humor...HAPPY DAYS
