May Delights !
Although the weather has been `changeable`, we have still found some great fish lately.
The first May Bank Holiday was a great success even though we had strong North Easterly winds, Most of the Charter Fleet stayed at home for the weekend but we saw the opportunity for some great fishing and it paid off,
Alex, aged 12 1\3, from Sevenoaks caught a beautiful 9 lb Bass from Pegwell Bay, along with some Smoothounds and a nice Skate.
Our evening Bass trips over the Bank Holiday weekend were quite productive, none of the Bass caught were under 6 lb !
On the odd days when it has been calm enough to push offshore we have had great results, our Worst wrecking trip so far in May produced 60+ Quality fish, mainly cod with a few Bass in amongst, for a party of 6 Novice anglers.
No bullshit, Just results.
Hope to see you soon,
Keep it tight,
Dave.

Fishing Report by Bob Marshall
on Duke IV (Ramsgate, Kent)
15 May 2012 by Bob Marshall
Report on-board Duke IV
We are currently enjoying some great fishing around Ramsgate with Cod, Pollock & Bass on the wrecks and the inshore fishing has improved with Skate, Smoothounds and Bass. As is always the case here these fish are keen not to be caught so plenty of good quality bait always helps. Herring has been the bait of choice for the Skate throughout the winter but as summer moves on they are looking more for mackerel, squid also works well. The hounds are here for the crabs, but will also take squid & squid cocktail baits. Bass can be caught on any of the above with lugworm a favourite inshore bait for the schoolies and whole mackerel fillets for the large Bass. We are hoping for a good mackerel year but we need calm clear seas for these fine fish, so far this spring we have had neither. Latest trips gave Jamies crew on a four hr trip plenty of doggies along with Skate & a 7.5lb Smoothound. On Sunday it was offshore to the wrecks with Nordwest Sports club for Cod, Pollock & Bass along with Gurnard and Mackerel on the way back to Ramsgate. Pic shows Joe with wreck Cod.

Fishing Report by Rich Ward
on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
It seems to be a case of grab a day when you can here at Whitby at the moment !!!
Our last trip off was last Saturday ( 2nd trip in 3 weeks!! ) and it wasn't very nice at all to start off, however the breeze did eventually fall at around 10 a.m and left us with a lovely day and some half decent fishing.
The forecast wasn't good enough for us to get to any distant wrecks so we played around on some more local wrecks and found a nice number of codling to around 7lbs.
I've just looked at the 7 day prediction this morning and it's still gloomy with more Northerly's forecast for the week ahead :-((((((((( WHERE'S THE SUMMER??????????

Fishing Report by Doug East
on Flamer IV (Weymouth, Dorset)

Report on-board Flamer IV
I had a fantastic fishing trip on the Flamer lV. The skipper Colin made the trip so worthwhile. His knowledge of the local wrecks and best fishing spots is second to none. He made it his priority to ensure that we all had a great time and caught plenty of fish.
I have been on many fishing trips that once on board and paid your money the skipper has just anchored up and not made a lot of effort to find the ideal fishing spots. Colin the skipper on Flamer IV is certainly not in this category, I lost count of the number of wrecks we went to.
All in all a very successful and enjoyable fishing trip which comes highly recommended. This is what fishing is all about, I will definitely be booking to go again. View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Peter Everett
on Amino (Shotley, Suffolk)

Report on-board Amino
Out today with Steve, Andy, Ed and Graham some of whom had never fished the East coast before.
The weather was kind to start and the fish soon started to show with Codling, Thornbacks and our Dog friends providing the action before Ed hooked into something more lively and our first Smoothound of the season came on board. The weather deteriorated late afternoon and we ended up heading back and in to the river looking for some Bass.
Ended the day with 9 Thornbacks to 13lb (a personal best for Andy, pictured), 4 Smoothounds to 7lb, 4 Codling to 3.5lb loads of dogs, 3 small Bass and some Whiting so was a good day for the species ;-)
Well done chaps, hope to see you again soon... View Boats Page
