    Report on-board Spindrift New Dawn

    It's been so long for a report {i'm not one for writing] This year so far has been good like the begining of last year the only problem being the weather .When I have been able to get out to the deeps the fishing has been brilliant spurs huss first tope of the year in march 25lb The best days fishing in the deeps was 63 spurs best ones 16lb the stacks have fished well too plenty of coal fish pollack 2-5 lb and with wrasse up to 3lb . On the mussel beds huss dogs dabs and codling I hope the cod fishing in May and June is as good as it was last year and the smooth hound fishing will soon be upon us I will try to make more effort with my reports and not leave it for so long one off the older Skippers Gareth williams

  • 04/2012 Fishing Report by Lyle Stantiford on Supanova II (Weymouth, Dorset)

    Apr 2012 by Lyle Stantiford

    Report on-board Supanova II

    Well what a bleak couple of weeks it has been with the weather!! We did manage to scrape a day earlier this week where yet again the Turbot fishing proved magical with 3 of the 5 lads on board catching PB's. Firstly Ian Robson bagged a PB of 9lb 8oz, Ian has been fishing since my very first season in action in Weymouth and has been a constant pleasure to have on board and i'm chuffed that he was rewarded with a lovely fish.

    Second to break his PB was sparrow, sparrow is fairly new to flatfish fishing and only started venturing out this year but already he has managed to land Brill to 6lb, Plaice to 4lb and now a cracking Turbot of 12lb.

    Last but no means least was Paul Norman form Essex, some of you may recognise Paul from his own Charter Boat TRYA running out of Walton on the Naze. Paul managed to land a cracker of 14lb 8oz (pictured) but unfortunately lost a better fish that I can honestly say may have broken the boat record of 22lb 4oz but unfortunately it wasn't to be!

    Never mind back to the decorating for me now!

    Looks good for friday and Saturday for a bit of wrecking for the Cod so fingers crossed! Due off on the first run to the channel islands next week so fingers crossed the weather lets us.

    Once again many thanks to all who continue to venture to Weymouth and support the port. Tight lines if you are soon to be wetting a line.

  • 25/04/2012 Fishing Report by Rich Ward on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    25 Apr 2012 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    When the weather finally broke last Friday here at Whitby the Spring angling competition got under way properly.
    Over the weekend we worked a couple of wrecks on the 9 mile area along with some rough ground. The wrecks providing us with some fantastic fishing with cod to just short of 11 lbs.
    Upto press we've managed 7 daily cash prizes in the competition ( more than any other boat ) so things are looking good for the Shy-Torque anglers!
    Pictured is Nigel Hall from Richmond North Yorkshire with what we thought was going to be the winning fish when he was reeling in. Turned out to be a lovely treble of cod weighing over 21 lbs.The best one in this treble weighing 9lb 13.5oz getting him a daily cash prize. Lucky but unlucky Nige!!!

  • 20/04/2012 Fishing Report by Rich Cope on Mistress (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    20 Apr 2012 by Rich Cope

    Report on-board Mistress

    I planned on anchoring today to see if we could nail another biggy for the festival. The water had a bit of green algae tinge in it again, but on arriving at the mark there was feed swarming all over, so I told the lads to drop shads on the off chance of nailing a few before anchoring. All rods went straight into fish! result! the water cant have been as coloured as first thought. well we scrapped the idea of anchoring as we took a steady picking of cod all day long most people leaving with 12+ fish each, although we caught nothing enormous we enjoyed sport with cod pushing 8lb on shads and light gear.
