Just to say thanks to Steve the skipper of Supreme, for a great days fishing 12th June. Weather was awful but the fishing was great. The boat has loads of room for 12 people fishing comfortably and Steve does a good brew too, with a delicious hot pasty thrown in. Thanks again Steve. See you in November.

Fishing Report by Barry Handley
on Malaki (Hayling Island, Hampshire)

Report on-board Malaki
June !!
Nearly all the species are here now, even the conger eel has moved inshore. And of course the weed
has come which can make fishing a bit of a problem. But you just have to find the places that are weed free
during the floood and ebb tide cycle.
We started the month of well on Malaki with plenty of Bream, Plaice, Bass & Tope, then the weather
stopped fishing it's almost like winter but l guess it's down to green house gases or is it ???
However were bashing on and getting out when we can. Had a couple of bad trips last week but this week
were back on form catching bass, conger, tope and lots of ray's so if you get a spare day, your always welcome to join us onboard Malaki !!
The picture is of Ken a very good angler and l am pleased to say a regular on Malaki with a nice 5lb 1oz plaice caught on the drift using ragworm and beades. View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Gethyn Owen
on My Way 2 (Holyhead, Isle of Anglesey)

Report on-board My Way 2
Taken from the Editors Blog at http://www.boat-fishing-monthly.co.uk
Well, what an amazing day Friday was! BFM photographer, Jim Midgley and myself hopped on board Gethyn Owen's Holyhead-based charter boat 'My Way' for a spot of smoothhound fishing. The weather was cracking, with just a light breeze blowing and the sun beating down. Little did we know what we were in for.
There were just thre three of us on board today, so we decided to fish two rods each. I was testing the new Daiwa Procaster X spinning rod, plus their Kenzaki Braid 12/20 rod. And boy did they get a proper testing!
It was action all the way, right from the word go. By lunchtime we'd managed to boat and release 20 smoothounds between us, including a 20lb 1oz beauty and others of 17lb and 15lb 11oz. The afternoon session was a bit quieter, but we did Gethyn proud by finishing the day with a tally of 28 smoothies and one thornback ray, which beat the long-standing record for the number of hounds caught on board 'My Way' in a single session by two fish.
I was fishing like a pro, and managed to boat 14 of the 28 hounds, plus the 10lb thornie, but it was Gethyn that took all the monster fish including the 20, an 18 and a 17-pounder. What an awesome day's sport. I'll be editing and uploading a load of video footage, plus a few tips from Gethyn by the end of the week, so make sure you check back to see the all the mayhem!

Fishing Report by Dave Hunkin
on Bessie Vee (Mevagissey, Cornwall)
Jun 2011 by Dave Hunkin
Report on-board Bessie Vee
The summer cod seems to have turned up in the Western Approaches - have had large catch numbers (up to sixty cod); though the average size remains from 4 - 8lb. In amongst them, there have been some bigger ones weighing between 12 and 16lb - though we have yet to beat the 20lb mark.
Inshore wrecks are producing large quantities of channel whiting, ranging from 1 - 6lb, and in amongst them are codlings, small coleys and haddock.
Conger are now beginning to show in numbers after a slow start (probably due to the large amount of whiting)! Best weight conger so far has been 52lb; but hope to break that on the next tide, when we have the Conger Kings down! View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Paul Fitch
on She Likes It Rough 2 (Shotley, Suffolk)

Report on-board She Likes It Rough 2
The past week has been a busy one for us getting out every day bar one. Fishing has been good with the majority of the groups opting for a mixed days fishing: fishing for hounds and Roker for best part of the day and then a short spell hitting a wreck or two for some cod. The same as last year for us really on the wrecks, with our small uncharted wrecks coming up with the goods time and time again. Best we managed was 66 in only an hours fishing for 7 anglers.
We had Des out with us on Tuesday Offshore Bassing and Wrecking for his birthday trip. Between four anglers they landed bass to 8lb drifting with live baits and also had over 40 cod to 8lb on a wreck in just 45 minutes.
Glen’s groups on Thursday were unlucky with the weather, which did not allow us to push out to the wrecks, but they still had a good catch on the ground with plenty of Hounds and Roker
As the week went on and the tides fell away we turned our attention to more wrecking and ground fishing, landing Smoothound and Roker to over double figures every day
The hounds are still of a good size as quite a few are still in pup and returned alive for future sport. View Boats Page

Report on-board PLAN B
Been so busy havent had a chance to update..
The fishing has been very good, however the weather has been unkind.
We managed a trip down the river on Friday with a fishing club group. They bagged around 40-50 hounds most around the 5-7lb mark best tipping the scales at 10.6 also 6 bass to 5lb and a few skate and loads of dogs.
Saturday proved a slower day, with plenty of dogs, no bass about 10-15 hounds and only 1 skate. The weather turned nasty later in the day and maybe the sudden drop in temperature effected the fishing. View Boats Page

June fishing so far is producing plenty of good fish.
The Smooth-hounds are still in full steam with plenty coming aboard most days.
The Mackeral have arrived and are plentyfull along with Pollack, Coalies and Codling.
Offshore banks are seing plenty of Spurdog and Bull Huss with a few larger Tope.
Inshore banks a producing plenty of Bull Huss to 16lb, Codling, Dogs, Dabs with a few Whittings, Gurnards and Rays aswell.
We have yet to have the weather to venture down to fish the Turbot/Ray banks but fingers crossed for this month.
Tight lines and get fishing. View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Peter Everett

Report on-board Amino
Having had to postpone most of last months trips due to the relentless winds, at long last the weather gave us a window...well for a day anyway!!!
Great day out with Cliff, Andy, Dave and Ernie. We had Common and Starry Smoothounds to 8lb+, Dogs, Whiting, Thornbacks to 8lb+ and the first Tope of the season, albeit a small one!
Story of the day was poor Ernie(pictured here in battle). Having hooked a huge Thornback that took 30 yards on its first run, Ernie played it for ten minutes and managed to get it within ten yards of the boat... only for it to head off again taking another 50 yards!!!....passing his rod to Cliff for a rest, Cliff promptly lost said Thornback....needless to say Cliff took a hammering for the rest of the day!!!
Well done chaps, great banter as usual thank you..hope to see you again soon! View Boats Page
