Fishing Report by Lyle Stantiford
on Supanova II (Weymouth, Dorset)
Apr 2011 by Lyle Stantiford
Report on-board Supanova II
Well March saw the majority of our fishing mid channel for the Pollack and Ling. The Pollack fishing this year has been much improved on the last three or four years with regular good catches for many anglers visiting Weymouth. The ling have proved a little trickier at times but some nice fish in the 20's have found their way to the net.
The latter part of the month saw the first trips inshore for Plaice and Turbot with the early signs showing we may be in for a bumper year. Fingers crossed nice weather will be ahead for April and continued good fishing.
Tight lines to all and thanks for Supporting Me and the rest of the Weymouth fleet.

Report on-board My Way 2
Spring Bank Holiday Smoothhound Challenge
North Wales has long been established as a venue for smoothhound, with Holyhead being the mecca for those wanting to catch big double figure hounds in the area.
Fishing for smoothies in waters relatively shallow at only 45’ can be a very exhilarating experience. Hounds first move in for us during early May, and hang around until mid-July. These fish often hit well into double figures with many in the high teens. In the last few years we have landed 11 smoothhound over the 20lb mark, including two at 25lb.
During the Spring Bank Holiday, Monday 30th May 2011, we are running a normal smoothhound only trip, with the slight twist that if you catch the heaviest, (weighed in our purpose made sling) you will be rewarded with a new rod & reel.
The rod & reel up for grabs is a Fladen Super Senor multi tip rod combined perfectly with a Fladen 444 multiplier reel. Personally I would say that the Fladen Super Sensor rods are probably one of, if not the best rod Fladen produce. With 3 varying strength tips and its extremely sensitive nature, the rod is a useful addition to the armoury of any angler wanting to catch those elusive small species in our waters. However these rods are equally at home landing the 20lb+ smoothhounds seen in Holyhead, this set up with a hard fighting opponent on the business end, offers an exhilarating angling experience.
30th May 2011
9am sail for 8hrs
£45 per person includes 16 fresh peeler crab
Heaviest smoothound wins Fladen Super Senor multi tip rod combined perfectly with a Fladen 444 multiplier

Fishing Report by Paul Kilpatrick
on Sea Otter 2 (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

Report on-board Sea Otter 2
Today was the first day of the spring festival the forcast wasnt to bad we sailed at 7am the there was a breeze from the southwest but it wasnt long before the wind dropped away and the sea turned more or less flat today the lethal weapon was once baited shads or squid fished whole on a single hook .
The day got off to a slow start but i assured the lads things can change extremy fast and it did.
We fished out on the 9 mile and picked off some nice codlings but i new where i wanted to be as the tide eased late morning.
the tide today was quite big and through the strength of the tide the fishing was allways going to be better as the tide eased due to the algie in water .
At 9am i decide i decided to go for a cruise to wrecks up the coast but only 4 or 5 miles from the shore as we arrived at the first wreck the wind had allmost gone near on perfect conditions.
a slow drift a few fish came up more or less straight away but i decide to move to the next wreck and it was bingo the first drift all the rods were into fish everybody was pulling in cod we had near on 3 cracking hours fishing again.
All the lads were into fish most of the time we didnt manage to get any monsters today the best going over 9lb but quite a lot of fish around the 7lb mark and loads around 5-6lb plus we had our first pussy cat this year a catfish around the 6lb mark.
all in all the lads had a very nice day it is very early days in the competition there was a much biggier fish lost today and i am sure finger crossed we could see a cod going well into the teens before the end of the competition.
Local lad paul britain an ex trawlerman who is a tool pusher on the rigs paul is now a keen angler and got his first real taste of catching cod on shads he loved it.
One of the lads with a nice brace from today . View Boats Page

Report on-board JFK TWO
sunday 3rd april
today was another nice spring like day.the first wreck was about 7 miles out. and produced only a couple of cod 3-4lbs.
so we pushed futher on the next wrecks again fished steady with 1 or 2 fish per drift. mainly cod upto 8lbs. with ling on the mackrel and squid baits.one lad having crab was having more sucess with a fish every drift till he ran out of crab.
again the futher we got out the cleaner the water was and the shads kicked in.
all in all a steady day with most anglers averaging 6 to 8 fish each.

well although its still early season fishing when the weather has allowed has been good. 5 lads over from preston had around 35 fish.about 25 cod and 10 ling. with the cod upto 8lbs and the ling just under 10lbs.with squid and mackrel baits working well for both cod and ling more so the ling.
as we ventured futher offshore the shads became more and more effective, and it was 50/50 between bait and shads.

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Another mixed group of lads joined us on the 28th and had a great days sport aboard the Shy-Torque III. The fishing on the marks inshore is starting to improve a bit, however we found our best sport on a couple of wrecks some 17 miles to the East of the harbour. Plenty of cod to 8 / 9lb and plenty of pollack too. Best pollack being one of Alan Wards ( pictured ) from Whitby at 9lb. Cheers lads and we'll see you all again soon.
