Fishing Report by Bob Marshall
on Duke IV (Ramsgate, Kent)

Report on-board Duke IV
The wind and rain are thrashing away at the windows as I write this report! I am supposed to be out with a party but hey that's the weather for you!
The fishing has been hectic when we have got out with plenty of Whiting, Dogs, pout and a few Skate! The Cod though have been a bit thin on the ground so far this winter, this is not good when we all want to catch lots of biguns. I think things are running late this year and any time now the Cod will arrive and we will wonder what the problem was. The Whiting are good and fat, coughing up crab, shrimp and spratts so there's plenty of bait out there for them!
The beach anglers seem to be getting a similar result, plenty of Whiting, with a few Cod!
We get an influx of Skate at this time of year and they seem to have arrived, as we are catching a few fish on the banks!
When this weather settles we can get out a bit further and hopefully the Cod fishing will improve, so plenty of lug and squid the order of the day with a couple of herrings for the Skate!
Plenty of dates available on Duke IV throughout December so get those Cod rods out and come on down! View Boats Page

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

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Last Sunday saw our first inshore ( anchored ) trip of the season. Plenty of codlings running at the moment after a number of fresh North / North East winds. Pictured here are 4 of the lads aboard last Sunday with just a few of their catch. Pictured left to right are Tim Reynolds, Martin Catley, Alistair Watson and my crewman John Wilcock. These are the best of the cod caught with fish to 9.5lbs.
The inshore ( anchor ) fishing is often termed as " uptiding " To catch fish at anchor it is not always necessary to launch your bait uptide like a lot of people think. All the cod in this photo were in fact taken downtide of the boat ( NO CASTING ! ) Simply lowering your bait down away from the boat can work as well, as these lads proved. I believe that the term "Uptiding" puts a lot of anglers off because they think that there is a certain specialist skill required for it. NOT SO! Anyone can do it ! A lighter rod can better for the job but we have lads who fish with us with 20 -30lb class gear and catch perfectly fine with it!
The Whitby Charter Skippers are holding their winter inshore competition from the 4th December - 12th Dec inc. With a 1st prize of £1000.00 and various daily cash prizes too it's well worth a go !! Nice to grab a grand for Xmas!!!!

Fishing Report by Gethyn Owen
on My Way 2 (Holyhead, Isle of Anglesey)
7 Nov 2010 by Gethyn Owen
Report on-board My Way 2
Autmn / Winter Fun Match number 2.
After a week of gale force winds, the weather gods once again looked down kindly upon us for this weekend. Residual swell on the Saturday gradually abated and left for a glorious day on the Sunday.
9 hearty souls arrived at the marina early Sunday morning to be greeted with calm seas, sunshine … and a cup of tea and chocolate bourbons.
After a brief review of the plans for the day, including an update on the weather that forecasted a southerly gale 8 by early evening we set sail for the mussel beds, were we would fish the last of the flood through to the first of the 31ft ebbing tide.
Fish were soon coming aboard, nothing too special to start; mainly dogfish, with the odd whiting and poor cod. As the tide turned a few huss came to the gunwales, with Wayne netting a nice 8lb bully, only to be out done by his farther with a double figure fish. Early indications showed it would be a tight match with Chris Gee, Chris Hamblin and Gareth P all contending the top slot.
Poor Tony though could only struggle on with a solitary dogfish whilst he looked for his friend Huey. On the stern Gaz joined in, he though had a friend called Ralph, though I did hear him call for Huey a couple times as well. B&B the night before is ace, too much beer, not so ace!!
As we lifted anchor to move into Church Bay and out of the fast running tide of the mussel beds, a quick tally showed that Chris Hamblin was putting his international experiences with Wales into effect and was edging Gareth out of the first place. Moving into Church bay and a quick look around and Leon was then getting to see what his breakfast looked like, I promise you, it wasn’t choppy at all, lol. In fairness though, it never stopped him fishing.
Once anchored up in the bay again the dogfish came into play, along with a few whiting, plenty of poor cod and some small huss. Despite his 3point huss, Wayne a novice angler dragged along for the day by his father was struggling to make an impact on the leader board, so a little coaching was on the cards. A little bit of advice on baiting up and also waiting for each bite to develop correctly was discussed to try and get Wayne catching double and treble shots of fish instead of the odd one as time went by. Wait… wait… let some line out, wait … put that bloody rod down …wait, ok reel in!! Well, something worked out right as Wayne then proceeded to reel in a double shot of dogfish and small ling. A brace a piece in his next two drops soon had the angler chomping at the bit for some more. Double patting, the method of preparing a second rig whilst one rig fished was then employed and Wayne’s catch rate soared.
With sausage butties for lunch, and more fish coming aboard it was soon time for our next move. As we lifted anchor at Church bay for our third move we could feel the wind freshening. A tally up here and now Gareth P was leading Chris Hamblin by a few points with Tony having found his sea legs and form rocketing into 3rd place.
Our first 30minutes on our final mark proved difficult as the increased wind swayed the boat around the anchor warp. Never the less the lads struggled on, adding more dogfish, a fair few whiting, dabs, poor cod and a couple pouting to score sheet. Conditions though were slowly deteriorating as the wind increased to 25mph.
Everyone struggled on, catching fish with Wayne continuing to bring in double after double.
At half four it was time to up anchor and get in before the wind blew too hard. Before we set sail I added up the score sheet and Wayne, the novice angler using My Way rod, reel, end tackle …. and know how – won the day by 1 point from Chris.
It was a great day afloat with a good bunch of lads made all the more sweeter with Liverpool spanking Chelsea ! View Boats Page
