Well done all for fishing hard in extreme conditions yesterday !
26 to 28 Knts of South Westerly kept us from getting offshore but it really wasn`t a problem as loads of fish showed close inshore.
Just a short steam from Ramsgate Harbour and we found lots of Doggies, lots of whiting and a few codling.
Great to see the return of some big whiting, probably better eating than the cod ! View Boats Page

Report on-board My Way 2
24.10.10 My Way for Fish, Food and much Banter, report by John Angell
Me and Azzy set off from Shrewsbury as we had managed to beat the Weather this weekend to get out aboard My Way with stand in Skipper Paul "The Chef" Whittle while Mr Owen was watching the 1 man red team take on Blackburn.
9am set sail and a few introductions around the boat before Paul went over the days itinerary. The day was one of Geths FUN COMPS and we wasted no time chugging off to the first mark, which was to be a drift over a reef.
No time was wasted as Ballan and Cuckoo wrasse started to come aboard as well as some nice Pollack and a couple of good size codling (looking up for the winters fishing if they come inshore).
We then moved on to the mussel beds on anchor for a chance at some larger fish so I thought, lets upgrade to a heavier rig, well all that got me were Dogfish as people on their 3-down rigs were pulling in whiting, codling and even a 13lb Bull Huss for a surprised first timer who was a pike fisherman in his other life LOL.
So I went with the crowd and switched and was rewarded with my own huss although not as large LOL and also a lovely Tub Gurnard to add to my species list.
After a scrummy chilli and gawjus Lemon cake we upped anchor and moved to "The Mud" lol where we had some of our best fishing. Whiting to so good sizes, and Dogfish were a regular for everyone but we also managed a total of 7 Ray aboard including my first raymond since I was 11 aboard the Viking in Barmouth and also my first EVER Spotted Ray (pictured top left).
Now it looks small but its deceiving because I'm a big bloke, huge in fact, freakishly some may say also Azzy had this little beauty (left).
All in all we must have boated about 300 fish between 8 of us which for late October has to be great.
me and Azzy ended up on exactly the same points in the end and took joint third with one of the first timers.
Again another memorable trip aboard My Way and the added excitement of the competition made it all more pleasurable and edgy LOL.
Thanks again Paul and Gethyn as I knew you were there in spirit and as a nagging text message tone LOL

Tides building nicely this week but we are beset by wind .
Luckily the cod and whiting are close inshore so we can get out to them in sheltered waters.
Squid, cuttlefish and lugworm proving to be the most effective baits, in that order.
Happy Hookin, View Boats Page

Report on-board Supreme
Booked a trip last minute as an individual with skipper Steve Andrews on the supreme 2. It was a 10 hour trip on the river mersey, the weather was good. Had a great day i caught lots of rays,whiting and dog fish. The other lads caught dog fish,cod,dab and whiting.
For the first trip out on this boat i found it to be excellent, and the skipper was knowledgable and helpful with tips, and when we found that the fishing was drying up in a particular spot he was more than willing to move to another spot.
I think i can say for myslf and for the other lads that we can reccomend this boat whether you're an individual or a group.
There were three first time fisherman on board and they all had a good day using the skipper's rods and rigs which never failed to catch them some fish.
Id just like to say thanks to the skipper and all the lads on the boat for the food, drink, especially Jules as his curry and onion bargies hit the spot.
Hope to catch up with them all again sometime soon.
Cheers

Report on-board Eastern Promise 2
Cod are showing !!!!!!!!!!
7 Anglers on the boat.
Fishing was almost non stop because of the huge numbers of small whiting also doggies shed loads of doggies.
Fish kept for the pot included 2 Cod, 3 Thornback’s, 4 or 5 of the larger Whiting & about a dozen of the bigger Dogfish.
I know they are hard work but if you remove the bone from Dogfish cut into chunks and arrange on a plate and grill for a few minutes then pour over a cheese sauce and return to the grill until the sauce starts to brown you might view these fish differently.
Thanks Derek View Boats Page
