  • 15/03/2010 Fishing Report by Sam Cumming on Silver Spray II (Poole, Dorset)

    15 Mar 2010 by Sam Cumming

    Report on-board Silver Spray II

    March Report

    On the banks the fishing has continued to be excellent on the neap tides with plenty of blonde rays, congers and big spurdogs. We have also had some bonus pollack, cod and bass to go with the main catch. Sky sports have made a film of our banks fishing and you can see this soon on Tight Lines which is broadcast on Friday evenings. While presenter Andy Ford and the film crew were aboard we had cod to 15lb, congers to 35lb and 10 spurdogs all in double figures. It will be shown on Tight lines Friday 9th April at 18.30 on Sky Sports 2

    The plaice have started to appear on the Shambles and the best was a lovely fish of 4lb 8oz which fell to Bournemouth angler Dave Jensen. Turbot have been slow which is perhaps linked to the shortage of sandeels. We managed 1 eel in 2 20 minute tows. The water seems to be too cold and the eels are still buried in the sand. On the offshore wrecks we have found a few Pollack to 14lb and congers to 50lb.

    We are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the bream in April together with the turbot on the banks and increasing numbers of Pollack and cod on the offshore wrecks.

  • 31/03/2010 Fishing Report by David Hancock on Excel 2 (Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire)

    31 Mar 2010 by David Hancock

    Report on-board Excel 2

    Thankfully the days we have been able to do the long distance trips we`ve found good amounts of quality cod and some stonking pollock. It`s always a worry this time of year in case we get out there and find the water coloured or the wrecks empty of fish.

    The inshore fishing has been odd to say the least, one day great, 10/15 nice plump spring coddies and 6/8 skate thrown in for good measure. The next day almost nothing even struggling to catch doggies, as if someone has hit the OFF switch !

    Hopefully it`ll settle into a nice steady rhythm now as the Skate move closer inshore as the temperatures rise and we get the last of the spring run cods, lots to look forward to . . .

    Happy fishing,
    Dave.

    Report on-board Razorbill 3

    The weather was all over the place , Strong winds heavy rain to start, bright sunshine calm seas then gail force winds and rain to finish, all we needed was snow thunder and lightening and we had the full works!!!! But on top of all that we we had a great day's fishing, Three anglers had 36 THORNBACKS to 13lb and 1 cod to 6lb, Kieth Hadrell landed the biggest THORNBACK.

  • 30/03/2010 Fishing Report by Rich Ward on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    30 Mar 2010 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    The last few trips here at Whitby have proven quite fruitful with the ground inshore ( 9 mile ) producing some nice cod on the shad this last week. The offshore marks such as the " Wall " ( 27 miles ) are fishing very well when we can get there for the weather. The next trip out is this weekend. Lets hope the weather holds favourable for all anglers around the country.......cheers.........Rich
