on Duke IV (Ramsgate, Kent)

Report on-board Duke IV
The fishing off Ramsgate carries on apace with Quality Smoothounds here in numbers. Chris Wards group from London landing 16 to 10lb along with Bass and a solitary Thornback. Daniel Hays group also from London upped the anti with 23 Hounds to 12lb along with Mackerel and the obligatory Skate, both groups fishing on Duke IV elected to return all the Smoothounds bar 1 that was badly hooked.
The Bass and Mackerel are still patchy with double figure Bass few & far between, hopefully the big girls will arrive soon with August usually the best month for these fantastic fish. The Cod still on the wrecks although declining in numbers. Pollack will increase in numbers along with Bass and maybe Black Bream to keep the wreckfishing interesting but with the inshore fishing so good, why go wrecking?
Quality Whiting still around, these fish have been here since last September giving good sport over the slack tide period

Report on-board Flamer IV
JUNE 2009 REPORT - The cod fishing on the offshore wrecks was just superb with many cod up to 16Ib being caught on a variety of lures,but my favourite was the rhubarb and custard sidewinder which also accounted for some ling,pollack and bass.Ling were also taken on baits.Turbot and Brill were consistant from the Shambles Bank.Also had a 16Ib 12oz Turbot while drifting a wreck.
The reefs produced conger,huss,bream,rays,tope etc and on one particular day over 120 spurdogs up to 15Ib in a frantic three hour session and they were all returned alive.A 5 day west country trip was done and was a success,so much that a 7 dayer is being planned for june 2010(if interested then contact me for details).40 different species have now been caught on Flamer III in 2009.
Flamer Fish of the Month for June was awarded to Ryan Phayer for his 7Ib 2oz Tub Gurnard. View Boats Page

Report on-board Falmouth Sea Fishing
I went out today with Frank on the Carrick. I had to make a report because I have never before experienced such an all round complete package as good as this!!
We decided to start the day 'on the Cod' within an hour on the first mark we had boated a couple of dozen fish to around 12lb with a number of good sized double hook ups!
We then went off for a conger-once again and unbelievably Frank put us straight on the mark. We boated 4 conger to around 35lb within an hour and a half.
On the way back in, we stopped for a couple of hopeful bass drifts. We boated 5 bass on 3 drifts, right under the noses of another boat that had un successfully being drifting the mark all day!!!
The boat hand Guy, was fantastic, bacon butty waiting when we boarded and tea and coffee on demand!! He was like 'Johny on the spot' with the net, and was extremely knowledgeable on the tactics and tackle.
Ive spoken to a number of freinds and will be booking again as soon as possible.
Thanks Frank--Best day on a charter boat for me for many many years.

Getting amongst the Thornbacks again with some quality fish. Mark Kingsmill's group from Kent having a fine day, landing some 15, along with Whiting, Bass and Dogfish. Wreck fishing still good although slowing slightly for the Cod with more Pollack turning up. Mackeral around although the northerly wind stirring up the water making them a bit hit or miss. Summer fishing should be at its best over the next month!

SPUR'S R'US - Malcolm Chalk and his crew from Essex came out on Flamer III for 5 days and enjoyed some good fishing catching cod,ling,brill,turbot,bull huss,conger,smooth hounds etc and a 7Ib 2oz tub gurnard.But on their fourth day something special and unusual happened.I decided to take them tope fishing but we did see a tope but caught over 120 spurdogs up to 15Ib in a frantic three hour session.I personaly have never seen spurdog fishing like it before and may never see it agian.In fact as they were bringing up the hooked ones several other spurs were following on behind,it was just an increadable sight.I am pleased to say every spur was released alive.Needless to say Malcolm and the lads enjoyed their expierience.
Fishing just never ceases to amaze me and I always say every day is different in the fishing world and events like this just want you and the customers to keep coming back for more.
