    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.

    June has been a super month again, lots of cod on the wrecks.

    Now looking forward to July for those Big Momma Bass !
    Top tip, Fresh Mackeral fillets fished hard on the bottom in coloured water will get results.

    Report on-board Duke IV

    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!

    Report on-board Flamer IV

    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.

    Report on-board Sally Ann Jo

    13th, 14th June, what a briliant weekend for the weather, shame the small tides made the fish difficult to keep on the feed, we still managed a good number of bream and three undulate rays between 13lb and 14lb. With weather that good everyone enjoyed themselves, let there be many more.
