  • 03/10/2020 Fishing Report by Steve Green on Brigand (Brighton, East Sussex)

    3 Oct 2020 by Steve Green

    Report on-board Brigand

    Made the most of a narrow weather window and headed offshore today to target some flatties. A fantastic group of anglers onboard who managed the conditions admirably. Pete led the way with a personal tally of 9 Turbot & Brill - excellent angling by a bloody nice bloke��.
    Sarron Ward left things late to boat a beautiful Brill and Damien Gary Marc Pantony got things together to land a steady stream of fish including 2 lovely Turbot.
    Heavy weather forecast for the next week so unlikely we will be getting out...... sooo frustrating!
    Our 2021 dates are now loaded and we have a new booking system coming online later this week which, I hope, will make the booking process easier and quicker with reduced burden my end so please keep an eye out for that.
    Best wishes

  • 10/2020 Fishing Report by Roger Lennon on Skerry Belle (Ramsgate, Kent)

    Oct 2020 by Roger Lennon

    Report on-board Skerry Belle

    After a very hectic summer season with some great fishing onboard we now turn our attention to the autumn and winter season. Cod have already turned up,(see photo) the autumn bass will start migrating south and this is where they feed big for there journey to warmer waters. Fish can easily exceed double figures so now is your chance for that new pb. Thornbacks will start feeding heavily along with channel whiting, dabs and spurdogs, all turning up around the Goodwins. I think autumn is my best fishing season with the crisp mornings, nice cuppa and bacon sarnie whilst heading to the fishing grounds.

  • 09/2020 Fishing Report by John Peck on Lady Margaret (Poole, Dorset)

    Sep 2020 by John Peck

    Report on-board Lady Margaret

    The fishing remains good as we head into autumn which is normally one of the best seasons with summer species still in residence and winter species making an appearance.

    We have spent most of the month doing inshore drifting trips. The main target has been plaice and generally the catches have been good although there has been the odd rather puzzling day where the fishing has been a bit slow despite seemingly excellent conditions. When the conditions are right and the fish are feeding hard we have had some superb sessions. There have been plenty of good sized fish around during the month.

    There are also lots of other species around including black, gilthead and Couch's bream, red mullet, smoothhounds, tub and grey gurnards amongst others.

    We haven't done much bass fishing during the month but when we have generally the results have been excellent. Still lots of small fish around and we have also seen some bigger fish in the 8lb and 9lb range coming aboard. We are still awaiting the first double figure of the year but have seen fish to 9lb 10oz. Great to see anglers wanting to release these magnificent, hard fighting big fish and only retain the smaller ones if they take any at all.

    We have only fished one short session at anchor which produced a whole variety of species including the more unusual rock cook and baillon's wrasse.

    I am pleased to say the mackerel have made a welcome return at the end of the month including some heavyweights over the 1lb mark.

  • 30/09/2020 Fishing Report by Rich Ward on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    Yesterday's trip.

    After gathering enough mackerel for the day on the 7 mile run we played around on the ground on the 9 mile and stayed there pretty much all day.

    The lads fished nicely throughout both tides and ended up with around 50 fish for the day. Ling to 11 lb and a nice few cod to the 5.5 lb mark.

    Mackerel and squid doing the business.

    Rod Wilkinson with his best fish of 11 lb.

    Cheers

  • 23/09/2020 Fishing Report by Colin Penny on Flamer IV (Weymouth, Dorset)

    23 Sep 2020 by Colin Penny

    Report on-board Flamer IV

    Peter Gillett, Lee Page, Glenn Barrett, Paul Musslewhite, Mark Bailey, Kelvin Bailey and the infamous Dodgey David Barton joined Flamer IV for their annual Angling Break. Their original 2020 Angling Break was cancelled in June because of lockdown.
    This time they managed to fish three out of the four days with the last day being cancelled due to a gale forecast.
    During their trip they caught a variety of fish which included Rays, Tope, Pollack, Black Bream, Congers, Turbot, Bass, Gurnards etc with Glenn Barrett also catching a Red Mullett.
    They did a competition over the first two days which Glenn Barrett won and Peter Gillett was Runner Up.
    The banter and friendliness on the boat was as good as ever.
    In the evenings the group did socialize but said it was not quite the same with all the necessary covid - 19 restrictions in place.
    All the guys stayed at The Marden Guest House which as usual was great and provide a superb service.
    The group have already booked their annual Angling Break for 2021.
    Pictured is Mark Bailey with his 30Ib Tope.
    Angling Breaks - Book Now, Don't miss Out,*** NOW TAKING BOOKINGS FOR 2021 *** A few days away fishing out of Weymouth along with the social side is a nice trip to do. The variety of fishing and the amount of different species caught at Weymouth is probably second to none. There are plenty of places to stay which are angler friendly and some excellent places to wine and dine around the harbour and in Weymouth Town centre. If you want to try a Weymouth Angling Break then contact me, I cater for whole boat charters and individuals. If you are interested in doing a trip with a difference please contact me for full details. Planning your trip well in advance is essential you need to arrange your boat/place booking and your accommodation as early as possible to avoid disappointment, some of my regular groups plan their trips at least 12 months in advance, this allows them to discuss with me the best tides for the type of fishing they are targeting.
