    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    A steady day on the fish yesterday on the Shy-Torque III.

    The ground on the 9 mile giving us the best picking of codling and ling. No monsters landed but a really enjoyable day.

    Fish falling to the baited rigs and the shads.

    My son Charlie started work with us at the start of the 6 week holidays and is loving the job! He is also enjoying catching a few too!! Charl is pictured inset.

    Room for a few next Wednesday and next Friday.

    Cheers
    Rich

  • 13/08/2019 Fishing Report by Colin Penny on Flamer IV (Weymouth, Dorset)

    13 Aug 2019 by Colin Penny

    Report on-board Flamer IV

    Reg Phillips and friends had their annual 5 day Angling Break cancelled in April so re scheduled for August.
    Flat Fish being the main target species, but several species have been caught on the Flat Fish tackle and baits ie Turbot, Brill, Tope, Bass, Undulate Ray,Blonde Ray, Conger, Dogfish, Mackerel, Scad etc.
    Mike Walker, Eathan Steaker and Paul Baxter were all "Turbot Virgins" but not any more as they have all caught Turbot now.
    The guys certainly know how to charm the skipper, they gave me a gift of 20 bags of black and red wine gums,"Thanks Guys" should last me for a while.
    Pictured is 74 year old Mike Walker with his first ever Turbot weighing 4Ib.

    ANGLING BREAKS - Note: I am now taking booking for 2020.

  • 08/2019 Fishing Report by Kevin McKie on Size Matters (Craobh Haven, Argyll & Bute)

    Aug 2019 by Kevin McKie

    Report on-board Size Matters

    [This report was written when Size Matters was operating from Plymouth]

    We managed to get out for a few days after nearly a week of bad weather.

    We had a group of anglers on from South Wales and Bristol who fish with us each year, the plan was to go for Conger.

    The water was like pea soup up to three miles out after all the bad weather and the mackerel where very hard to find, it took four hours to catch 50 pin mackerel, Pouting and Whiting for bait to put the anchor down.

    When we got the anchor down the lads where straight into Conger after a few hours the lads started to run out of bait so I fished for Whiting and Pouting on baited feathers.

    The lads done well considering the bait shortage, Conger to over 50lb, odd Ling and Cod.

    The lads pulled the hook on some nice Conger and lossed a few in the wreck, but that’s Conger fishing.

    Then I had a group of regulars on from Peterborough, they booked a four day Guernsey trip, but the with the weather forecast the only option was to fish from Plymouth for two days.

    We decided to stick to the reefs and we got quite lucky considering the way the weather has been and we where fishing neap tides.

    The lads caught plenty of Pollack to 8lb most where 4lb to 5lb, odd Bass to 5lb, odd Cod to 3lb and the first John Dory of the year.

    The weather looks quiet bad now for a few days, let’s hope it settles down quickly so we can get back out and try and make a few dreams come true.

    Thanks

  • 08/08/2019 Fishing Report by Shaun Pedley on Our Joe (Paignton, Devon)

    8 Aug 2019 by Shaun Pedley

    Report on-board Our Joe

    Today aboard Our Joe-L, Wreck Fishing with a different outcome . . . Again!

    One of the anglers I had aboard today managed to hook a Thresher Shark while drifting a Mid Channel Wreck. (Second time this has happened in just over a week so we was slightly more prepared this time)
    The hard runs in all direction confirmed it was a shark and I soon had all the other anglers reeling in the lures so we could give this one a good chance of at least being seen on the surface. The transom was free for Peter to fight the fish as I started steering the boat towards the fish. I’m glad I did when I noticed the tackle Peter was using, a light fladen multiplier reel and a 20lb class rod.

    We had everyone’s attention aboard and I have to say all 9 other anglers all helped out by telling me where the fish was running and getting out of the way very quickly when asked by me and Peter.

    After about 20mins and some brilliant fish fighting we saw the tail fin of a Thresher darting across the surface for around 80m then diving again, no jumping which I was surprised about after last weeks amazing mid air sighting!

    Just as the fighting became a little easier for Pete and he started to gain some decent amount of line without me driving the boat the line suddenly went all slack and the hook was spat!

    Some nice pollock caught today on the wrecks along with some very big Pouting. Shame we had no Ling today but you can’t have everything I guess. We was just lucky to get out in this small break in the weather.
    I’m thinking of running a couple of sharking trips throughout August and September now so if you’re interested, please let me know. This is now the 3rd different sighting of a Thresher Shark in the last month and 2 of them have been hooked.
