Report on-board TopCat Charters
We had the pleasure of having Skerry Bell's Skipper, Roger onboard TopCat Charters today. Roger and his party wanted something a bit different, target some Turbot, celebrate his Birthday, take a day off skippering and relaxing on TopCat Charters. We caught Turbot, Plaice, Bass, DogFish, Mackerel, SandEels and Pouting. The weather was against us, it was a bit bumpy but the sun was out and the fish was fighting.

Fishing Report by Sam Cumming
on Silver Spray II (Poole, Dorset)
Jul 2019 by Sam Cumming
Report on-board Silver Spray II
Where to start with the last 4 weeks? It seems like we have done so many different things, this variety is one of the strengths of fishing from Poole. We will start inshore and the arrival of the mackerel in better numbers seems to have encouraged the rays to come on a bit stronger. Undulates and blondes being the main target with a few other spotties and thornbacks dotted about. One short evening trip saw us land so many undulates we broke the golden rule and moved off the fish, only to be rewarded with even more rays at the next mark. Many of the inshore marks for rays are covered in tiny bream at the moment so you should check your baits frequently as often anglers are just left with skin on the hook after the bream have pecked all the meat off it. Good for the future stocks of one of our main species. On the drift the plaice fishing has been awesome with fish coming to the net regularly to the 3lb plus mark, this type of fishing should continue until October so plenty of time to get booked on if you fancy a crack at them. Last week we had such a frantic day that we fished until we ran out of bait. The plaice fed pretty the whole day long, even when we were drifting at 2 knots. Great fun on the spinning rods and good to see the lads putting so many back for future trips. Bass fishing continues to show signs of improvement this year with plenty of fish still taking the lures on the banks, again good fun on lighter tackle when accompanied with a couple of hours fishing at anchor for the tope with the heavy stuff. Freelining and float fishing has also started well with Tony Methvan landing only his second ever bass at just over 8lb, we will be doing more on the floats and freeline in the coming weeks. The shark fishing is under way for this year and we have a few spaces on trips starting in early August, all our encounters so far have come on tope or conger gear so you’re never guaranteed to get the fish the surface. Hopefully we can hook into one on suitable tackle soon. Tight Lines for the coming weeks!!!

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Been a long while since we reported lads, sorry.
With the summer festival and a very nice spell of settled weather this is the first chance I've had really.
The competition went really well with only 4 days being lost due to the weather. The fishing was quite hard at times but we did have some good results. The anglers on the Shy - Torque III taking more daily prizes than any other entrant again which was good. Well done to all those! A big thank you to everyone who joined the boat to have a go. Hopefully see you again soon.
We didn't secure any of the top prizes in the event but I reckon we had a couple of potentials on and lost them. Nigel Hall who won the spring competition with us had a really strong fish on on the 3rd day but didn't see it!
I'd like to thank all our sponsors for this years competition and hope they will be on board with us next year too. Always a huge help to us.
Also, I' like to congratulate my mate John Wilford on landing the best fish of the competition on his boat. Well done mate. Here's to a few more for you hopefully!!
The September competition is the next one here at Whitby which starts on the 7th Sept and runs for a fortnight to the 22nd Sept. Come and have a go in that one if you fancy it. Still some spaces left.
First prize is a very nice £1000.00 in cash!!
One of our many daily prize winning fish pictured inset.
Cheers for now and tight lines as ever and enjoy this cracking weather!!

Report on-board Blueye 2
Had a trip up north this weekend which was hampered by fast drifts for most of the trip with wind and tide but it didn't stop us catching a few fish, cod to 8-9lb along with ling around the same size, ended Saturdays trip with around 30 fish all of which were cod around 3-5lb and a couple ling amongst them. Sundays trip started off fantastic with the weather and by lunchtime we had around 40 maybe 45 fish with some cracking cod in amongst them, then the wind come pushing us along at over 2kts, spoilt what was destined to be a good day. 2 party's full of cracking folk and two great days all the same, thanks for coming guys.
This coming week we are out Wednesday, Friday and Saturday evening 5-9pm, with availability on all 3 trips @ £25pp, Rod and reel hire is available on request at £5 per set.
