Fishing Report by Nigel Lihou
on Optimist (Brixham, Devon)
May 2019 by Nigel Lihou
Report on-board Optimist
May proved to be a strange month with half day trips to the inshore wrecks out to 12miles producing very little except for the bountiful Pouting (aka Brixham Cod). There are Pollack but not very big, There are big Pollack out there but the distances travelled are in the region of 30 to 40 miles out. (more travelling time less fishing)
The Skerries are as usual producing a variety of fish and have good days and bad days and we have seen some really good Plaice aboard already this year.
Don't forget our competition throughout the months of June, July and August we will be recording the size, weight and dimensions of every Ray caught aboard Optimist, Tagging and Releasing the Rays and the Angler with the biggest will have a whole day trip of their choice during September for them and up to 5 friends and a tackle prize courtesy of Brixham Bait and Tackle. Don't miss out book up for your chance to be in the competition.

Report on-board Mistress
Ive been meaning to drop an update onto our page from the Whitby Charter Skippers Association - R.N.L.I charity boat angling competition on 09/06/2019
We'd had a tough day on our charter, so no one was more surprised than me when I followed a hunch and it really paid off for us. We fished just one wreck on the evening and it was non stop the whole time with 3 or 4 rods in every drift.

Fishing Report by Gareth Jones
on Spot On! (Brixham, Devon)
11 Jun 2019 by Gareth Jones
Report on-board Spot On!
The four of us travel from Poole each year for two or three wrecking trips on Spot On. The Monday wrecking trip was very successful with the four of us catching a total of 30 pollack, but no other species. The Tuesday trip was blown off, so we went fly fishing instead. The Wednesday trip was eagerly anticipated so the four of us confirmed our standard £5 bet of the first to get a Triple Crown. The triple crown is achieved by catching three species from cod, pollack, bass, coal fish, ling, John Dory and Angler fish. We usually have a £10 bet for a Grand Slam, which is four fish from the seven species, all caught on the same trip, but we all failed to confirm this bet.
Ross first tried the three closest wrecks and I got a ling on the first drift. We didn't stay long and soon moved to the second wreck where I caught a bass, again on the first drift. Nothing on the third drift so we moved to the mid channel wrecks where I caught a pollack on the third drift and happily took £5 each from my three colleagues. We moved to a second mid channel wreck where I caught a cod. For the first time in twelve years of fishing in Dorset and Devon I has competed our aptly named Grand Slam. I thank Ross for the opportunity to do this along with my three mates for their £15 contribution to my beer fund.
PS - on the Monday trip on of the anglers caught a coal fish, but alas no JDs or angler fish. View Boats Page

Some excellent bass fishing onboard the Skerry Belle at the moment. With Dave booking a trip with us catching a fish of 11lb 6oz, and then directly after catching another of just over 12lb. Many other good fish coming up between the 6 and 8lb bracket with the occasional double thrown in. Still plenty of big hounds on crab baits. Thornback Rays and mackerel on feathers. To book a bass trip with tuition contact the skipper on 07805250427.
