    Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3

    Stunning Spurdog weather
    Yesterday was one of the best February days I have ever had at sea, the weather was superb with flat calm seas and beautiful sunshine, we ventured out to fish for Spurdogs enjoying the smooth journey. We arrived just as the ebb tide was easing and once at anchor were quickly into small eels and the odd Spur as the tide eased and we thought it should get better the bites stopped completely as though a switch had been turned off, my colleagues to the west were still catching so a move was in order, as we were steaming I noticed a few contour lines on the chartplotter ahead of us so I slowed and came across a bank I had never fished before which was showing plenty of life. We set the anchor and started fishing which proved slow just as we were thinking of moving the fish gods turned the switch back on and all hell broke loose with spurs everywhere and the sizes were awesome with a total of 39 spurs landed and 30 of them over the Wessex specimen size the best falling to James at 23lb 4ozs.
    In amongst the Spurs were some nice size Tope around the 30lb mark and a few straps. In all considering it is February and 18 degrees warmer than this time last year we had an excellent day including getting a bit of an early tan as a bonus.

  • 26/02/2019 Fishing Report by Ross Parham on Spot On! (Brixham, Devon)

    26 Feb 2019 by Ross Parham

    Report on-board Spot On!

    Spot On has had her scrub and clean and 'NEW' coding complete and it was back to work straight after.
    With the wrecking difficult earlier this year it was great to get back out for another go and what a day we had.
    Plenty of prime double figure pollock hitting the net from the off with every drift.
    This is what this time of year is all about on the south coast and is simply some of the best fishing you can experience in the UK.
    A bonus 12lb 4oz bass for local angler Alan which took a sidewinder lure.
    A new PB for him and what a start to 2019 that's for sure.
    Bass safely returned.

    Big thanks to boat sponsors sidewinder lures and Top Rigs for there support.

    Spot On has a busy year planned and new ventures lay ahead.

    Pictures is the monster bass 12lb 4oz

  • 02/2019 Fishing Report by Kevin McKie on Size Matters (Craobh Haven, Argyll & Bute)

    Feb 2019 by Kevin McKie

    Report on-board Size Matters

    Size Matters has now moved to Croabh Haven Scotland, we will be here till mid June mostly targeting Common Skate.

    We do have much bigger plans while we are here, when the weather allows I will give everyone the option of fishing the many reefs and wrecks offshore over 40 to 60 miles out.

    For the more adventurous anglers I will give them the option of trying for sharks and even trips out to the continental shelf on 48 hour charters.

    I have May 2nd and 3rd whole boat available this would be the perfect opportunity to head out to the shelf for a crack at a six gill shark or god knows what else lives out there.

    Just in case you are wondering how we will get the anchor down on the shelf we have 2300ft of rope onboard and 100ft on chain especially for these type of trips.

    On the trip from Liverpool to Scotland we struggled to catch anything on the wrecks and broken ground marks off the Isle of Man.

    So we got a heads up from two of my mates to try a mark off Port Logan for skate bait, thanks lads.

    Before heading to Croabh Haven Marina we decide to try for a Skate because the weather was so nice it was more like costa del Scotland then normal Scotland.

    No wind and the sun was out, in just 3 hours fishing we had 4 Skate 191lb, 190lb, 178lb, 170lb and dropped 2, we even had a treble hook up with just two of us on the boat, that was fun.

    The new Shimano Tyrnos 80lb class stands up sticks and Tyrnos 30 twin speed reels have cut the fight time down to 20 to 35 mins, this is much better for the Skate and angler.

    I got lucky with the biggest and it had a data tag on it with a £50 reward, nice little Scottish sweetener or a welcome back present from the Skate gods ha ha.

    We have arrived early so we have a few dates available this week.

    Friday 1st 3 places available £110 pp.

    Report on-board Flamer IV

    THE FLAMER IV POLLACK COMPETITION - took place in some lovely weather. The fishing was very poor in the morning but after trying several wrecks, at 11.50 it was like a switch had been turned on and the first Pollack came aboard caught by Keith Williams a steady catch of Pollack followed for the next two hours with Neil Cornelius leading the way with a 9Ib 8oz fish, as the tide eased we then moved to another wreck and the two best Pollack of the day were caught there along with a few others. The best lure of the day was certainly the Bubble Gum Pink Red Gill.
