Fishing Report by Kevin McKie

Report on-board Size Matters
[This report was written when Size Matters was operating from Plymouth]
It’s been an interesting week onboard
Size Matters based in Plymouth.
On one of the days we had ago for Thresher Sharks for the first time, a local commercial skipper give me a mark to try where last year in September he caught 3 Threshers to 600lb accidentally in his nets.
The area was very close to shore in much shallower water than we normally fish for sharks, we never caught a Thresher Shark but we did manage to catch two Porbeagle Sharks to 60lb and one Blue Shark at 55lb.
We where definitely in the right place because there was so much bait fish in the area and we didn’t hold back on chum.
We used 40kg of Mackerel, 20kg of Bran,
5 litres of Sardine oil, 5 litres of Cod liver oil,
1 litre of Salmon oil and 250mm of Halibut oil!!
It was the biggest chum trail I have ever seen at one point I thought we had polluted the English Channel, we will be back having another go for Threshers at the end of the month weather permitting.
The wreck fishing started off very slow this week, I went straight back to where I was doing well last week but the fish had moved off and it was a very tough day.
The next day I had Crediton Sea Anglers onboard for there monthly charter, I told the boys that the wreck fishing was very tough the day before but I wanted to try a wreck I hadn’t been to since July.
They where all up for the very long steam out but it was well worth it, the lads caught a total of 83 Pollack to 12lb, 2 Ling to 10lb, 1 Cod 5lb, 1 Coalfish 5lb and a cracking 4lb John Dory for good measure.
Since then the wreck fishing has been very good with plenty of Pollack to 14lb 8oz, Ling to 15lb, Coalfish to 7lb and Tub Gurnard to 4lb 8oz.
I have managed to pull Mr Graham Hannaford out of retirement to take the helm of
Size Matters his old boat for a week or so while I take some time off to become a Dad for the first time.

Fishing Report by Nick McGrane
on Gwen-Paul-M (Conwy, Conwy)
21 Aug 2018 by Nick McGrane
Report on-board Gwen-Paul-M
I went out with my son on the 21st of August with Carl on Gwen Paul from Conwy. Started a little slow, but when we found the Mackerel, we caught plenty to keep us in bait and for those who wanted to take some home. I really wanted to catch a Tope, but Carl wasn't hopeful. We ended up landing 4 on the boat, ranging from 15lb to a 30lber caught by my son. Lot's of other species, dogs, bull huss and whiting but the Tope were the stars of the trip. Great day out, very good and patient skipper . Would definitely recommend.

Report on-board Bad Boyz VI
Absolutely no words can describe how I am feeling right now!
Today we boated a fantastic Porbeagle just shy of the 100lb mark, an outstanding battle taking 2hrs 20 minutes on 20lb class Pollack set up, the first to be safely landed and released on a charter boat from Anglesey ������
A huge achievement for the lads on-board to whom I can only thank for making this happen ��������
Shark on!!!!!!!

Fishing Report by Kevin McKie
on Size Matters (Craobh Haven, Argyll & Bute)
Sep 2018 by Kevin McKie
Report on-board Size Matters
[This report was written when Size Matters was operating from Plymouth]
The fishing from Plymouth continues to be very good, here is what we have been catching since out last report.
Blue Shark to 102lb,
Conger to 56lb,
Blonde Ray to 25lb,
Ling to 20lb,
Pollack to 15lb,
Turbot to 9lb,
Bull Huss to 8lb,
John Dory to 4lb 6oz,
Tub Gurnard to 4lb,
Undulate Ray, Spotted Ray, Plaice, Bass, Garfish, Mackerel, Scad, Herring, Sardine, Whiting, Pouting, Poor Cod, Gray Gurnard, Red Gurnard, Spurdog, Dogfish,
The best day Sharking we caught 42 Blues to 102lb and losed a monster Blue next to the boat after a 30 min fight.
It was heart braking to lose it but at least we got to see such a cracking Blue Shark,
well over 180lb!!
Best day Wrecking on the drift was 59 Pollack and Ling to 13lb, all taken on artificial lures.
Our best day Wrecking doing both drifting and anchoring was 36 Pollack to 12lb, 31 Conger to 56lb and 2 Ling to 19lb between just 3 anglers!
The Conger fishing was slow on the neap tides this was due to another algae bloom.
Thankfully the algae has all cleared on the spring tides and the Conger fishing is very good once again.
We are seeing large shoals of Tuna daily now, most fish look in the 120lb to 150lb range.
It’s only a matter of time before we start catching the odd one or two while shark fishing.
Please note if any Tuna are caught accidentally while shark fishing they will be released at the side of the boat unharmed.
