Report on-board Size Matters
[This report was written when Size Matters was operating from Plymouth]
I had a group of regular anglers on today from Bristol, they wanted to try for some big Ling.
Conditions where perfect to target big Ling on the drift, no wind and a neap tide.
So I decided to take the lads to one of my honey holes where I have caught lots of monster Ling over the years.
As soon as we got to my chosen mark the lads where in to Ling from the first drift.
We also put a rod out for mackerel and they where coming in by the string full, FINALLY!!!
The lads caught 30+ Ling, 8 Conger and a Sunfish.
The biggest Ling was caught by 70 year old Chris Brown, it tipped the scales at 36lb 8oz and was the biggest Ling he has every caught in 55 years of fishing!
It was his first time onboard Size Matters and I am sure it won’t be his last.
I have a fishing club out with me on Sunday July 15th they have 4 places available.
I also have a fishing club out with me on Saturday and Sunday September 15th and 16th, they have 1 place available.
Thanks

Report on-board High Flyer 2
Keeping you up to date july 4th 2018 started off with the feathers usual hundreds of sandeels odd gurnard few small flatties. only half dozen mackerel still bit thin on the ground water seems to be clearing on about the ten mile mark. Had a quick go for tope one small run amounted to nothing. Decided to head inshore picking up few smoothounds and one skate pictured here today with holidaymakers Loius and Rebecca first time out on High Flyer 2. Decided with easterly wind pressing to head home and catch last few ours up north beach for few more smoothys cant complain about the day with a east blowing as well could of done with few more but isnt that always the case! Big thanks to everyone for the day and thanks to Ian and James for washing down very much appreciated. Hope to see you all soon. Cheers Jon (High Flyer 2)

Report on-board Size Matters
[This report was written when Size Matters was operating from Plymouth]
A very nice day yesterday, I had a group of 4 anglers onboard who hired the whole boat, they landed,
80+ Pollack to 13lb, 6 Coalfish to 8lb,
1 Ling 6lb, 15 Blue Sharks to 70lb+ and a good old Sunfish for good measure!!
When we where sharking there was no mackerel at all so we used the fish frames and guts as chum.
The amount of May weed in the water was so bad that we had to clean the shark traces every 30 mins.
Some very good news is we seen two very big Tuna come out the water about 50 yards from the boat feeding on bait fish.
So things are looking good for the rest of the summer season in Plymouth.
I have had a few cancellations for August,
28th Whole boat available.
29th While boat available.
30th 3 places available on a 23 hour sharking trip cost is £220 per person, max 6 anglers everything is included.
Thanks

on Flamer IV (Weymouth, Dorset)
5 Jul 2018 by Colin Penny
Report on-board Flamer IV
Did two days drifting two different banks and caught Turbot and Brill along with a few other species ie Blonde Ray,Gurnard, Lesser Weaver and the usual Dogfish. VIRGINS - Martin Smith was a Turbot and Brill virgin and was pleased as he caught both species, John Walsh from Southern Ireland was a Turbot virgin but not any more as he caught several, Nicholas Holden also caught his first ever Turbot.
SHARK ATTACK - Flamer IV regular Denise Youngs was trying to catch some fresh Mackerel for bait when she hooked some and was bringing them to the boat her rod bent over and then went slack then we saw a Shark thrashing around on the surface who had obviously grabbed the mackerel and half of Denise's Mackerel tinsel lures. A bit later the Shark was seen again following anglers baits up to the boat and the Shark was about 6 foot long. Pictured is John Walsh with a 5Ib 9oz Turbot.

Fishing Report by Carl Farrar
on TROT- ON (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
5 Jul 2018 by Carl Farrar
Report on-board TROT- ON
The boys from Drax power station had a fantastic day on Trot On, with around 20 stone of coddling and around a dozen Ling coming aboard. The water is still quite murky on the inside so most of the fish fell to squid and mackerel cocktail baits Martin Harrison had a coddling that was so Orange it was first mistaken for a Wrasse and after a quick photo call was safely returned to fight another day for your chance of getting in on the action give Whitby's Premier charter boat skipper Paul Eddon a call on 07766995847 and fill ypur freezers

Report on-board Channel Warrior
June saw the arrival of the cod not huge numbers of them but none the less they have arrived. The pollock have thinned out a bit towards the end of June and generally smaller fish. The plaice fishing is good some days but not as good as recent years. Mackerel well goodness knows what’s happened to them they seem to be very scarce in most places down in the south. We had our first bream of the year in the last week of the month, let’s hope this glorious weather keeps going for many weeks to come.
Tight lines all
