  • 06/2018 Fishing Report by Kevin McKie on Size Matters (Craobh Haven, Argyll & Bute)

    Jun 2018 by Kevin McKie

    Report on-board Size Matters

    [This report was written when Size Matters was operating from Plymouth]

    From now till mid October the fishing from Plymouth will be at its best.

    The Conger fishing has finally kicked off in style, over two days we fished a wreck I call the snake pit. This wreck back in the 90s produced some monster Conger to 106lb,
    The lads caught 126 Congers to 58lb, the reason we fished the same wreck over the two days was to try and get that 100lb+ Conger.

    Sadly it never happened this time but the lads enjoyed some outstanding fishing.

    Please note all Congers where returned alive to fight another day.

    Fishing on the drift with artificial lures and bait is producing lots of Ling to 28lb, Pollack to 13lb 8oz, Coalfish to 10lb and Cod to 7lb.

    We only have a few individual places available for 2018.

    PLYMOUTH.

    June 

    Thursday 28th Wrecking £75 pp 2 places available.

    July

    Thursday 12th Wrecking £75 pp 1 place available.

    If you are interested in booking a trip with us in 2019 from Plymouth we only have 14 days available.

    We have now started taking bookings for 2020 Summer season from Plymouth.

    Report on-board High Flyer 2

    Up to date June 7th 2018 been getting few rokers (thornback rays) most returned nice to see conservation, chased the mackerel in all the usual places out to about 15miles but nothing showed up yet . plenty of sandeels few gurnards and odd weaver on the feathers waters not too bad after about 12 miles bit of clarity. Been plagued with spotty dogs on some trips but all good sport keeping us busy still got the whiting im afraid one or two clonkers amongst them surprisingly. The cold weather few weeks ago putting the smoothounds back just getting the odd few decent ones mainly on peeler and as we have been keeping away from the bass spots only the odd schoolie weve caught all due to the total ban on them. So in all things have picked up a bit waiting for our first tope will be looking for them soon dont forget to look out for our specialist trips or if you have a certain date we can possibly accomadate you and make a trip up for you. Picture today of Eric Wright from Bedford with this weeks best roker of 10.5lb just broke the double figure mark believed it fell to fresh sandeel and herring coctail from memory. Wind back in the north for this weekend will be interesting to see what happens lets hope the winds are light as forcast! Until then tight lines everyone. Jon (High Flyer 2)

    Report on-board Al's Spirit

    With the fishing Inshore now finally in full swing .Now the mackerel are here in numbers we are getting good numbers of Tope , Spurdogs , Congers and Bull Huss on the rough ground. The mussel beds are still producing a few Plaice and the Shambles Bank is always a good bet for a chance of a good Turbot. Black Bream are about after spawning and numbers will increase.

    Report on-board High Flyer 2

    Another great day on the High Flyer 2. Tried the banks for Mackrel, unfortunately none today but we did get lots of sand eels which turned out great bait for the skate, doggies and smoothies we caught when we move closer inshore. Everyone caught decent fish and Jon looked after all to his usual high standards.

    Report on-board Bad Boyz VI

    Update - June

    This past week we have turned our attention to many of the offshore wrecks of the Irish sea, some days covering 80-100miles in search of the good eating, hard fighting Pollack.

    Some wrecks we have found plenty of fish, some wrecks Far fewer fish making the days patchy, hectic hours here and there.

    Average stamp of fish has been 4-7lb with the 8lb-12lb fish making an appearance most days.

    June and July is mostly booked up now, we have limited availability for August and September, also 2019 dairy is open and filling fast!

    Don't forget to get your Winter Mersey Cod dates sorted asap ��

    Let's hope the summer continues to bring settled weather ��������

  • 06/2018 Fishing Report by Rich Ward on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    Jun 2018 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    Ricky Butler, big Alister and their mates from Leeds joined us on Monday for the first of their trips this year.

    I'd explained that we'd been working in very shallow water lately and they would be getting literally a full days angling in their 10 hour trip as we didn't have to travel very far at all.

    We started off on the rock top just outside the harbour where we grabbed a few jumbo mackerel and a few codling to start the day.

    We then proceeded back to where we had been for the past 2 days and the lads were quite amazed at just how close to the shore we were when we stopped. Through the binoculars you could see rabbits running around on the side of the cliffs!! From the very start the lads were in to the cod catching on both the shads and the hokkai traces. A good number of double ups coming aboard on the multi hook traces.

    At the end of the day the lads ended up with well over 100 cod from the grounds.

    On the way back to port we had a stop at the "Bell bouy" to see if the mackerel were still there. They were. They bagged a further 70 -80 in just 2 drifts to take for the barbecue and friends.

    All in all a cracking day for the boys.

    Remember, the summer comp starts on the 23rd June. £5000.00 cash 1st prize!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Days left with room are :-

    Mon 25th. Room for 4.
    Thurs 12th July. Room for 6.
    Sun 15th. Room for 6.
    Individuals are welcome to join us as always.

    Cheers & tight lines as ever
