Fishing Report by Scott Belbin
on Galloper (Brightlingsea, Essex)
Mar 2018 by Scott Belbin
Report on-board Galloper
Following on from my last report on here the fishing has been quite good to start off the year here at mersea. The weather has been pretty favourable until this week and we have managed to get most trips in. what we are hatching has varied quite a bit depending on the tides and where we can get to. As many others boats in the area have reported there have been far better numbers of codling than the last couple of seasons. Most trips are producing a few codling and thorn-back rays with 6-12 codling an average sort of trip. Our best trip so far this year has been 23 codling along with a few rays, pouting, a dogfish, a bass and lots of whiting up to 43cm! this cold snap seems to have slowed some of the fish up since then but I would expect it to improve as we approach the end of the season.
The dogfish and thorn-backs don’t tend to like the cold weather much but when we do get a couple of weeks of warmer weather they will soon push into our shallow coastal waters which warm up first. With any luck we will still have codling mixed in too which along with the other bits and bobs makes for some nice spring sport.

Fishing Report by Gethyn Owen
on My Way 2 (Holyhead, Isle of Anglesey)
Feb 2018 by Gethyn Owen
Report on-board My Way 2
We’ve been enjoying some settled weather off late and managing to get afloat on 6 days from the last 9. Coming to an end today as the cold winds with a F5 – 7 easterley forecasted.
Fishing has been consistent for the time of year. Inshore offering up plenty of fish dogs, whiting and huss the majority of catches with dabs, pout, coalies and straps amongst the others.
When we’ve pushed out to Holyhead Deep we’ve been rewarded with huss and some good double figure spurdogs.
Good weather, good fishing, good crews, some excellent food and a good few laughs along the way.

Feb 2018 by TERRY BATT
Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
well fishing continues to improve with some nice spring Cod showing on nearly all trips now up to 11-15 per trip on a good day along with the spring appearance of the Thornback Rays up to 13 lbs so although a bit cold out there as you may know on our vessel Vanishing Point-2 the huge wheelhouse is kept to around 68 degrees all day long as we never turn the heating system off while out at sea, so you can either sit outside in the cold.... or watch your rod from the comfort of your seat in the warm inside.....
If you fancy a trip call me on : 07768 30 66 46 a few weekend dates still available (not many) but plenty of mid-week dates still available View Boats Page

on Flamer IV (Weymouth, Dorset)

Report on-board Flamer IV
Dave Metcalf and crew joned Flamer IV for the first of their 2018 two day Angling Breaks. Both days were spent fishing at anchor on banks which produced numerous Rays along with Smooth Hounds, Congers, Whiting and the usual Dogfish and Pouts. Pictured is Jim Birnie with his 12Ib 9oz Undulate Ray. The lads used downtide and uptide methods with squid and mackerel cocktail baits. They are looking forward to their next 2 day Angling Break on Flamer IV in May.
Weymouth Angling Breaks - Book Now, Don't miss Out,*** NOW TAKING BOOKINGS FOR 2018 ***
A few days away fishing out of Weymouth along with the social side is a nice trip to do.The variety of fishing and the amount of different species caught at Weymouth is probably second to none.There are plenty of places to stay which are angler friendly and some excellent places to wine and dine around the harbour and in Weymouth Town centre.
If you want to try a Weymouth Angling Break then contact me, I cater for whole boat charters and individuals.
Planning your trip well in advance is essential you need to arrange your boat booking and your accommodation as early as possible to avoid disappointment, some of my regular groups plan their trips at least 12 months in advance, this allows them to discuss with me the best tides for the type of fishing they are targeting.

Fishing Report by Rich Cope
on Mistress (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
19 Feb 2018 by Rich Cope
Report on-board Mistress
The fishing remains steady here at Whitby as it has done all winter. Sorry this report is a bit late in còming for last weekend. We were busy all weekend from friday through to sunday.
Each day averaged 50/60 codlings to keep with 20-30 chuckbacks too so the rods were nodding away steady all the time.
Best baits remain unwashed squid and black lug.
As long as the weather stays settled we will be starting to venture out to wrecks in the next week or so. I have a mini break booked in so charters will resume from Tuesday 27th Feb.
If youre interested in a trip with me on Mistress here at Whitby, give me a call or text on 07977 436903. Prices start at £5 per hour per person. Tackle and bait can be supplied at cost.
