Fishing Report by Rich Ward
on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
Nov 2017 by Rich Ward
Report on-board Shy-Torque III
A complete reversal on the forecasts yesterday for us. Lovely calm weather to start the day with an increasing WNW predicted for the afternoon.
We left the harbour at 7.15 am and with conditions being perfect we opted for a run offshore to a couple of marks on the 20 + mile.
I knew that these marks hadn't been touched for a good few weeks so hopefully we were in with a chance of a few. The lads armed themselves with bait traces and immediately were were among the fish from the off. Great for everyone as every fish that came up on the 1st drift were Cod too! This continued for a good 3 hours and with a few doubles and even trebles coming up the fish boxes were soon starting to look very healthy indeed. We never moved from the 1st mark either which was a proper bonus! Numbers at the end would be well over 100 cod and 15 - 20 Ling too. No monsters taken, but our lady angler Janine Potts from Leeds had the heaviest of the day, a nice Ling of 9 lb 2 oz. No Cod above 7 lb on the trip but most around the 5-6 lb mark.
Unfortunately the breeze did arrive just after slack water and we decided that we all had enough fish and we made for port where I would fillet everything down for the lads (and lass!)
The offshore Cod fishing can very often be great at this time of year and through the winter months too.
The group are pictured with a few of their catch.
Tight lines as ever....

Fishing Report by Lyle Stantiford
on Supanova II (Weymouth, Dorset)
Nov 2017 by Lyle Stantiford
Report on-board Supanova II
Well I have been hopeless with reports this year, it's been manic old year, please accept my apologies.
How has it been i hear you ask?????? Well in all honesty its been a pretty tough season all in all, expectations were high but at times it has been disappointing. Little glimmers of Brilliance but they didn't seem to last long enough to be reliable.
The early wrecking season was good with good catches of Pollack and then a fantastic month of ling on the small tides, the best I have seen for in excess of a decade. At the end of the Ling we would expect the Cod to arrive but they just didn't seem to appear in any great numbers, they are one of those cyclical species so we weren't too perturbed as usually the lack of competition for food means the Pollack will home back in on the wrecks for the summer months. Unusually they didn't which made for a tough old time wrecking wise in June and July.
As the summer rolls on our usual attentions turn to the inshore fishing and this has been our saving grace this year that's for sure. Fantastic sessions on the anchor have seen ungulates to 18b, Blondes to 28b, Toe to 50lb, Huss to just under 15lb, More congers than you can shake a stick at and the real saving grace for the summer Autumn has been the outstanding Black Bream fishing both inshore and on the Wrecks. I don't think I have ever seen a year with more Bream over 4lb than this year.
The Banks have fished steadily for Turbot and Brill throughout the summer/autumn but the majority have been small with a few better Brill of late. I have been focussing some time on a little Mark I have been fishing the last few years for Turbot and Brill and while you don't see loads of fish the quality has been good so I hope to spend a bit more time at it next summer.
The Channel islands has been very poor on a whole. A couple of early trips weren't too bad and the later trips were actually pretty good with a good mixed bag. Good Bassing, amazing Bream, Couch's included, a run of flats and some monster Tope. I'm not too worried however as it has been bad before in my early days and what followed was the best fishing anyone has seen over there. Fingers Crossed for 2018.
Competitions this year have been very successful, The conger comp was a huge success and we finally managed to win it with a fish of 73lb For Rod Adamson to take the title over the three days.
The 5 day WIBAC (Weymouth international boat angling challenge) was once again a huge success with anglers coming from all over Europe to battle it out. Winner after the 5 day multi discipline was Jon Law from wales who walked away with a cool £3000 for his efforts. Once again we were on a roll and Managed to clinch Top Boat for the week.
The support to us all here in Weymouth has just been superb this year and exciting opportunities lie ahead for us here. We thank all who continue to support our wonderful port and long may it continue!
Tight Lines,
Lyle

Report on-board Obsession
Well the weather has been very hit or miss for a while, one minute blowing a gale then a run of 2 or 3 days with no wind.
We have managed to put to sea several times in the last couple of weeks and the results have been very good.
Lovely plump Pollock and some Cod putting in an appearance, and tighter inshore out of the wind we have had some superb days on the Ray and Plaice.
Looking forward to hopefully some settled weather arriving so we can get out and get some " Biguns and Whoppers"
Also its been a emotional few weeks with the loss of one of our great friends Alastair Finch who sadly passed away. RIP dear friend
All the Best
