  • 10/2017 Fishing Report by Sam Cumming on Silver Spray II (Poole, Dorset)

    Oct 2017 by Sam Cumming

    Report on-board Silver Spray II

    Top trip for last month was certainly our final trip over to Alderney for the year. I've always liked going across the channel this late in the season, providing you can get a bit of favourable weather, the fishing is never disappointing. Day one saw a decent enough session at anchor on a wreck for congers and bream, unfortunately no ling this time around which was disappointing as we had plenty the week before. Day Two started off with Bob Hall's couches bream double header, the most we have ever had on the whole boat for the day is 2 so this was something special. The catches continued throughout the day however and we ended up with 19 couches coming to the net, including ten for Ian Napier who was just hoping to catch his first one on this trip. Plenty of hard fighting black bream of varying sizes were caught by all throughout the day mostly returned for next year. A manic session on the anchor saw tope up to 50lb, bull huss, more bream and even a bonus plaice (only the second one I've ever seen in Alderney). Day Three started off with a few hours on the banks which produced half a dozen flats, tub gurnards and cuttlefish, nothing massive but we have had worse days than that this year. Then off to anchor up a big rock mark which was very productive with huss, bream, congers and plenty more big tope. To round the day off we did an hours breaming back by the island, a slow start turned into a frantic half an hour with the bream taking anything you put down there. Average size was way up on the previous day at around 3lb. Bob Hall had the last say of the day with a couches bream and black bream double this time. Day four and the weather unfortunately turned for the worst and we were faced with a small neap tide against 20 knots of westerly. The prospect of swinging round and round the anchor rope all day didn't appeal so we headed back across to Poole Bay to finish the trip up in calmer waters. Out of only a handful of mackerel the lads managed 6 small eyed rays, 1 undulate, 2 smoothounds and would you believe it a 15lb 4oz turbot!?!?! All the time we have spent steaming around looking for those flatfish far and wide and we catch the biggest one of the year right on our doorstep. That’s going to be a tough trip to beat. We are now taking bookings for Alderney 2018 so drop us an email for a list of dates. info@silverspraycharters.com

    Report on-board High Flyer 2

    Bringing us up to date very pleased with new vessel plenty of positive comments from most people especially the press button flush toilet! You would think the snazzy rod holders or seating arrangements no the bog! Its been great couple of weeks really all local boats catching some last minute thornbacks most of ours returned to be honest great for conservation as you can see by the photos. Plenty of very small skate mainly females all returned not worth a picture but great to see. The smoothounds have gone means water is getting colder spotty dogs a pain still one a cast really and yes the whitting are here in numbers keeping us too busy the little bait robbers. Few nice ones among them biggest so far 47cm for us. We have had few codling but still too warm need them leaves off the trees and icy windscreens dont think it will be too much longer lots of geese flying overhead now.Picture today of Trevor Pankhurst had a good few skate with us over the week from London thanks for coming out Trevor.Looking ahead soon as codling appear in reasonable numbers will arrange few night trips as to the weekends ahead limited space now up to xmas do get booked in or i wont be able to get you on Sat/Sun . Midweek trips will make trips up if you fancy certain dates get in touch. So looking forward to our next chapter winter, cup of soups, thermals on, and me in a heated wheelhouse!!! Hopefully see you soon on High Flyer 2. Jon

  • 15/10/2017 Fishing Report by Karlton Ward on Wave Dancer (Liverpool, Merseyside)

    15 Oct 2017 by Karlton Ward

    Report on-board Wave Dancer

    Chalk and cheese today on board with quite possibly the busiest day in a while again ray galore with some big rays caught at our first mark with the biggest fish of the day caught 10lb 2. We also got plenty of really good size whiting, dabs, and doggies.
    The anglers wanted a move so off we went to the next Mark to catch more rays,flatties and whiting. To my excitement my rod bent and the line tightened as soon as I caught up to the lead and I felt the fish knock I knew i had a cod on, to my delight I hauled in a 8lb cod.

    Weekday winter cod 8 hour trips £300 to charter the boat.
