Report on-board Meerkat
***** SHARK TRIPS 2018 *****
We can now safely say we can offer Shark trips aboard Meerkat anything from 3 to 5 days away to Dartmouth.
Rough lay out on what to expect on a 4 day trip away to this amazing bit of coast line.
Day 1 Bait/ Ground bait fishing for the Sharks then a drive to the Skerries bank for some Plaice fishing and we are only a 20 minute drive to the harbour then.
Day 2/3 it will be all about the Sharks leaving in between 7/8 and returning any where between 5/7pm and i will have a restaurant already booked for when we get back for dinner if you want to join us. If the weather is to bad for Shark fishing we will stay around Dartmouth and target all the mixture fishing, Pollock, Plaice, Conger, Huss etc but the aim is to get everyone into a Shark at some point.
Day 4 Home time:( on the way home we will stop for some fresh mackerel for your tea and if there are plenty top up my ground bait bin, then off to the wrecks to try for some Pollock and Bass.
The days may change around a little depending on length of trip and also the weather but are main aim is for everyone to have a great and enjoyable time away with no stress involved.
All Shark gear will be supplied at no extra cost and ground bait will be provided free of charge. If for some reason we cant get enough ground bait before your trip an extra little cost will be asked for so we can buy you some fresh fish for are ground bait mixture but its a maximum of £15pp and that is last resort.
We will have 9 on the boat to keep the cost down for everybody and there will be 6 rods out for the Sharks so i will be managing a time schedule so its fair for everybody. If we are coming to the end of the day and there are a coupe of people with no fish then we will let them have ago and if that doesn't work on the second day they will be on the rods first. The aim is for everyone to have ago and to keep it as fair and as cheap as possible. as we are fishing for the Sharks and its not your turn i am happy for you to fish on the bottom for the Whiting/ Gurnards or Mackerel as long as they are not catching are other rods.
I can book all B&B for you but if you fancy finding some where your self just ask and ive got a big recommendation list.
Prices for a 3 day trip is £250pp, 4 days £340pp, 5 days £420 or for a Whole boat booking £750 a day. Please allow on top for your B&Bs.
If you have any questions about these type of trips please feel free to ask on 07776182782 or ryancasey1@hotmail.com
Dates in 2018 for these time of trips.
July 16th to the 19th 4 day trip. 5 Spaces available
October 8th to the 11th 4 day trip. 1 Space available
If i get enough interest for a 3 day trip i will start one off.

Report on-board Lead Us
A busy 4hrs and the first Cod of the season
Headed off to catch the last of the flood and start off the ebb to avoid the full force of the big tides at the moment. Once the anchor was down and the boat settled we were into fish straight away a nice smoothhound to start with then almost a fish a cast a mixture of spotties and whiting, Tim had a lovely 5.5lb Cod and as the tide eased the thornbacks started to show with Josh and Mark both landing one apiece thing went quiet over slack water which only lasted 30 mins as soon as the flood started to run the fish came back again. We ended the session with 1 cod 2 smoothounds 3 thornbacks 2 spurdogs lots of spotties and a few whiting View Boats Page

Report on-board Silver Spray II
The Headline trip for the last month only just squeezed into this report as it happened just two days ago. Our planned trip to target ling and black bream was met with perfect conditions for a change. With so many of the small neap tides getting blown off by high winds this year I have to admit I was sceptical at times leading up to it. Happy to be proved wrong on this occasion we headed over the horizon and after a cup tea and a few drifts the tide was right to chuck the anchor in and get down to the serious stuff. First up were the ling taking mackerel flappers and heavy hok-eye rigs baited with squid. A frantic hour saw plenty of ling mixed in with congers come to the boat until the tide started to cut away and they went off the feed, as was expected. After our success with the big gear people were reluctant to switch over to the lighter stuff, Mickey Claire from coventry landing our first bream of the day at 5lb 12oz soon speeded up the transition however. Bob Summers followed that up with a cracking PB of 5lb before a few more congers and even a couple of cod on the lighter gear. We saved the best for last though as Mickey Claire made it quite an incredible brace when he wrestled another black bream to the boat just before slack. This time around it weighed in at 6lb 8oz, just shy of the british record and certainly a new boat record for us at Silver Spray. Talk about a red letter day, what a monster fish, well done Mickey that’s going to be a tough one to beat. The bass fishing of late definitely deserves a mention. The usual lures and live baits working well, it's been nice to see so many fish coming up around the slack water on cut baits. Kev Lee topping the charts this month with a fine fish of 9lb 8oz on mackerel strip. Further inshore the plaice fishing in Poole Bay has been brilliant, not just the numbers of fish showing up but also some real whoppers. Frazer Jones landed one of 4lb 8oz after over 2 years without a fishing trip to his name. And to round off a brilliant months fishing we managed to land a porbeagle shark on our first try of the year. Caught by Casey Alcock on his birthday the fish took one and a half hours to bring to the boat and was estimated to be 150-180lb, a truly magnificent creature. We are coming up to our last trip over to Alderney this year, looking forward to next year the dates are starting to fill up already so get in touch if you are interested in a list of dates.

Report on-board Size Matters
[This report was written when Size Matters was operating from Plymouth]
It's good to be back out again after all the bad weather we have had recently. We have been targeting Conger and Sharks over the last few days, catching Blue Shark to 98lb 8oz, Conger to 63lb, Porbeagle Shark to 60lb, Ling to 28lb, Cod to 16lb, Bass to 4lb, Garfish to 2lb 8oz and Red Band Fish.
We had a red letter day on the Conger, between 11 anglers we caught 109 Conger to 63lb. Mick Southworth caught two Conger over 60lb, we also caught Ling to 28lb and Cod to 16lb. Most of the Conger where 25lb to 35lb, in total we had over 3000lb of fish that day.
On the Sharks best day has been 21 Blues to 95lb and two Porgies to 60lb sadly as I was about to lift the 60lb Porgie in to the boat but he spat the hook. It's good to see the baby Porgies, just need to find where there mother lives now. Please note all Sharks and 98% of Conger are returned alive, if we catch a Conger that is deep hooked and someone wants to take it for the table that's fine.

Fishing Report by Scott Belbin
on Galloper (Brightlingsea, Essex)
Sep 2017 by Scott Belbin
Report on-board Galloper
Its been a long time since my last report on here. We had a few nice fish over the summer and the weather was ok on the whole. there were a few decent smooth-hounds about here and there along with some nice bass and the usual mixed bags of thorn-backs, dogfish and such like to make the days up. When it has been windy the blackwater estuary has produced the goods too. On the right tides we can do well in here and avoid the weed too. One morning with just two lads aboard we managed around 15 sizable bass (although most were returned due to the 1 bass per angler bag limit). We have also snuck out a few ballen and corkwing wrasse which aren’t too common around here. The river also produced the first codling of the season on my dads boat ‘Razorbill 3’ way back in august. It was only a small fish but hopefully a good sign of things to come in the fast approaching cod season. With that in mind im not expecting great guns from the cod but we should definitely see an improvement on last year (although that’s not hard as they barely showed). There were good numbers of little codletts along the shore in places in the spring so these fish are likely to return in the 12-18 inch bracket this autumn. Fingers crossed we should see a few bigger fish mixed in too along with the usual autumn run of thorn-backs, dogfish whiting ect. Although I may be a bit laxed on here with reports ect I keep my available dates as up to date as possible and my reports on my website and facebook are usually quite popular.
