    Report on-board TROT- ON

    Friday saw us out with a crew of 7 anglers, The first stop was on the ground at the 5 mile mark. This produced Coddling , Strap Ling and Whiting falling mainly to squid bait.
    We then moved onto a wreck and started to pick up a better stamp of Coddlings as well as bigger Ling averaging around 5 -6 lb along with the pesky Pouting who as usual were pecking at the bait.
    Baited Hookki's started to pick a few Mackeral up which were of a good pan size, Trot On regulars "Big Andy" Pendleberry and previous W.C.S.A festival winner Dave Makings were getting best results with bait and had approx 20 fish between them, However it was another angler who took the boat sweep with a nice plump Cod of around 8lb. caught on a shad. With the W.C.S.A. 2017 Summer festival starting July 1 -23 Trot On still has some places available so to in with your chance of winning the £5000 1st place prize give Paul Eddon a call on 07766995847 and book your place on Whitby's premier charter boat TROT ON

    Report on-board Wave Dancer

    Sunday 4th WHAT A DAY probably my best days fishing so far. We started slowly with one 5lb ray in the first hour. The following 3 hours was the most prolific ray fest I have ever had,56 rays were caught from 1lb babies to the biggest 7.6lb and 1 whiting. We asked the anglers if they fancied a move and go for some smoothies, reluctantly they agreed so on we steamed. At he next mark the inevitable dog fish was soon caught followed by a 3.5lb smooth hound and his bigger brother at 7.5lb. Next on board we had a 4lb tope and a small plaice, a steady precession of smoothies,tope and starry smooth hounds followed. We caught 53 fish caught and the day at an end. As we called the day and the anglers were reeling in there lines we were all working out who had won the cash prize for first,most and biggest when jimmy shouted fish on. As the biggest fish winner I waited to see what had made his line go tight when mick also shouted fish on. After a small fight Mick landed his 5lb tope which worried me as jimmy was still fighting his fish. Following a decent fight Jimmy shouted for the net. As my heart sank he hoisted a 10.4lb starry smooth hound. What a great way to end a fantastic days fishing. Well done jimmy for not only landing a magnificent starry smooth hound but also snatching the biggest fish prize for the day.

    Report on-board Wave Dancer

    Saturday 3rd went on a doggie hunt for this trip and we were not disappointed. Out the Irish Sea in what can only be described as a rollercoaster of a start due to big winds and rolling sea.
    First doggie on board in under 10 minutes followed by 50 more in over three hours, we also caught lots of herring,flatties and a couple of whiting.
    We pulled the hook and went for some shelter from the wind for the second half of the trip and found tope, smoithies and a couple of small rays.

    A good amount of mackerel being caught inshore now with whiting,dogs,gurnards, huss, rays and the tope now running inshore. So given the strong south westerly winds forecast we should still be able to get out targetting the tope. Get in touch if you fancy getting out.

    Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3

    The Bream fishing continues to excel with good catches, the weather has restricted our options but the fishing has been excellent in Poole Bay, during May fishing close to the shores we caught plenty of 1lb to 3 lb Plaice, Gurnards, and small Hounds. The Lymington boys did their species comp in very challenging conditions and landed a respectable 21 different species including a new club record Cornish Sucker (still waiting for it to be verified). On the outer banks there are plenty of Bull Huss and Tope along with some big Blondes. As summer approaches come and join us and enjoy the spectacular scenery the Dorset coast has to offer and its fine fishing.
    all the best

    The Reef/Bank trips are producing some good fishing with species like Black Bream, Tope, Rays, Congers, Bull Huss, Turbot, Brill etc. Andy More landed a 10Ib 4oz Turbot on a two hook flowing trace with size 4/0 Sakuma Stinger hooks baited with Mackerel and Squid strips, the hungry Turbot took both hooks. Andy won a Flamer IV catch of the day trophy for his Turbot catch and is pictured with his Turbot.
    Nice to see the Black Bream now showing on the Reefs around Portland after completing their spawning on the grounds east of Weymouth.

  • 06/2017 Fishing Report by Kevin McKie on Size Matters (Craobh Haven, Argyll & Bute)

    Report on-board Size Matters

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

    The Guernsey Curse Continues!!!
    Our second Guernsey trip of the year has been cancelled due to the strong winds. We have five more Gurnsey trips to do this year so hopefully we get over there at some point.
    The fishing from Plymouth has been fantastic inshore marks we have been catching Ling to 12lb, Pollack to 8lb, Cod to 5lb and Whiting to 3lb. On the offshore marks we have been catching Conger to 66lb, Ling to 33lb, Pollack to 13lb, Coalfish to 8lb, Cod to 5lb and Whiting to 3lb. We are catching more and more cod each trip now, the anglers have hooked some good cod but failed to land them due to tight drags and inexperience. On one Conger trip the Corsair's deep sea fishing club member Gary Whewall from stoke landed Conger of 66lb, 50lb and 45lb on consecutive drops!! It was his first ever Conger fishing trip, Gary listened to my advice on how to hook a Conger in deep water and he reaped the rewards. I have just got my hands on a tide table for 2018 from a fellow skipper and I have started taking booking for next year, we are already 40% full for next season from Plymouth.
