Fishing Report by Malcolm Collins
on Just Mary (Christchurch, Dorset)
14 May 2017 by Malcolm Collins
Report on-board Just Mary
Hi All, despite the persistent Easterly winds a week of trips have found us on local marks, Southbourne Rough and Poole Rocks seeking out some nice prime condition hard fighting Black Bream. Taking only males for the table and releasing females still full of roe unharmed back to the Sea. A week spent in good company and not always in ideal conditions but still the fish come to the landing net ! My star of the week is Neville from London a septuagenarian who drives an AC Cobra replica and loves his Inshore fishing on 'Just Mary' with his 'classic' fishing tackle still doing the 'business'. Just proving that age or tackle choice is no bar to catching good fish on 'Just Mary' from Poole who is herself a 'Classic' Angling Charter Boat of the Seas. All the best to You All, ta Malc.....see you soon !

Report on-board SWN Y MOR
Hi out today very breezy although at Amlwch plenty of shelter by cliffs allowing you to get a trip fising in deep water (150 feet) plenty of Huss dogs whiting dabs.too much wind to drift reefs without loosing loads of gear .water now has a bloom in it but should go shortly thus making the mackerel difficult to find. Cheers Roy

Fishing Report by Bob Marshall
on Duke IV (Ramsgate, Kent)
13 May 2017 by Bob Marshall
Report on-board Duke IV
The Belgium fiching club are back in Ramsgate fishing every day aboard Duke IV. On Thursday they landed Smoothounds to 9lb along with Skate and some nice Whiting, unusual for this time of year. Frozen crab caught the Hounds with Herring for the Skate. Today we have headed north looking for the Hounds but are catching plenty of Skate, mostly Male fish on Herring bait. Still spaces available aboard Duke IV for groups or individuals. Call me on 07715050851 to get out fishing and make the most of this very productive time of year.

Fishing Report by Gethyn Owen
on My Way 2 (Holyhead, Isle of Anglesey)
10 May 2017 by Gethyn Owen
Report on-board My Way 2
Angler Report from 10th May
So today, myself and a great bunch of lads went out on My Way with Gethyn Owen, great banter, excellent food including the poshest sausage and bacon sandwich and the best millionaires shortcake I’ve ever eaten.
We started on the drift for pollock and wrasse and were rewarded with a few fish for our efforts including cuckoo wrasse, ballan wrasse and pollock for myself, then we headed to the deeps and after a couple of fruitless drifts in which the pollock must of been hiding from the predators that were following.
Gethyn put the anchor down and we were away, it was quiet for 20 mins or so and then Carl Gwarek had a nice tope.
Followed by the first spur to Norman Bowerman, I then lost what felt like a nice spur when it bit through my trace, gutted. Meanwhile Tom Murphy was making easy work of the spurs.
Then the pack tope came on the feed with a flurry of fish around 10lb mark including one to myself, thinking my chances of a spur had gone when I noticed a bite, hit into it and felt it was a better tope all the way in until I saw it, I was made up when it went into the net, first spur ever after years of trying not a bad one either! Just like buses I had another one quickly and that was a better sized one probably into low doubles.
We then headed in shore for a few more drifts that threw up some nice pollock, then, it was onto the hounds and we all put on peeler and went for it, it was slow as expected with it being early for them. Paul Anthony Brooks had a small Huss and then the first hound came aboard to Anthony Harrison, I won’t mention the one that was knocked off shortly before������.
I then had a nice bite and struck into what felt like a really nice fish, it fought hard all the way to boat where gethyn put it safely in the net. A hound of double figures, this was the icing on the cake for me and it finished what was one of the best boat trips I’ve ever had. I highly recommend Gethyn, a great day out. Cheers lads.
Edit, forgot to mention Ste Macfie and his cracking spur �� aha

Fishing Report by Roger Lennon
on Skerry Belle (Ramsgate, Kent)
1 Jun 2018 by Roger Lennon
Report on-board Skerry Belle
Some terrific fish on board the Skerry Belle. With the best fish definately going to Wayne Milton for his monster bass, weighing in at 19 lb 4 oz. This fish is 5 oz off the British boat record and the biggest UK boat caught bass since 1987. So as you can see that really is a great achievement (see photo).
Our best blonde on board so far is 24 lb. We had a near record sea scorpion which gave us just short of a record. Some of our thornbacks have been nudging the 18 lb mark. The thornbacks are here in abundance, with again, over 20 per trip not uncommon.
As spring approaches we will start paying our attention to the wrecks on the Goodwins where we should see good numbers of coding bass, channel whiting blondes gurnard plaice and most other species. Remember we cater for walk ons, small groups, whole boat bookings up to 10 anglers. Remember all equipment, baits and tuition is included on all trips, unlimited tea and coffee and hot pies for lunch. Walk in toilet, hot and cold running water, heating and seating inside for all.
Now taking bookings for summer wrecks
Tight Lines,
Roger
