Boat Record Smashed Twice In One Day !
Out again on Lead Us Saturday 22nd found heading back to grounds that had produced earlier in the week. With a crew of 4 on board including two young lads Kacey and Lewis on their first trip angling on a boat and what a day it turned out for them, once we had settled into position it was the steady stream of doggies and whiting which continued throughout the day with the odd smoothound thrown in for good measure. Lewis was the first to hook into a ray a nice Thornback at a respectable 7lbs and his biggest sea fish, graham next with a smaller Thornback things were looking good. Then Lewis was into something and it was obvious it was big and took some getting off the bottom as it appeared on the surface a very big Thornback i didn't think it would fit in the net. Once on board and weighed at 12lb smashing the boat record by nearly 2lbs making a very happy Lewis. slack water arrived and things slowed down with the odd whiting coming in as the tide started again graham picked up a Blonde Ray a first for the boat. With the weather worsening and the wind blowing the boat all over the place and everyone just dropping their baits over the side Kacey's rod nearly disappeared over the side as i grabbed it i knew there was something big on the and handed it back for Kacey to bring in once on board another very big fish which caused some debate between the boys as to whose was the biggest but the scales proved Kacey's fish was the biggest at just over 12.25lbs breaking the boat record again and his biggest ever sea fish. At this point with the weather worsening we headed in with two very happy boys and a good day had by all. View Boats Page

Report on-board Delta Sunrise.
After a successful trip for Plaice in March we were back out with Alan on Delta Dawn Brighton Marina Friday 21st April. As it was a small tide we headed out for deep water and were still able to use light tackle. Almost immediately there was action which lasted all day and all 6 anglers boated decent specimens which were all safely returned. Top of the pile were some beautiful Smoothhounds and Starry Smoothounds with a couple of double figure fish amongst the 20 or more that were boated. There were also 2 lovely Undulate Rays both double figure fish, a number of Thornbacks and plenty of Dogfish and Whiting during the quieter moments. A really enjoyable day, thanks Alan.

Fishing Report by Shaun Collins-Lindsay
on Reel Deal (Watchet, Somerset)

Report on-board Reel Deal
On the 20 April Clive and myself set off from Hampshire heading for North Devon to go fishing for Porbeagle sharks the closest realitive to the Great White. The day was perfect slightly over cast with light winds and a light tide. We arrived at Ilfracombe and met up with Dan our skipper on Reel Deal. We set off on our journey heading south towards Lundy Island, once we were past the Island Dan Checked the drift while the tackle was being set up. 6 rods were put over the side all set at different depths, the chum buckets were put out and the slick flattens the water nicely with all the dead baits sitting perfectly in the slick, it now was a waiting game. Whilst we were waiting for the either a screaming reel or waiting to see our floats start bobbing we started fishing for Pollock and Mackerel. A couple off Pollock were caught, Dan said that we were about to approach the reef were he would expect to catch a Shark. He wasn't wrong Dan noticed the middle float disappear, it was on and the battle started. This was a big Porbeagle she made lots of big runs but as we had a small team on board we all shared the pain. The way this shark was fighting Dan knew we were into a really big Porbeagle Shark, this fish would turn out to be the biggest fish that I have ever landed topping my black Marlin from Kenya. So after an hour and half of being beaten up by this powerful shark, she had tired and I was given the honours to bring her up to the boat. After a couple of desperate runs she came up to the boat, when she surfaced everyone was flabbergasted at the size of her, this Porbeagle was full of pup and massive in the range of 450lbs - 500lbs. Dan was going to tag her but as she had put up such a spirited fight we all agreed to release her straight away with out putting any more stress on her. She swam away from the boat perfectly back to the depths. So straight back into the fishing hoping to catch another monster it wasn't long until one broke the surface swimming around our floats , again everyone waiting in anticipation for those reels to start screaming but nothing happened, the hours past and we were just about to head for home when one of the reels started screaming the fight was on, this fish was using the boat to its advantage giving me a merry dance around the boat but after 15 Mins this shark managed to shake the hook. This was a fantastic day on board Reel Deal with a great skipper Dan Hawkins who put us on the Shark and what a Shark it was. Porbeagle 450lbs - 500lbs
